Noise Pollution

Normally when we leave our homes we found a number of sounds in the environment, some can be very uncomfortable and others that does not affect us much. In cities is where more noise is, and as we move away from the city, the sound decreases. Sometimes these sounds may become uncomfortable and potentially affect the auditory system, but not only that, but the noise can bring other consequences to our body. For example: can affect sleep when we are dealing with noise pollution. Pregnant women can also suffer alterations in fetal development. The constant noise can also cause negative effects on children.

Noise pollution affects us when to sleep, after spend a day surrounded by noise, at bedtime, can affect us because it will be more difficult to sleep. And not only affects us that way, but these sudden noises can awaken people who are sleeping and short sleep time. This may cause the person to unveil, losing sleep and affecting daily activities.

Noise also can have negative effects on fetuses. During development, they are able to perceive and respond to sounds, especially if they are very loud sounds. If the noise is constant in the first weeks of pregnancy may affect their development. If noise occurs after 5 months of pregnancy, children might become intolerant to noise and will mourn on hearing loud noises.

The constant noise affects learning and health of children, when children are educated in noisy environments, they lose their ability to respond to acoustic signals, suffer disruptions in their ability to listen as well as a delay in learning to read and verbal communication. All these factors mean that the child is isolated, making it very sociable.

It is important that everyone know about the effects of noise on the human body, there are many consequences that can bring with it living or spend much time in a place with lots of noise pollution. The noise can be very annoying, and not only that, but harmful to our bodies and health. So it is important that we take preventive measures, such as eliminating sources of noise, or have control of these sources of noise. It is very important to look after our health.

Finding a Niche

The situation that involves the process of immigration has always been a controversial and difficult part of human society. The mixture of political and cultural differences between countries has never provided an easy establishment in a new social environment. It is always a slow and tedious process, in which people sacrifice a lot from themselves in order to ensure a better and stronger future, especially for their families. In a general manner, societies must be more tolerant and open to this people, because it is not easy to leave the place in which one was born, and especially when discrimination and inequality is suffered.

Goodbye to te sit-Down Meal

Eassy # 5


As time goes by, we have gradually lost the habit of sitting with family members to eat. People have adapted different customs that have been changing this practice of having sit-down meals. There are several factors influencing this change. People now consume fast food due tolack of time; Family members have different shedules of activitird and meals; they prefer other activities instead of family meals.

Today we live a very fast life, mainly because of studies and work. This means that when you get home no one wants to prepare food. and it is easier to eat out, call the express service or buy food somewhere else to take it home, instead of cooking at home. When this happens, the family members prefer to go to any part of the house where they feel comfortable, like having dinner in bed, in the living room or in different parts of the house.

Currentlythe members of the family have different activities; parents work and children go to school. So nobody is home . Then, at night when everyone is tired, they prefer to eat food that is quick to prepare, and some eat befor the others, and that is how we have been losing the custome of family dinner.

Arriving home tired is common after a busy day at work, school or college. And it is easier to eat some type of fast food. Sometimes when you get to the house there are other activities or duties to preform, and therefore eating at the computer is very common, and not only that, but some people prefer to eat whiles watching television, which has become a custom followed by all family members.

These are the most common problems that are experienced with changing habits, thanks to technology, stress, lack of time. We have lost the habit of sitting with family member to eat, and this somehow affecrs the realtionshi within the family and feed in habits related to fast foods, which damage the body and bring with them a large number of diseases that can be lethal.

What is the use of Homework?

 The main purpose of homework is to practice more what you see in class and reinforce knowledge. To investigate whether we know about a subject or not, it also help us to review and study the subject so we don’t forget it. When doing a math exercise and we don’t understand something like how to solve it, or if we realize that we need to review something else, so then we can ask the teacher for a more detailed explanation, and to clear our doubts.

Homework helps us to be more responsible with our jobs, and go slowly forming us. It needs to be yourself who should take the initiative to start doing homework in a timely manner, and be clear that it is a responsibility to yourself and not anyone else.

Doing homework helps us achieve a common management time, so plan how long we can last doing a task. Take it as a responsibility; it does not matter if you have to stop doing other activities to make homework as it should be. Is better to be responsible to take some time to devote to homework, and not have limited time for other activities.

Homework is important because many times when they are in groups of peers, you learn to relate to people who think differently to us, to respect the decisions and concerns of others. Namely managing the relationship with others when our points of views are different, this will help us shape little by little.

Personally, I think homework is very important in our education and I completely agree with it, since it works as a reinforcement of what we study in class. Homework helps us not just to learn but to become better professionals.

Everyone wants to enjoy a long life. Although some say that some habits can help us stay healthy and extend shelf life. Different populations throughout the world, show that this theory of living many years is true, depending on the quality of life that we have, there is a list of steps for that are extremely important to achieve healthy aging. Some of the recommendations to be followed for a long life are:

Diet: It is important to extend the life span. This should be rich in green and yellow vegetables and low in calories, grains are very healthy, fresh foods and avoid processed foods. Also avoid fast food and very greasy. It is also recommended to drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day. And exercise regularly, especially if you tend to eat greasy foods.

Getting enough sleep can reduce the risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and mood disorders. Getting enough sleep will also help you recover from illness faster. People who work at dawn are serious health risks. Less than 5 hours sleep per night increases the risk of premature death and sleep is a priority. Just like having stress management.

Mood, social relationships and personal fulfillment are also important to achieve healthy aging. The habits of friends influence people, so you should look for partners with healthy lifestyles. As several studies shows that married people tend to live longer than those who are single. Many researchers attribute the difference to the social and economic support that marriage provides.

To achieve long-term survival, the only thing to do is follow a number of steps which should become healthy and living habits. In current youth culture meals are not healthy and people tend to live shorter lives and suffer from many diseases that lead to death. Therefore we recommend exercise, drink water, eat healthy and above all smile and be happy.

The story of Michael Oher

Essay # 2

The Blind Side tells the story of Michael Oher, a homeless boy with a troubled past. Michael mother was a drug addict, and because of that he lived with several substitute families, but he always ended up running away from them, even though he was a great, very polite and gentle person. Michael had a very difficult childhood due to the environment where he grew up, but he found a family that gave him a home and supported him a lot, which helped him to succeed in football until he became a professional player.

Due to his difficult childhood, Michael did not received a proper education, so he had communication problems, he was very shy and got nervous easily, it was because of this that his grades were very low. He seemed to suffer from some kind of attention disorder, making it hard for him to get good grades, not because he was not smart enough, he did not showed any interest in learning and also did not had anybody to encourage him to do it

Michael had the luck to meet the Tuohy family, especially Leigh Ann and her son ¨S.J¨. They welcomed him into their family and showed him the importance of having someone to thrust, the value of the family and how everything is better when you have someone to support him. They helped him to get over his personal issues and to become a better student.

After solving his problem with studies, he was able to explode his biggest ability; sports, specifically for Football. He was an amazing player and helped his High School team to get many titles, his small brother started sending videos of him playing to many universities, and soon, many of them were interested on him, and visited him to offer him scholarships. At the end, he decided to play for Mississippi University, which was the same college his parents attended to, that led him to get a professional contract on the NFL.

Michael was able to overcome many obstacles in his life, coming from a poor family, in a drugs environment, mainly because of the support he got from his new family, who believed in him, and knew that he was capable of achieving all those things. We learned from this movie, that nothing is impossible, as long as you have people that loves you and supports you around.

The Achilles Heel

History has taught that mankind is capable of overcoming difficulties that seem impossible to defeat. In this manner, there had been amazing people that besides their physical impediments and the discrimination of society, have accomplished wonderful goals and also set an example for everybody to follow.

It’s true that all of us are different from each other in lots of ways, but that does not mean that we cannot live peacefully and equally despite the apparent differences.

Sometimes the feeling of winning is stronger when the obstacles are harder, so that’s why it`s important to remember the people who fought for their dreams without feeling sorry for themselves.

Information Overload

Essay # 1
 

Nowadays, technology is very important and useful in people´s life; this tool has made the daily life easier. It has changed the way people communicate and connect all over the world. The people wake up listening radio or the television, hearing news and advertisements every day. People stay connected all day in many different ways, which could cause an information overload, but if used in a proper way it will make our life easier. 

 

In our daily life, we have many ways to be connected, just by turning on the television or the radio, we start hearing news, but technology does not stop there. Now we can be connected to the internet all day, which in the past decade has become the most used way to be in contact with the world. It started with personal computers, evolving now in more sophisticated smartphones and tablets, making it a lot easier to be communicated.

The problem begins when we start getting an overflow of information, in most cases information that we do not need, or it is irrelevant for us. We see it on advertisements, social networks, messaging services, among many other things, and some people have become dependent on this, and it stops been just a tool, instead it becomes a vice or a necessity, forgetting about real contact with the world.

Living without technology is almost impossible, since it is a part of our lives; we need it at work, to study, to communicate with other people that are far away, to get informed with online newspapers, or to find any information that we need. But this could also be stressful because we get too much information from many different sources at the same time, and it could also make it difficult to concentrate on one thing. Besides this, being in front of a monitor for too many hours could be harmful to our sight, as so it could be to be typing too much on a cell phone.

Technology is always going to be a part of our lives, that is not going to change, but we need to learn to make a proper use of it, and not abusing the many sources of information it gives us. We need to do the best use of the information we get online or on television, and not get overloaded with information that is not going to be useful. We should fill out our own memory with important and useful information.
