INFINITIVES AND -ING FORMS<br />
1. INFINITIVE WITHOUT TO -ing form, with a difference of meaning. Some verbs (eg. think)<br />
The infinitive is used without to in several different cases. <br />
1. Modal auxiliary verbs: You should consult a good dictionary. The commonest verbs which<br />
After the modal auxiliary verbs will, shall, would, should, can,<br />
could, may, might, and must, we use the infinitive without to. It is<br />
also used after the expressions would rather and had better, and<br />
after need and dare when they are used as auxiliary verbs. <br />
I must go now.<br />
Can you help me?<br />
I'd rather go alone.<br />
You'd better see what she wants.<br />
Need I do the washing up?<br />
How dare you call me a liar.<br />
After ought, used, be and have, the to-infinitive is used.<br />
2. Let, make, hear, etc<br />
Certain verbs are followed by an object and the infinitive without<br />
to. They are: let, make, see, hear, feel, watch, notice, help (in an<br />
informal style).<br />
She lets her children stay up very late.<br />
I made them give me the money back.<br />
I didn't see you come in.<br />
I heard her say that she was fed up.<br />
Did you feel the earth move?<br />
Could you help me unload the car?<br />
When these verbs are used in the passive, they are followed by the<br />
to-infinitive.<br />
He was made to pay back the money.<br />
She was heard to say that she disagreed.<br />
2. INFINITIVE AS SUBJECT OF A SENTENCE<br />
In older English, an infinitive subject could easily be put at the<br />
beginning of a sentence, like any other subject.<br />
To err is human, to forgive divine. (Pope)<br />
In modern English, it is more common to begin the sentence with it<br />
('preparatory subject'), and to put the infinitive later. <br />
It's easy to make mistakes. (Instead of To make<br />
mistakes is easy.)<br />
It was impossible to explain what I meant.<br />
An -ing form is often used instead of an infinitive as the subject of<br />
a sentence, particularly when we are talking about an activity in<br />
general. The -ing form can be put at the beginning of a sentence.<br />
Selling insurance is a pretty boring job.<br />
But if we are talking about one particular action, the infinitive is<br />
more usual.<br />
It was difficult to sell my car.<br />
3. INFINITIVE AFTER VERB<br />
It is very common for one verb to be followed directly by another.<br />
This happens, for instance, if we talk about our attitude to an<br />
action: the first verb describes the attitude, and the second refers<br />
to the action.<br />
I enjoy playing cards.<br />
I hope to see you soon.<br />
In some of these cases, the second verb is the infinitive; in others,<br />
the -ing form is used. The choice depends on the first verb. For<br />
instance, hope can be followed by an infinitive (or by a<br />
that-clause); enjoy is always followed by an -ing form. Some verbs<br />
(eg try, remember) can be followed either by an infinitive or by an<br />
cannot be followed directly by another verb.<br />
In order to know what structures are possible after a particular verb,<br />
are followed directly by an infinitive are:<br />
afford agree appear arrange<br />
ask attempt bear begin<br />
care choose consent dare<br />
decide determine expect fail<br />
forget happen hate help<br />
hesitate hope learn like<br />
love manage mean neglect<br />
offer prefer prepare pretend<br />
promise propose refuse regret<br />
remember seem start swear<br />
tend trouble try want<br />
wish<br />
<br />
Some of these verbs can also be followed by the -ing form, often<br />
with a different meaning.<br />
<br />
Some of these verbs, and a number of others, can be used in the<br />
construction verb + object + infinitive (for example, I wanted her<br />
to come back early).<br />
<br />
Note that these verbs are all followed by an infinitive with to<br />
(except sometimes dare).<br />
4. VERB + OBJECT + INFINITIVE<br />
Want, allow, and some other verbs are normally used with an object<br />
and an infinitive.<br />
She didn't want me to go. (Not: *...that I go.)<br />
They don't allow people to smoke.<br />
I didn't ask you to pay for the meal.<br />
The following list contains the commonest verbs which are used in<br />
this construction. Many of them can also be used in other<br />
constructions (for instance, with an -ing form or a that-clause); for<br />
detailed information about each verb you should consult a<br />
dictionary.<br />
advise hate prefer<br />
allow help press<br />
ask instruct recommend<br />
bear intend request<br />
beg invite remind<br />
cause leave teach<br />
command like tell<br />
compel mean tempt<br />
encourage need trouble<br />
expect oblige want<br />
forbid order warn<br />
force permit wish<br />
get persuade<br />
There are some common verbs that cannot be used in the<br />
structure verb + infinitive; for instance, suggest.<br />
I suggested that she (should) go home.<br />
or I suggested her going home.<br />
5. FOR + OBJECT + INFINITIVE<br />
* After certain adjectives, the special structure for + object +<br />
infinitive is often used.<br />
It is important for the accounts to be ready by Friday.<br />
It's unusual for her door to be open - I wonder if<br />
something's wrong.<br />
I'm anxious for the party to be a success.<br />
The same meaning could often be expressed with a that-clause (I'm<br />
anxious that the party should be a success), but this is usually2<br />
more formal in style. I saw him letting out of his car. (Not *I saw his getting...)<br />
This for-structure is used after three kind of adjectives: 8. -ING FORM AFTER A VERB.<br />
A) Adjectives that express importance or urgency, for instance. When one verb is followed by another, the second verb is not<br />
important, essential, vital, necessary, pointless, unimportant, always in the infinitive. You can say I want to travel or I hope to<br />
unnecessary. The sentence is often introduced by It is. travel, but not *I enjoy to travel. Enjoy is usually followed by the<br />
It is essential for the classroom to have plenty of light. <br />
It is pointless for the three of us to go: one will be enough.<br />
B) Adjectives that express frequency, for instance, common,<br />
normal, unusual, rare. The It is structure is often used.<br />
It is unusual for foxes to come so close to the town. <br />
Do you think it's normal for a child to get so tired?<br />
C) Adjectives that express personal reactions to the future, for<br />
instance, anxious, eager.<br />
I'm anxious for the painting to be ready on time.<br />
They say they'll be delighted for Mary to go and stay. <br />
* A for-structure is often used after too and enough. <br />
It's too heavy for you to lift. I really appreciate having time to relax.<br />
I think it's late enough for us to put Philip to bed. Have you considered getting a job abroad?<br />
* The for-structure can also be used after certain nouns, for You mentioned having been in hospital last year.<br />
instance, plan, idea, suggestion.<br />
Have you heard about the plan for Jack to stand for the<br />
Liberals in the General Election?<br />
His idea is for us to travel in two different cars.<br />
6. INFINITIVE OF PURPOSE.<br />
The infinitive with to is used to talk about people's purposes, the<br />
reasons why they do things.<br />
My brother got a job to earn money for his holiday. <br />
He started drinking to forget.<br />
He stopped for a minute to rest.<br />
The same idea can be expressed by using in order to or so as to.<br />
I got up early in order to have time to pack.<br />
We went via Worcester so as to miss the traffic jams. is a preposition). The infinitive is impossible in these cases.<br />
He stopped for a minute in order to rest.<br />
In negative sentences, in order not to or so as not to are used; the ...*before to start...)<br />
infinitive alone is not usually correct. He walked away without looking back. (Not: ...*without<br />
to look...)<br />
I'm going to start now, in order not to miss the beginning. You can't make an omelette without breaking the eggs<br />
After come, go, run, hurry up, stay, stop and some other verbs, and He's always talking about moving to the country.<br />
can be used instead of an infinitive of purpose. I look forward to hearing from you.<br />
Come and have a drink. <br />
Hurry up and get dressed.<br />
Stay and have dinner. 10. TO + -ING<br />
We ought to stop and think. <br />
Would you go and tell the children to shut up?<br />
7. -ING FORM WITH POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVE OR 'S<br />
The possessives my, your etc, and genitives like John's. can be<br />
used with -ing forms.<br />
Do you mind my making a suggestion?<br />
I'm annoyed about John's forgetting to pay.<br />
In informal English it is more common to use forms like me, you,<br />
John instead, especially when these forms are functioning as the<br />
grammatical object of the sentence.<br />
Do you mind me making a suggestion?<br />
I'm annoyed about John forgetting to pay.<br />
Note that the verbs see, hear, feel, smell are not usually followed by<br />
possessive + -ing.<br />
-ing form, and so are quite a number of other verbs. The most<br />
common are:<br />
admit excuse miss<br />
appreciate face postpone<br />
avoid feel like practise<br />
consider finish put off<br />
contemplate forgive resent<br />
delay give up resist<br />
deny can't help risk<br />
detest imagine can't stand<br />
dislike involve suggest<br />
endure leave off understand<br />
enjoy mention<br />
escape mind<br />
For example:<br />
Excuse my interrupting...<br />
Prevent is followed by object + (from) + -ing.<br />
There's nothing to prevent him (from) taking the money.<br />
The -ing form is also used in the following cases:<br />
to burst out crying / laughing<br />
to go swimming / shopping <br />
to spend / waste time / money doing something<br />
to keep (on) doing something<br />
9. -ING FORM AFTER PREPOSITION<br />
The -ing form is used after all prepositions (including to, when to<br />
You should check the oil before starting the car (Not:<br />
We got the job finished by working sixteen hours a day. <br />
Sentences like I look forward to hearing from you may seem<br />
strange, if you expect the verb in every to + verb structure to be the<br />
infinitive. The point is that to is really two different words. One of<br />
them is just a sign of the infinitive. (It is used with most infinitives,<br />
but is left out in some cases, for example after can or must.)<br />
I want to go home. You can go home alone.<br />
The other to is a preposition.<br />
Lawrence has gone to Denmark.<br />
I'm looking forward to Christmas.<br />
Do you object to Sunday work?<br />
I'm not used to London traffic.<br />
When this preposition is followed by a verb, we use the -ing form<br />
(as we do after all prepositions).<br />
I'm looking forward to seeing you at Christmas.<br />
Do you object to working on Sundays?<br />
I'm not used to driving in London.<br />
I prefer riding to walking. 3<br />
Stop + infinitive = make a break or pause in order to do<br />
If you are not sure whether to is a preposition or not, try<br />
putting a noun after it. If you can, it is a preposition (and is<br />
followed by the -ing form of a verb). Compare:<br />
I'm not used to British traffic conditions. D) Go on + -ing = continue what one has been doing.<br />
I'm not used to driving on the left.<br />
I object to music in restaurants.<br />
I object to having loud music playing while I eat.<br />
If to cannot be followed by a noun, it is not a preposition, and -ing<br />
is not used. You cannot say *I want to dinner, so you do not say<br />
*I want to eating.<br />
Common examples of to + -ing are: look forward to ...-ing, object to<br />
...-ing, be used to ...-ing, in addition to ...-ing, be accustomed to<br />
...-ing (but be accustomed to + infinitive is also possible).<br />
11. -ING FORM: SPECIAL CASES<br />
Note the use of the -ing form after as, like, than, any / some / no etc<br />
good , any / some / no etc use and worth.<br />
As well as getting on everybody's nerves, he's got a habit * With the adjective interested, the -ing form refers to what<br />
of borrowing money and forgetting to pay it back.<br />
Why don't you do something useful, like cleaning the flat?<br />
There's nothing that depresses me more than waking up<br />
with a hangover on a wet Monday.<br />
Is it any good trying to explain?<br />
It's not much use my buying salmon if you don't like it. <br />
It isn't worth repairing the car. (= The car isn't worth<br />
repairing)<br />
12. -ING FORM OR INFINITIVE?<br />
Some verbs can be followed by either an -ing form or an infinitive,<br />
usually with a difference of meaning. The most important cases are:<br />
advise go on propose<br />
allow hate regret<br />
attempt hear remember<br />
can't bear intend see<br />
begin like start<br />
continue love stop<br />
forbid permit try<br />
forget prefer watch<br />
This is also the case with certain adjectives:<br />
accustomed interested used<br />
afraid sorry<br />
certain sure<br />
* With remember, forget, stop, go on and regret, the<br />
difference is connected with time. the -ing form refers to things that<br />
happened earlier (before the remembering, forgetting, etc takes<br />
place); the infinitive refers to things that happen after the<br />
remembering, etc.<br />
A) Remember + -ing = remember what one has done, or what<br />
has happened<br />
I shall always remember meeting you for the first time. <br />
Remember + infinitive = remember what one has to do. <br />
Remember to go to the post office, won't you.<br />
B) Forget + -ing = forget what one has done, or what has<br />
happened <br />
I shall never forget seeing the Queen.<br />
Forget + infinitive = forget what one has to do.<br />
She's always forgetting to give me my letters. 'Can I give you a lift?' - 'No, thanks, I prefer to walk.' <br />
C) Stop + -ing = stop what one is doing, or does. * Allow, advise, forbid and permit are followed by an -ing<br />
I really must stop smoking. form when there is no personal object. If we say who is allowed,<br />
advised, etc, the infinitive is used.<br />
something.<br />
Every half hour I stop work to smoke a cigarette.<br />
How long do you intend to go on playing those bloody<br />
records? <br />
Go on + infinitive = change, move on to something new.<br />
He welcomed the new students and then went on to<br />
explain the college regulations.<br />
C) Regret + -ing = be sorry for what has happened.<br />
I don't regret telling her what I thought, even if it upset<br />
her.<br />
Regret + infinitive = be sorry for what one is going to say.<br />
I regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you<br />
employment.<br />
will (or may) happen, and the infinitive refers to what has happened.<br />
Interested in + -ing = interested by the idea of doing<br />
something.<br />
I'm interested in working in Switzerland. Do you know<br />
anybody who could help me?<br />
Interested + infinitive = interested by what one learns or<br />
experiences.<br />
I was interested to read in the paper that scientists have<br />
found out how the universe began.<br />
* Like + -ing = enjoy<br />
I like walking in the rain.<br />
Like + infinitive = choose to; be in the habit of; think it<br />
right to.<br />
I like to get up early so that I can have plenty of work<br />
done before lunch.<br />
I heard you talking and I didn't like to disturb you, so I<br />
went away.<br />
Note that would like means 'wish' or 'want', and is always followed<br />
by the infinitive.<br />
What would you like to do tomorrow? (Not: *What would<br />
you like doing tomorrow?)<br />
* With love, hate and prefer there is not much difference<br />
between the two structures.<br />
I love lying / to lie on my back and staring / to stare at the<br />
sky.<br />
Some people hate working / to work in the early morning.<br />
Personally, I prefer working / to work in the morning.<br />
When we are referring to one particular occasion, it is more common<br />
to use the infinitive.<br />
Would you like to have lunch now or would you prefer to<br />
wait? <br />
I'll love to come and see you some time.<br />
I hate to break things up, but it's time to go home. <br />
I hate to mention it, but you owe me some money. 4<br />
Sorry, we don't allow smoking in the lecture room. * Sorry is used with an infinitive when we apologize for<br />
We don't allow people to smoke in here.<br />
I wouldn't advise taking the car - there's nowhere to park.<br />
I wouldn't advise you to take the car...<br />
* After see, watch and hear, and -ing form suggests that<br />
we observe part of a complete action; when we start looking or use a perfect infinitive or for + -ing, or a that-clause.<br />
listening it is already going on. The infinitive is used when we want<br />
to suggest that we observe the whole action from beginning to end. Sorry to have woken you up yesterday.<br />
I'm sorry for waking you up (or for having woken you up)<br />
When I walked past his house I heard him practising the yesterday.<br />
violin I'm sorry that I woke you up yesterday.<br />
I heard Oistrakh play the Beethoven violin concerto last<br />
week. <br />
When I glanced out of the window I saw Mary crossing the<br />
road. <br />
I watched him step off the pavement, cross the road, and<br />
disappear into the post-office.<br />
* Try + -ing = make an experiment; do something to see<br />
what will happen.<br />
I tried sending her flowers but it didn't have any effect. <br />
Try putting in some more vinegar - that might make it<br />
taste a bit better.<br />
* Try + infinitive = make an effort; attempt to do something<br />
difficult.<br />
Please, try to understand.<br />
I once tried to learn Japanese.<br />
* Afraid of + -ing and afraid + infinitive can often both be<br />
used with little difference of meaning.<br />
I'm afraid to fly / of flying.<br />
I'm afraid to tell / of telling her.<br />
However, when we are talking about things which happen<br />
to us unexpectedly, without our wanting or choosing them, only the<br />
-ing form is possible.<br />
I'm afraid of crashing. (Not: *...to crash.)<br />
I don't like to speak French because I'm afraid of making<br />
mistakes. (Not: *...to make...)<br />
Compare:<br />

<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Global problems of humanity</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Globalization is the process of integration at a higher geographical level than in previous stages of development. The globalization process is natural, inevitable and to some extent expected. The driving force behind the globalization of economic activities, linking production and markets of different countries through trade in goods and services and movement of capital and information. Globalization is a question only the second half of 20 century. When the development of science and technology has brought human civilization next full advantage of new risks and nebezbečí that threatens extinction of mankind, but also all life on Earth. Global problems of humanity’s problems are not limited only to a single country or continent, but worldwide, and their solution is important for all humanity. Global challenges are many and interlinked. Generally it can be divided into several groups:</div>
<div style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; padding: 0px; position: relative; width: 300px;">
</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Risk of war</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
In the history of mankind, the war was a common means of policy, allowing armed violence to promote the interests of states, nations and social groups. The army and the weapons were a guarantee of security <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />. In the 20 century. However, our modern civilization break in the military and arms production. Eg. some nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction capable of destroying modern civilization and humanity back to its origins or lead to destruction of wildlife. Science and technology enables the production of weapons that are difficult to control. It can lead to weapons of mass destruction, organized crime or terrorists. The current outbreak of tensions and conflicts are primarily in the so-called third world but also in the Balkans or the Caucasus. These are mainly countries where underdeveloped economy and infrastructure and the living habits of the population prevents democratic development. Can be taken on domestic usurpers, plotters and soldiers. Population promises a simple solution to all problems, and under the guise of religious or ethnic violence act in their favor. This process usually ends with a humanitarian disaster. The greatest conflicts are taking place in the new nations of Africa, Indonesia, Chechnya, or between India and Pakistan. Despite the support of various military and humanitarian missions, such as the UN, the situation is not improving in most places.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Population growth</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Population growth is considered one of the priorities of global problems. In 1850 the population reached 1 billion for the first time. To achieve the second had only 75 years and in 2000 lived on the Earth of 6 billion people. If this enormous growth continues, by 2030 the population in 1912 to form in 2100 about 50 billion people. This rapid growth is due to decreased mortality, improved nutrition and health. care. The largest population increase recorded in the developing countries where industrial development has been recently. In addition to population growth, there is also the displacement of people into cities. After 2000 lived in cities, about half of all people. The influx of people into cities is again most pronounced in developing countries, where the city is skyrocketing, but associated with a labor shortage. opportunities, poverty, drugs and alcohol, crime, cultural uprooting and loss of identity. Many people live in slums, so-called slums without any infrastructure in unimaginable poverty. The current rate of population growth can not proceed without damaging the planetary ecosystem, and even more did not reduce the standard of living. The population explosion has resulted in even greater industrial growth, rapid exploitation of natural resources and increasing environmental pollution.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Securing natural resources and energy</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
With the growth of human population and the speed of the global economy is increasing consumption of water, food, fossil fuels, minerals and other raw materials. In most cases, their resources are limited, which leads to a deficiency. Serious as water and food shortages. Hunger is one of the worst global issues. Millions of people today during the scientific revolution are suffering and dying of hunger. One of the most affected area is the area south of the Sahara, known as the Sahel zone, where some countries are totally dependent on food aid from abroad. Dies of hunger every year about 20 million people that is about 50,000 a day. <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Most of the ground capable of cultivation, already used for food production. Fish stocks in the oceans are rapidly reduced or have been destroyed. In all of the available deposits of oil or gas has been extracted. The larger part of the country was transformed in the developed areas due to economic <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />development. Agriculture, forestry, industry, housing, transport network seriously disrupt or destroy nature. Many less-developed countries face serious social and economic challenges posed by population growth and the need to finance infrastructure development and thus often lack the money for development. There are the pressures at the earliest possible use of natural resources. Fertile land is used for growing commercial crops for export such as coffee. In developed countries, in turn increases the pressure on resources particularly rapid growth in living standards and the excessive consumption of the population.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Environmental degradation</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Since one can do with your thinking, techniques and technologies to find new ways to enjoy nature, became a permanent factor in the state of the environment. <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Originally influenced nature only locally, then regionally, but globally as well lately. Typical signs of human activity on Earth is a permanent loss of forests. Currently, it has affected large areas of Europe, Siberia, and especially tropical rain forests. Since 1900, disappeared about half of tropical forests are felled each year and about 16 million ha. Deforestation man gaining ground on agriculture for a limited period of time, because there has been a rapid erosion, land degradation and climate change. Nature also losing the enormous genetic potential and is thus the extinction of certain animal and plant species. The forests are disappearing as natural protection against the spread of steppe and desert, there is a decrease of groundwater and the lack of water and long droughts. The devastation of the natural ingredients sector has a different level. The smallest range of changes in the lithosphere. They are concentrated in small areas, such as the mining of raw materials but produce full-scale landscape changes. <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Hydrosphere pollution damage varies with surface and groundwater quantity <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />and harmfulness of waste. The increasing levels of pollution is caused by industry and agriculture, such as the use of fertilizers and crop protection chemicals, etc. or a tanker accident of some marine pollution has reached dangerous levels, especially in major ports and coasts or in areas of oil production. <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Air pollution is especially dangerous because of the ease of transmission over long distances, emissions-ment. These are mainly dust, sulfur oxides, nitrogen, and some substances in small concentrations, but with high impact such as Freon. It works on the decomposition of ozone and the formation of ozone holes. Other ozone depletion can have devastating consequences for the Earth, this is a protection against harmful cosmic radiation. <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />The main sources of air pollution are power plants, home heating systems, factories and combustion processes in automobile and aircraft. Air pollution has serious impacts on human health, contaminates the soil, kills trees …. . Some substances, mainly oxides of sulfur and nitrogen can dissolve in the clouds, giving rise to the so-called acid rain. These rains could cause even at great distances from the emission of causing pollution of groundwater and surface waters and springs. Another serious problem is the greenhouse effect and associated global warming. It is a phenomenon caused by high concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to greater retention of heat radiation and temperature rise <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />on Earth. The consequences can be expected on the planet, may result in fluctuation of climate change in precipitation regime (local drought or floods), spreading deserts, to gain and change of tropical storms and melting glaciers, leading to rising global ocean levels and the risk of some coastal areas or entire islands. From human activities <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />would probably suffer most from agriculture, which is very sensitive to climate change. Global warming is partly a natural process, but it is one of considerable interest and it could slow down and stop primarily by reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. This is related to industrial activities such as using alternative energy sources instead of burning fossil fuels, but also a way of life such as car use. Many international agreements to limit emissions and alludes to the reluctance of some countries fear slowdown in its economic development are particularly developing countries, but should the United States of America, which produces up to 13% of all emissions.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Diseases and other modern phenomena</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Man is threatened by a number of lifestyle diseases and dangerous phenomena. There are many diseases that are not even able to present medical science to heal. They are mainly different viral disease present, of which the best known and most dangerous of AIDS, which now occurs worldwide. Especially in Africa and Third World countries that lack the resources to education and medications for him thousands die. Growing number of diseases caused by the human way of life, such as cancer from smoking, etc. <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Artificial human environment brings risks of many previously unknown diseases, but also threatens the emergence of new diseases. Chemical poisons, radiation damage, not only physical health, but also in the human genetic code. An increasing number of children born with birth defects and hereditary diseases. People knowingly accept toxins in the form of drugs, alcohol, tobacco and drug abuse. Another problem is the overall urbanization of the West and the related physical degeneration and the rising number of suicides. It is paradoxical that a man as a biological organism at the highest level of development could harm the most myself.</div>
