Happy vacations!

Terrorism

Terrorism is an act of violence that has occurred for many years. One example of that is the wars that occurred to conquer places. Today, the terrorism is more organized, but this is not a new organization. The reasons can be many, some are political, some are religious, and other cultural and other kinds.  But whatever the reason is the consequences are fatal and sad.

We can say that the terrorism is a form to change the order of the things. The terrorism, use the violence to hurt one or more persons and cause disorder to the peace to get benefits. Today, we can see more terrorist acts for a political reason. The lust for power has grown day by day and unfortunately some people decided the terrorist acts to achieve this power. One example of that occurred in Germany when Adolfo Hitler imposed a system where the torture, executions and forced labor were part of it.

The weapons that terrorist use to make terrorism acts are many. But curiously these groups prefer to use semiautomatic weapons that there can do a big disaster. But sometimes the weapons are incredible, like car bombs or people who make bombs. The traffic of weapons is indispensable for these groups, so we can say that one problem leads to other problem. And obviously and others weapons, and I think is the most famous by the attacks of September 11, is the use of weapons of common things to make this acts, for example, airplanes and trains. Other weapons are biological and chemical weapons.

We can't talk about terrorism without mentioning the acts of September 11, 2001. The fall of the World Trade Center is maybe the largest terrorist act in the humanity history. And it is the best example to see the consequences of the terrorism. Many innocent people died, and this acts change the peace, because this caused a war between Unites States and Afghanistan. Personally I think that the reason to their acts is other, and the version that we know is not the real version. Bush is a man that addicted to the power, and the acts occurred in a very rare way. Unfortunately, whatever the reason many innocent people died.

 The human being has been characterized as being uncomfortable. We don’t like they have peace and live the best possible way. Because of that, we can to see every year wars and terrorism acts. The society needs to change, and this is indispensable. If we don´t change and we don´t look for ways to live better and in peace, we will always be in danger. The human life is the most valuable thing that we can get. We need life to do things. It is sad see how some people think that the power is more important that our life. Just think please.


Globalization

Globalization has many meanings and many kinds. In summarized we can say that the globalization is a phenomenon that is happening in the entire world and does not stop. Globalization is a process of unification caused by different process of socialization. Exist many kinds of globalization that including different themes of today's world. So exist for example economic globalization, technological globalization, cultural globalization and social globalization. The globalization brought to different consequences and is caused for different reason that you can read in this essay.

This phenomenon is very old. We can say that this process began when started the migration of peoples and made great geographical discoveries. Why we can believe that the globalization began in that time? It easy, if you read some articles of History, you can read that the large villages are imposed on the little villages and implanted there language, customs, religion and other kind of thing. So the humanity always has been under globalization effects. Currently he hear more about that phenomenon but some people believe that it is a new concept

Many are the reason that causes the globalization process and every day we have more reasons. The pour countries for example, have to change the market and improve their products if they want to compete and stay afloat. Other reason are the society, the human being always want that the other have.  So, for try to imitate to the other, humans buy even without the ability to do. Besides, some people believe in some religion only because friends and family believe in that religion. Those reasons are countless, but it is true that this phenomenon does not stop and in a few time we have only one culture.

Around this time that this process has been, we can see many differences and changes in the world. This differences and changes are consequences of globalization. We can see that know the markets have been unified, so the competition has increased and the poor countries have more difficulties to grow up. Besides, the natural resources have suffered wastage because the humans being just think to grow at the expense of whatever. Also some cultures have disappeared, because another culture absorbed it. These are some consequences about globalizations, but the consequences don´t stop.

I believe that not only is bad, globalization have been many advantages. For example globalization has made great contributions to communication. I think specially technological globalization has been very important for the humanity. For me the problem is not that process, because we have to be prepare for changes, for me that problem is that people completely forget who they are. People forgot they culture, religion, customs and that is not correct.

Jail Sentences

The respect for property and human life is something that has tried to instill in society. Unfortunately there is a part of society that did not want to learn and less to put into practice the word respect. Currently the offenses have increased dramatically, but the worst is now very little the respect for human life. There are many ways of crime, but each has different ways of punishment. The question is punishing the offender in the best way? These sentences are intended to prevent crime?

There are many types of crime. Some people do not often commit criminal acts but because of its irresponsibility kill other people. An example of this is the drunk drivers. To me a drunk and driving is a murderer. But I think people deserve the opportunity to live and change his addiction to alcohol, soothe prison if a good punishment for them. However, if they repeat their actions should not have mercy. That is worthy of only opportunity to be seized. Should go to jail, but not torture.

Today the prison is a way to punish offenders and criminals. But is this enough for people who would not or could adapt peacefully to society? Personally I think it is not good punishment only sentenced to many years in prison, because we know that the only punishment there is no get out. Otherwise criminals have food, bed, forms of recreation, and they not have to work for it. We could say that besides making suffer society lives at the expense of them. The prisons are maintained with taxes that all citizens pay.

Besides all this, the penalties are not even respected in their entirety. Many manage to leave half of his sentence, other sentences succeed puny compared to crimes they did. This may be happening, because, unfortunately, criminals increase and prison capacity decreases. I think the implementation of new forms of punishment would be a good way to stop crime. Many talk of the death penalty, but I personally believe that torture would be a far worse punishment.

Torture may be a better form of punishment. Although it violates human rights, we cannot consider both people did not consider others. Criminals do not think about the lives of others, or the family of the other ¿why society has to consider them? If the sentences were strong enough, the fear make that crimes decrease. I believe the theory "eye for eye, tooth for tooth" should apply to these people. It is clear that the current system to combat crime is not working.


Ethnic Conflicts

  Throughout human history, there have always been divisions group for different reasons. These divisions have led to fights and conflicts due to difference of interest. Ethnic conflict is a sociology term that is used to define any action or violent confrontation, both physical and verbal between two or more groups.  These groups can be defined by their culture, religion, geographic origin, race, and many other features. Ethnic conflicts has been a problem for humanity, because even have caused the loss of human lives.

    Today, we see as ethnic conflicts have increased, but this is a problem that has persisted since many years ago. Many scientists believe that Neanderthals, a species belonging to the genus homo and living in Europe and Asia be extinguished in a fight against Homo sapiens. Since then, the problems of race have been increasing over time, even more when it became popular the expansion of villages to form great empires. These ambitions caused the using force and violence to subdue other nations. Also, this situation brought the creation of other problems such as slavery.

    Unfortunately, though lands have been identified, this problem has not stopped. Today, we still see ethnic conflicts that are destroying lives. But we can say that today the situation has increased due to the lack of tolerance and respect for society. Many people look for any excuse to cause fights that end with dignity and even the lives of people. It is unfortunate how despite the progress of society continues to be brutal. We don’t have to go very far to see what I`m talking about, the conflict living Costa Rica and Nicaragua is an example of that.

  Unfortunately today any reason is used to generate violence. Many people fight and even kill by their difference of taste. That one would prefer the Rock and other pop, or if you're black or white, or if you are "Saprissistas" or "Liguistas” Any situation of difference is exploited to generate violence. We can then conclude that ethnic conflicts are caused by lack of tolerance in society. The question is, based on which we can define what are the tastes or patterns to follow? Why we cannot keep our taste and respect the others?

Although there are many reasons, the result is summarized in pain. Families suffer to see their dead loved ones; children suffer when they cannot defend their rights because of conflicts. The most regrettable thing is that this phenomenon is not going to stop because it is children who continue to see violence and violence learning. We must raise awareness; start at home to promote tolerance and equality. We are all people, we all have feelings and we all deserve respect.

     

Globalization of infectious diseases

An infectious disease is a disease caused by microorganisms, bacteria, viruses that enter the body and produces infection. There are many types of infectious diseases. The causes of infectious diseases are many and everyone is vulnerable to contracting this illness. The consequences are many, some minor but others can lead to death. Today these diseases are widespread and exist throughout the world.

Today, it is common to hear the term globalization, but we believe that the process of globalization is only the loss of identity and culture. This is not true, infectious diseases have also been globalized and there around the planet. Many countries are worried about breaking down barriers in order to increase trade, sales and profits, the problem is that not done with the care that should be done. Daily in countries enter contaminated products, people overseas and others who bring infectious diseases which are transmitted to people living in those countries.

There are many types of infectious diseases. Some of them are chicken pox, measles, flu and AIDS. The worrying thing is that every day there are new diseases and even more difficult to cure. For example, a study in United States has revealed that damage to the environment has led to a variety of infectious diseases. The worst of it is still damaging the environment so the process of creating new diseases will not stop.

The consequences of the globalization infectious diseases are many. The consequences of the spread of infectious diseases can be mild or severe, depending on the conditions of life of people and how countries are prepared to fight.  Enough to go a year ago, where the H1N1 virus killed many people in many parts of the world besides this disease is causing spend exorbitant amounts of money to fight this disease, so that public spending increases in the world.  It is important to realize this problem, because the loss of human life is not a situation to take lightly.

In this world should not only import barriers and walls down to grow, we must make our actions in good conscience. We have to be more careful about what we eat, if we have careful that measure can save our life.  Another step is that the government is taking care of properly especially airports and borders and the products and people that entering the country. Finally is very important care for the environment in order to protect the life of the planet and our lives

Inmmigracion reasons and consequences

  Migration is the movement of people or animals from one location to another. Immigration is the entry into countries, especially developed countries, of people from other countries and cultures. Today immigration is a phenomenon that has grown and expanded around the world. When we listen and observe this phenomenon we ask, what are the reasons that lead people to leave their country of origin? What are the consequences for this phenomenon?

    Many people choose to risk their lives crossing rivers, deserts, seas and borders. Many people decide to go away from their families, friends and their own culture. But what reasons led them to risk their life and taking these risks? The causes are many, but basically it comes down to one which is to improve their living conditions. The current situation of certain countries have forced many people to seek countries to increase their ability to grow, although the price is often very high.
   Today many countries have difficult economic and social conditions. Especially in poor countries or poor development countries, where growth opportunities are only for a few. For example, situations such as unemployment, violence, high levels of hunger and poverty are causes of migration processes of people. On the other hand, developed countries, that provide greater employment opportunities, have better law enforcement have higher levels of immigration. All these factors encourage people to go to other countries, even when they can`t have a quiet life by the fear of being deported.

According to the UN, countries with higher levels of immigrants are the developed countries. According to recent data, these countries are the United States, Canada, UK, Italy, Germany and Australia. The highest authorities of these countries have said that such high levels of immigration are harmful to the country. Their reasons are that immigrants raise unemployment levels recipient countries and many immigrants do not respect the culture of the country and seek to live in their own way. But the biggest reason why immigration is considered a problem is because many immigrants come to make criminal acts, and with this increased violence, crime and public spending in these countries. For these reasons, countries have to put more security on its borders and many politicians are campaigning against immigrants.
    The causes and reasons of immigrants and host countries are understandable. But we must remember that these phenomena have been given because of the great process of globalization which we live. Process that developed countries have driven for their own growth. If all cherishing our culture and we lived happily with their always trying to improve society's thinking would be different. In short, we must remember that we are all human and we all live on the same planet. But above all, we must stop hurting us, we should instead try to help us each other.
