Family is the cradle of society. Families are much more than groups of individuals. It is more than groups of individuals that shared a bloods ties. Family have their aspirations, hopes, and goals to archive in life. Families are, or should be, a source of emotional support and comfort, warmth and nurturing, protection and security. Relatives establish strong relationship between all. These relation is a vital valued for our society. Family help to all members to develop social support within sense of reciprocity—a giving and taking of love and empathy by every family member.
Although every family has conflicts, all the family members should feel as though they can express themselves openly, share their feelings, and have their opinions listened to with understanding. In fact, conflicts and disagreements are a normal part of family life and are important insofar as they permit people to communicate their differences and ventilate their feelings.
Family can help to learn how members can deal with future conflicts. Family members with diseases, addictions, or others problem can have a better life and make the process easier for all.
“All of the biggest technological inventions created by man - the airplane, the automobile, and the computer - says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness.”
Mark Kennedy
How many hours a day do you spent with your cell phone or
your computer? Do you ever ask yourself why? Is your family happy with your attitude?
Why do you prefer texting instead of calling? Most
people are worried about new technologies and there development in the near future.
Humanity is progressing into a technological dependent way of life. Humankind is gaining technological knowledge, but is
our society ready for that kind of future? Wall E, showed us the consequences of misusing technology. In Wall E that was unquestionably the producers’message
to us. After watching the movie, we start realizing how technology is affecting our personally. We
become fatter, lazier, and we have found an easy way out of taking responsibility for trashing our planet Earth.
Nowadays, many people are enjoying all the technological
advances of today, but at the same time we are losing the most important
thing, human interaction, we are not talking any more, we just care about the
last post on Facebook or Twitter or any other website that connect us with
many known or unknown people. So many times, we comment on friends’ pictures,
but we do not spend a few minutes to call them, and ask how they are doing. We have been consumed by technology.
We are losing opportunities to be with family and friends. Most people prefer to
go to the gym instead of work
out in an open area.
In brief, we are facing
all these kind of problems, but not all is lost; we all have the opportunity to
change. Rather than texting “I love you,” say it. While you are out forget about any
device, look into your partner’s eyes, and talk to them. Enjoy life, as you are alive.
We are robots. We are human and not technology we every create will be better than us.
“Inventor: A person,
who makes an ingenious arrangement of wheels, levers and springs, and believes
it civilization.”
We all at least
one time in life have heard a name of a worldwide icon of reggae music, Bob Marley.
He was the pioneer for introducing and bringing Jamaican music to worldwide
acclaim. He had given a major contribution to bring reggae to be the center of
interest of all people in the world. Songs such as “One Love” or “No
Woman No Cry” are well known. Bob Marley’s flamboyant style was also
another aspect that attracted the attention of many people and fans around the
world, but most people do not know the meaning of the Rastafarian hair’s
style. The Rastafarian’s movement is a “Way of Life” which is based in African
spiritual ideology. The name Rastafarian means head of hero in Amharic (an
Ethiopian dialect). They adore at Jah (Jehovah), but they see Haile Selassie,
Emperor of Ethiopia, (1930-1974) as their God. They believe in unity and love.
They oppose violence, and love their freedom. They profess a wild way of
life. Most of them are vegetarians. One of the six holy truths is:” The White
person is inferior to the Black person.” When non-Rastafarian people analyzed
all others five truths, they will notice a high level of racism in their
ideologies.
Symbolisms
When humanity
thinks in Rastafarian, the first thoughts that come to mind are dreadlocks.
"…not all Rastas have locks, and not all locksmen are Rastas. It is just a
common characteristic among Rastas, symbolizing deep devotion to their Holy
God.” For Rastafarian dreadlocks is a symbol of insubordination, and freedom.
Another aspect
concerning to Rastafarians is their connection with God (Jah). They believe
that the best way to know ourselves is through their connection with Jah, the
only way to get that connection is smoking Ganja, and the bible said so.
"He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of
Man..." (Psalm 104:14). The Lion is the most important symbol in the
Rastafarian culture.
In brief, The
Rastafarian’s movement is a way of black Caribbean people found to express
their opposition an eras of abuse, slavery, segregation,
apartheid, and isolation. It is a constant protest against the white man
for having uprooted them from their freedom, and brought to a New
World where they lost or their power and hope to live wild and
free. Reggae music is a perfect way of expression of all their feelings.
We all live in a technology
driven world that is fast paced and waits for no one. Nowadays, we are surrounded by a high tech environment. One of these advances is
Nanotechnology. Many of us maybe are familiar with it, but not everybody is in
touch with it. Nanotechnology is the manipulation or self-assembly atoms,
molecules, or molecular clusters into structures to create materials and
devices with new or vastly different properties. It can reduce the size of the
smallest structures to the Nano- scale.
An area of nanotechnology’s
application that looks more interesting to me is agriculture. It is not unrelated
to any of us, all global problems related to feeding; especially in Third
World countries, where agriculture development is still very primitive. Overpopulation is
another issue that greatly affects agricultural development worldwide.
Nevertheless, nanotechnology in agriculture is a perfect way to solve all
agricultural issue. U.S. government plans to increase the potential of
biotechnology for our own benefit. New tools for the molecular treatment of
diseases, rapid disease detection, enhancing the ability of plant, to get more
nutrients. Furthermore, smart sensors and delivery systems with help destroy
virus, and development of better pesticides. Our environment will be more
protected because we will be able to use lowers doses of pesticides that affect
us as now are affecting and the rest of the world. Computers, global satellites, remotes sensitive
devices, and other technology advancements are indispensable in Nano-Agriculture.
Overall, nanotechnology is an
ambitious plan, a new phenomenon ready to transform life and develop in the near future ready to transform many sectors our society. We all have to
be ready for all those developments, and use it for the sake of a new and
better world.
My name is
Yanett Melendrez. My hometown is Havana, Cuba, the bigger island of the
Caribbean Sea. I am happy to be here in America. To be part of the students at
G.C.C, made me feel happy and proud of myself. Therefore, in order to achieve
my goal, I have to organize more all my life. Study English every day, is one
of my goals. For me this is the first time that I took online class. I am still
a little afraid of that, but up to now, I believe that I can do it. I am
working at Southwest Key Program for more than three. I am happy to work there
because I work with youth people, even is not like my job in Cuba, teacher; I
still working with children and I really enjoy doing that. My hobbies are
ready, movies, and travel. I hope, this semester let me have some free time and
enjoy life, as I deserve.
Hi there this me when I get an announcement about blog.
Any way I try to be
focus in what I should do. For me this is my first time that I do
something like this, blog. When I signed for ENG 101 class, I was expecting a
lot of writing,
research, and all kind of stuff that English class usually do,
or better said, I envisage that English class do, but now on I see that this
class is going to be really challenge to me. As usual, I struggled with all my
grammar, and vocabulary development problems, but at the same time, I am happy
to be at this level. In addition, I have another challenge job to do, a blog.
At this point, my ideas about witch topics I can talk about are out of my mind,
but I know that those ideas will come soon. For now, I just started what I
suppose do. Every day, people share
personal information about themselves online, using social media, blogs, and
even email messages. Now I will do the same with my blog. What is going to
happen with my blog? We will see in near future. I hope that all us you
enjoy what I trying to do.
