cacophony and marine life

     I lately read an article called "Cacophony of human noise is hurting all marine life, scientists warn" by Damian Carrington. The text spoke of how the sound that humans produce affects living in the oceans and seas.

    It follows from the article that marine transport and exploration can influence the ability to use sound by animals. It is sad because species that live underwater can hear from a long distance and their hearing is essential for them to lead life. Because of human activity animals, can't communicate, collect their nourishment or reproduce. Humans contributed to the acidification of the water which further aggravates the matter. I feel sorry for those poor animals that can't lead their normal life anymore. Those born in these conditions are also in an awful situation because all that they know their entire life is a cage made of sound. Fortunately, because of coronavirus, this whole situation got better.  The amount of sound decreased and animals can function without any obstacles. I just hope that governments will pay attention to this problem and won't let the sound increase again.

    This is definitely an interesting piece of news.
    In the future though:
    1. separate the report part (1/3 of the text at most) from your comment (where you explain why this info is interesting/surprising/etc. and/or express your own opinion) - in the post above both paragraphs seem to be devoted to reporting the article and just one sentence describes your reaction
    2. remember to post the link to the article

 The article which I read today was written by Peter Rutland. This text is about a significant change in the everyday life of ordinary Russians caused by sanctions. While I understand that all of those limits imposed on Russia are meant to end the war as fast as possible I keep thinking about a common person from Russia facing them. It is obvious that if the country’s economy collapses standard of living there also changes dramatically. Prices are soaring and everyday life isn’t getting harder for individuals but also for all kinds of businesses. I feel pity for those people, mainly because I would be scared if I were in their position. But we have to remember the purpose of sanctions.  Although Russia’s citizens didn’t really hurt anyone they have to feel a change to start protesting and putting pressure on authorities to stop military operations. I think that over time more and more Russians will protest and will demand to hold the government accountable.  Also in com...

evolution

                  The artic le which I have just read was written by Nicholas R. Longrich and is an answer for reader’s question about humans future.                 The author of this text presents his speculations about our future evolution. I can fully agree that our life expectancy will expand through the time. As we invent more medications and cure more diseases we can expect to live longer. Although the assumption of people getting taller surprised me, I understand that given our rising length of life we will grow higher. The author’s speculations related not only to our physical appearance but also our intelligence and personality. The possibility of evolving to the point where we will have less psychological problems really makes me hopeful for a better future . Mental health is often forgotten in our everyday life. The vision of people being  “immune” t...

John Keats's poems of death and los youth

  Recently I read an article titled "John Keats: how his poems of death and lost youth are resonating during COVID-19" by Richard Marggraf-Turley. The text was mainly about the life and works of this artist, but a lot can be concluded from it. Keats, practically all his life, was a witness of death, mental illnesses, and suffering. He reflected it in his works. And even after 200 years, they are more current than ever. Everybody can now experience emotions about which John Keats wrote. In times of pandemic, especially people my age, are losing their youth and time to experience new things. Quarantine also isn't a stranger to us and the poet.  I think that we can agree with Keats that it is affecting us in a bad way. We, as he said in his letters, are feeling depressed. I think that the author of the article captured and translated to pandemic times poems of Keats. https://theconversation.com/john-keats-how-his-poems-of-death-and-lost-youth-are-resonating-during-covid-...
