Israeli authorities are trying to find the ship that is responsible for an oil spill in its Meditteranean shoreline. Specialists said that this is a huge blow to the environment and it can the years to clean it up. Last week a 55 foot-long whale was found thrown out on a beach. An autopsy had found oil-based material in the whale's body. It was called a big disaster, especially that it affected not only the environment but also millions of living creatures in the sea and on the shore. Luckily, thousands of volunteers gathered to help with cleaning the beach from oil, also Israel's military forces offered help with cleaning. Israel is looking for a ship responsible for this disaster with help of satellite images and modeling of wave movements. Israel environmental protection minister said that there were nine ships in that area at the time they are looking at and it is a big chance that the specific ship would be found.

In my opinion, the ship responsible for the disaster and the company behind it should have immediately admitted to this action and try to pay for cleaning oil contamination. Also, all of the ships that are carrying dangerous for the environment cargo should have very specific and strict security features. It is unacceptable that such situations take place and the culprits are not found yet. Moreover, while planning routes for ships with such cargo people should take routes as far from the shore as possible. It would not be a perfect solution for a such situation like this in Israel, but it would decrease damages made for the shore and animals living there.

There are a lot of mediums through that alcohol brands can advertise their products and suggest drinking behaviors to potential consumers. Alcohol in music: In recent years there has been rising concern about a subject involving drugs and alcohol in music. A study from Northwestern University found that 22.4% of songs on the Billboard’s Hot 100 list mentioned alcohol. Themes of alcohol use were most apparent in hip-hop, country pop, and R&B music. I think that in Poland's music, popular amongst teens it could be over 50%. What is more thrilling alcoholic themes are overwhelmingly presented in a positive light.  People learn behaviors from personal experiences and from things that they are exposed to in popular media.

Syrian authorities said that they have begun rationing fuel as a result of the blockage of the Suez canal, delaying crucial shipments and worsening the country's oil shortages. Syria is suffering from civil war since 2011 and faces a serious economic crisis. It already announced a more than 50% rise in the price of petrol. Minister said that they are rationing distribution of the available oil to ensure that essential services such as bakeries and hospitals will function continuously. Global supply chain has been injured since the giant container ship Ever Given wedged in the canal and blocked one of the most popular trade routes in the world. The situation with Ever Given container ship is a tragedy on a world scale. It is causing tens of millions losses per hour and cuts of access to oil to many countries. The poorest of them, especially those in conflict, like Syria could have serious problems in proper functioning. Even though current trials on removing the container didn't...

Is lying morally wrong?

In my opinion lying is not morally wrong when you don't cross some boundaries. For example white lies are harmless, because the are generally told to avoid hurting someone's feelings and creating some useless conflicts. But of course they are  lies that cannot be forgiven and are morally wrong. An example of such lies are those that can significantly change some situation for example in relationship. Lying in relationship is wrong becuse when you lie you change the way how people see you and you are trying to be someone that you are not. To sum up, lying is not wrong when it's a white lie or when it don't affect some important situations, but lying about yourself in relationships is wrong and for a longer period of time it will only cause harm.
