Gone
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?
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.
- 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.

My name is Elisa Noemi Quijano Novelo and I was born on February 25th, 1989 in Merida Yucatan,Mexico. Actually I have 19 years old and I’m studying the career of Marketing and International Business in FCA.
Since my 15 years old I have migraine and my life isn’t very easy for that reason. Always I have to fight with the pain and sometimes the pain is more than I.
I’m in an apostolic group and this group is an important part of my life. I love my service in this group and I’m going to be in there for much time.
About my family I have four sisters, one brother, my parents and four nephews.
Besides I have boyfriend, his name is Juan Ramon and I love him so much and the next day 14 we are going to have five months together.
The Mona Lisa
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.
Euthanasia
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.
