Nanotechnology
I think nanotechnology can change human life. Indeed, it potential is awesome. It can revolutionize every sphere of society. For example, it could cure diseases like cancer or Aids, it could give us the opportunity to live longer, and it could change transport and communication. Internet revolutionizes our lives on a large scale. The potential of nanotechnology is even better. I've done a research on the carbon nanotubes for school. This new kind of composite is lighter then Titanium, more resistant then Iron and conduct electricity very well. That's just an example of the potential of this new technology. The other side of the medal is that this progress could be dangerous because we are not master of this new technology yet. Because it's a quite new technology, we don't know the side effects of it yet. That’s why I think nanotechnology can change our lives but we have do use that new technology efficiently.

Globalization
Corporations take up a lot of space in society. They are sometimes richer than some countries . They are the fuel of the world economy. So are these massive companies taking too much space in society? I think they do. They have more power than the government. For example, a lot of big companies finance the campaigns of United States presidents (car companies, fuel companies etc). When you finance a president, it's easy to make him change his mind on a lot of subjects like the environment and social issues like minimum wages etc. Corporations are too connected with the government. George W Bush was a really good friend of the former Enron president: ''Kenneth Lay'' Bush used to call him: ''Kenny Boy''. In some countries, the government is corrupted by corporations so that these corporations tell the politicians, in the international language that is money, exactly what to do. To conclude, corporations should, I think, stop taking that much place because they are acting against democraty.

The death of the first Catholic American president shocked a lot of people. John F Kennedy died on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas at 12:30 p.m. He was shot dead, supposedly, by Lee Harvey Oswald. There are several facts proving that Lee Harvey Oswald wasn’t the shooter or the only shooter. One of the main reasons is that he was killed,before he could be brought to trial, by Jack Ruby. A lot of people think that L.H.Oswald knew too much and he was about to tell the truth about JFK's death.Second of all, a lot of military experts have said that it wasn’t possible that the injuries on Kennedy were done by only one shooter.Most of the witnesses don’t agree where the bullets came from. As another fact, an ex CIA agent wrote a book,just after his death, that stated that president Jonhson orchestrated a conspiracy against JFK,with some CIA agents that were angry because of the past actions of president Kennedy. To conclude, JFK’s death, for most Americans(70% think that it’s a conspiracy), is still an unsolved mystery.
