TOPIC

Drugs are chemical substances that are taken for a specific

effect. In the case of illegal drugs (also known as

recreational drugs), such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin or

ecstasy, the effect is to alter the functioning of the brain to

provide sensations that are experienced as pleasurable.

What is drug?

There are many reasons why people try drugs. A few of the common reasons

are listed below: • It’s a way to fit in and be social • It’s a way to relax • It’s a

way to escape • They are easy to obtain and appear harmless • Everyone

seems to be doing it • It’s a way to take some risk or be a rebel • It’s a way to

feel good • They decrease inhibitions • They believe it helps them cope with

stress, personal problems or family problems

Why people try drugs?

Misusers become preoccupied with the drug and think frequently about

when they will use again. Parties, and other social events, are often

chosen for whether or not the drug of choice will be present. There is

some level of discomfort if the drug is not available, and another drug,

often alcohol, may be substituted. Other indicators of misuse include: •

high levels of conflict with close friends • family or friends are

concerned about the person’s use of drugs • patterns of isolation,

including breaking relationships with those who do not use • irritability,

restlessness or discontentment • unpredictable mood swings • legal

problems • financial problems, including growing debt • job- or school-

related problems, including chronic absenteeism or lateness

Drinking Water Problems

Introduction

Water is essential to human existence. Access to water supply is a basic

human right and necessary to ensure a healthy population. Provision of

safe water supply and sanitation directly serves the objectives of public

health by curtailing the spread of vector diseases. The poor are particularly

vulnerable when water is either unclean or in short supply. The urban poor

spend large part of their income on water from private vendors. In rural

areas, fetching water for cooking and drinking, mostly by women,

involves lot of time and distance. Insufficient attention to wastewater

treatment and disposal is causing severe environmental problems.

Effects

The second most important risk factor for poor health is

lack of clean water and poor sanitation and it has major

health impacts. There are many ways by which

Pathogens infect individuals through water causing: water-based diseases,

water-washed diseases, water- borne diseases, water-dispersed infections,

and water- related vector-borne diseases. Infectious diseases include water

born and water washed diseases, cholera, ameobiosis, shigellosis,

salmonelloses are all infectious diseases.

Transport system

Introduction

• Transport or transportation is the movement of people,

animals and goods from one location to another. Modes of

transport include air, rail, road,

water, cable, pipeline and space. The field can be divided

into infrastructure, vehicles and operations. Transport is

important because it enables trade between people, which is

essential for the development of civilizations.

Transport system

To travel nationwide, most of the citizens prefer railway trains, but from the last few years, there is a drastic drop in the performance of railway trains. In the developed countries, people prefer to travel through trains even they can afford to commute through their own transport, because it is quite comfortable and convenient way of travelling. Road planning should be revised and more highway plans should be implemented. But with all the facilities of transportation, there should be a bicycle or walk day weekly to motivate people to stay active and use good means of transportation.
