With all the talk about the overpopulation in the world and its effects on our environment, you find that the experts in Russia are occupied by its population decline. Russia's population is shrinking. According to M. Rosenberg (2006), in the early 1990’s at the time of the end of the Soviet Union, Russia’s population was 148 million. Today, Russia's population is 143 million. "The Russian Federation today is in the grip of a steadily tightening mesh of serious demographic problems, for which the term ‘crisis’ is no overstatement. This crisis is altering the realm of the possible for the country and its people--continuously, directly, and adversely. Russian social conditions, economic potential, military power, and international influence are today all subject to negative demographic constraints--and these constraints stand only to worsen over the years immediately ahead" (Eberstadt, 2005, para.1). “Russia's population of 143 million people is expected to decrease by 22 percent between now and the year 2050. If this expectation happens, Russia could lose 42 percent of its active working population” (Mcadams, 2006, para. 2). The causes of this decline are the dilapidating health care system, the low birth rate, the high consumption of alcohol, drugs and cigarettes and the high abortion rate. Russia should make solutions in order to end its population decline. The best solutions are that Russia should provide an enduring health care system, decrease the consumption of alcohol, cigarettes and drugs, and stop abortion.
First, Russia has a free but a very poor health care system. It should revamp it in order to increase its people’s life expectancy and stop its population from decreasing. According to A. Rodriguez (2008), the big reason for Russia's population decline by 7,000,000 people a year is that its death rate is very high and the average life expectancy for Russian men is 59. In the U.S. it is 75; in Japan it is 79. In the existent health care system there are few professional doctors, rife corruption, and poor equipment. “Medical care in Russia is among the worst in the industrialized world. A 2000 World Health Organization report ranked Russia's health system 130th out of 191 countries, on a par with such nations as Peru and Honduras” (Danilova, 2007, para. 6). Therefore, Russia should spend more money on its health care system. This spending should contain three goals. First, it should make the salaries of the nurses and doctors higher in order to diminish the corruption. It should provide new equipment to its hospitals, and it should train its workers who work in the health care system. If Russia does that, the life expectancy of its people will be higher and its population decrease will stop. According to A. Rodriguez (2008), In Russia there are many 30 to 59-year-old men who die from heart diseases. If Russia provides a better health care system, it can reverse that trend. Russia's health care system needs to be changed as soon as possible.
Second, Russia should decrease the consumption of alcohol, drugs and cigarettes. The drug use, alcoholism and cigarettes are leading reasons for the decline in Russia's population (BBC News, 2002). Also, “Rates of alcoholism and drug addiction have increased, especially among young people. Two-thirds of Russian males currently smoke, more than twice the proportion in the USA, and one third of Russian females also smoke. Lung cancer has increased by almost 63% since the mid-1990s” (de Rooy, 2002, para. 4). Therefore, Russia should cope with this problem by doing three things. First, Russia should put high taxes on buying alcohol or cigarettes in order to stop its people from drinking or smoking too much. Second, it should effectively prevent smuggling drugs into its borders. Finally, Russia should use media in order to warn its people of the dangers of drug use, alcoholism and cigarettes. According to A. Smolchenko (2005, para. 7) “there is an urgent need to raise awareness about leading healthier lifestyles to reverse trends”. She also doesn’t believe that the average Russian wants to die. But she believes that Russians don’t know what to do to stay healthy. Russia should stop its people from doing these habits.
Third, Russia should stop allowing abortion. According to M. Rosenberg (2006), during the Soviet time, abortion was very common as a method of birth control. That technique is still common today, which makes the country's mortality rate high. Also, "there are more abortions than births in Russia. The most recent available figures, for 2006, show 1.6 million abortions compared to 1.5 million live births" (Huliq news, 2007, p. 1). In 2003, the BBC reported that Russia had "13 abortions for every 10 live births. Furthermore, a total of 1.582 million abortions accrued in Russia in 2006 (As cited in M. Rosenberg’ article, 2006). If Russia did not allow abortion, it would not lose this number of children that could grow and have children, which could keep Russia's population from decline. Russia should do three things in order to stop abortion. First, it should stop the pharmacies from selling abortion drugs. Second, it should penalize women who use abortion to lose their infants without strong reasons. Finally, it should offer money to the new parents who think about abortion because their financial positions are bad in order to stop them from doing that.
Some people may feel that by promoting immigration and increasing birth rate, Russia can stop its population from decline; however, if Russia does that its population will not stop from decreasing, because the actual problem in Russia is that the death rate is very high. Therefore, there is one solution for Russian population decline, which is decreasing its death rate, because if it decreases its death rate, its population will stop decreasing and its population will go back to increasing. Also, birth rates in many developed countries are declining or stagnant because women in these countries are working outside or getting their education. Therefore, in this time it is hard to persuade women to have more children. Furthermore, the ethnic Russian group will not allow immigration, because they don’t want any group in Russia like the Islamic group to be stronger than them. Because the number of people that die annually in Russia is very high, Russia should decrease it. According to M. Rosenberg (2006), Russia has a very high death rate of 15 deaths per 1000 people per year. This is far higher than the world's average death rate of just under 9. The death rate in the U.S. is 8 per 1000 and in the United Kingdom it's 10 per 1000. Therefore, it should decrease the consumption of alcohol, drugs and cigarettes. Also according to M. Rosenberg (2006), because of the high rate of alcoholism women don’t have children. Second, according to R. Kupchinsky (2006), it is clear that making the birth rate higher and increasing immigration is not going to be enough. Huge barriers will remain, including deteriorating health-care system, alcohol dependency and tremendous abortion rate.
In conclusion, Russia should repair its health care system, make alcohol, drug and cigarette consumption lower, and make abortion illegal. Russia is a very rich country. Its land is full of miners, oil and gas. In the current time Russia's economy is growing. Therefore, the Russian government has a lot to do in order to cope with its population declines to cover the gap between its economic growth and its population decline. Also, its huge land needs more people to build it and to get the benefit from it. If Russia gets over this issue, it will be back to its old position in the world with all of the oil and gas wealth that it has. Russians should come together and work hard to overcome this issue. Russian men should stop smoking, drinking and using illicit drugs. Russian women should stop having abortions. Russian doctors and nurses should stop the corruption. Russia's future will be better after it overcomes this issue. Being a developed country with oil wealth would lead Russia to get back on its feet strongly.

Solutions for Russia’s population decline
With all the talk about the overpopulation in the world and its effects on our environment, you find that the experts in Russia are occupied by its population decline. Russia's population is shrinking. According to M. Rosenberg (2006), in the early 1990’s at the time of the end of the Soviet Union, Russia’s population was 148 million. Today, Russia's population is 143 million. "The Russian Federation today is in the grip of a steadily tightening mesh of serious demographic problems, for which the term ‘crisis’ is no overstatement. This crisis is altering the realm of the possible for the country and its people--continuously, directly, and adversely. Russian social conditions, economic potential, military power, and international influence are today all subject to negative demographic constraints--and these constraints stand only to worsen over the years immediately ahead" (Eberstadt, 2005, para.1). “Russia's population of 143 million people is expected to decrease by 22 percent between now and the year 2050. If this expectation happens, Russia could lose 42 percent of its active working population” (Mcadams, 2006, para. 2). The causes of this decline are the dilapidating health care system, the low birth rate, the high consumption of alcohol, drugs and cigarettes and the high abortion rate. Russia should make solutions in order to end its population decline.

A 2000 World Health Organization report ranked Russia's health system 130th out of 191 countries, on a par with such nations as Peru and Honduras” (Danilova, 2007, para. 6). Therefore, Russia should spend more money on its health care system. This spending should contain three goals. First, it should make the salaries of the nurses and doctors higher in order to diminish the corruption. It should provide new equipment to its hospitals, and it should train its workers who work in the health care system. If Russia does that, the life expectancy of its people will be higher and its population decrease will stop. According to A. Rodriguez (2008), In Russia there are many 30 to 59-year-old men who die from heart diseases. If Russia provides a better health care system, it can reverse that trend. Russia's health care system needs to be changed as soon as possible.
Second, Russia should decrease the consumption of alcohol, drugs and cigarettes. The drug use, alcoholism and cigarettes are leading reasons for the decline in Russia's population (BBC News, 2002). Also, “Rates of alcoholism and drug addiction have increased, especially among young people. Two-thirds of Russian males currently smoke, more than twice the proportion in the USA, and one third of Russian females also smoke. Lung cancer has increased by almost 63% since the mid-1990s” (de Rooy, 2002, para. 4). Therefore, Russia should cope with this problem by doing three things. First, Russia should put high taxes on buying alcohol or cigarettes in order to stop its people from drinking or smoking too much. Second, it should effectively prevent smuggling drugs into its borders. Finally, Russia should use media in order to warn its people of the dangers of drug use, alcoholism and cigarettes. According to A. Smolchenko (2005, para. 7) “there is an urgent need to raise awareness about leading healthier lifestyles to reverse trends”. She also doesn’t believe that the average Russian wants to die. But she believes that Russians don’t know what to do to stay healthy. Russia should stop its people from doing these habits.
Third, Russia should stop allowing abortion. According to M. Rosenberg (2006), during the Soviet time, abortion was very common as a method of birth control. That technique is still common today, which makes the country's mortality rate high. Also, "there are more abortions than births in Russia. The most recent available figures, for 2006, show 1.6 million abortions compared to 1.5 million live births" (Huliq news, 2007, p. 1). In 2003, the BBC reported that Russia had "13 abortions for every 10 live births. Furthermore, a total of 1.582 million abortions accrued in Russia in 2006 (As cited in M. Rosenberg’ article, 2006). If Russia did not allow abortion, it would not lose this number of children that could grow and have children, which could keep Russia's population from decline. Russia should do three things in order to stop abortion. First, it should stop the pharmacies from selling abortion drugs. Second, it should penalize women who use abortion to lose their infants without strong reasons. Finally, it should offer money to the new parents who think about abortion because their financial positions are bad in order to stop them from doing that.
Some people may feel that by promoting immigration and increasing birth rate, Russia can stop its population from decline; however, if Russia does that its population will not stop from decreasing, because the actual problem in Russia is that the death rate is very high. Therefore, there is one solution for Russian population decline, which is decreasing its death rate, because if it decreases its death rate, its population will stop decreasing and its population will go back to increasing. Also, birth rates in many developed countries are declining or stagnant because women in these countries are working outside or getting their education. Therefore, in this time it is hard to persuade women to have more children. Furthermore, the ethnic Russian group will not allow immigration, because they don’t want any group in Russia like the Islamic group to be stronger than them. Because the number of people that die annually in Russia is very high, Russia should decrease it. According to M. Rosenberg (2006), Russia has a very high death rate of 15 deaths per 1000 people per year. This is far higher than the world's average death rate of just under 9. The death rate in the U.S. is 8 per 1000 and in the United Kingdom it's 10 per 1000. Therefore, it should decrease the consumption of alcohol, drugs and cigarettes. Also according to M. Rosenberg (2006), because of the high rate of alcoholism women don’t have children. Second, according to R. Kupchinsky (2006), it is clear that making the birth rate higher and increasing immigration is not going to be enough. Huge barriers will remain, including deteriorating health-care system, alcohol dependency and tremendous abortion rate.
In conclusion, Russia should repair its health care system, make alcohol, drug and cigarette consumption lower, and make abortion illegal. Russia is a very rich country. Its land is full of miners, oil and gas. In the current time Russia's economy is growing. Therefore, the Russian government has a lot to do in order to cope with its population declines to cover the gap between its economic growth and its population decline. Also, its huge land needs more people to build it and to get the benefit from it. If Russia gets over this issue, it will be back to its old position in the world with all of the oil and gas wealth that it has. Russians should come together and work hard to overcome this issue. Russian men should stop smoking, drinking and using illicit drugs. Russian women should stop having abortions. Russian doctors and nurses should stop the corruption. Russia's future will be better after it overcomes this issue. Being a developed country with oil wealth would lead Russia to get back on its feet strongly.

First, Russia has a free but a very poor health care system. It should revamp it in order to increase its people’s life expectancy and stop its population from decreasing. According to A. Rodriguez (2008), the big reason for Russia's population decline by 7,000,000 people a year is that its death rate is very high and the average life expectancy for Russian men is 59. In the U.S. it is 75; in Japan it is 79. In the existent health care system there are few professional doctors, rife corruption, and poor equipment. “Medical care in Russia is among the worst in the industrialized world.

Mnsho is nervous
In Carbondale I am always nervous. My life in Carbondale makes me nervous because of several things. First, the food in Carbondale is very different from the food in my country. Therefore, some time I feel that I am starving and I need to eat real food. The idea of that I can’t eat some kind of food, because I am in the United States makes me nervous. Second, the U.S collage requirements make me nervous. When I think about the collage requirements, I feel disappointed, sad, and nervous because it needs a lot of hard work to get them. Third, when I think about my parents, I feel nervous, because they are very old and they like me to be around. Furthermore, the way of teaching that Cesl is using makes me nervous because it is a very stressful way. In my classes every day there are quizzes and everything is graded. Therefore, I feel very nervous. In addition, the weather in Carbondale makes me nervous because it is not expectable. Every day the weather is changing in Carbondale. Weather in one day is cold another day is hot. Then I feel nervous when I have a lot of homework. Also, I feel nervous when I feel that the classes in Cesl are not useful and I am wasting my time when I attend them. I am very nervous because the live in Cesl is hard. I hope I finish Cesl as soon as possible because I started to be tired. When I finish Cesl I will quet smoking because I smoked very much in last year because of cesl.

In the past people used to live in tribes or groups to be connected to each other. Conation is very important in every period of the time. In these days people with all the world's new Technology don’t need to live in Tribe or group anymore, because the technology make the conation easy in any place in the world. Facebook is a new way of conation that the advanced technology provided to us. It is a very popular website, which people from all over the world use in order to connect with each other. Facebook is a very useful website because of three things. First, it is the one of the best ways for Friends' connection. Second, it is a very helpful website for collage’s students. Finally, it is a practical website for business.
Facebook is a very good way for friends' connection. First, by it users can find their old friend whom they lose conation with them. For example, in it a person can find some friends who he or she had studied with them in elementary school, middle school, high school and collage. Second, it is one of the cheapest ways that a person can keep in touch with his or her friends by it even if he or he is far away from them. For example, by it I can contact with my friends and their new friends In Saudi Arabia while I am studying her in America and I pay nothing. Third, by it a person can know about all his Friends activities and participate with them if they are interested in that. Finally, by it a person can know more or new information about his or her friends that could make him or make her understands them better.
Facebook is a beneficial website for students. First, students can know the answer of the hard questions in certain class by a certain group that they make in it. For example, if some students were attending a chemistry class and the teacher of this class gave them 10 questions as homework, a student who didn't know the answer of a question or more could post the question or the questions in Facebook and ask if anyone know how to do it or them and hopefully he would get the answer or answers. Second, students who are about to graduate from high schools can make groups or inter groups in it, in older to collect information about universities from their future class mates. Finally, students who attend classes with a certain professor can exchange their notes by it or by their group in it. For example, by it an absent student could get other students notes and hopefully would understand the lecture that he or she missed.
Facebook is a good website for business. First, because of its huge number of participators companies can advertise their products by it. "Facebook has hit the 175,000,000 active user mark, just 5 weeks after it hit 150 million users in January. At this rate, Facebook has been growing by well over 600,000 users per day over the last several weeks." (Inside Facebook, 2009, P. 1-1). Second, managers and workers in the same company can make close relations by it and know more about each other by it. Every body knows that the good relationship between manger and his workers make workers work more effectively. Third, by it companies can stay in touch with its ex-employees had get benefits from their experiences. Finally, companies can get feed back from its consumers if they build good relationships with them in it.
Facebook is a great website for Friends’ conation, a useful website for students, and a practical website for business. The revolution of connection make the connection between people easer and cheaper. In these days a person can connect and make relationships with people even if he or she hasn’t mated in the regular life. Also, the connections in these days sometime cost no money because of Internet. People should use the new ways of connection wisely and effectively. They should make them an enduring land for the next generations.

Third, by it a person can know about all his Friends activities and participate with them if they are interested in that. Finally, by it a person can know more or new information about his or her friends that could make him or make her understands them better.
Facebook is a beneficial website for students. First, students can know the answer of the hard questions in certain class by a certain group that they make in it. For example, if some students were attending a chemistry class and the teacher of this class gave them 10 questions as homework, a student who didn't know the answer of a question or more could post the question or the questions in Facebook and ask if anyone know how to do it or them and hopefully he would get the answer or answers. Second, students who are about to graduate from high schools can make groups or inter groups in it, in older to collect information about universities from their future class mates. Finally, students who attend classes with a certain professor can exchange their notes by it or by their group in it. For example, by it an absent student could get other students notes and hopefully would understand the lecture that he or she missed.
Facebook is a good website for business. First, because of its huge number of participators companies can advertise their products by it. "Facebook has hit the 175,000,000 active user mark, just 5 weeks after it hit 150 million users in January. At this rate, Facebook has been growing by well over 600,000 users per day over the last several weeks." (Inside Facebook, 2009, P. 1-1). Second, managers and workers in the same company can make close relations by it and know more about each other by it. Every body knows that the good relationship between manger and his workers make workers work more effectively. Third, by it companies can stay in touch with its ex-employees had get benefits from their experiences. Finally, companies can get feed back from its consumers if they build good relationships with them in it.
Facebook is a great website for Friends’ conation, a useful website for students, and a practical website for business. The revolution of connection make the connection between people easer and cheaper. In these days a person can connect and make relationships with people even if he or she hasn’t mated in the regular life. Also, the connections in these days sometime cost no money because of Internet. People should use the new ways of connection wisely and effectively. They should make them an enduring land for the next generations.

Love
In Saudi Arabia to party in Valentine’s Day is forbidden. In my country there are only two holidays that our prophet told us to party, but I always have a problem in Valentine’s Day. The problem is that my love is from Syria, which is not a religious country. Therefore, she always wants me to speak with her or send to her card or any thing in this day, but I always refuse to do so. In last Sunday I did not send to her any massage, I didn’t speak with her, because of the Valentine’s Day. Therefore, she sent massages to me today to complain that why I didn’t speak with her, or why I didn’t sent to her massage. Some time men cannot understand women. I always tell her that the love is in the heart. Therefore, we don’t need to have an especial day to party or show our love. I know that she is angry with me, but I will handle that. Also, in my opinion men should give rose always to girls in any time because girls are the most beautiful creatures in our world. I know that men always show their emotion by doing things but girls love to hear some worm words and get some beautiful roses. Therefore, we should treat them nicer not only in Valentine’s Day but also in every day. I love a girl that I love, because she is a great person. She always tries to make me happy and I have never felt angry because of her. She is a great person. I wish I were with her now.
