TECHNOLOGY

TECHNOLOGY

Today, in our society we have many technological advances that do more easily our life. And day to day there are more and more different new technologies.

ADVANTAJES

Less time in our work because people invent some thinks that make more easy our work so we has more free time, for example today exist work from home through one of the most important technology advance: internet.

More facility communication many years ago did not exist media, but now we have many different forms to communicate with other people in anywhere, for example cell phone, internet, fax, and more.

Learning More with the technology we have many ways to learn new thinks. There are many programs to help the student since the child until old people and of course in the web we can learn all the thinks.

Increased comfort the technology offers comfort in all areas of the life, in our work, in our hose, in our university, in our society, in the streets.

But also, this topic have bat thinks that is important considerate before using the technologies.

DISADVANTAGES

Less security for example with the social network other people can know all about us and for this can hijack persons and the thieves can steal.

Also, with internet the thieves can get the password of bank accounts and steal money.

Addiction the technology create a serious problem, especially in the child because they start to use every day some technology like video games, computers, cell phone and forget other important aspect in the childhood like rum, play and more.

INMIGRATION

INMIGRATION

Immigration is when the people move from one place to live in another place for different reason.

This reason to the people move can be for find better jobs, for have a good education, to receive quality health services, social services and in general people emigrate to have a better quality of life.

In some countries like United State, Canada or others is very common that other people’s countries come there because these countries are developed. Also in Costa Rica we are the house of many people of other countries especially of Nicaraguan people, and the most person in our country don’t like this and they have some reason but also this in migrations have good aspects.

For example for Costa Rica that Nicaraguan people live in our country have some advantages because this people do the hard work that is necessary and we don’t want to do, also the exchange of some cultural aspects is important.

But we have some disadvantages with the people of Nicaragua, for example the increasing of the population and the social services are worse like in the hospital and the most of this person come here illegally.

Also for the immigrants there are good things like better jobs, better education, and better health services; and bad things such as the discrimination and they have to do the worst jobs and receive lower salaries.

In conclusions immigration is a controversial issue but is a common issue in our country, I think that this process have some good thinks and bad things that we should learn to find the better form to address this issue

HOMEWORK

The teacher use different methods or forms to the students learn better some things of the course and to qualify them, for example: expositions, test, forums, quiz and HOMEWORK.

Homework is like say the same word, a work that students have to do in their house after the class. It can be about a research of one topic that the students do not know or a topic that they know but need learn or practice more.

ADVANTAGES

The student can practice after the class about each topic and so they do not forget easily.

Also, the students can learn about new topics.

They continue learning at home

DISADVANTAGES

In some case, the students copied among themselves their homework so they lose the objective of learn.

Other disadvantage is that is possible that other people do that student’s homework for example the parents, older brothers or friends.

If the teacher assigned many homework may be the students begins to heat the course and not learn nothing.

I think that homework is important to learn but not should be use to qualify the knowledge because may be the student was copy their homework of the other partner's homework.

LIVING LONGER

All people have to live in different stages in our lives when we have very old is when we are in the final stage. Most people hate to think of the idea of being old, especially women by vanity, but after they can think differently when they are old because this age has some advantages, but also being old has some disadvantages.

Some advantages such as: older people have certain rights in our society like: the money given to them, preferred seating and more, also a great advantage is that they can enjoy more time with their family, to know their grandchildren and spend more time with them than with their own children because before they do not can for the work, another advantage is that older people have much knowledge and experience.

But there are many disadvantages for these people for example they start having health problems, some of they need work and in this age is hard to find work, others are abandoned by their families and they need a lot of care and above all psychological support.

Are animals intelligents or not

There are many opinions about if the animals have intelligence or not, some people say that they do not are intelligent because the animals are not able to do some things for example use a computer or use a cell or whatever.

Other reason because some people don’t believe in the intelligence of the animals is because they not have new ideas like internet or other things that the people invent.

But in my opinion the animals are intelligent because they can do some wonderful things for example build they own home, get the food that they need, they can care their family and more. But for me the most important thing about animals are the feelings, they are very special with the person and with themselves

The animals that are considered more intelligent are: the dog, dolphins, parrots, monkeys, chimpanzee, and others, I believe that dogs and monkeys are the most cunning animals, their behavior is considered similar to people.

SMOKE IN ALL PLACE

In our country is possible that will be prohibited smoke in the stress, may be this law is approved by deputies and this option has caused many different views of the people.

My position about this topic is that is important ban the smoke in all places, because the other people who do not smoke to avoid getting be sick can receive more damage that people who yes smoke, everyone is entitled to have a healthy environment and it is clear that if one person being near of other person who smoke do not have the good environment.

There are many diseases caused by snuff, some are not so serious diseases such as allergies to smoke but also, some are very serious diseases like lung cancer, respiratory diseases apparatus, digestive, skin diseases, so it is dangerous to smoke but is more dangerous for people are near of someone who smokes so for this reason I'm agree of banning smoking everywhere.

I think a good option would be to establish places of smoking and nonsmoking places like in some restaurants, so with this we can reduces the risk that people who do not smoke do not breathe the smoke.

“Doña Bella”

Repretel

La Uruca

Dear T.V program:

We are contacting you for the following reason, our problem is that we are disagree with Doña Bella novel that is transmitted by Repretel channel 6 at eight o’clock, because in this program appear scenes related with sex, aggression, domestic violence and some others negative aspects.

We think that these things are not properly to transmit in this time, because the children maybe can see this program.

In the actuality there are many psychological problems, mainly in the young people and we should bring to teenagers another kind of programs that help them to improve the behavior for example educational programs, or programs to reflect, and on the contrary, this program induces the people to have a very liberal life.

We think that it’s important that you change this program to another hour; to try the young people can’t see this kind of problems that can harm the lifestyle of them. We are disagreeing, because these things will affect or influence in negative aspects the life of future generations.

We hope your help!

Thanks.
