indeed oceanic/water pollution is becoming worse and worse every day. the local people, the business people and the government/authorities all are at fault. The local people contribute to the littering of the oceans and the do not report when they see other people doing it. Only when they or they loved ones are directly or immediately affected then will they begin to call in to news stations to make a report. Business people take the oceans for their waste basket dumping oil, garbage and any and everything in the waters. The government though they may implement laws or policies for the protection of the ocean they fail to enforce these laws or policies. Thus the perpetrators continue with their actions of destruction.

As long as you give attribution to the source, there is nothing wrong with it.

I usually do that also, citing some date or statistics but I state the source or cite the persons who said it. It is not plagiarism, like what you said in your post; it is merely giving credit where credit is due. It is not owning what other people had said,or what other people had studied or researched.

Informative article to any newcomer or even someone who has been around for a few months. It is better to write fictional work or details which cover some subject which only we know and no one else would know. But it impedes the number of choices which are available to a writer. I saw your article of Rio Olympics and also the comments as to what was written. I found the article based on facts.

Hence I appreciated the article. That is how an article should be if it is a subject like that if it uses data from source hence forth I will make it a point to quote the source so that my article will not be called plagiarized by the checker. For someone new this article is informative provided they read and know what happens when facts are given. I am thinking as to tackle this issue. One I wrote an article in the forum. Two I am responding to this article by you. I am checking what other options are there for writers safety. Thanks for the share.

Swimming is my sports. I am a deep sea swimmer since high school. We live near many beaches and deep sea.

An advantage that both individual and team sports share is that it helps in bringing people of different backgrounds together to interact. This is seen in the attendance in the stadiums and different arenas.

Politics apart any country has a responsibility towards the good health and the welfare of its citizens. It is the responsibility of the government of the day to see that they do not damage what structure is already there. It is better if they try to improve the system which exists. That should be the ideal goal of all politicians or parties around the world. If the people of the country are not in good health it affects the economy of the country directly and causes economic loses for the country as the country will not have good quality human resource which is healthy.

Keeping this in view it is always better to have countries which provide a strong social welfare for its people. As government is of the people, for the people and by the people. This should be arrived at irrespective of the costs involved. As if people are unwell it will reflect badly on the image of the country and if it is told that if you do not have insurance you die in a country. It reflects very adversely on the image of the country too. Happy to see that a good caring scheme for the people continues.

nasa is not losing any credibility, i guess they are great at their area, and i would not trust any thing else in that area but them, many agrees with me, i also know that they are human so mistake is expected but not to be big or many, thakns for the post and the view point you expressed

So what’s their explanation on the fluttering of the flag? And why would NASA tell lies? They would surely lose credibility if they do so.

NASA has to be rational and objective and not selective when it comes to doing their job. Whether NASA tells or not or believes or not I am not concerned. Many Indians like me believe in the Rama Sethu. Indians have to come with superior technology as this is a good opportunity for them to further establish their credibility and unravel things which were thought to not exist by other people. If they specialize in this they will get more such projects from countries who would want to know about their history.

The launch or 104 satellites in one shot and the launch of Mangalyan or Mission to Mars only at a fraction of the costs which developed countries spend is an achievement in itself. The ancient city of Dwaraka where God Shri Krishna lived and which is under the ocean was also discovered by the scientists in India. There is no limit in what we can do if we really set out achieve the same. Agencies like NASA or other such agencies should not play around with people of the world, their sentiments and the history. Professionalism is expected from such agencies which have a high reputation. If they play around with their reputation it will be at their on peril.

NASA is an unreliable source? That’s news to me! (O.o)
