Change in the Abortion Law

Few days ago the abortion law changed. Now, it is illegal.

Firstly I want to say that I'm totally opposed to his absurd law. We are returning to the past. They are controlling us. They are deciding for our body. They are taking away some of our life.

The government, as usual, control us but now they cross the line.

Everybody has their opinions and enough knowledge to think they want to do. If you have a child your life change. If, for example, I have a baby my life will change completely. This means that everybody knows their situation  and I think that in these "modern times it's absurd that we're retuning to the past.

Also if for some mistake a teenager is pregnant , their life will be ruined. if for some terrible thing happens like that someone raped you. you have to be pregnant because some stupid person ruined your life it's absurd that you can't have an abortion!! Yes, I know that for this case is you pass a test you can abort, but they make you a lot of tests and maybe they don't believe you.

So, if their mentality is too closed it isn't our fault. it has to be a male that made this law.... A chauvinistic male. I'm sure that they didn't think that if their daughters is pregnant, he will be a grandfather for his stupid and ridiculous law.

I have my right to do whatever I want with my pussy!

Man survives 16 months at sea

Fish, birds, turtles - anything he could get hold of, he would kill with his bare hands. Jose told his rescuers he even drank turtle blood to stay alive during the 16 months he says he was adrift at sea. When his boat finally washed up at Ebon Atoll on Thursday, halfway between Hawaii and Australia, he was emaciated and barely able to walk. Ola Fjeldstad, a Norwegian anthropology student who's doing research in the Marshall Islands, said Jose's fiberglass boat bore the signs of the harrowing 7,500-mile detour:

Ola Fjeldstad, anthropology student:

We first found his boat, which was probably a 24-footer, engine broken, grown over with shells and other sea animals. And it had a live baby bird, a dead turtle, some turtle shells, fish leftovers and it was in pretty bad condition.

And there's tragedy in this tale. There were two people on the boat when it set off from Mexico to El Salvador in September 2012, but Jose said his companion had died several months earlier. Little is known about the circumstances, as so far he's had to draw pictures to communicate with people on the remote Pacific island because they can't understand Spanish. Locals have been nursingthe long-haired, bearded stranger back to health and Ola Fjeldstad says Jose's doing much better:

Ola Fjeldstad, anthropology student:

He's gained a lot of strength. He's been eating a lot of food, fish, rice, fruit and drinking coffee. He's in a lot better shape now. He's able to walk around by himself. He's cracking jokes!

There are good reasons to be cheerful; had he missed the Marshall Islands, it could have been another 1,000 or so miles before Jose would have had any hope of hitting land again. a man alone at sea for more than a year, killing animals to stay alive. That's what Jose Salvador Albarengo from Mexico says happened to him when he was trying to sail to El Salvador.

Summary:

Jose Slvaador Albarengo form Mexico stayed alone at sea for more than a year, killing animals to stay alive. This happened when he was trying to sail to El Salvador. Also there were two people on the boat  when it set off from Mexico but his companion had died several months ago.

Opinion:

It's amazing, it's all that I can say!  The capacity of humans isincredible, more than we think that we can really do. Probably you can't think that if you will find yourself in this situation you would probably die. But we need to trust in ourselves. Don't give up. This news shows us it! If your decied to do something  yourself,  you can do it if you really want it. Only you need the most important thing : trust in yourself. Because if you don'then, who will? ¨Don't let the noise of other peoples opinions drown out your inner voice¨- Steve Jobs-.

Vocabulary:

Adrift: (of a boat) moving across the water but not controlled by anyone.
Emaciated: thin and weak because of extreme hunger or illness.
Harrowing: extremely frightening or upsetting.

Is your smartphone giving you wrinkles? 'Techneck' caused by constantly looking down at gadgets

"We all know smart phones are zapping our free time, our sleep and even ruining our sex lives but it seems they are responsible for the demise of our looks as well.

Whether it is on the daily commute, at our desks or even lying in bed, we are constantly looking down at our gadgets.

All this screen gazing means tech-obsessed Britons could be ageing faster than ever. As the head is constantly bent downwards a new wrinkle appears around the neck and it’s not helping our backs either.

Labeled the 'Techneck', the wrinkle around the neck and chin is caused by the modern day compulsion to always be checking handheld devices and computers.

Joining the likes of 'laughter lines', 'crows' feet' and 'worry wrinkles'; the 'Techneck' is the latest face furrow and was identified following a surge of neck-related enquiries for treatment.

CACI, experts in non-surgical facelifts, have noticed the emergence of the new wrinkle amongst tech-obsessives and are offering to combat it with a treatment called the Microlift.

Dean Nathanson, Managing Director of CACI international commented: 

‘We're a hard working nation and our hectic everyday lives mean that keeping one's head down, be it buried in work emails or in an e-reader, is completely the norm.

‘Recently we noticed a surge in enquiries for our product, specifically to combat lines around the neck area."

Summary:

Clinics  are seeing a rise in patients wanting to fight lines around the neck. Experts believe the wrinkles are caused by staring down at phones. Also we are a hard working nation and  we always need to read emails or  work with computers or phones. This is completely normal. So they call the wrinkle: Techneck.

Opinion:

Everybody knew that this was coming. Because all  acts have their consequences. If we use the phone a lot ,we will seems  older than we really are. But I don't care about it, all people will have it for that reason, all the world will seem older. so if everybody has  the same problem the society won't fix this. And other reason is that I'm sure that  next week the technology will create something to avoid it or  overcome the wrinkle. Even though, we can see that  technology creates  bad habits and they affect our health. In conclusion , modern is not always  progress.

My research work is based on the seven flaws of memory. As a theoretical frame I go in depth about all these mistakes from the psychological point of view. But also I research about biological bases. I want to know our ¨machine¨, the machine that makes us who we are. So I think that the best option is to talk about the memory that without it we can’t remember all the experiences, the good memories, all that we did. All is in our mind. However the memory is very extensive, for that reason I decided to concentrate on only talking about the seven flaws of memory. With the information I could create a map showing the situation of memory. It ‘s rather important because we see that memory is in all places. For my practical work I confirmed some hypothesis of Daniel Schacter. In the experiments I proved that we remember more negative experiences, that the memory is narrative, that people have the tendency to make flaws in attribution of words, and  a tendency to improve  marks, if you consider that you have good results.

Can internet change the world for the better?

Nowadays our society depends on internet. All the ages and in the great majority of the countries use this global network connecting millions of computers. That’s why we are going to discuss the benefits and the challenges of the internet. 

First of all, internet brings to us lots of benefits like getting the information that we want and when we want. Moreover, it helps people to communicate to each other quicker. 

In contrast, it has some flaws. For example, it creates dependency; it’s like a drug, if you don’t pay attention, you get addicted. Besides with all the things that you can find in it you create your world, you became unsociable. And the worst thing of all is that it cuts down our imagination. You don’t need to think for yourself because you find all the things done.

 All in all, can internet change the world for the better? This is our question to conclude this discussion essay. In our opinion some things get better and some things get worse. We think that internet is improving our world in a good way but we can’t depend on it because if we do, we will lose our relationships and also the imagination.

Social class

In the 18th century  the destination of social class was marked like nowadays. I mean that if you compared the society of 18^th century and the “modern times” it is not so different. The prejudice between different classes continues. The nobles were the actual politicians, people with a good position, Duquesa de Alba… So the nobles felt better than the others (the poor people, the actual workers with a low salary). With these feelings it is obvious that  prejudice was created towards others. But in the novel Mr. Darcy, finally, he breaks the  social walls between Elizabeth and him because he fell in love. The differences between the social classes and all the prejudice will continue because they have  exsisted for too long together.

Summary:
In 2023 there will be humans on Mars. Four (2 men and two woman) of 40 astronauts will go  to the red planet. None of them will return to the Earth . Astronauts will expose themselves to radiation levels that could increase their risk of developing cancer. 100.000 people are eager to go to another planet.

Opinion:

In my opinion this is amazing, it means that humans will start to live on another planet. So if in the Earth´s future something terrible happens some fortunate people will be able to travel to another planet. Our future planet. But I can't imagine which type of people can leave all they have in life andonly live with four people the rest of your life! It's so strange but exciting at the same time.  If I will have the opportunity to go I'm sure that I will not able to do that. I'm sure that I would be bored with only 3 other people, they will be too stressing for me.  I recommend you to clik at the link and watch the video!
Do you think you could go and live on Mars?
