In fact, vaccines protect children and adult, too, from many disease around the world.
Nonetheless, many diseases such as polio, small boxes and dengue fever are very dangerous on humans life. Even though most people say vaccines causes many side effects on their children, I believe that vaccination protects our children's life for many reasons: it reduces spreed of infection and gives child more immunity to fight disease. Therefore, vaccination is help our society build future with free diseases. I recommend that government have to encourage society to take any available vaccination.

I disagree with the person who says that the right age to drink alcohol is before age 21. Because really many people are unable to take a single beer. Nowadays, alcohol is a big problem for teenagers since there are many accidents caused by alcohol since they do not take with measure. Before age 21, people are not able to think about their well-being if not at parties and at friends. Because the most important thing for them is to stay well with their friends. Alcohol as we all know is a very dangerous drink when not taken with measure. For example in my hometown many teenagers have had many accidents thanks to drunkenness and staying well with their friends. However, the greatest pain is for their families because they have to know how to get ahead.Before you have to think about the consequences and on our families.

SHOULD ABORTION BE LEGAL?
Many people think that abortion should be legal because many pregnancies are due to rape. However, I say that abortion is an immoral killing of and innocent human being. Babies are not to blame for all that bad people are capable of doing as rape. One of the solutions to this great problem is to let the baby be born and put into adoption since nowadays there are many marriages that cannot have children and their greatest desire is to be able to adopt a baby to give them all the affection they need. These babies also have the right to live and not be killed by their own mother. In any case, the physical and psychological damage no one is going to remove the person who has been raped and the mother is as innocent as the fetus. I really do not agree with abortion.

SHOULD WE USE PHYSICAL FORCE TO PUNISH CHILDREN?

MIROSLAVA

My partner think that physical force shouldn't be used to punish children. In deed, it could cause sometimes negative effects on them and actually it should not exist. However, I do not think that only “words are better”. If there is not a proper correction, things can get worse. For example, when they do something that is not good without punishment, children could think that they can do anything no matter what and get confused about what is right and what is not. Obviously every family is different and parents, one each of them, try to act in the best way possible. But even when parents are the best ones it could happen that children do not see them as an example to follow. So the discipline should be present and if it is used in a right way we will have as a result children whose behavior is admirable because they have been shown limits.

Should Any Vaccinate Be Required for Kids?

# data[].attributes.body
My classmate think that the kids should be vaccinated and I am agree with him because at the last century, the topic if the vaccinate be required by kids, it has very controversial. Yet today, many parents do not vaccinate their children. Because they think that is bad for them. However, Vaccinates are very important for the kids because it protect their health, helped to save many lives and have the amounts exacts of the ingredients.

First of all, according to
Shot@Life, a United Nations Foundation partner organization, vaccines save 2.5 million children from preventable diseases every year, thus is the children vaccinates, they have less possibilities to have an illness.

Secondly, the vaccinates save many lives because when children vaccinate if they get sick, all the symptoms are less. Also if the disease is really bad, they can prevent effects.
In addiction, it is better to prevent any kind of illness instead of losing a lot of time and money in a hospital.

Finally, the ingredients in vaccines are safe in the amounts used. the vaccinates need to have special amounts of ingredients such as chimerical, formaldehyde, and aluminum. Because it can be harmful in large doses.  According with The FDA requires up to 10 or more years of testing for all vaccines before they are licensed, and then they are monitored by the CDC and the FDA to make sure the vaccines and the ingredients used in the vaccines are safe. Then the parents should not be worried about the problems that the vaccinates could be cause to the kids.

In summary, the vaccinates are proved by doctors and medical organizations, and also it save and protect their kids lives. For these reasons the government, doctors and medical organizations need to encourage the parents that their kids vaccinate need to have all the vaccines.

I disagree with anyone say uniform must be wearing in school
because I can not imagine myself wearing the same thing all the year , and also some uniform I do not like the look of it some of them (pink ,red )  I can not stand those tow . some people will say uniform is good because every one  will wear the same thing ,there is no different between rich and poor people ( I can see there point ) but no one want to dress like every one all the year  even the poor people . we can do something better than this for example : ( some student love to make a new uniform in his style)
I hope we do not have uniform in school  but not all I hope come true , some people love uniform and they see good benefit in it .I  hope there is some school in uniform and some not . for everyone

I disagree with the purpose that drinking age shouldn't be under 21, why?
Because, in my way of thinking, all the people its responsible before that age, everyone since they have like 17 or 18 years old know what its bad and what its good and they can make their own decisions.
Another reason its because, no matter that you can drink until 21, many teenagers drink, in houses, with their families, in some bars that permit to enter young people, etc.
And the third and last reason its because every day exist more and more laws and security that controls the dangerous thinks when you drink like driving or fighting so every day its more safe to people who drink.
to conclude I think the drinking age should be 17.

Animal Test

I just read a article said an estimated 26 million animals are used every year in the United States for scientific and commercial testing. Animals are used to develop medical treatments, determine the toxicity of medications, check the safety of products destined for human use, and other biomedical, commercial, and health care uses. Research on living animals has been practiced since at least 500 BC. In my opinion, I think it is necessary, because it has enabled the development of many life-saving treatments for both humans and animals.

SHOULD WE PHYSICAL FORCE TO PUNISH CHILDREN?

# data[].attributes.body
MIROSLAVA
Nowadays, there have been changes in the attitudes of most parents over last years of 21th Century.  No all the parents would agree with using force regularly as a way of dealing with discipline problems in their children.

There are many reasons to allow some physical punishment. One issue is that many parents find it very difficult to abandon physical punishment completely. Most of the parents think is good for children (for their correct education)

There are several reason for stoping physical punishment. One of them is that most parents are not trained to deal with misbehaving children. They don't have enough resources to handle the situation. If parents are allowed to hit their children, it will go too far (it could product a mental damage in children).

In summary parents have to change some of their beliefs and ideas about how children should be raised... Other people think Physical punishment it.s good for a good children education but i believe it is not.. 'words are better'. So that, physical Punishment should be prohibited everywhere because it could produce an irreversible damage on children minds.

Should the Drinking Age Be Lowered from 21 to a Younger Age?
In my country, we can drink alcohol least 18 years old. I think it was not good for teenager, due to in fact that teenager need healthy grow up , alcohol will be influence them body or head and I think the person who are 18 years old that not completely development, they need healthy eating and drinking. While some people say that drinking age be lowered from 21. Because allowing 18- to 20-year-old to drink alcohol in regulated environments with supervision would decrease unsafe drinking activity. I believe that
lowering  21 to 18 will irresponsibly allow a greater segment of the population to drink alcohol in bars and nightclubs, which are not safe environments.
All in all, teenager should not drink under 21 years old.

Should students have to wear school uniforms? Diegos opinion

Everyday students suffer many dangers as inside the school as in the outside. Indeed it is boring use the same cloth every days. However, by using uniforms make schools safer for students, parents and personal of the institution. Some studies has showed that it has decreased the number of vandalism in many schools rather than those institutions without polices uniforms.

By using uniforms decrease the number of incidents because for security is easier recognize their students when they are in troubles and creating vandalism. As a result this create safer schools because it makes for intruders more difficult go inside the institution and avoid accidents. Not only is beneficial for security but also for students because they can save time choosing their outfits by thinking how to combine their cloths. For parents with low incomes it is s good too because they do not have to spend much money by buying much cloths to their children and they can spend it in food or other benefits.

As a conclusion I think the benefits of using uniforms are stronger than not using them because of all reasons mentioned before. Using uniforms have many advantages and make everyone more comfortable about security, money and time.

Hello Classmate,

I'm going to argue with Sayuki Lopez's post,

Actually, you have some point, but i disagree that wearing uniform in schools.

First of all, you said that,   wearing uniform helps students focus in their education; however, my opinion is students will focus even if they don't wear uniform, that i mean it depend to the student.

In addition, students will buy two or more uniform because they will not wear that everyday with out wishing them. As a result, they will spend water everyday , and that is not diminish the economic. Instead of every week.

You said that uniform could protect students; however, i suggest the school put some securities around the school and also the government put police close the end of classes that is more protection than wearing uniform.

I hope you accept my opinion.

should students wear uniform?

When I was studying in my country , i wasn't wear uniform in my whole life. As a result, I disagree uniform in School. I think, when they wear a uniform some of students look not decent looking; however, we cannot make all students consistent. For example, some students want be fashions, so that is not motivation. Not only motivation but also kind of opposition. They need to access to their dream , so show that ability to be a fashion. According to the problems, some students could make distemper, that i mean what usually children do, so they might hide from their teachers to not recognize them.

That's some of the ideas, i hope that clear to you guys. And thank you for reading my post.

Should people become vegetarian?
Proponents of vegetarianism say that eating meat harms health, wastes resources, causes deforestation, and creates pollution. Granted, according to some researches eating meat increases the risk of getting type2 diabetes. However, meat provides all the essential amino acids and iron, zinc, and B vitamins, nutrients that we need and cannot found enough of them in most plants foods. That's why I think we just need to have a balance diet, that means that we can include a small piece of meat in it. If we do it we can assure a good healthy and physic condition. Now, regarding environmental problems, some researches have shown that producing vegetables causes many of the same environmental problems as producing meat. So if we want to be environmental friendly we can opt ether changing habits or acquiring them. We can be more helpful in the world If we decide to walk instead of drive a car or if we recycle things that we immediately throw away and we do not stop to think if we could give them another use. Small things make the difference. It is not necessary that we do not eat meat and be deprived of its benefits.

Should be gun control laws be enacted?
The United States has 88.8 guns per 100 people, or about 270,000,000 guns, which is the highest total and per capita number in the world.22% American had own one gun , 35% of man and 12% of woman. There are pro and con arguments. Pro : More gun control laws would reduce gun deaths.There were 464,033 total gun deaths between 1999 and 2013.  The government should limit gun sale . For example, if someone angry with you or fight and that person has gun , you know he may shot you , of course you afraid of guns . .Next, you must protect myself right away. After that you buy the gun too. As a result, both you and angry gun shot fighting. All in all, the government should control gun.
Some people say that government should not control guns . Due to the fact that a well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.Gun ownership is an American tradition older than the country itself and is protected by the second amendment.

I read someone write should student wear uniform.. The First Amendment of the US Constitution guarantees that all individuals have the right to express themselves freely. The US Supreme Court stated in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (7-2, 1969) that "it can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate." In the 1970 case Richards v. Thurston (3-0), which revolved around a boy refusing to have his hair cut shorter, the US First Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that "compelled conformity to conventional standards of appearance" does not "seem a justifiable part of the educational process." Clothing choices are "a crucial form of self-expression," according to the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada, which also stated that "allowing students to choose their clothing is an empowering message from the schools that a student is a maturing person who is entitled to the most basic self-determination." [Clothing is also a popular means of expressing support for various social causes and compulsory uniforms largely remove that option. In Oct. 2013, students at Friendly High School in Prince George's County, MD, were not allowed to wear pink shirts to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As a result, 75 students received in-school suspensions for breaking the school's uniform restrictions.

Should the Drinking Age Be lowered from 21 to a Younger Age?

The age for drink depends of laws of every country or state, in some of them is not legal drink under eighteen, others under twenty-one; there are many consequences for violate the laws as be in jail for a week, pay money or do social work. Indeed there are negatives effects, but the government do not pay much attention in those reasons and they want to reduce the age for let people drink. I deeply believe that it shouldn't be an earlier age for drink because every year thousands of people are dying due to drunk driver people and teenagers do not totally realize about their responsibilities. Although the rules and laws many teenagers are breaking them and it is becoming more popular among younger people due to the fact that people do not need a prescription to access this, so it is easier get alcohol. Most of the population under 21 years are not totally realize about their responsibilities so they do not care about drive drunk or not. They do not measure the effects and for one of this reasons every year many people have died because of accidents caused by drunk drivers. Despite the fact that people can not drink alcohol under 21 age there are many people starting drinking in earlier ages.

According to the study did in the last decade, proved that vaccinated child able to fight an infection easily rather than non-vaccinated child.
To sum up, vaccination is help our society build future with free diseases. I recommend that government have to encourage society to take any available vaccination.

Should The Drinking Age Be Lower From 21 To a Younger Age in USA?

Yes, I think so. In USA teenagers become adults when they are 18 years old; consequently, an adult should be aloud to take their own decisions and choose what they want to do. Even though this policy exist, people don't follow it. Young people drink alcohol in not good environments, so if we eliminate this policy, people could drink under supervision and whit some restrictions as well. Freedom to choose your own decisions should be an inviolable right.

Should Students Have to Wear School Uniforms?

# data[].attributes.body
In recent years, in some schools is mandatory that the students wear school uniforms. Many people say that wear school uniforms infringe the expression of individuality from the students, I believe that wearing school uniforms have a good advantages for all the students because it provides to diminish economic and social barriers between students, identify intruders in the school and whats is your school, and encourage discipline.

First of all, recent research shows that using a school uniform provides to diminish economic social because the students do not have to wear fancy or elegant clothes for wearing, because when all students are dressed alike, develop a competition between students over clothing those who are dressed in less expensive or less fashionable outfits can be eliminated.

Secondly, security to the students because when students do not have it, they have more risk to be assault or be part in a gangs. When I was studying in the high school, and one stranger wanted to hit of one of my classmates, the people called to the school or police for helping the student.

Finally, wearing uniforms helps to the students being focus on their education, participating in class and keeping the order as shows a survey that the average of absence increased when the uniforms schools stared to using in the University of Houston.

All these reasons, the students became a discipline person,  diminish the conflict and keep safe them is a good way for wearing school uniforms. Then the school needs to be conscious about the advantages that provides the uniform to all the students.

Should students have to wear school uniforms??

I think that school uniforms shouldn't exist, because to many reasons.
First, and I think the most important its that uniforms restrict students freedom of expression, I mean, each person, each student likes different thinks, different ways to wear, different colors and that thinks are part of our personality.
If we can wear what we want we feel to much comfortable and that give us more security.
Many people argument that don't using uniforms fosters class distinctions, but in my way of thinking that happen in all, for example what cellphone do you have, what car do your parents have etc, and each person must learn how to live with that and strive to achieve better thinks.

# data[].attributes.body
Traditionally favored by private and parochial institutions, school uniforms are being adopted by US public schools in increasing numbers. One in five US public schools required students to wear uniforms during the 2013-2014 school year, up from one in eight in 2003-2004. Mandatory uniform policies in public schools are found more commonly in high-poverty areas.

Proponents say that school uniforms make schools safer for students, create a "level playing field" that reduces socioeconomic disparities, and encourage children to focus on their studies rather than their clothes.

I do not agree with people under 21 can have alcohol because a lot of population are under 21 and they want to drink but bars  are not safe environments for them ,and there is a lot of people over 21 who maybe  do things bad when they are drunk , half of drivers arrested for driving while they are drunk so if they do that what about who under 21 !!! . Drinking should have a higher age of initiation because it is danger for they health it will cost the government to much to work that ,and sure the bars will be full of kids all the time ( you would not stay there ) .  Lowering the drinking age will invite more use of illicit drugs among 18-21 year old ,it will help those people who sell  drugs to these drunk kids to make them in more danger . Also I want to make the drink age is 24 or 25 because a lot of college kids think drinking is a game (who drink more he is the hero !!!) they do not care about there health or study(come to a class and you are drunk or high they will consider you are powerful and funny !)  if they are continue in this road there life will be end at that time .

Should Any Vaccines Be Required for Children?
some people think that vaccination are not necessary in spite of  this opinion I think that vaccination are very important for each kid in this word because it has helped to save many lives since the last century, cost less money than the medical treatment for the most common  illness and is safe.
when my mom was a kid she told me that in her town many kids got smallpox and many of them died, she also got it but at the end she survived , at that time people did not know how to hill it and they only let god decide about their lives even though they did not want to lose it. currently nobody dies because of smallpox, it has been vanished thank to the vaccination that the scientists created to fight against it that's why I strongly believe in efficiency and the important to vaccine for kids now day.
vaccines are available for any citizen in many countries they don not have to pay nothing to get it, it is better to prevent any kind of illness instead of losing a lot of time and money in a hospital.
scientists have also demonstrated that vaccinations are safe and it does not cause any problem in kids health it is because many people are still hesitate to take their kids to the local clinics to get their vaccines.

people should vaccine their kids no matter what is their philosophy or religion because it is not about that, that's about life and in any religion life es the most important think that we have to preserve.

Sadly some months later the rain came and destroyed it. Now I just bake in the oven which is in the kitchen of my house. It is small than the adobe oven but I do not mind. I enjoy baking.

Describe one passion it is difficult because I really love many things.

However, one of my favorite is learning new languages and cultures. I studied teaching languages,but I focused on French, it is one of my favorite languages. My love for French started after I met a French teacher in California. He speaks 6 languages and I really loved his classes, they were very interesting. He motivated me to continue studying and gave me techniques and resources to improve my skills.  For these reasons, when I got back my country I decided to do my social service as French teacher. It was a very nice experience and I learned a lot.Consequently I improved my skills in this language.

I am in the process to speak 5 languages, Spanish; although it is my mother language, I need to continue learn more about its grammar. I also have been learning English, French, Mexican sign language and Japanese.

In the future  I want to continue with my learning of Japanese and travel to Japan and teach Spanish there. I love this culture.

Despite the fact that people say playing video games have positive affect on their behavior, I believe that playing video games have negative impacts on our society such as, educate children to be aggressive with their family, distribute crimes in societies, and stifle creativity of children.                        First of all, there are many games that teach our children to be violent with their family ,and friends too. However, parents have to be careful to choose non violence games such as games that teach kids foreign languages such as English or french. For example, one of my nephew plays video games every day. Therefore, his parents have observed that who has misbehave and aggressive behavior with his daughter.                   Secondly, some of video games have learned our children how to use gun. That in turn, will reflect negatively on our society through distribute crimes in streets or even in homes.Finally, when children spend all time for fun and they do not do any things will help their societies such as innovation.In conclusion, we have to be cautious with violence video games. Furthermore, family plays important roles to teach their children in addition to government rules.

AHMED HAZAZI                       scary and funny story

# data[].attributes.body
I remember about twelve years ago when I went with my family to take my aunt to her house. The time was 12 p.m. midnight and the street lights were turned off. My father drove the car, and he was an old man. My mother, sister, brother and I were also in the car. My father was unable to see the street clearly. At that moment, I saw a pile of sand in the middle of the street because the street was under construction. Unfortunately, my father couldn't see because he had visual weakness. I thought he saw the pile of sand but probably he didn't. After that, we had an accident when our car bumped into the pile of sand. My head hit the windshield of the car during the accident. I got out of the car to reassure my family that I was okay and to check that they were not hurt. Also, I saw that the car was okay. In that moment, my family expected I was harmed because I broke the windshield. We didn’t go to hospital because everyone was okay. After that, we continued to my aunt's house. The story was scary for me but it was very funny for my family because there was no pain in my head. Although the windshield broke I was just scared. Whenever I still think about this story, I'm still scared. Therefore, I have a passion to write short stories and really enjoy to share them with other.

In fact, everyone has a different dream, and everyone tries to achieve their goals. However, some people want to achieve their goals without hard working, and they think the successful comes easily. That is not true. People should work hard to become successful. Also, when they fail once or twice the time, they should not give up because that is not a failure. That is another wrong way that they know. Therefore, my passion is trying to learn from my mistakes and other people's mistakes in order to become successful in my life.

My passion is dancing. I can dance latine and folklore rythms. I started to learn when I was twelve years old in the CCO (Casa de la Cultura). I used to be member of the representative group and I knew different places in Oaxaca for this reason. I spend my time practice the routines but I had to quit because I need more time for my studies.
In spite of I decided to dance again but in another academic. It's called Salsa Na'ma. In this place, I met many people, they are very polite and friendly. In some occasions, I go to events social and go with my friends when they participated in a performance.
When I dance, I forget everything, and I get relax. One of my dreams is being a part of a competition between dancers. But for being a part of a competition, I need to work in my shortcomings because I have problems with more than 4 spins at the same time.
