                                               Effect of technologies over our lives performance.

The new technologies have affected our day a day life.

28th April of 2016

Have you seen the new technologies that our children use?

We all know that our society is changing and we are changing too,just like this we have changed our way of study or to practice our favorite sport.

The technology used in the present has pros and cons, this is because when studying you can use the technology to make your learning faster, or to have items via internet. The problem with this is that almost all of the people that use this media to learn usually finish playing or just not paying attention.

In other cases this can become in wealthy problems because of the sedentarism this way to study develop in humans.

Talking about sports there seems to be the same. Nowadays we can see how the technology can improve the sports, for example in terms of rugby, we can use the technology to rate our performance with  a little artifact on our back when playing , or to watch new techniques in the internet, so as you can see there are a lot of ways to improve our sport performance with the technology.

On the other hand we have the problem, we usually stop doing sports because of the technology, for example we want to go running, but we are playing a video game, so we stay playing and we don't go out to run, there is where technology affects our sport performance.

Just how the great economist Kaynes said, "The technology is our final start", this explains how the technology will help our progress, but the society will destroy with the passing years.

In conclusion, we asume that the new technologies have changed our society in favor. but if our society makes bad use of it, it will affect our learning and sport performance as a solution of this weakness we must teach and improve the good use of these new technologies.

                                                                                                         Thursday 28th of April 1975

Today I went to the speech of Jim Morrison were he talked about "whoever controls the media, controls the mind", he talked about how someone that we don't know, can control us via the social media. I think he is totally correct because when someone posts something offensive in Facebook it can affect our lives only because he used the social media, another example, if the creator of Facebook or any social media, closes that page, most of the people will be affected because for a lot of people the social media is they life, so they would feel bad for losing their social life. Another important example he mentioned in the speech is that in the media , a lot of information is going around, and we all believe this is true. This is another reason that "whoever controls te media , controls the mind" because someone can give wrong information in the media and this information spread all over the world, and it can be a tragedy , this can affect our lives, our minds and everybody's life, being this information wrong or false.

In conclusion, we can see between all the examples how the media can control our minds, and the one that controls it must do it in the right way so he benefits the society and doesn't affect negatively our development of life.

Personal Response

                                                      Its google a good tool in our lives?

Backrub, known as Google now a  days is a world famous internet page, Where you can find everything that the human race has known. Google was founded 1995 With the name of BacRub and 3 years later was the famous searcher in the world.

The technology is progressing and in my opinion Google helps us to make this process, making our day a day easier and faster, this foams website is an important tool for everyone : students, teachers, parents, workers. But happens with the little kids?

One of the google problems is that everyone can search everything, this is a serious problem. I personally imagine a little kid in a computer searching inappriopate things on google, things that aren't appropriated for his age, things that their parents must teach when the years pass. The bad part of Google can be fixed by giving the parental control or something like that, to prevent the risks.

In conclusion Google is the perfect tool for busy people because of its fast and useful service that this page provides us with in our daily life. On the other hand we must take care of whet we search and what the little kids search.

reservation tasks

An Indian reservation is a legal designation for an area of land managed by a Native American tribe under the US Bureau of Indian Affairs, rather than the state governments of the United States in which they are physically located. Each of the 326 Indian reservations in the United States are associated with a particular Nation. Not all of the country's 567 recognized tribes have a reservation, some tribes have more than one reservation, some share reservations, while others have none. In addition, because of past land allotments, leading to some sales to non-Indians, some reservations are severely fragmented, with each piece of tribal,individual, and privately held land being a separate enclave. This jumble of private and public real estate creates significant administrative, political, and legal difficulties.

Animal farm

Good morning, or should I say bad morning? Friends today I want to make you think about a heavy, very heavy problem, he is around 80kg and he drinks whiskey. The problem we have is our dictator, Napoleon. Does any of the present animals know what this horrible animal? If he is still an animal, because he drinks whiskey, use human’s cloths and he sleeps in a bed. This are not the good things he had made, if you think this is bad hear this, he killed animals , for example out big friend boxer who was supposedly going to see a medic, but the true is that he was sold by Napoleon to a glue factory, he spend the money in whiskey. Do you remember the wind mill?, all that food we collected was sold, that is why we were so hungry, all the money was obviously used to buy whiskey. If all this horrible things give me the right to be against Napoleon Do I have to mention that he changed the old major statements, for example old major said: "No animals should sleep in beds”, but he added “without sheets” so he sleeps now in a bed. All this made me think and we must make to Napoleon all the bad things he made to all of us, don’t let them eat, work hard, suffer, and finally die how our friend boxer did. All this will liberate our farm and we will be in the lead of snow ball who have a secret hours near or farm, he will lead us to a proper future, long live the animal farm!

Corrected writen assignement

Dear Rahim Khan,

 

 

I’m writing to you because I need to tell you something very important that happened to a very near friend from whom I have a lot of affection. I decided to tell you this awful event because I can’t stop thinking of it, so coming to America, I decided to tell this to someone, there is where you appear, I personally trust in you so I know you will keep this in secret between you and me.

 

 

This awful event happened the same day that Hassan and I made history winning the Kabul kite tournament. When I cut the last blue kite, Hassan start running that blue kite. After 2 hours he doesn’t come back with the kite, so I start to worry about him, so I make my way to searched for.

 

 

I asked to a Street seller about a Hazara boy with a blue kite, and he said to me that 3 boys were running behind him, in that moment I got scared and I felt resentment, so I started running. Finally I found Hassan in a Street with Assef and his friends, what I saw i there was something I had never seen, Assef was abusing of Hassan, and I saw all and I didint  helped him.

 

 

After that happened Hassan was much timid when he talked to me and I don’t like that, so I started to bother him, because I don’t feel comfortable knowing what happened to Hassan and I didint  help him. This is why in my party I hide my new watch under Hassan’s pillow, and I told my father were I found my watch. My father forgive the hazaras, but they went away because they felt guilty. They went  to Hazarayat after leaving our house, until they left I haven’t seen Hassan. After that I came to usa, so I need to know what happened to Hassan's life, this is the reason why I’m writing to you, because I’m worried about him, and I want to make sure he understands why I wanted to blame him when we were just kids. that was a very hard time in my childhood, after that event my life changed over, I was alone with no friends after Hassan and ali left Kabul , then the soviet soldiers invaded Kabul, me and Baba left Afghanistan and moved to usa. Here Baba worked in a very big gas station where he was in charge of the cash machine. In my case I’m finishing the school in a Little college in San Francisco near my apartment. Actually I’m very happy with my new life here, I met a attractive girl named Soraya, she love my stories. My stories had a big progress with the recommendation’s you gave me, so all is going well to me here, but I miss Kabul, all that precious time I passed in that lovely city, all that good and bad adventures with my best friend Hassan, all those kite tournaments we won with Hassan, and all the kites he run for me, I really miss Hassan and Kabul.

 

 

So all this can show you how much I need you to find Hassan and said what I had said you between this letters, I must thank you and I will wait for your answer.

 

 

Best regards

 

Amir.

Corrected Rationale

The kite runner novel consists of a story that takes place in Afghanistan, were 2 boys, Amir and Hassan pass over a lot of funny and serious problems, this ends when the boys separate, and Amir moves to USA because of the soviet invasion in Afghanistan. Then they remember each other, but Hassan died and Amir goes to Afghanistan to get Hassan's son. My letter to Rahim Khan is related to the story because I include real secenes that happened in the book . My letter goals is to finish the book in other way, because if Rahim Khan tell this to Hassan is posible that he doesent die, and meet Amir. The goal will be reached by the stories that I include in the letter and the solution that I give of the problems that presents in the story. This will be a letter, to the people that had read the book, is a semi-formal register because is between 2 friends.

similarities between book and movie

In the movie we can see a lot of similarities I personally there is no general details the movie doesn’t have, one of the similarities I fond reliable is that Amir have a lot of remembers when he saw the Hassan’s son, he remember his Hassan. Other one is that the events are exactly in the same adore in the movie and in the book. The last one is the cloths that in the book are described, here the cloths are the same, when they describe the cloths that Hassan’s son wear when he dances are the same.

The differences that I found between the movie and the book are not big, the first one is that in the book said that Amir broke 7 bones when he fight with assef, but in the movie he can walk and pass over a Wall and he only got hurt an eye. In the book assfe said to Amir something like he helped the Taliban’s, but I don’t understand this part, but in the movie I don’t hear it. And in the movie we can see a more convinced Amir, I think what he said is very serious and in the book he is more like poor in language theme.

Eager and Reluctant discussion

Eager: Hi Darling, how are you?

 

 

Reluctant: Hello Julio, I am not so good.

Eager: I can’t understand why are you so afraid about this issue, we must take advantage of the modern technology that exist today and this is the easier solution for what we want in our life’s, a lovely Little boy.

 

 

Reluctant: I think you are starting to convince me but the problem is that I do not believe this is ethic, and also the risk that the baby can suffer.

 

 

Eager: There is no risk, Family balancing is a completely safe process don’t worry.

 

 

Reluctant: the decision is taken, It will be a boy.

It’s important to clone a healthy child because there we can success in the belonging of the clones and be sure this will be a secure choice for the humanity.

As a consequence of this ideology the mass have the control to the state, region or country”.

“EFECTO FIFA”

Un gran tema de interés y preocupación que ha estado rondando en las redes sociales es el caso de corrupción en la FIFA, manejada por Joseph Blatter, el presidente de la FIFA reelecto 5 días antes de esta noticia que impacto a el planeta.

Se investiga que Joseph Blatter y 7 integrantes de altos cargos de la FIFA han sido sobornados en una gran cantidad de ocasiones.

Un tema el cual preocupa a todo el mundo en general, ya que la FIFA es la organización más grande del mundo y tiene una gran influencia en como las personas ven a esta entidad. La imagen de esta gran institución queda dañada frente al público, este tema no es nuevo realmente, ya que se conocían casos anteriores en que funcionarios de la FIFA han recibido sobornos desde que se creó la institución. Los investigadores que durante 17 años siguieron las transacciones de la FIFA y encontraron los ingresos no declarados fueron los policías de investigación estadounidenses.

Esta información fue extraída del polémico texto que escribió el escritor y periodista Álvaro Vargas Llosa, su texto es llamado ”La mafia del futbol”, el cual trata de la corrupción que se observa en esta gran institución llamada FIFA y todo lo que la rodea.

Alvaro Vargas Llosa es un reconocido escritor y periodista Peruano, el cual escribe de los temas más recientes y polémicos de la actualidad. Alvaro es hijo de Mario Vargas Llosa Reconocido escritor en américa y en el mundo por su premio nobel de literatura en el año 2010.

Este ensayo se  escribe para poder demostrar lo que sucede con el actual presidente de la FIFA Joseph Blatter y la gran  organización, que desarrolla los eventos deportivos más vistos y en los cuales fluye una cantidad enorme de dinero, la cual está involucrada en la grave situación de sobornos que están siendo investigados.

Sobre este tema surge la siguiente pregunta: ¿Que grupos sociales son marginados en el texto?

 

En este caso los mayores afectados son los jugadores, árbitros, dirigentes, y todas las personas involucradas en este gran deporte mundialmente conocido. Esto no es agradable para los involucrados que son inocentes ya que este tema envuelve a todos y los culpados por este caso de corrupción declarados por la policía de investigación de Estados Unidos, dejan a este deporte y a los dirigentes responsables con una reputación manchada por la gran corrupción que lamentablemente se presenta en esta institución y en el deporte.

 

 

Este tema lo podemos corroborar dando un gran suceso cuando se pasaba por periodo de votación en la FIFA, el tema a discutir era la sede del mundial de fútbol en el año 2022, en este caso el país a elección fue Qatar, este país está ubicado en el Oeste de Asia. Pero había un serio problema con esta decisión, los médicos se oponían por los riesgos que este presenta para los seleccionados y toda la gente que iris a este mundial de fútbol.

El verano en Qatar es sufrido por los turistas, ya que las temperaturas son cercanas a los 40 grados Celsius. Esto es lo que preocupa a el cuerpo médico de la FIFA, los cuales se oponen a arriesgar a los futbolistas a estas temperaturas, ya que se han observado muertes por desmayos en partidos jugados,   lo que ellos tratan es evitar alguna tragedia mayor. Esto fue hablado con Blatter pidiendo que haya un cambio de época para que el calor sea menor y esta fue su respuesta: "Todavía tenemos que definir el momento del año en el que se disputará la Copa Mundial de 2022, pero seguimos adelante con los planes. Como he dicho, sólo un terremoto podría hacer que nos replanteáramos la decisión. Con los elementos actuales, no hay motivos para dar marcha atrás" esta fue la respuesta de Blatter ante la petición de los médicos.
 

Esto es muy sospechoso desde el punto de vista de las acusaciones sobre sobornos a los dirigentes de la FIFA por la compra de su voto, raramente Blatter voto por Qatar siendo un total riesgo para todos y él se niega a cambiar la fecha de este, nadie sabe porque, pero esto está siendo investigado y luego se sabrán los motivos de su decisión. Según investigaciones en Inglaterra serian 5 millones de dólares que pago Qatar a la FIFA para salir electo.

 

Algo que sucedió a nivel nacional es el comentario que realizo Mauricio Pinilla, Volante de la Selección Chilena, ante el caso de corrupción que se presentó en la FIFA. Pinilla, muy molesto por el caso hizo público su comentario en una entrevista previo a un partido, el respondió respecto a la pregunta propuesta por el entrevistador, él dijo: "No podemos soportar este tipo de abusos en este precioso deporte, La pelota no se mancha". Al mencionar esa frase se recuerda a lo dicho por Maradona en el mundial del año 1988. Aquí es donde uno puede darse cuenta de cómo estos casos de corrupción en la organización más grande del mundo puede afectar personalmente a un jugador el cual no creía tener ese punto de vista del deporte que el lleva en las venas y defendería hasta la muerte, según lo dicho por Mauricio Pinilla.  

Un caso que estremeció y planteo dudas en la FIFA fue el caso en las clasificatorias del mundial en el año 2010 cuando Irlanda y Francia disputaban un partido decisivo para ver quien alcanzaría un puesto en el mundial de Sudáfrica. Francia se encontraba un gol abajo de Irlanda, lo cual dejaba a Francia fuera del torneo. Francia, por su desesperación tuvo que utilizar un último recurso, la trampa.En este caso el culpable seria Thierry Henry jugador de la escuadra francesa que en último minuto de partido recibe un balón con la mano, lo cual no está permitido, y logra dar pase con la mano a un compañero para poder anotar el gol. Esto fue un caso que instauro muchas dudas sobre la FIFA, ya que el director técnico de Irlanda no puso ninguna denuncia en contra de la selección francesa por haber hecho esto, es allí donde se supo que la FIFA había sobornado a los dirigentes irlandeses con 5 millones de euros para no denunciar este caso. Esto fue muy desagradable para los jugadores Irlandeses por saber que hubiesen podido estar en el torneo más importante del mundo si no fuese por la tremenda corrupción que los rodeaba, por este caso muchos seleccionados irlandeses renunciaron a la propia selección y olvidaron el tema que tanto los afecto sicológicamente.

 

Finalmente podemos sintetizar que si es que algo puede alterar el orden de las cosas, es el dinero. Es así como muchas clases sociales, son afectadas por la culpa de unos cuantos funcionarios que no respetan el derecho de los jugadores, del público, y a todo lo que socialmente representa este deporte, que se ve muy contaminado en este momento. Lo peor no ha pasado, las generaciones futuras no tendrán opción, si es que ven estos ejemplos de gente supuestamente correcta haciendo este tipo de estafas no aprenderán de buena forma si es que no es detenido, por eso mismo se investigan todos estos casos y posteriormente sabremos como esto se resolverá y así terminar de raíz con este polémico tema.

Fairtrade letter

Dear Juancha,

I’m writing to you because I recently saw in the supermarket a beneficial product called "Fairtrade", this consist in a foundation which searches for independent workers that make a product and the foundation helps them to make their products sell in the UK, this products are more expensive, but they have a guaranteed quality by having the logo. The most of the money that they earn goes to the producers, but a percent is going to the Fairtrade to finance the foundation.

After knowing this, the next time I go to the supermarket and I see a chocolate with the Fairtrade logo I will think about the people with economic problems that make effort to sell the products to maintain their families. The chocolate will be very expensive compared to the normal chocolate, but it is a good benefit to the ones who need it.

I had no idea of this foundation after I saw this logo, but then I search for more information and I got concerned about the farmers that need economical help that we can give, in what Fairtrade has its work.

 

That is why I’m waiting to you, to take care about this theme, so you help the farmers.

Take care and good health.

Source 2: The planet is warming, from North Pole to South Pole, and everywhere in between. Globally, the mercury is already up more than 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius), and even more in sensitive polar regions. And the effects of rising temperatures aren’t waiting for some far-flung future. They’re happening right now. Signs are appearing all over, and some of them are surprising. The heat is not only melting glaciers and sea ice, it’s also shifting precipitation patterns and setting animals on the move.

Some impacts from increasing temperatures are already happening.

• Ice is melting worldwide, especially at the Earth’s poles. This includes mountain glaciers, ice sheets covering West Antarctica and Greenland, and Arctic sea ice.
• Researcher Bill Fraser has tracked the decline of the Adélie penguins on Antarctica, where their numbers have fallen from 32,000 breeding pairs to 11,000 in 30 years.
• Sea level rise became faster over the last century.
• Some butterflies, foxes, and alpine plants have moved farther north or to higher, cooler areas.
• Precipitation (rain and snowfall) has increased across the globe, on average.
• Spruce bark beetles have boomed in Alaska thanks to 20 years of warm summers. The insects have chewed up 4 million acres of spruce trees.

Global warming is already having significant and costly effects on our climate, our health, and our environment.

Global warming has serious worldwide implications, though the type and magnitude of local effects varies considerably by region. This page highlights the consequences of global warming on a broad level.

Unless we take immediate action to reduce global warming emissions, these impacts will continue to intensify, grow ever more costly and damaging, and increasingly affect the entire planet — including you, your community, and your family.

“Times change, we need to change as well” Francois Pieenar always used this phrase to motivate his team, when they were on a problem on the field. This movie is about rugby, in my opinion the best sport all around the world, because you learn how to play in a team, to be perseverant, and how to be friendly and unite with all your team mates. So this is the main idea of the movie, to unite the South African people was divided in 2 parts: the white and the black people. The country wasn’t united for the fault of the racism, this is called apartheid.

 

After 27 years of Mandela in the jail, he was released, the reason he went to jail was because he was in a different political party, in that times that was a crime, they had different ideas of the people when he was released, he postulate to become the South Africa president.

When Nelson Mandela become the president of the South African but, the people doesn’t want him at the lead of the country because they think that a black man who has been 27 years in jail is not appropriated for the South African country. What people don’t know was that Mandela wants a united South Africa, he don’t care much about the economy, because the first thing you need to be a stable country is the unity of the South Africans, You cannot solve the economic problems.

So Mandela used the rugby as an example for the South Africans to make the country united.

The people watch the rugby, but the south African team wasn’t good enough for the people so they don’t take care of this sport, so Mandela start a campaign to make the poorest people know this sport, this campaign consist that the south Africa team  players goes to the poor neighbors and there  teach the boys the basic rugby rules, this gives courage to the players of the team, this was hallowed for the boys and for all the country, including black and white people, watch this great team and finally win the world cup.

 

In conclusion, this movie shows how to be very friendly with your comrades and with all the people you know. This movie teaches you how you can change a country with one thing only you need to have conviction and a thing that all the people loves like in this movie, the Rugby, and not to be gloomy with people who are different with you.

I like this movie and I recommend it to all the people over 13 years, because it have very good actors and scenes, you can see very realist rugby match and you can feel what the springboks fell when they play rugby, so if you can see it, do  it to know about rugby.
