Legalization of Marijuana.

While this issue is considered controversial among societies, we must be aware that times change and with it brings major renovations that benefit the entire population, therefore, we want to expose our points in favor of the importance that such a simple action such as the legalization of Marijuana.

The rate of criminalized often it is associate with illegal substances known as drugs, when the government considered illegal increases the chance that your market is more interesting for the antisocial, and that legalizing this plant will reduce traffic index harmful products illegally, because although the common cigarette is also a substance harmful to health, which is legal does not cause anti-social problems in society.

This plant is also used for many functions such as the manufacture of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, automotive parts, colognes, beer, cream, clothes, all based on cannabis. In addition studies supported by the corporate health worldwide, have shown that as medicine is very effective in asthma, changes psychiatric and to treat severe pain of cancer and many medical centers are using this plant in their treatment.



Not all marijuana or cannabis should be automatically considered criminals, drug traffickers or dysfunctional people, the main effect of consumption it's to be relaxing, so you tend to become more passive and enters a state of peace and harmony with the environment and the world around him, so it helps to curb violent criminal networks that occur because of the traffic and consumption.

Today we have a more open mind and criticism from various points of view regarding the legalization of drugs, especially marijuana, as this is a natural plant that provides the same type, which helps our body and our mental health to improve and try to be better every day, remember that nothing is wrong if there is no excess.

Globalisation and the emergence of Chagas disease:

The Chagas disease initially covered only impoverished rural areas of Latin America, due to migration, this disease has been first to be important in large cities throughout the Americas and later in non-endemic countries.

Because many infected infants have no obvious symptoms at birth, but the current treatment is very effective and better tolerated than when treating adults with chronic phase (less effective and more adverse events), it is important that programs control could be established throughout the country, since it would avoid future complications of the disease in affected children, we would increase their quality of life and also decrease future health expenditures because this pathology.

In conclusion human migrations hanprobocado debeido disease spread to globalization. A globalized world, health systems should get used to this and have to face the challenges posed populations.

global communication

ULACIT, San José, Costa Rica
Mr. Speaker
December 12, 2010

Dear speaker:

The concept of  global communication can be understood as the clear impetus to control the delivery indemnificatory statements both external and internal, this idea certainly needs to take into account technological resources, equipment and tools available within the communication process.

Achievement as a global communication at the service of hegemonic predominance of ideological manipulation and control purposes of accumulation, the logic of reproduction of a non-ethical.

Global advertising sells concrete products but mostly sold-judgmental, status aspirations, ways of thinking and interpreting the facts, and political propaganda is a great marketing fair: it offers all kinds of goods and are offered as ideas, programs, people.

Sincerely
Maria Mena Cabezas.

The global atmospheric warming

The global atmospheric warming is a natural phenomenon that keeps earths temperature by trapping some of the energy from the sun. With increasing temperature, in the atmosphere, land and oceans global warming occurs
Into the cause:

• Melting polar

• Extreme winters in Europe

• Flooding

• Changes in weather

• More intense storms

• Spread of diseases

                                                       • Water temperature Increaser

                                                        • Deadly heat waves

Which occurs more global warming, The most are affected countries like Mexico and USA, due to the high pollution in these cities and the lack of forests ,that purify the air. If a global problem which must be treated with great caution and raise awareness in the population of the importance of nature conservation.

In conclusion, the climate always has changed but the problems are due to climate change in the last century, the pace of these changes is abnormally accelerated to such an extent that is already affecting the planetary life and to continue so may the world collapse

The Blind Side

This movie was about a boy who doesn`t have a home, he was apart to his mother when he had eight years old because she had addiction problems, and he had the lucky to find a good family.

About Mike’s education, before he doesn`t have studies so, hi tries to go in a Christian school but, he had bad grades and the courses was very difficult to understand, so her new family help him to upgrade all the classes, taking an extra class at home with particular teacher, finally he graduate from school and had a schoolarship in Mississippi’s College.

In the beginning Mike lived in a shelter since he had 7 years, but he always leave this place looking for his mother, but she was drug addict and she said to him :-“close your eyes and count 10” in the same moment the police get home to take him to the shelter again.

When he knows Leigh Ann and her family, they give it to him a home, a bed, clothes, all he needed, and his life change completely, he knew it about a real family and he never felt anything again.

Mike’s personality, was very quiet person, he never talk to much with anybody, he was very shy and everybody pay attention to him, but after with stay with the new family he got more self-confidence, and he improve all his qualities like a person.

Finally, this movie had a god message, the family is the most important thing that we can have because we can improve in all what we can’t like school, personality, and have a home, a bed, know about a real family is necessary to have all what we want.

The struggle toward success

The struggle toward success depends on us and our positive mind. Are our thoughts which we have acquired during the course of our lives that determine whether we succeed or if we fail in a venture.

This is the case I will tell them:

This is a small but very harmonious family in San Carlos. This family did not have much money to bring food home, but thanks to the hard work of their parents that they never lacked food or clothing, could also go to school.

Thanks to the efforts of their parents, these children could overcome and today and are professionals, who help their parents and not lacking anything.

I believe that poverty is not an obstacle for anyone who wants and strives to be and it does, everything depends on you and do things with love

Domestic violence

When we talk about domestic violence, we must take into account not only the physical but psychological abuse. The people who suffer from domestic violence have very low self-esteem, depression and are very timid. Today the domestic violence cases are very common in Costa Rica, is something that can happen and indeed sometimes happens to people who consider themselves religious and cultured in society and of the best family, because this is a condition psychological that must be treated by professionals.

In Costa Rica there is the law on the criminalization of violence against women, which helps women suffering from violence, their homes, but this is not an impediment to more women suffer daily violence and death.

I think we should raise awareness and promote better education for our children, this in order to avoid the future violence in our homes.

Immigration, economical benefits

Immigrants can help a country improve economy. One of the reasons is the greater supply of unskilled workers. Studies indicate: “…that because most immigrants occupy low-paying, low-skill jobs, their presence are complementary”. Migrants tend to do the hard job that anyone wants to do. For example, the high concentration of undocumented workers in the agricultural industry keeps food prices relatively low. Another reason is that immigrants and their children are inclined to be younger than the natives.

 Because of this, continued or greater immigration can improve the social security. Also they can obtain jobs that are needed in the country under the “employment preference” category.

This are advantages because satisfies economical and educational possible requirements of the nation.
