Google Earth is a virtual global program that was originally called Earth Viewer and was created by Keyhole, Inc., a company acquired by Google in 2004. Earth Viewer was renamed Google Earth in 2005. It maps the earth by using images obtained from satellite imagery, aerial photography and GIS 3D globe. The release of Google Earth caused an increase in public interest in geospatial technologies and applications. The viewer displays houses, the colour of cars and even the shadows of people and street signs. It allows viewing of buildings and structures in some areas in 3D. There are several kinds of maps. Topographical maps show both the natural features of the earth`s surface, such as land slopes, lakes, rivers, mountains and valleys and man-made features such as towns and bridges. Road maps for travellers and tourists have symbols for historic sites, hotels, churches and hospitals. Military mapmakers hace special symbols that show military activities and installations. For all maps, mapmakers try to use symbols that resemble the actual feature as closely as possible. Every map has a list of symbols and explanations.

Since the terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre, hundreds of thousands of people have visited Ground Zero, in order to see the site of the attack and to mourn the thousands of people who died there. A memorial is being planned, which will include five huge skyscrapers at the site. At the centre will be a towering skyscraper that will soar above the New York skyline to an impressive 540 metres. The Freedom Tower, as it is called, will be the highest tower in the United States. It will symbolise the country's freedom and independence, and its refusal to be intimidated by terrorists.
Your Task: Atocha Station in Madrid could attract dark tourism too, as it was one of the sites of the tragic bomb attacks in 2004.

Peer pressure is being in a situation where you have to do the things other people of your age do in order to be accepted by them.The pressure to look fashionable is one of the most common. Now it's as if we all need to wear the same brand of clothes and trainers. However, surely having the confidence to wear what you choose says more about your personality that being like a clone. You mustn´t let fashion turn you into a slave.
When it comes to serious issues like drinking, smoking or drugs, peer pressure can get you into dangerous situations because you have the impression you must do what the others do, even when you don't agrre with it. The way I see it, though, is that if you don't want to do something, you needn`t sacrifice your beliefs just to fit in with your friends. If you do, maybe you`d better find yourself some new friends.
Although we all need to have the feeling that we're one of the crowd, we also ought to remember to feel good by being true to ourselves too. We're all unique so why should we hide it?
