Should abortion be legal? This topic has been debated for decades, but it is still strongly
discussed recently. Many women have tried to abort the fetus or unborn baby because they think
that it is not the time for them to be mothers. Similarly, they are too young to have babies. To
deal with this problem, they have to abort the unborn babies. I have always supported the life of
the unborn. Although I am personally against abortion, there are others who do not agree with
me. However, I gradually realized that legal abortions are absolutely important for women. I do
agree that abortion should be legal because it provides a lot of advantages to women. There are
Firstly, laws against abortion kill women. Actually, to prohibit abortions cannot stop them. When
women feel it is important for them, they will choose to have abortions. No one can stop them,
and they will do everything even in secret, without medical care and in dangerous circumstances.
In the twenty years before abortion was legal in the United States, it has been estimated that
nearly a million women per year sought out illegal abortions. Thousands died, and tens of
thousands were mutilated. Additionally, legal abortions protect women’s health. Legal abortion
not only protects women’s lives, but it also protects their health. For tens of thousands of women
for her to be a good mother because she is too young. Another point is that she does not want to
have an unwanted baby. If a woman is raped, she sometimes becomes pregnant. She does not
want to see that baby. With this situation, shouldn’t she have the right to abort the fetus? If I am
in her situation, I will choose to abort the child that I do not want. In addition, some women will
look at the child and only remember the pain that they experienced. Therefore, they should be
allowed to abort the fetus in cases like that. Moreover, it is better for women to abort their child
because it is very important to them. If they do not abort their children, they will die. Having the
baby kill both of them, but having abortions can help the mother’s life.
Thirdly, having a lot of children can lead to over population and poverty. For the time being,
there are millions of people who are living in the world. Hence, legal abortion is really
interesting for people who want to live in a healthy life. Because of over population, there are a
lot of problems that effect the world. It leads to pollution which is the major thing that causes
global warming. Furthermore, it seems difficult for people to live together. Another point is that
legal abortions can control poverty. To have a lot of children is very difficult for parents. They
have to earn money in order to support their children. Some parents have to commit a crime
though it is against the law, but because of their children they to do it. The society will be chaos.
Though they try to do everything for money; still, it is not enough. As a result they will live in a
terrible situation. Therefore, abortion should be legal, and poverty will be decreased.
However, some people say that legal abortions kill babies. They say that millions of babies are
killed every year because of abortions. Others also say that it is against Buddhism. In Cambodia,
most of the people are Buddhism; therefore, they think that killing a living thing is considered as
sin. It means abortion kills baby; and mother will get sin if she aborts her child. These ideas are
acceptable and interesting. Besides this, mother will either live in a terrible condition or die
because of abortion. But when there is a legal law for abortion, mother will be safe with the
taking care from experience doctors or nurses. Meanwhile, legal abortion does not mean to force
women to abort their children; in contrast, it helps women how to understand the method to take
care of their health and lives. I still strongly support legal abortion because if there is no legal
abortion, women can also try to abort the fetus and there are no experts who can help them.
Consequently, they will be more dangerous than there is no law for legal abortion. They do it
illegally and without any experience; therefore, there are a lot of lives that will die. Legal
abortion is not only important for women, but it is also important for the society and the world
In conclusion, abortion should be legal because of many reasons. Mothers will be safe, and are
happy to abort the child that they do not want to see. Many countries can reduce poverty and also
are able to control over population. It is the ideal method that can help women, and countries all
over the world. I am able to really determine that I agree with legal, but I know that abortion
should not be legal in some cases. In order to make it more details how legal abortion important
is, the government should tell mothers about the advantages of legal abortion and try to promote
Every day, millions of people view or download software, multimedia or documents from
the internet. Downloading documents from internet is very useful for everyone. That is why
many people consider internet is the best place that they can download everything. They always
spend time sitting in front of the internet and download everything they need. Moreover, they do
not only view the files by themselves, but they also share the documents to their friends or
relatives. The idea of sharing things to each other is really good. Therefore, downloading or
sharing copyrighted material from the internet should be legal because it provides lots of
advantages to people.
First, it saves time. Some people are very busy with their work or studies. They do not have
enough time to download the documents as quickly as they need. As we know, downloading
from some websites is very difficult because they are famous. Hence, people have to spend long
time waiting for the documents that they need. However, if our friends or relatives can download
and they can share us, so it is very easy and we spend only a short time copying the documents.
Moreover, some students are really busy with their studies. They have a lot of homework and
assignments to do, as well as they do not have time to go to libraries or internet coffee shops.
Second, downloading and sharing the material to each other is saving money. We just spend
money only one time to download things from the internet, and then we can share the documents
to friends and relatives freely. Buying the original books is costly. If we do not have enough
money, we find it hard to discover good resources to read. But if we can share the materials from
the internet, it would be easier for us save up our money. Nowadays, students who are studying
at university have to do a lot of research. The best resource is in the internet, but some resources
are required to pay money. What happens if the students do not have enough money to pay? It
will be difficult for them to conduct research and do a good assignment. If their friends can share
them some resources, they will be able to do good assignments. As a result, they will get good
Third, people have chance to transfer information and sources easily if they have the right to
download or share the files legally. As far as I have known, internet is the place where fulfills of
good information and resources. It is very easy for them to get new information which happens
around the world. For instance, my lecturer always forward news, documents and files that
related to my study and world news as well. If it is illegal to share documents to each other, my
lecturer will not send any sources to me, and I will not get any new information that has
happened all over the world. Another important point is that he wants to improve my listening
skills because I am studying faculty of English. I have to improve my English, but I do not have
any sources to help. Due to lack of resources, my teacher decided to share his listening practice
book with CD to me. It is the last updated one because he just downloaded it from the internet.
Additionally, this book is not available in the book shop in Cambodia. Therefore, if sharing is
illegal, I will never have a chance to use such of that fabulous book.
On the other hand, the owners of the products or sources will be not happy because they lose
their benefit. They spend time on creating their sources because they hope they can earn money
to support themselves and also their family. What is the problem if they do not get money on
what they create? They will stop create new things and there are no writers, authors, or inventors
anymore because they do not want to spend time and energy getting nothing. This is really true
that they will be devastated. However, they will be well known to other people all the around the
world. Though they do not get money, at least they get fame. Fame is very important for
everyone. One question has been asked why do writers, authors or inventors try to create new
things? Because they want to gain fame, fame is more valuable than money. Totally, the more
we use their materials the more they get successful in their careers. They will be absolutely
delighted to see people using their resources and share to the other people.
Last but not least, it is a good idea to share things to each other. We are living on the same earth,
so please do not be selfish to give something to someone else. Legal downloading and sharing
materials from the internet is utterly important for us to save time and money, and it is
completely useful to share resources from friends to friends or from teachers to students.
Anyway, we should not think only our advantages, but we also have to think of other people. We
should download the websites that allow us to download free but do not hack the websites that
requires money. They also want to make their living by selling the materials that they have
uploaded to the internet. They share us, and we have to help them back.
There were many famous people in the world that could bring their countries into peaceful lives.
Gandhi was one of the most famous figures who could lead India out of Britain’s colonization
and live peacefully until now. Gandhi travelled to many countries in order to find peace and he
also made a non-violent movement against Britain. There were several biographers who
undertaken the task of describing Gandhi’s life and his influence to the country, as well as the
world.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, known as Mahatma Gandhi, was born in Porbandar, a coastal
town in present-day Gujarat, India, on 2 October 1869. His father, Karamchand Gandhi (1822-
1885), who belonged to the Hindu Modh community, was the diwan (Prime Minister) of the
eponymous Porbander state, a small princely state in the Kathiawar Agency of British India. His
grandfather's name was Uttamchand Gandhi fondly called as Utta Gandhi. His mother, Putlibai,
who came from the Hindu Pranami Vaishnava community, was Karamchand's fourth wife, the
first three wives having apparently died in childbirth. Growing up with a devout mother and the
Jain traditions of the region, the young Mohandas absorbed early the influences that would play
an important role in his adult life; these included compassion to sentient beings, vegetarianism,
fasting for self-purification, and mutual tolerance between individuals of different creeds.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was the pre-eminent
political and spiritual leader of India during the Indian independence movement. He was the
upon ahimsa or total non-violence—which led India to independence and has inspired
movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. He is officially honoured in India as
the Father of the Nation; his birthday, 2 October, is commemorated there as Gandhi Jayanti, a
Gandhi first employed non-violent civil disobedience while an expatriate lawyer in South Africa,
during the resident Indian community's struggle for civil rights. After his return to India in 1915,
he organized protests by peasants, farmers, and urban labourers concerning excessive land-tax
and discrimination. After assuming leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921, Gandhi
led nationwide campaigns to ease poverty, expand women's rights, build religious and ethnic
amity, end untouchability, and increase economic self-reliance. Above all, he aimed to achieve
Swaraj or the independence of India from foreign domination. Gandhi famously led his followers
in the Non-cooperation movement that protested the campaigned against the British to Quit
India. Gandhi spent a number of years in jail in both South Africa and India.
In 1915, Gandhi returned from South Africa to live in India. He spoke at the conventions of the
Indian National Congress, but was primarily introduced to Indian issues, politics and the Indian
people by Gopal Krishna Gokhale, a respected leader of the Congress Party at the time. Gandhi's
first major achievements came in 1918 with the Champaran agitation and Kheda Satyagraha,
although in the latter it was indigo and other cash crops instead of the food crops necessary for
their survival. Suppressed by the militias of the landlords (mostly British), they were given
measly compensation, leaving them mired in extreme poverty. The villages were kept extremely
dirty and unhygienic; and alcoholism, untouchability and purdah were rampant. Now in the
throes of a devastating famine, the British levied a tax which they insisted on increasing. The
situation was desperate. In Kheda in Gujarat, the problem was the same. Gandhi established an
ashram there, organizing scores of his veteran supporters and fresh volunteers from the region.
He organized a detailed study and survey of the villages, accounting for the atrocities and terrible
episodes of suffering, including the general state of degenerate living. Building on the
confidence of villagers, he began leading the clean-up of villages, building of schools and
hospitals and encouraging the village leadership to undo and condemn many social evils, as
accounted above.
But his main impact came when he was arrested by police on the charge of creating unrest and
was ordered to leave the province. Hundreds of thousands of people protested and rallied outside
the jail, police stations and courts demanding his release, which the court reluctantly granted.
Gandhi led organized protests and strikes against the landlords who, with the guidance of the
British government, signed an agreement granting the poor farmers of the region more
compensation and control over farming, and cancellation of revenue hikes and its collection until
the famine ended. It was during this agitation, that Gandhi was addressed by the people as Bapu
(Father) and Mahatma (Great Soul). In Kheda, Sardar Patel represented the farmers in
negotiations with the British, who suspended revenue collection and released all the prisoners.
As a result, Gandhi's fame spread all over the nation. He is also now called as "Father of the
nation" in Indian.
Gandhi influenced important leaders and political movements. Leaders of the civil rights
movement in the United States, including Martin Luther King and James Lawson, drew from the
writings of Gandhi in the development of their own theories about non-violence. Anti-apartheid
activist and former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, was inspired by Gandhi. Others
include Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, Steve Biko, Aung San Suu Kyi and Philippine opposition
Gandhi's life and teachings inspired many who specifically referred to Gandhi as their mentor or
who dedicated their lives to spreading Gandhi's ideas. In Europe, Romain Rolland was the first to
discuss Gandhi in his 1924 book Mahatma Gandhi, and Brazilian anarchist and feminist Maria
Lacerda de Moura wrote about Gandhi in her work on pacifism. In 1931, notable European
physicist Albert Einstein exchanged written letters with Gandhi, and called him "a role model for
the generations to come" in a later writing about him. Lanza del Vasto went to India in 1936
intending to live with Gandhi; he later returned to Europe to spread Gandhi's philosophy and
founded the Community of the Ark in 1948 (modeled after Gandhi's ashrams). Madeleine Slade
(known as "Mirabehn") was the daughter of a British admiral who spent much of her adult life in
In addition, the British musician John Lennon referred to Gandhi when discussing his views on
non-violence. At the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival in 2007, former U.S. Vice-
President and environmentalist Al Gore spoke of Gandhi's influence on him. Finally, prior to
becoming President of the United States, then-Senator Barack Obama noted that:
he embodies the kind of transformational change that can be made when ordinary people
come together to do extraordinary things. That is why his portrait hangs in my Senate
office: to remind me that real results will come not just from Washington – they will
Obama at the Wakefield High School speech in Sept 2009, said that his biggest inspiration came
from Mahatma Gandhi. It was when a question posed on him as 'who was the one person, dead
or alive, that he would choose to dine with?' and his quick reply was 'Gandhi!'. He continued and
said that - "He's somebody I find a lot of inspiration in. He inspired Dr. King with his message of
nonviolence. He ended up doing so much and changed the world just by the power of his ethics".
His non-violent movement has been well known to the world. He is the non-violent leader that
everyone always reminds of him. He was the man who dared to do everything for his country
and also the world to live peacefully. His non-violent theory is perfectly excellent, and many
political leaders in the world take his idea to practice in order to lead their countries into a
peaceful life. I admire him the most, and I hope all the countries around the world will take his
