Summary response about the Story of Stuff


       In this story the speaker talk about economy and recycling. The story of stuffs exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and call us together to create a more sustainable and just world.
       
      The story of stuff is a great documentary because if we stop and think more about what are happen in the world maybe we can change some behavior and bad thinks are happen every day. The materials economy into a system composed of extraction, production, distribution, consumption, and disposal. The speaker explains to us how the cycle process work and what can do. This process makes a lot of toxics such as dioxin who is the most toxic man made substance known to science.
      
      Therefore people are doing the same process every year, month and day they buy clothes electronics products at the same time throw out the old and then it goes to the same cycle process.  The speakers mention that the world populations are consuming 30% of the world’s resources and creating 30% of the world’s waste. The story is about how to save the world or which way we have to take to have a better planet, but the speaker talk about the how taxes influence too in this process.
      
       In conclusion in my opinion this is the best way for think more about what we need buy how we have to use our stuffs instead of throw way to buy the same thing, but just more fashion. I have to say that this story affected to me because I love buy new things even if I have the same but an old, I will buy just to have a different color. We have to be worry about the planet where we are living now and how will be over 30 years.

Summary Lonely Together


      Lydialyle Gibson, from University of Chicago Magazine wrote in an article about people lonely people. He wrote the article about the book which was wrote by a psychologist John Cacioppo the book “Loneliness”. In this book Cacioppo said advances a novel theory for this elusive emotional state. He said people who get stuck in loneliness have not done anything wrong, but none one is immune to feelings of isolation. Furthermore he explains about the being lonely is not the same as being alone.
     In his book Cacioppo clarify” lonely people can be surrounded by coworkers, neighbors, friends, and family they have sense that their relationships do not meet their social needs. Cacciopo believes that this powerful evolutionary force binding come an extremely period of time. Where they relied on for food, shelter, and protection, to help them raise their young and carry on their genetic legacy. Loneliness can work stimulating people to reach out to those around them. The book says also loneliness varies from person to person, there are extroverts and introverts.
     Gibson wrote about Cacioppo research loneliness disease, where researchers suggested that “social support” from friends and family might foster a sense of meaning that promotes health, and encourage loved ones to exercise, eat better, sleep more, and drink less. In this research Cacciopo says does not matter what social species they are talking about, all the way down to fruit flies, if you isolate them they will die earlier. This research shows that loneliness predicts not only depression but also higher blood pleasure and increased cortisol, a hormone released in response to stress.
     The reason for this rise in social isolation are well documented American people life is less rooted and more hectic now than in the past. That study helped inform a new project working with sociologists.
     In conclusion Cacioppo and three other coauthors gave the solution for four types of loneliness. He advised readers to reach out, even in small ways, to those around them, to volunteer, to say hello to someone at the grocery store or the library, and eventually to find compatible, fulfilling friends to open their lives.
     Finally, in my opinion I am surprising with some points that he mention in the article such as “the loneliness predicts not only depression but also higher blood pressure and increased cortisol, a hormone released in response to stress” because I never had a personal experience with loneliness people. I am agree with all points about loneliness people now I know how I have to be in this situation. The most impressive point was the percentage they found and the solution for loneliness people.

Is day care beneficial for children under the age of five? Should parents stay home with children for the first few years of life?

Could I ask for two years leave in my job to take of my child? Or after one month they can go to day care? Some parents ask in the job if they can get leave to take care day children after born. However I think this is important parents take care they child during one year. In some jobs parents cannot take leave because they don’t give. Another case is man can take leave just for few months, such as one, or two month and woman five or six month. Children should not go to day care before under the age of five for several reasons.
The first reason is children need feel affection between parents because is the first days of life such parents can stay at home take care, talk with their child.
The second reason is if there have many children daycare workers could be impatient to take care for them. For example; “ one day in daycare the a little girl was crying all the time, so the girl who was taking care of her give  too much milk and after put the child to sleep without belching and the child die”  
The third reason is if the children go to daycare early they do not will learn more with their parents, and the risks of have allergies, or some health problem is greater.
Opponents say children should go to daycare because the parents do not have too much time to stay at home with their child. I agree daycare could be beneficial such help parents when they are working, but this is not the best option because the disadvantages are greater than the advantages. The care cannot be the best, the children can get allergies.
When the child is three or four years old because at this age they have learned a lot from their parents. For example; child who is four years old if they suffer abuse in daycare, when they came to home will talk with parents about what happen. Also child is able to spend time with others children, learn things that parents do not have time to teach them.
Therefore, parents cannot stay at home just taking care of the child, but the important point is education, that comes from the parents. Daycare is not the good way to parents who do not have much time bring their children. We just have to think about they can be safe or cannot be safe in daycare because is a problem, which we cannot say they are very good there.

rewrite Angola and the United States

What are the differences between Angola and the United States? They both have a big difference, some similarities exist. Iam from Angola, and I came to the United States to graduate. Angola is very different from the United States.

The first difference is educational and teaching conditions. Angola does not have the same conditions as the United States. Depend what is students major. If they want graduate in law they can graduated there. If they want to be a computer engineer they can, but is poorer in high technology. Many people from Angola comes to the United States to study or start a new life in such a different ethnic culture.

The second difference is the climate Angola has a tropical.The climate in Angola varies considerably from the coast to the central plateau and even between the north coast and the south coast. The climate in the northern of the United States parts of them experience winters with heavy snowfall, but the summer are pleasent. In the southern part of them has extremly hot summer and comparatively tolerable winters.

Another difference is the their size. The United States is bigger than Angola. The United States has fifty states, and Angola has eighteen states. It is a big difference Angola has a coastline on the South Atlantic Ocean. Comparatively, the area is slightly less than twice the size of Texas. The United States takes up a significant portion the continent, so most Americans have visited only a few of the fifty states.

Finaly the relationship between Angola and the United States began in 1993 after of independence of Angola. How do the United States and Angola began the relationship? Angola is a country rich in resources. In north of Angola there has a lot of oil. I think that one country helps another. This is very important, and Angola has diamonds, oil, copper, and others resources. America has high technology this is fundamental to help Angola in economic and social political problems, because the United States had independence much earlier than Angola. Although Angola and the United States are on different continent and they have different culture,size,climate, they have a good economic and social relationship despite the diference.
