Final Topic 1

Hello. I will tell you about works and hobbies.
There are dangerous jobs, like this: Ten- year-old Matt is standing on the edge of the roof. Suddenly, he hears his mother's voice. "Just jump Matt!" Matt was born into a family of stuntmen. In fact, the Epper family has been doing death-defying stunts since the 1930s. Matt is the fourth generation of Eppers who might carry on the business. Of all the crazy risk-takers in this family, there is one name that stands out as being the toughest of the bunch. Her name is Jeannie Epper who happens to be Matt's great grandmother. She has been in the business for over 60 years and is still going strong. Every day, somewhere in Hollywood there is an Epper flipping a car or setting themselves on fire.

And another dangerous job: Smokejumpers are elite firefighters who risk their lives fighting forest fires in remote areas. They bravely parachute out of aeroplanes into burning forests, where they quickly get to work putting the fire out. When they parachute into a fire zone they wear a padded jump jacket and trousers, boots, gloves, a face mask and a helmet. They also carry a backpack with some food and water, and a fire shelter.


Or the easy jobs: After school all of pupils go to university, therefore they become a students. And also is necessary to earn some money for a life. Students can be a video game testers, lifeguards, secret shoppers, dishwashers, delivery persons, gardeners, babysitters, dog walkers, waiters, cashiers, camp counsellors and others. 
  

Or there are hobbies, like this: Lake Baikal is one of the best places for diving under the ice. In the lake there are 1085 species of plants and 1550 species of animals. Diving under ice sheets is very dangerous. So divers are preparing for immersion under ice for a very long time.

Or this: More and more young people are choosing volunteer‘s job nowadays. They help to poor families , teach children and take care of orphans. There is a wide variety of voluntary job to choose from. There are groups organise holidays through the world . You can help to animals , for example turtles . We have to say thank you to volunteers ,because they helped , are helping and will help people and animals and they’re making our world better.
All people need to work. And work or hobby takes a big part of your life.

Ian Charles Jarvie (born 8 July 1937) is a philosopher trained in England, long resident in Canada. Jarvie studied at the London School of Economics under Karl Popper. He is a member of the Royal Society of Canada and managing editor of the journal Philosophy of the Social Sciences.
The philosophy of social science and the movie industry are two of his main topics of research. He is a professor at York University in Toronto.
Jarvie's philosophical temperament is influenced by his former teacher, Karl Popper. Other influences include: David Hume, Bertrand Russell, and Ernest Gellner. Further, Jarvie's philosophical method owes a debt to training in social anthropology. In this vein, he has published anthropological work on the cargo cults of the South Pacific and has contributed anthropological studies on the media. His adherence to functionalism in the study of the social differs from that of Durkheim and his followers in his holding that knowledge and ideas must be presented as causal variables. Further, Jarvie contends, it must be the case that a functionalist framework with an active role for explanatory ideas requires a conception of rationality towards ideas. Politically, Jarvie is a liberal.
