      English is not the most widely spoken language in the world in terms of the number of native speakers – there are many more Chinese speakers than native English speakers – but Chinese is spoken little outside Chinese communities, so English is the most widespread language in the world. It is difficult to estimate exactly how many English speakers there are, but according to one estimate there are more than 350,000,000 native speakers and more than 400,000,000 speakers as a second language (a language used in everyday life, even though it is not the native language) or foreign language (a language studied but not used much in everyday life).

       However, even these numbers do not really indicate how important English is as a world language, because less than fifteen per cent of the world population uses English. The importance of English is not just in how many people speak I but in what it is used for. English is the major language of news and information in the world. It is the language of business and government even in some countries where it is a minority language. It is the language of maritime communication and international air traffic control. American popular culture – primarily movies and music – carries the English throughout the world. (…) (p. 6).

         Flourishing is the word that best describes the independent music industry at this moment in time. The fact that new projects require smaller budgets than before has led to the creation of countless labels and independent companies. (…)

      The entire nation has managed to grasp the most positive aspects of the drive towards globalization. Our country is diverse, creative, proactive and, above all, very young. In the past few years, the new generation has become increasingly involved in music production, which means that there is a growing dynamism and energy in the current music scene. (…)

        There are a number of obstacles, the main one being the high level of consumption of pirated goods, which accounts for more than 70% of the market. (…).

          Another difficulty is the limited purchasing power of a large part of the population who access content through piracy because the prices are better suited to their means. For this reason, they are not bothered about the poor quality or the illegality of the product they buy.

      There is a crippling disease that no amount of medical research can cure, no amount of fundraising can prevent – a disease most often transmitted from parent to child.

          If this disease isn‟t checked in its early stages, it can be fatal. The disease is called racism. Its early symptom is the belief that one‟s racial group is somehow superior to others. This can lead to a mentality of “we” versus “them”. In advanced stages, the symptoms of racism are violence, death and destruction. The causes are fear of the foreign (xenophobia), intolerance of diversity and negative attitudes toward Jews and other minorities.

      A cure, however, exists. It‟s a non-surgical change of heart. It takes time, effort and understanding, compassion and respect.

The National Football League (NFL) is joining the American Cancer Society (ACS) to raise awareness about the importance of breast screenings and to raise money to help fight breast cancer.

NFL players, coaches and referees will wear pink during the month of October to remind women about the importance of getting mammograms and clinical breast exams to find breast cancer early, when it’s easier to treat. The program, A Crucial Catch: Annual Screening Saves Lives, is timed to coincide with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The American Cancer Society recommends women 40 and older have a mammogram and clinical breast exam every year, and younger women have clinical breast exams periodically as well.

Hats, wristbands and other apparel worn at NFL games, and special footballs and pink coins will be auctioned off and proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society. Fans attending games are encouraged to wear pink.

The NFL also has a Web page where clubs and fans can register teams to participate in the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. This noncompetitive, inspirational event raises awareness and funds to help end breast cancer by finding cures and supporting programs and services for all people facing the disease.

Additionally, the Society’s advocacy affiliate, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN), is participating in Crucial Catch by encouraging Congress to allocate more funding for cancer research.

More than 250 people were nominated for the prize this year, and there had been speculation that the committee would reward activists from the Middle East who used social networking sites and other Internet platforms as they challenged entrenched dictatorships.

But if the committee had singled out the Arab Spring, it could have courted criticism that, far from rewarding efforts toward peace, it had chosen a phenomenon whose final outcome in Egypt and Tunisia is far from clear, and which has provoked bloodletting and strife in Libya, Syria, Yemen and Bahrain.

Mr. Jagland said the 2011 prize recognized those “who were there long before the world’s media was there reporting.”

The announcement in the Norwegian capital followed intense speculation that the prize would be awarded variously to a figure from the Arab Spring, the European Union or exclusively to Mrs. Johnson Sirleaf, 72, a Harvardeducated economist, who has often been cast as a pioneer in African politics.

She was broadly perceived as a reformer and peacemaker when she took office after several years in exile.

In Yemen, Ms. Karman has been widely known as a vocal opponent of the pro-American regime of Mr. Saleh since 2007, leading a human rights advocacy group called Women Journalists Without Chains. But it was only earlier this year that her readiness to take to the streets inspired thousands more in Yemen to do the same.

In Liberia, Ms. Gbowee, 39, was cited by the Nobel committee for uniting Christian and Muslim women against her country’s warlords. As head of the Women for Peace movement, she was praised for mobilizing women “across ethic and religious dividing lines to bring an end to the long war” that had raged for years in Liberia until its end in 2003 and for ensuring “women’s participation in elections.”

Suffrage is one of the oldest issues that women’s rights activist have been fighting for. The struggle to gain suffrage is often referred to as the first wave of feminism. In 1906

Finland became the first country in the world to grant women the right to vote and stand in elections. Now, 105 years later, Saudi women have also taken a step towards equality with the decision of King Abdullah to grant the women of Saudi Arabia the right to vote and stand for election. The right for women to vote and stand in elections hasn’t always been the case in the West, for example in Switzerland women got suffrage as late as 1971.

According to the decision made by King Abdullah, Saudi women can take part in municipal elections – the only public elections in Saudi Arabia. Women will also be able to be members of the Shura Council which has the power to propose laws to the King.

The announcement has been received with mixed emotions. According to the international organization of Parliaments, IPU, the Inter-Parliamentary Union, the decision means that no country in the world now discriminates against women when it comes to electing leaders. Others remain more sceptical. For example professor and researcher Stéphane Lacroix said in an interview for French newspaper Libération that this decision does not fundamentally change Saudi society.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon welcomes the recent announcements. He believes that these represent an important step in the realization by women in Saudi Arabia of their fundamental civil and political rights.

It will be interesting to see how this law will be implemented and if it succeeds in advancing women’s rights in Saudi Arabia.
