Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is defined as physical aggression, psychological abuse, verbal aggression, unwanted sexual contact, destruction of property, control of money, and social isolation. Normally it is exercised in children, adolescents and, women with whom they live. Some cases of violence creates a kind of emotional dependency by the affected person , thus creating a kind of Stockholm syndrome, which occurs mostly in battered women.
Physical aggression is the most common and obvious, while psychological aggression is detected with greater difficulty, the latter being one of the most terrible. Because it makes that the victims presented a strong trauma, where normally is exceeded only with professional help.
Many organizations have tried to end the problem, but there are still thousands of cases. I think the only solution to end this problem is to improve education, so that we can make that future generations do not exhibit this problem.

Global Warming

Global Warming

Global warming is a phenomenon of rising temperatures in Earth's atmosphere and oceans. This issue is bringing with itself a big number of consequences, both for people and for animals and nowadays many people are conscious the harm that our planet suffer and they continue polluting the environment.
Some countries have been concerned about this situation and have taken serious steps to prevent this problem. For example the Kyoto Protocol on climate change, which is an international agreement that aims to reduce emissions of six greenhouse gases that cause global warming: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide ( N2O), plus three fluorinated industrial gases: hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6).
I think one of the solutions to prevent this problem is to encourage a good education for future generations, so that these are adapted to keep the city clean and promote reforestation, because this is the best way to care our planet.

Globalization of Diseases

Modern means of transportation take people to travel around the world; they carry diseases moves around the world too. One example is AIDS/HIV. This disease has spread throughout the world. According to the World Health Organizations, “As of 2004, an estimated 1,039,000 to 1,185,000 persons in the United States were living with HIV/AIDS, and an estimated 39.5 million people worldwide are living with HIV West Nile Virus” (“Globalizations and Diseases”).

The Wets Nile virus is another example. Humans can be infected through the bite of an infected mosquito. According to the CDC this virus is, “The most severe type of disease due to a person being infected with West Nile virus is sometimes called “neuroinvasive disease” because it affects a person´s nervous system” what it`s very dangerous. Also this virus was reported in animals like, horses, dogs, cats, bats, chipmunks, skunks, squirrels, and domestic rabbits (wikipedia). The virus has spread throughout many countries becoming part of the Globalization of Diseases.

The current “swine flu” or H1N1 virus is another good example. This disease started in Mexico but faster it spread all around the world. Margaret Chan, the World Health Organization's director-general, declared a "public health emergency of international concern” because there were many cases around the world and each day were increasing. In Addition, this dangerous virus has infected million of people around the word becoming another disease which humanity has to be aware and try to prevent it.

Letter

Thursday June 3, 2010

Dear organizers:

I think the third week was a great pleasure for all the ULACIT’s students because it was a week of many activities, which produced much attraction, not just engineering students, but also to students of all professions in general.

The talks that were given were excellent, the one I liked was that of HP, for me it was the most organized and the exhibitor provided a lot of confidence, thus achieving the participation of all students.
However, the activity on Wednesday 26 May on the literature was very disorganized, because there was not enough room for the large number of students showed up. I think it had been better that the activity was presented at the auditorium. But the talk was of great interest because we realized that it is better to read for interest and fun, not for obligation. We all know that reading is very good, but we almost never do that , the reading goes beyond practice, I think it's a way to use our imagination and experience unique moments.
Finally it is important to have strategies for focusing on different things, either reading or other activities that help us to improve our knowledge.
Despite various problems that arose in these activities, I think it was very enriching for all students and hope to continue giving each term with better organization.

Sincerely yours,

Fiorella Arroyo A
