East and Central Europe – the best hope for the future of Europe?

In this paper I want to express my opinion about George Weigel point of view that Central and East Europe is the best hope for the future of Europe.

In one point of view I have to agree with G. Weigel, that “history is driven, over the long haul, by culture – by what men and women honor, cherish, an

Easter is of course an important event in European countries and in America. It simbol

ECOLOGICAL PROBLEMS

The subject of this report is ecological problems. In my opinion this theme should be important for every person because every day and every minute we meet these global problems.

Today I would like to talk on some of the aspects of Ecology. Nowadays the level of technology has become very advanced and it is still growing. Generally, people want to make their lives easier and more comfortable. Their needs are increasing in terms of living places, food, cars, and others.

Ecology is derived from oikos (Greek) meaning ‘household’, and logos meaning ‘study’.

When a country undertakes the challenge of economic growth, it does it for a number of reasons, but possibly the most important of these is to satisfy its populace. After the Second World War, South Korea wanted to grow economically in order to escape their medieval agrarian lifestyles and to experience all of the trappings of consumerism.

But instead what South Korea and many other dev

Lithuania is a young country and as every young nation state it has its own plights and predicaments, such as economical circumstances, psychological conditions and sociological pressure from all kinds of laws & regulations. But some of them are really very tricky to handle and even with the proper help of the other countries (even such as Russia, USA, Germany) it is usually always a false

Russia

Difficulties in implementing fiscal reforms aimed at raising government revenues and a dependence on short-term borrowing to finance budget deficits led to a serious financial crisis in 1998. Lower prices for Russia’s major export earners (oil and minerals) a
