Activity.
Singing a song.

For one listening I heard the song "Everything" from Michael Buble but the song really like me so one hour later I was singing the song and I sang the song all the next week, really I still singing the song each time that I remember it.

Reflection.
When you were in contact with english you can understand it better and I think that this semester I lerned to be in contact with it and I like it very much because I learned a lot.

English Class

Activity.
Talking with my sister.
My sister talks in english very well so when I need help I go with her to ask. One day I were talking with her about my english class. I told her that it was very difficult to me because I like english but I never practice.
She lived in Boston for a year and there she learned a lot so wheh I tolk with her she told me that if I want she can practice with me. This was a great idea because I know that if I need help I can go with her and I could ask for sometime that I don't understand.
Reflection.
When you practice your english it's more easy and you get more trust.

Do you read it?

Activity.
Talking with Veronica.
Really I don't remember what day was but one day in the SAC I tolk with my classmate Veronica about one listening that I did about the movie "A walk to remember". She said that she had the book of that movie and she told me if I want to read it she could borrowed me. I love that movie so I said yes inmediatly. She told me that if the movie like me I will love the book because is better than the movie.
Some days later she brought the book to school and make a copy for my because the book was of her mom.
Many days later she ask me if I read the book but really I didn't read it because I haven't time to do it and I promised her that I will be reading the book on vacations.
Reflection.
I like talk with veronica because was an excellent opportunity to practice my english.

Gone

Activity.
Listening the song "Gone" from N'sync.

This song is very sad;talks about a man who misses his girlfriend. For him there's a thousand words that he could say to make her come home but the truth is that she left him alone.
He can't get her out of his mind and every moment he is wishing that he could touch her face but the truth remains...she is gone.
He explain that he was trying to be a man and be strong but he ask her that if is something to he can do to change the situation please she tell him because he can't live without her.
By the time he is searching things to do for don't think in her but he has the hope that some day she will be return.

Reflection.
This song was more difficult but I can understan something. I need more practice and maybe in this way I can do better my listening.

Addiction:What can be done about it?

Activity.
Summary about addiction.

An addiction is a physiological or psychological dependence on a substance or activity.Physiological dependence means that the body has become accustomed to a drug and needs these chemicals just to function and is determined when a person experiences tolerance and withdrawal. Tolerance means that the body becomes used to the effect of the drug.Withdrawal occurs when the person stops taking a drug on which he or she is physiologically dependent and experiences painful physical symptoms. Psychological dependence means that a person comes to depend on the feeling received from a drug. The person believes that he or she can control the use of the drug and is not causing any harm.

Intervention.

Means interrupting the downward slide before the addict hits bottom.The addicted person usually meet first with a drug and alcohol counselor and someone from a support group such as Alcoholocs Anonymous to learn about addiction and discuss how they have been affected by it.

Recovery.
Entails 3 important steps: The first is recognize that there is a problem with alcohol or drugs.The second is make the decision to give them up.the third step is to actually remove these drugs from the body.This process is called detoxification and shoul take place under medical supervision.Alcoholism and drug dependence cannot be cured.They can,however, be prevented from progressing further
Treatment Choices.
A support group is a group of people who share a common problem and work together to help each other and themselves to cope with and recover from that problem.Regular attendance at such support groups is the most popular form of ongoing treatment for addictions.Alcohol and drug treatment centers offer a wide range of services:
  • Detox units that help an addict through detoxification.
  • Inpatient treatment centers are facilities where a person stays for a month or more.
  • Outpatient treatment centers.The patient live at home during the treatment but he or she Have to spend a few hours each day at the center.
  • Halfway houses.Offer housing, counseling and support meetings for 6 months to a year.

Codependency.

Some people who live with an alcoholic or drug addict become codependent.Codependents try to protect the addict from facing the consequences of the drug problem. They lie for the addict, lend money and make excuses.Such actions, of course, do not help the addict.

International Culture

Activity.
Reading about international culture.
If people want to be successful in global business, they must understand the cultures of other countries and learn how to adapt to them, or change their practices in different cultures.It's important to avoid business decisions that are based on misconceptions (mistaken ideas).
One cause of misconceptions is ethnocentrism, the belief that one's own culture's way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures.Ethnocentrism can exist in an individual person or in an organization.
To avoid ethnocentrism, it's necessary to study the different elements of culture. These include language, religion, values, customs and material elements.
Language.
The lenguage it's very important for everybody because is the most important way to communicate directly whit other people and people are usually more open in their communication with someone who speaks their language.Other reason is that knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better.
Religion.
Religion influences everything about people, including their work habits. A religion person always think in their religion before do something.
Values and Attitudes.
Values are people's basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong, good and bad, important and unimportant. An attitude is a way of thinking or acting.Values and attitudes influence international business.
Customs and Manners.
Customs are common social practices. Manners are ways of acting that the society believes are polite. Each country have their own customs and manners for this reason International Business need to understand the customs and manners of other countries or they will probably have difficulty selling their products.
Material Culture.
Material culture means the things that people make or own. We need to think about how people make things (technology) and who makes them and why (economics). International business need to consider the country's economic infrastructure, the social infrastructure and the financial infrastructure.
These and other elements of culture help to explain the differences among people of different cultures. Without an understanding of cultures, global businesses will not be successful.
Reflection.
With this reading I can see that for a global business is really necessary know about the different ways to think and acting from the people.

The Mona Lisa

Activity.
Reading about the Mona Lisa
This is probably the most famous painting in the World. It is the Mona Lisa and it was painted by Leonardo da Vinci.
The original painting is the Louvre Museum in Paris.
The paint have two things that surprised at the people: First, people feel the eyes of the painting looking at them wherever they stand, because da Vinci’s model was looking straight at him when he was painting her. Second, people are often surprised by how small the beautiful painting is.
In 1910, the management of Louvre Museum decided that it was necessary to put glass security; a team of glaziers was employed to do the job. One guy of the team was Vicenzo Peruggia. One night a mystery man called Il Signore told Peruggia that he had a plan to steal the Mona Lisa and he asked to help him for money and Peruggia accepted.
Il Signore told Peruggia to find out everything he could about the security systems employed at the Louvre. Il Signore would never had been able to get all the inside information he needed about the Louvre Museum.
Several months after, when the cleaning and maintenance staff arrived to the museum, the three men went where the Mona Lisa was hanging and they take the painting. They have successfully stolen the Mona Lisa.
The police began investigating the theft.
Il Signore never came to collect the painting so Peruggia thought it would be a good idea to try and sell the painting, but when he try to sell it the dealer and the expert from the Uffizi Museum knew that the painting had been stolen and called the police and Peruggia was arrested. The painting was returned to the Louvre.
But where was Il Signore al this time? Nobody knew. Il Signore has six amazing forgeries of the Mona Lisa and he sells it and got much money.
Many people believe the robbery of the Mona Lisa was the perfect crime, but actually the Leonardo de Vinci’s masterpiece will ever be stolen again.
Reflection.
I can learn more about one topic that I been listening but never interesting me but the history about Mona Lisa is really interesting.

Euthanasia

Activity.
Writing about the Euthanasia
The term Euthanasia comes from the Greek words “eu” meaning good and “thanatos” meaning death, which combined means “dying-well” or “well-death”. Euthanasia refers to the practice of ending a life in a painless manner.

Classification of Euthanasia.

Euthanasia by consent.
Euthanasia may be conducted with consent (voluntary euthanasia) or without consent (involuntary euthanasia).Involuntary euthanasia is conducted where an individual makes a decision for another person incapable of doing so.

Euthanasia by means.
Euthanasia may be conducted passively, non-actively and actively. Passive euthanasia entails the withholding of common treatments or the distribution of a medication to relieve pain, knowing that it may also result in death.
Non-active euthanasia entails the withdrawing of life support and is more controversial.
Active euthanasia entails the use of lethal substances or forces to kill and is the most controversial means.
Assisted suicide is an active voluntary euthanasia.

Reasons given for a voluntary euthanasia:

- Choice: Proponents of voluntary euthanasia emphasize that choice is a fundamental principle for liberal democracies and free market system.
-Quality of life: The pain and suffering a person feels during a disease, even with pain relievers, can be incomprehensible to a person who has not gone through it.
-Economic costs and human resources: Today many countries there is a shortage of hospital space. The energy doctors and hospital beds could be used for people whose lives could be saved instead.

Reasons given against voluntary euthanasia:

-Professional role: Critics argue that voluntary euthanasia could unduly compromise the professional roles of health care employees, especially doctors.
-Moral: Some people consider euthanasia of some or all types to be morally unacceptable. This vie usually treats euthanasia to be a type of murder and voluntary euthanasia as a type of suicide, the morality of which is the subject of active debate.
- Theological: Voluntary euthanasia has often been rejected as a violation of the sanctity of human life. Specifically, some Christians argue that human life ultimately belongs to God, so that humans shouldn’t be the ones to make the choice to end life.
-Feasibility of Implementation: Euthanasia can only be considered “voluntary” if a patient is mentally competent to make the decision has a rational understanding of options and consequences.
- Necessity: If there is some reason to believe the cause of a patient’s illness or suffering is or will soon be curable.
- Wishes of family: Family members often desire to spend as much time with their loved ones as possible before they die.
- Consent under pressure: Patients may experience psychological pressure to consent to voluntary euthanasia rather than be a financial burden on their families.
Reflection.
It's good know about a controversial topic like this because you can be prepared for the different opinions from the people.

Humans vs. Primates

Activity.
Comparing humans with other primates.

There is a large gap between primate society and fully developed human culture.However, studies of primates have revealed many similarities.
Many of the differences between humans and other primates are differences in degree rather than in kind.For example, monkeys learn from experiences, but humans learn much more.
Common to monkeys, apes and humans is the fact that behavior and social life are not rigidly programmed by the genes. All these animals learn throughout their lives.
Monkeys and apes can learn from experience.
For monkeys as for people, the ability to learn, to profit from experience, gives a tremendous adaptive advantage, permiting them to avoid fatal mistakes. Anthropologists used to distinguish humans from other animals as tool users, and there is not doubt that Homo does employ tools much more than any other animal does.
Only humans speak.However, evidence is accumulating that linguistic ability is also a quantitative rather than a qualitative difference between humans and other primates, especially gorillas and chimps.
Like people, chimps communicate through facial expressions, noises and body movements.Other primates also use calls to communicate messages to other members of the group.
Although,wild primates use call systems, the vocal tract of apes is not suitable for speech.
Several apes have learned to converse with people through means of Ameslan, used by deaf and mute people.
Humans appear to be the most cooperative of the primates.Except for meat sharing by chimps, the ape tendency is to forage individually. Monkeys also fend for themselves in getting food.
Another diffenrence between humans and other primates involves mating. Human pair.bonds for mating tend to be more exclusive and longer lasting than are those of chimps.
Related to our more constant sexuality, all human societies have some form of marriage.
Marriage creates another major contrast between humans and nonhumans: exogamy and kinship systems.
The systems of kinship and marriage that preserve these links provide a major contrast between humans and other primates.
Reflection.
Humans are very differents to any kind of life in the world because they have a lot of abilities that others don't have

"Marketing"

Activity.
Well I'm going to talk about "Marketing" because this is the career that I course.The purpose of marketing is satisfy the needs and wishes from the people through the offer of many type of products.
One person dedicated to marketing have to know the different ways to convince to customers to buy something.
Marketing offer products, ideas and services to create exchange between people and organizations.
Marketing not only have to concentrate in actually needs and wants from the people, despite marketing have to think in future needs.
In marketing is really necesary divide at the people in segments of market.This mean that for each market there exist different types of needs because people have many kinds of thinking and this do that they need different products.For this reason I can tell that the must important for Marketing are the customers and they needs.
To do an excellent program of marketing it's very necesary considered four important points:Product,Pricing,Promocion and placement.

This activity was very difficult to me because I don't know how to write in english very well and during the activity I can't express that I want to express.

"A walk to remember"

Activity:
I saw the movie "A walk to remember";this movie talks about one popular and rebelious student that is punished with a mandatory service in his school.
During this service he meets a girl very different to him in all aspects but he sees in a need to ask her for help,she accepts with one condition:he has to promise not to fall in love with her.
During the time he spent with her he learned many things and finally he fell in love with her.
She had a list of all the things she wanted to do in her life so he tried to do the things of this list become true.
Finally she tells him that she has leukemia and she is gonna die.He doesn't accept this situation and tries to find a solution but was impossible.
They get married and a few months later she dies.
This movie talks about real love and all the things you can do when you are in love.
"Love is like the wind,you can't see it but you can feel it".And his movie is an example of how love can be a hope of live.
