Sharks ( Lord of the deep)

My topic is basically about the relationship between shark and humans. and specifically about the sharks in our environment what is their importance, who is the victim in all attacks, with general information about this fish, historically and scientifically. sharks or ( as people would like to name it like, lord of deep, the threat ,,, etc) are fish, human faced sharks threats years ago, and they created such an image of a monster in all around the oceans. it became a real nightmare for many people specially swimmers, fishers and divers. However, the real truth is not that, we are not victims, and we will never be. we are the culprits against a lot of animals and fishes apart from pollutions, wars, forestation...etc, in our world. from this point, I am going to talk in my research paper about Numbers, Studies and facts around this issue. and my goal is to discuss how such an idea became a true fact in our mind and through many generations before us.

Sharks existed long before dinosaurs lived. Sharks are fish, not mammals like whales and dolphins are, but unlike most fish, sharks don’t have any bones. Instead, their skeletons are made of cartilage, which is not hard or brittle as bones. Another interesting fact about sharks is that they cannot swim backwards. Some kinds of sharks are only a few inches long, about the size of a person’s hand. Certain sharks, however, can grow to be bigger than a school bus! Some species, such as the great white shark, are well known through movies, books, television documentaries, etc. And are considered pretty scary by most people. Shark’s huge mouth and sharp, pointy teeth make them dangerous opponents. Fear, however, hasn’t stop people from hunting sharks. Many products are made from sharks, using their meet, skin, oil, teeth and jaws. Their fins are also considered a delicacy, and are served up in such dishes as shark’s fin soup. Fishermen have been known to cut of only the fins of sharks and then throw the rest back into the water to die. Many scientists agree that humans are greater threats to sharks than sharks are to humans.

The reasons I am so interested in this topic because basically this is my planet as well and I do care about it no matter what. and I feel a lot of things I can not change like, Global worming, Deforestation, Wars....etc However all these issues are unquestionably known as its definitions, but not sharks and their role in our life. their importance in our ecosystem. and how is the victim, and how the media played a big role by changing the truth image. People do have misunderstanding about Sharks. and I will express this in my research paper before the end of this semester.
