What do you think about the technology?
Technology has changed notable in the last century. Technology has also changed the way of thinking, and life of people in the entire world. We can say that some of the advances of technology have helped us, but also some others have brought us some problems, even with our own bodies and with the planet too.

Is technology good or bad?
In my opinion technology is increasing day by day with new different things. People have to take technology like a form of living, because it is easier to do many things with it, for example the internet that has helped us to search many things and you don’t have to go to a library every time you need it. But maybe most of persons have not realized what technology is making to our planet. Now at day there are so many things that affect nature, for example all the factories that dump their wastes to the oceans and seas making most of the species die.

Should technology continue advancing?
Yes but balance way because technology advances give us a big support in our daily life. But we have to remember that is not bad to take it in use, always you don’t depend on it. You cannot compare technology with a human mind. You cannot forgive how important is our planet and take care of it.

Imigration policies in Costa Rica

In my opinion immigrant laws in Costa Rica for immigrants are unused. The government needs to create more or at list use the ones that are all ready approved. Migration is something that is increasing and that is a fact. There are different types of stereotypes these variants depend on which country the person comes from.

I think that all of these stereotypes are wrong in the majority we need to lead these stereotypes apart and stop jogging immigrants. But also the government of Costa Rica needs urgently to create more laws to control in an the immigration in Costa Rica in a very efficient way.

Letter for the sello verde of Escats

Dear organizer:

The intension of this letter is to congratulate your excellent work organizing the “sello verde” the Escats Band. It took place on July 20 with a price of 3000. I think that is excellent to support national talents like in this case Escats. I like that you never forget the music in the sellos verdes like last term when you organized a concert of electric sounds that was a great sello verde.
I think that the ticket had a reasonable price considering their hits and how many much time they play. Maybe the only thing I didn’t like was when they sang “She will be loved“because why they play that song when they can play something composed by them. I would prefer if they only play their own material.
In summary instead of “she will be loved “all the other things were perfect the synchronization, the audience, the price and the quality of band. I like how ULACIT support national talent in all kind of arts. So continue organizing like this.

Best wishes
Luis Medrano Sorto.

North America traditional dish

Every nation has its own traditional ditches, in this essay I will comment about traditional ditches in United States. I will talk about the most traditional ditch in my opinion. This one is the apple pie. I think this ditch represents very well the culture of United States because we always see it in every North American’s TV show.

This ditch was invented around the 1381. At that time the pies were very different comparing with the ones in the present. The difference is that the first’s ones didn’t have sugar, because in that year’s sugar was very expensive. The apple pies with sugar were created in the 16th century. The apple pie had been prepared with lots of different ingredients throw the years, but it had been evolving in a very delicious way. It also have people whom don’t want these recipes to be discover.

In summary the apple pies had being part of the culture of United States since the early years. This has of consequence the creation of the best traditional dish in United States. The ditch with most history in all times.

Homeschooling

In these paragraphs, I am going to talk about home schooling. Home schooling is when a child receives classes at home. These classes are given by its own parents or by a tutor. Parents decide to do these because their child had a specific problem or just because they think that way they would learn more. Home schooling has advantages as well as disadvantages.

Some disadvantages of home schooling are all the sacrifices, efforts, and time that parents have to give their child while teaching them. This time can affect the family’s environment because parents would not have time for their own and may cause some troubles between them. Also home schooling affects the child because it would be difficult for him to make friends and have some social life. These can affect the child self esteem and it can cause difficulties for making friends in the future.

Homeschooling have some advantages as well, it has a flexible schedule so the child doesn’t have to wake up too early and it can satisfy its needs. Other advantage is the individual attention that the child gets, so this helps him to understand better. Home schooling is a hard choice that parents have to take because it can either benefit a lot their child or not help his or her at all. In my opinion the best education is at a normal school because the child gets the chance to make friends and gain many experiences for the future.

Community Service

Community Service is an important thing to do in life. When we, young people, think about community service we think of hard work with no pay. We don’t realize the importance of it and how it could change or affect someone else’s life. If we start volunteering for our communities it could make a big difference.

Community services bring a lot of benefits besides helping others. It can help improve our creativity and self esteem. We can also learn to be thankful for all the things we have, and help young people stay out of drugs.

For me is like a way to give back the favor of education and maybe at first we think is bored but in some cases we finish learning things for life and feel to do it.

Living longer good or bad?

Longevity has advantages and disadvantages. There are lots of thing to consider in both sides for example if you have dreams you will have more time to make them true and that will be the advantage but the disadvantage will be that maybe you will be bored of not reaching your dream. You will be able to meet almost all your family and be glad to feel that you all ready left a legacy on earth, having the opportunity to know your great grandsons must be very significant.

In other side you will have the opportunity to see technologic advances with the years maybe you’ll like it or maybe you won’t be capable to use it. Living long can be excellent if you keep healthy because living without health if more similar to hell that way you will see everybody doing all and you will be incapable reason of your health. Of course you control your health with your lifestyle, so if you want to get old and in good shape you must do exercise and eat well.

Longevity is good or very good for some persons and bad or awful for others, I think that it depends a lot to your way of see things because if you are positive you’ll see only good stuff but if you are negative you’ll see bad thing.
