The 2000s were marked by significant economic growth in Asian countries, especially in China and India (by analogy with the previous "American century", the XXI century is considered the "Asian century"). Economic growth was accompanied by a rise in oil prices, which reached their all-time high in July 2008. At the same time, the crisis that began in the United States associated with an avalanche-like increase in loan defaults provoked a global recession in 2008.
After the unprecedented scale of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in the United States, the American government declared the so-called. "War on terrorism", in which the wars began in Afghanistan (2001) and Iraq (2003). Conflicts continued in the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and the post-Soviet space. The disintegration of Yugoslavia is over. The expansion of NATO continued, in 2001 the Shanghai Cooperation Organization was established.
There was a widespread introduction of digital technologies: the development of the Internet and a significant increase in its role in society, the spread of mobile phones, digital cameras, the emergence of the Blu-ray format. Construction of the ISS continued. In 2001, the Mir orbital station was flooded. The geography of the "space club" expanded: in 2003, China launched its first cosmonaut into space, and in 2009, Iran launched its first satellite.
As indicated in 2014 by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the 2000s were the warmest in the history of meteorological observations.
Each person has his hobby and as a matter of fact little free time to do something we like doing most of all. I also have many hobbies. As I am a pupil I haven`t got much free time during the school days. And I study in Russian school so I`ve got only one day off. It`s Sunday.
In my free time I usually hang out with my friends or surf the Net. If it is summer I don`t use the computer much and have a great time outside. But in autumn, winter and spring I have to use computer more because sometimes wecan`t do our homework without using the Internet. And I usually chat with my friends because I don`t see some of them for a long time.
On Saturdays or Sundays I usually help my mum with the housework, watch TV, meet my friends and often play the guitar because I`m mad about music.
But sometimes if the school days were busy and I had to study much harder I simply relax. I think we must do something interesting in our free time because we become borried and tired after doing homework and studying so hard.
