What is academic writing?
Academic writing is a formal style of
writing used for educational purposes.
In our content subjects we are tasked

For many young people, university is mostly a way to get the education
they need for further professional activity. Some students study
eagerly, others drudge through it, but all of them understand that
without graduating from a university, future perspectives are rather
dim. Furthermore, many students (after completing higher education
and getting employed in a company or starting their own business)
tend to think that attending an educational institution was the last time
they had to study. What such people do not realise is that studying is,
in fact, one of the biggest services one can do for oneself.

• A tsunami is a series of large waves generated by an abrupt movement on
the ocean floor that can result from an earthquake, an underwater landslide, a
volcanic eruption or – very rarely – a large meteorite strike. The friction
between two slow-moving plates of the Earth's crust creates vast amounts of
seismic energy which is released in the form of an earthquake. When a strong
undersea earthquake strikes a relatively short distance below the sea floor, it
abruptly pushes up one of the immense plates of the Earth's crust. That
suddenly displaces an enormous amount of ocean water which becomes a
tsunami, spreading outward in every direction from the epicenter of an
earthquake – like ripples on a pond, only on a much larger scale.

On the other hand, chauvinism as sexism refers both to males and
females, as it assumes the belief in the superiority of one sex over the
other.
Male chauvinists believe women must stay at home, cook and raise
children, while men are supposed to live an active life, build careers
and self-actualize (Iota 156). At the same time, some forms of modern
feminism can be referred to as female chauvinism.
For example, despite the fact that Islam strictly prohibits male
chauvinism, it is widely believed in western media that Islam accepts it
as a norm. For example, Muslims are often considered disdainful in the
way they treat their women, though it is not true for the majority of
Muslims.
On the contrary, women often furiously argue about the numerous
advantages of women over men. This can also be called chauvinism.

Ironically, rock climbing accidents can also be caused by
user error. Of the many dangers that rock climbers face,
many can be prevented. Each year nearly one out of every
three accidents is preventable. According to certified guide
Jessie Guthrie, “many people—even advanced climbers—get
hurt every year because of careless errors” (Guthrie,
2008:20). Careless errors typically involve failure to check
partner’s equipment and lack of basic rescue skills. Because
of user error and other avoidable mistakes, rock climbing
can be harmful.
