Healthcare of the Unites States is a Privilege, not a Right

I believe current health care in the United States is a privilege, not a right.  The Health care system of United States is based on the private and public insurance system.  Private Insurance is based on employer sponsor and individual purchase, while Public Insurance is based on Medicaid which is for people over age of 65 and disabled people.  According to U.S. department of Health and Human services (2011, September), 55.3% of the population’s insurance is sponsored by employer and 16.3% are uninsured.  Even Health is the basic and universal right for human being significant proportion of American population could not afford the rocketed cost of health care and insurance.  It is not only a problem of uninsured individual but also of working and middle-class families who have health insurance but still struggle to pay for it.  If it were the right, people would access health care despite of their age, employment and income.

To ameliorate the present condition, the government should implement Universal Health care system rather than involving private sectors.  Private Organizations are completely based on profit.  So, those people with good financial conditions can only afford the expensive services.  For instance, Per Capita Income of United States is twice as much as other Industrialized Country, while the outcome is worse with higher mortality rate in comparison to those industrialized Counties.  If the government enforces the law of universal health care like in Canada, Britain and Germany, then it will bring better results and Health Care will be affordable to every citizen of U.S.

The top and renowned hospital and technology may not only differentiate the health status of people.  In America, we have the largest medical center of the world with more advance technology.  Despite this, many people get disadvantaged because of not being able to pay for insurance and struggle for their whole life fighting for the medical coverage.  Leslie Elder died because of Hodgkin Lymphoma at the age of 63, who gave up soaring and unaffordable insurance rates and got defeated while fighting decades for medical coverage (Stephanie & Nadia , 2012, September 2).  This is the overwhelming reality of American people.

Anuradha Koirala is Making the World a Better Place to Live

The name of person whom I greatly admire is Anuradha Koirala. She is the founder and director of Maiti Nepal, which is a non profit organization formed to protect Nepali girls and women from crimes like domestic violence, trafficking for flesh trade, child prostitution, child labor and various forms of exploitation and torture. She is also the winner of CNN Hero Award 2010 because of her extraordinary work against girl trafficking. Furthermore, she has not solely entailed to rescuing the girl from brothels of India but also created shelters by building Maiti Nepal as a better place to live for the victim of sex trades. 

         Koirala salvaged many girls from the village of Nepal from being sold to brothels of India for sex. These bawdy house owners repeatedly torture, enslave and make victims to face rape without leaving them any hope to escape out from that hell. Since 1993, Anuradha has rescued more than 12,000 young women and girls from brothels of India and 80% of them were HIV patients. Those extricated girls had no place to live and their family members, and society no longer permitted these girls to stay with them. So, she opened a non profit organization called Maiti Nepal (Mother’s Home), which is a place for them to heal, to go school and learn new skills, so that they can regain their spirits. Additionally, for those who were the victim of HIV, she opened a Hospice named as Snegriha (Home of Love).   

                      

         Moreover, she devoted her life to make trafficking free society because she took human trafficking as a misconduct and disgraceful activity to humanity. Often traffickers fascinate villagers with hope to get a good job in the city and have better life. To rein this activity, Koirala conducted several awareness programs and door to door campaigns in villages of Nepal. Additionally, Maiti Nepal started patrolling in the border between India and Nepal, which was the main conduit for trafficking. Her diligent efforts to stop this crime made her winner of CNN Hero Award 2010 with the sum of $100,000 to continue her work and $25,000 as a token of appreciation. She said "Being a CNN HERO doesn't make us proud but reminds us that the problem still exists and we need to join hands to fight it." I respect her work and salute her for her strength. Her words "Society rejects me and my girls, but they are the most important things in my life" always trigger my mind. 

        Today she is renowned as a social activist in the world. Koirala dedicated her life in combating the sexual exploitation of young women and girls. Those rescued girls are fortunate to find shelter at Maiti Nepal, and the girls infected with AIDS can die in dignity in her Hospice. In nutshell, she stopped and rescued many girls from being the victim of trafficking and created heaven on the earth by giving them wonderful place to live. She is the role model to lead change in the world.

Life Would Be Meaningless If We Can Return Back To Past

It is veracious that you cannot modify the past and impossible to return back to manipulate the things as you wanted it to happen because it's gone. If we can retrieve the past, life would be meaningless with no excitements and surprises. 

Nothing in this world is white and transparent, if you expect to be like that, then you will be hurting yourself, which will shadow your potential to explore the real world. Rather, it can be engrossing if you believe every positive and negative part of life and dare to move on. Doubtlessly, a tiny little thing can change your surrounding spectacularly and you can remorse for what you did and said. Sometimes, you may want to go back and remove all its existences. At the same time you will realize things have transformed so much with no possibility to erase it. However, there is nothing thing to self-disgust, that was all because you felt and liked that way at that time. And, it is not essential every feeling will last longer or even if it is there in your heart, its better  to leave behind to be happy in the present and embrace tremendous privileges of the future. 

Learning from your own mistakes without repeating again is substantially crucial. Try to give your best everyday which can help you to grow as a better person in every stage of your life. The only thing that you can turn is your future. Make it marvelous with appropriate plan; it’s all in your hand. Just grab it and don’t let it go from your reach. 

Believe In Yourself To Overcome The Worst Circumstances

This world is indubitably egocentric. So do not hesitate to plan and think about yourself. You can never satisfy other yearning with any bid. If you open your heart and try to please others then also they will rarely be contended. It is better not to grow false hope on your mind by thinking that one day they will be fascinated by your work. More you attempt brings more tears in your eyes. Just be yourself and move on. If you do so, that makes you strong and ultimately you can deal with others. The core is to delight your own zeal which will certainly reflect on your face. After that only, you can tackle with the world and its creatures with a smiling gesture.

Basically, this universe is opportunistic in nature that will leave you blind and behind. After achieving their motives, they will not even look back and say I am here because of you.  Now you have time to think wisely and plan accordingly, so that you do not need to regret in the future. It is almost like a ripen fruits; they will enjoy it until they can eat and throw the seeds. My words may seem bewilder and self- indulgent but it is very reality, which people will realize while they are alone in the darkness and none shows the right way to go. Every people looks appealing from arbitrary like a halo. Before falling in that trap and not considering whatever the situation is, just concentrate on what is your goal in life and go through it. Sometimes it may be overwhelming and you may get lost somewhere with no destination. Nonetheless, do not get panicked, instead explore the way with a broad horizon. No matter if you see darkness everywhere, ensue even if you find a dim light. That will definitely lead you towards your destination.

All the famous figure of earth is renowned because of their achievement in life and their ability to change the human lives. At the beginning, absolutely they did what they thought and aimed that lead them successful to climb the mountain of life. People realized and admired their work only because that is useful to them. Likewise, despite the surroundings and the consequences innovative people invented and succeeded because they did not scramble, but pursue ahead behind their dream without hesitating to perceive any results. In fact,  you are the only one who can convince yourself. Thus, if you are afraid to convince yourself to pursue your dream by accepting the challenges and hindrances of your path, then none ever will know how much potential you hold and what you are. All in all, do not change your identity for what you are in any circumstances, once you give up, you will end up with nothing and there will be just emptiness in life. Maneuver the graceful life beyond the deadlock and negotiate with your prospective of life because at the end of the day your own happiness matters than anything else.

My Analysis of The Human Behavior

Human psychology can be an enormous topic. None really can illustrate enough how really it works. We can see some people are crazy, proud, irritating, egoistic, and with their own hypothesis about their life. While others are cool, funny, pleasing, and with broader concept to handle the track of their life.

Those who tend to look enduring from outside are often very weak inside. To hide their delicacy, they want to demonstrate as if they are brave and powerful. They try to motivate themselves to prevent the upcoming consequences by blaming others as a reason for it. That is just the substitution of angers from one form to another; even it is relaxing for a modest amount of time, this poor motivation subsequently lead them to severe depression and tension headache. Substitution of difficult situation and escaping away from it is not a perfect solution. Instead, it is wise to accept what we are lacking in our life can reveal the real scenario and lead to an alluring environment. Willingness to accept is a good sign of change.

However, those people who appear to be cool and kind looks weaker from outside but in reality they have very strong brain and heart. This always comes from positive attitude towards the life and capability to adjust in any situation. Certainly, it is very hard to find the human with no negative feelings. However, these types of people control their mind with positive thoughts and are strong enough to handle any situation and circumstances. What I noticed is they usually try to postpone the date for those things which they do not like or do not want to do instead of saying no and arguing with it. They always ask for the time to think rather than denying which makes the conditions worse than it is before. Definitely, nobody wants to hear negative answers. Even that thing which has no meaning to me can be a huge thing for others. Eventually, this concept of life not only emphasize to delight others feelings with respect, also it is the best way to keep oneself away from stress and its bad effects.

Nevertheless, the way how people deal with the people cannot determine what they really are. The reason is, everything in this world is marvelous and it is the individual eyes and hand to see and feel it. For instance, when it is raining some people can feel the rain and others just get wet, likewise some sees a half glass of water while others will say a half empty glass. So, it is not important to find person to see all the qualities you have. Although, it is very essential to understand each and every individual has their own potential and may be everyone is not perfect to explore those endurance. In this world, nobody genuinely cares how you really are, they will only admire you according to their need and vein.  

What is life?

 Life is like a mysterious game. Till now, I am unable to figure out what it exactly is? But what I believe is, it is really a miracle and nobody knows what will turn out next. Some time it gives us more than we deserve, whereas at the meantime it demolishes our precious moment with intolerable pain.

It is just the matter of time, it will slew without realizing how smashing it was. In reality, we always kindle to pursue a great life with limitless fascination by scheming for the perfect days to come. However, this is just an obsession of mind which is never going to happen. More you outline more it will get complicated. Despite this also we cannot prevent ourselves from doing so. We are deceiving to our own feelings by not listening for what we want to be. There is nothing divine in this world, instead it just leads us towards disorientation. Profound fact is that we are sacrificing everything from the starting and becoming auxiliary of the circumstances.

Indeed, there is nothing and none to strife for. We are responsible for our own actions and everything depends on our own adjudication for what we wanted to be. Eventually, either that may lead towards revered feeling or may imposed to harrow ordeal. Anyway, we should be privileged for what we have achieved till now, who knows our present intends will be lucrative in future.

Be A Friend Of Your Child, Not An Angry Parent

It is certainly true that rewarding the child is most appropriate way for their encouragement. If a child is learning how to walk on her own and when she falls on her first try, she will look at you for your response. It is absolutely most exciting moment for the parents, so child gets motivated to stand up from the ground to impress their parents. However, if parents discourage for their failure, the child will become discouraged and eventually that will affect badly on the child attitude. In the same way, it will apply to teenagers and adults too.

Whereas, behavior of parents changes as the child grows. They start expecting a lot from their child, which may give more pressure on the child’s psychology. We do not say our child that none is perfect in this world. We never say that’s okay: there is nothing wrong on your capability but you should not give up trying. Every child is different individual with different brain and emotions. It is most essential to give enough time to make everything right. Helping a child for everything may spoil the child and their dependency. If we give a book to a child with tough vocabulary and if we ask them to read, then it can be overwhelming to a child and he/she may loose his/her interest on reading afterwards. Instead, if we provide them a paper with simple words, then they will find it interesting and feel confidence onwards. Not only that, they will also develop the positive feeling toward study by mastering their capability.

In contrast, when a teenager did a mistake in their life that could be disastrous for them. This is not because of results of what they just did, but this is because they are afraid to share with their parents and thinking about their reaction. How can not we accept that they will learn from their own experiences? Definitely, it is our duty to protect the child and prevent them from choosing a wrong track of life. Nonetheless, if they do so then its best to support them by staying on their side and supporting them to give their best on the upcoming days, rather than showing a cruelty and blaming. Because of this habit, child hesitates to share their experiences to their parents and by the time they know it is already too late to stop the consequences.

If we are friendly with the child and stay on their side encouraging for the best, we can anticipate that what is going to happen, so that can suggest them the way to not let this happen. It is always important to maintain their independence, that is the developmental task for every child and if they are not able to meet the needs can results delay in their development. It is not necessary that child can understand right way at the time we suggest. They need time to understand and think about this, so it is better to explain them clearly about both positive and negative scenario of the situation. Let them choose the way and appreciate whatever they choose. If they choose the best way that is marvelous, give some rewards for their good choices. It’s okay if they mislead the path, just remain with them and warn them in between. After doing that also they chose the way which they should not follow, allow them to come back to you instead of scolding for not obeying them. Be with them every time when they need and again help them to stand on their own like they did in childhood. Our job being a parent is just to stay on the side encouraging and supporting them to step up again.

Ø  Use correct spelling and punctuation

Ø  Use parallel structures

Ø  Write variety of sentence types, like: simple, compound, complex and compound-complex sentences

After analyzing all the marking strategies, lets discuss what to include in each paragraph of essay.

Introduction paragraph

   - A background sentence giving some background information on the essay topic.
   - A more detailed sentence linking the background sentence to the thesis.
   -A thesis that presents your point of view on your given topic.

    -A sentence showing a real-life example of this topic in action.
    -A discussion sentence that shows how your example links or proves your topic sentence.

          In this step, it is necessary to understand how to introduce examples. One piece of language to do that is of course “for example”, then there is “for instance” or “an illustration of this is”. But best way to illustrate the example is using “if”, which is an excellent alternative for introducing examples, not least because it typically leads into a more extended example with a greater range of topic vocabulary.

    -A conclusion sentence that links this entire paragraph back to your thesis.

Supporting paragraph 2

    -A topic sentence illustrating the second point you will be presenting to support your thesis (this point taken from your outline sentence).

While describing pie chart, the word percentage may be often repeated. To avoid this chance of repeating we can replace this word by proportion, amount, number, majority, minority etc. It is always better to use word percentage than percent.

Some Memories From Past-Not Perfect But Worth Remembering

My childhood days were very interesting and pleasing. I was a shy little girl who was loved by everyone. My mum and dad, the most amazing and caring parents in this world. I never realized what the struggle was, what it felt not to be loved by parents and relatives. Overall, my childhood was a wonderful and memorable moments of my life.

I still remember that incident when I was in first grade of my school. I had participated in a running competition and my position was last. However, I still wonder and feel so proud that I had participated in that game. Actually, it was a running competition of senior grades students, so called big boy’s competition. While they were collecting the name of participants, I was there and I told them I want to play, they laughed at me and replied politely, this is not your game sweetie and that’s obvious, but again I insisted to participate. At this time, I thought why I can’t play if other can play, that was the first childish thought come to my mind. Finally, although that’s for humor, they decided to include me. Eventually, I made that game very interesting to everybody. The funny thing was, when referee said get set and go, I was about to run and by that time winner was already selected but I was still running to reach the target point. One of my teachers was very surprised by my courage. He came near to me and said “congratulations dear, you are last”. I was very glad; I did not even understand meaning of first or last because he gave me a pencil and copy as a prize, yay! 

Everybody needs an inspiration and a role model to step ahead in life. It is not necessary that we cannot move forward without influencing factors. However, except some extraordinary people, rest of the people need someone in their lifetime to lead in the right way of their destination with invaluable support. While I was in school I had got very wonderful friends and teachers who are responsible for what I am now. Without them, I may get lost somewhere. Hence, I feel so lucky to have such amazing friends and teachers. 

Whereas, sometime having someone around you all the time can make you dependent and can be harmful too. I realized that after I went to the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu for my Bachelor Degree. I was 18, innocent, dependent and a naive. I was from remote village; I never traveled alone in public bus and public places. I exactly did not know what I wanted to be in my life. I had lost many times on the road of Kathmandu; it took me very long time to figure out the direction to go. May be at that time I did not feel the necessity to explore the world because I had already met a very sweet and adorable friend Nirmala as my classmate. She was pretty with long hair and very caring attitude. I have to say she was my best friend that I ever had. Despite of being far from my family, I was not alone there only because of her. I had found someone who can help me every time and for everything. In other words, without even realizing myself, I was totally dependent on her.

Every individual is different person and they have their own pace and style of learning. However, at that time, I just wanted to study how Nirmala used to study and I never cared for the direction to go anywhere unless she was there. I never tried to be myself, instead I always became as she was. She was very intelligent and smart girl, so being like her never led me in reverse direction. We used to enjoy walking together for long distance and loved to talk with each other, at the same time we were serious about our study too. Every person who knew both of us, always used to surprise and some of them used to get jealous of our friendship. We used to be an example of what friends should be alike. But, time is very cruel, that can change everything and even our friendship. Since, one of our friend moved near to her house, she used to come together with her and then we started to walk in the group. That was initial change but a really hard moment for me to adjust. I felt like my best friend is steadily going away from me. That sounds like awkward but I was emotionally being very fragile. After certain time this change that I realized I cannot do anything without her help like, studying, shopping, traveling and even making new friends. In the beginning it was hurting a lot but immediately, one day a thought came in my mind that everything happen for a reason and this is the time to be myself and I have to explore the world on my own. I accepted that as a challenge and as an opportunity to know myself. As a result, I tried to avoid her slowly. Many times she wanted to come closer and asked me, what her fault was. She did not even know why I was avoiding her, since then I had already changed into myself. There was a time we both cried together because of this distance between our friendships. By that time I was strong enough to handle myself and explained to her it was not her mistake and it really wasn’t, instead that helped me to understand my situation. It was all demand of time and I had to pay my best friend for a while as the price of my dependency.

Luckily, we are still same best friend as we were before, besides substantial modification on my dependent attitude. Now, I am real me with my own style, nature and ambition. Now I can go anywhere as I want, even I am in America, without anyone’s help. I am not afraid to talk with anybody and can do anything what I want. This way, I learned a lesson that we do not need to change for anybody to impress and to be a smart enough because you are an original piece which cannot be replaced by anyone else. You can shine your hidden talents as fireworks do in the night with its light. Do not worry if all the doors in front of you are closed, maybe it’s because you could open one and will led you to the perfect road and will show the world why you are worth .
