The world is turning to be gray and that means that most people in the world are becoming older than 65 years old. And because of that people who are affected by that will face many effects such as the money shortage, the less number of people who are working, and so many things. The graying of the world is caused by many things and it has many effects.
First, in the U.S. many people who are Baby Boomers generation are becoming older than 65 which will make the government pay for the a retirment salary which depends on the person's old salary and the hours that he worked in it. As result of that the government should pay more money because the number of people who are older than 65 is increasing. And also because of that baby boomers didn't have many children, the government should pay more from less people to support many older people. That will leave the government between two choices. One is to rise the taxes from 15 to 25%. Or they will cancel the taxes to makes the youth support their owen parents.
Second, in the Muslim countries of the Middle East won't be affecting by aging.
That reason for that is the Muslim families have many children and those many children will have many children, so the aging or the grey color will not come near these countries. For example, every family in the middle east have at least 3 children and those children will support there parents in addition to the government support because of the Islam values that they have.
Third, aging or the gray color that is atacing our world is causing many things on our world. As a result of many people are becoming older than 65 less number of people will pay the taxes. And because of that as I said in U.S. the government will riese the taxes. And also as a result for that the prices will be expensive and families wouldn't have the number of children they can support. And it will be 1-2-4 , and that means one child will support 2 parents and 4 grandparents.
In conclusion, the world is facing a big problem and unless the governments solve that problem it will be bigger and bigger until they won't be able to solve it. In spite of that, countries like Muslim Middle east countries won't face this problem. In short, the gray color is attacting the worlds countries and affacting them in many ways.

Veterans vs Baby Boomers
Generation members have varying perspectives on life, sometimes common and sometimes uncommon. And of course we can notice these differences and similarities. For the Traditionalists, or Veterans, versus the Baby Boomers, they are distinguished by the kind of family that they came from, their education, the wars they were shaped by, and their general lifestyles.
The Veterans are the same as the Baby Boomers in that they both came from the same kind of families, but they both had different levels or different looks on education.The members or people who were born in those two generations were born in traditionalist families.That means the both generations were born in a family where the father had to go to work and the mother had to stay at home to take care of the children (them). But they had different levels or looks for education. The Veterans had got not norm education and that means that they have been taught the basics, but the rich people at that time had a normal education. Even though some of them went to the University. On the other hand Baby Boomers considered the education right as the birth right. And that means the education is very important to them. That's because if they didn't get a good education they wouldn't get a good job. In brief, the Veterans and baby boomers came from a traditionalist families, while each one of them had different looks or levels of or for the education.
The Veterans and Baby Boomers were born during or shaped by a war, while both of the cohorts had different characteristics. Those both generations were shaped by a war. For the Veterans,they were shaped by World War II ;however, Baby Boomers were born during or shaped by the Vietnam War. In spite of that the members of those two generations had different characteristics. For the Veterans they characterized by pride, loyalty, and had a respect for the authority. Also they are not typical happy with the modern changes. Different from Veterans baby boomers are extreme optimistic and confident that they can get things done. In addition to that they are used to get their way in any thing. In spite of that the members of those two generations were shaped by a war each, each generation of them has different characteristics.
In addition to all of that they are different in leadership style, interactive style, and the balance between work and family life. In leadership style the veterans are directive and command in giving orders. For example, the Veterans just give orders and the do not take anyone's opinion. But the Baby Boomers are consensual in that they take the other's opinion before doing any thing. In the interactive style, the veterans are formal,while Baby Boomers interactive style is working in groups. The last thing is the balance between work and family life.For the Veterans the work is more important than family life,but Baby Boomers work to live. In short, they are different in the leadership style and interactive style, and the balance between work and family life.
In conclusion, there are some similarities in some ways between the Veterans and baby boomers ,although they had so many differences in many things. they are similar in the kind of family that they came from and they both were shaped by a war. On the other hand they are different in many things like their looks for education or the level of education that they had, their characteristics, leadership style ,interactive style, and balance between work and family life. In short, these differences and similarities are so easy to be noticed by anyone between those two generations.

Are Genetically Modified (GM) Foods Good or Bad For People?
GM foods or crops have people who are with it and people who are against it. It solves some problems, but it has bad effects on people. GM crops or foods are good in some way for many people, but are also bad in the other way, so people who are against it have good reasons to be against it and people who are with it have some logical reasons.
People who are against producing the GM crops know how bad are the effects that the GM crops have. First, it is live organisms, so it has bad effect on human bodies. And if we (people) allow to the producers to release these products it will be impossible to recall it (GM crops) if it harms people. Second, people who live next to the GM corn fields had health problems in their skin, lungs, and many people died. That happened because of the "Bacillus Thuringiensis,"which it is a bacteria that scientists found it in the soil,and it has resistance to the insects. Third, the European environmentalists are worried because the say"it is possible that this kind of food will have bad effect to the environment and the people who live in it." Not just these reasons,but there are more and more.
People who are with producing the GM crops are many and they have reasonable reasons to be in this side. First, as Ingo Potrykus said "it is a way to improve health of poor people in the world." And he said that because the GM crops has or contains vitamin A, Iron, and Calories. Second, it can grow in the nonfertile areas, and produce a large amount of harvests. Third, It will save many children (more than 1 million a year) from starvation in 3rd world countries. And that's why Jimmy Carter who is a former U.S. president said "GM crops is a way to fight the world starvation." In addition, Monsant who is a GM food producer said they "makes and sells GM crops for profit."
In conclusion, GM crops have people who are standing with it and who are standing against it. And there are good, and logical reasons for both of them, but for me I think that if something has bad effects, especially on people, I'll be against it in spite of it's good results. And if the governments continue to produce this kind of food, after 10 years or less we will face big health problems in both the 3rd world countries and the all other countries.
