Sharks have gained an unfair reputation for being fierce predators of large seaanimals Humanity's unfounded fear and hatred of these ancient creatures is leading to aworldwide slaughter that may result in the extinction of many coastal shark species

The shark is the victim of a warped attitude of wildlife protection; we strive only to

protect the beautiful, non-threatening parts of our environment And, in our efforts to

restore only non-threatening parts of our earth, we ignore other important parts.

A perfect illustration of this attitude is the contrasting attitude toward anotherlarge sea animal, the dolphin During the 1980s, environmentalists in the United Statesprotested the use of driftnets for tuna fishing in the Pacific Ocean since these nets also

caught dolphins The environmentalists generated enough political and economic

pressure to prevent tuna companies from buying tuna that had been caught in driftnets

In contrast to this effort on behalf of the dolphins, these same environmentalists havedone very little to help save the Pacific Ocean sharks whose population has decreasednearly to the point of extinction Sharks are among the oldest creatures on earth, havingsurvived in the seas for more than 350 million years They are extremely efficientanimals, feeding on wounded or dying animals, thus performing an important role in

nature of weeding out the weaker animals in a species Just the fact that species such as the Great White Shark have managed to live in the oceans for so many millions of years is enough proof of their efficiency and adaptability to changing environments It

is time for us humans, who may not survive another 1,000 years at the rate we are

damaging the planet, to cast away our fears and begin considering the protection of

sharks as an important part of a program for protection of all our natural environment

It is difficult to write rules that tell about exactly when we should apologize, but

it is not difficult to learn what If we have done something to hurt someone

feelings, or if we have been impolite or rude, we should apologize An apology

indicates that we have done a mistake and we are sorry for them It is a way of

expressing our regret for something When we apologize, we admit our

wrongdoing, usually offer a reason why for it, and express regret

The simplest way to apologize is to say, " I'm sorry", but often which is not

enough Let's take a common sitiation Mario is late and enters the classroom,

interrupting the teacher in the middle of the lesson What does he do? The most

polite action is usually to take a seat as quietly as possibly and apologize later

Natural, more than this is needed, but this is not the time for it because of he has

already caused one interruption and doesn't need to make it any longer

Basic to any understanding of Canada in the 20 years after the Second World War isthe country's impressive population growth For every three Canadians in 1945, there were

over five in 1966 In September 1966 Canada's population passed the 20 million mark Most

of this surging growth came from natural increase The depression of the 1930's and the war

had held back marriages, and the catching-up process began after 1945 The baby boom

continued through the decade of the 1950's, producing a population increase of nearly fifteenpercent in the five years from 1951 to 1956 This rate of increase had been exceeded onlyonce before in Canada's history, in the decade before 1911, when the prairies were beingsettled Undoubtedly, the good economic conditions of the 1950's supported a growth in thepopulation, but the expansion also derived from a trend toward earlier marriages and anincrease in the average size of families In 1957 the Canadian birth rate stood at 28 per

thousand, one of the highest in the world After the peak year of 1957, the birth rate in

Canada began to decline It continued falling until in 1966 it stood at the lowest level in 25years Partly this decline reflected the low level of births during the depression and the war,but it was also caused by changes in Canadian society Young people were staying at schoollonger, more women were working; young married couples were buying automobiles orhouses before starting families; rising living standards were cutting down the size offamilies It appeared that Canada was once more falling in step with the trend toward smallerfamilies that had occurred all through the Western world since the time of the IndustrialRevolution Although the growth in Canada's population had slowed down by 1966 (theincrease of the first half of the 1960's was only nine percent), another large population wave

culture and education However, that is not the case nowadays English has replaced French
