IT'S A PRESENTATION VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME. THANK YOU. § Sorry, it i s a little long
Of what have we fear?
There are plenty of things to be afraid of. But sometimes we are afraid by things not very dangerous. And sometimes we don’t care of other things that are really dangerous
I ‘m drawing a big square with for little squares inside.
The line on the right is the most dangerous things, the line of the left is the things not dangerous at all.
The line on the top is what we fear
The line which is down is what we don’t fear
I m going to give you a picture and you ‘ll have to put it in the correct square.Then, after we will check together your mistakes ( if there are mistakes)
1) Flying :
The plane is lest dangerous than the car !
With the plan, two peoples die in the word a day.And with the car, one people die in France each hour !
2) Cancer :
Very dangerous ! We especially fear outcomes that are painful and prolonged.
8 millions of people die from cancer each year. But today, for one person one two, the cure is almost total, but for some cancers, the forecast is very bad ( lung, lever). The cancer kill more than the AIDS,tuberculosis and malaria together
3) Big hugs:
Big hugs are very good for the health : they release the “love hormone”, that decreases the anxiety. This hormone is the ocytocine
4) Cell-phone radiation :
People fear cell-phone radiation because it is a relatively new technology the danger of these radiations aren’t proved by any studies.
5) Obesity :
Do you think we control what we eat ? In reality, most people are overweight and getting fatter and it is very bad for their health and it is cutting their life expectancy. Obesity is responsible of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases high blood pressure. And you have to know that the obesity kill 2,8 millions of people each year in the world. Obesity is the fifth risk factor for the health
6) Global warning :
The danger is real and especially for our children and the next generations ; Ecological disturbance which affects the planet will increase very quickly and will make a lot of damages for the animals, the plants and the human being.
7) Teddy bears:
They are harmless and very soft and cuddey…….. But sometimes they may contain little spiders : accarien and it is not good for children they are allergic. It provides asthma crisis. Then, the mother has to take the tedy and put it outside the bedroom and it is a drama for the little child !
8) Smoking :
It is the second cause of death in the word.) Everybody knows that smoking is a very dangerous drug but it is not easy to stop when we are addict ! Smoking causes a lot of cancers.Luckily, the law has changed in the public places and now it isn’t allow to smoke in the restaurant, in the schools, in the public transportation…; But in the past, eveybody may smoke averywhere even in the hospital!
9) Nuclear war :
We are afraid by the nuclear power because some nuclear accidents are in our memories : Tchernobyll , and more recent Fukushima.
But we don’t worry much about nuclear war, even though the list of nuclear states is growing. With the stock of bombs , you could destroy the whole humanity! The media doesn’t often speak about the danger of the nuclear and then we don’t easily imagine or fear a A- Bomb, a new Hiroshima !
10) Heart disease
According to the WHO, it is the first cause of death. Heart diseases kill 57 millions of people in a year ! But we aren’t really afraid of heart disease because It does not cause a long and painful disease with heavy treatments as the cancer
