THE RELIGION

2022-06-28 18:18:47 UTC

It has been a controversial issue for centuries, currently there are five main religions: Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam, however there are hundreds of religions; wars and conflicts have been waged in the world with the excuse of a "religion" and it is that religion is a tool, and it is up to each person to use it according to their criteria, religions can carry out actions to help others, show kindness and the best values towards others; However, religion can also be, as has been seen in history, a tool for oppression, instill fear, maintain a convenient order, it is also important to understand that the most controversial thing is the attitude of the people, if a fanaticism is there when conflict is generated in any subject, and more so a subject as broad as that of religion.

Cyberstalking

2022-06-28 22:53:53 UTC

We have all done Cyberstalking - even if some do not think it is. Because of use of social media and the need to share all we do, we are totally exposed to suffer Cyberstalking besides of the tentation to doing it. Whether we are interested in someone or just curious most of people expend a lot of time watching social media profiles, watching photos and following lives of the other people and this is only the best case because it may include false accusation, thefts, defamation and more. We need more security online but also we must be aware that we share, who can see it and what effects it can have on our daily lives and more importantly we must be aware and respect the limits of privacy of others.

Hydraulic fracturing

2022-06-29 01:52:01 UTC

Every year, lots of people in the United States drink liters of water with a huge amount of additives and chemical products highly harmful to their health without knowing. In the United States, fracking, also called hydraulic fracturing is exempt from some requirements of the potable water drink law, which means that businesses are not obligated to inform what type of chemical products were used at the well's injections or in the other activities that they do. Then those components had been found in the water that most people drink and use for their dailies because water companies don't have the information about the activities or the materials used by other companies, making it more difficult to find the seriousness of the impacts on the people's health or find a solution for the illness caused for the chemicals and additives used.

Therefore, in my view, should exist a law that makes sure fracking doesn't use harmful chemicals or a law that forces companies that use these practices to find an alternative solution better for the people health.

Abortion

2022-06-29 03:47:57 UTC

TURNABOUT INTRODUCTION / Sex, sexuality, and gender.

Abortion can always be a controversial issue within society, since a woman can decide on her own body, but she would be contradicting herself by taking the life of another human being. It must be preserved above all things first, the life of women. Legal abortion for all. However, women have all the right and power to decide about their body.

Pharmaceutical Industry in USA

2022-06-29 03:55:26 UTC

The United States has captured a dominant share of the pharmaceutical market worldwide”, “American consumers have access to one of the most advanced pharmaceutical systems in the world”.

Certainly, medicine is not the same as it was when it began in India based on vegetable remedies. As soon as the first laboratories appeared, Europa and United States started leading industrial medicine. Despite research and new medicines that have changed and even appeared in the past of time, OMS affirm that some of them are not necessary. They also declared there is only a list that is enough to control diseases, it contains 260 medicines, but, currently, there is a newer one which contains more than 7.500 that are currently used and it varies according to the country.

Finally, I consider the way the United States and other countries have owned medicine market around the world, being important how much money earn with business and sales and not people's health, that is why they may create similar medicines for the same disease.

Truth

maolara — 2022-06-29 04:41:01 UTC

"if you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything" Mark Twain, Notebook, 1894.

When we tell the truth we relly merely in our memories, which are carried out by the hippocampus of our brain. But when we make up stories, we depend on more parts of our brain, like the prefrontal cortex, responsible for executive control, which includes processes as planning and regulating emotions and behavior. Therefore, we could say that we would need to actively remember things we planned to say, creating more intricacies in our brain and thus having to go back and forth from one part of the brain to another in order to come up with a credible lie.

That being said, I think that we can see the truth as crossing an straight sturdy bridge, while telling lies would be like going through a maze, taking up a toll in our brain and our peace.

Genetically Modified Food.

2022-06-29 09:58:06 UTC

Have you ever wondered why young people nowadays are less resistant to any wild environmental conditions?
Could you remember our parent's tales about their childhood, how they used to spend thousand hours on the streets or maybe at the countryside having fun, no matter how much was rainning?
They didn't get covid-19, neither wierd and unknown viruses or developed any weak immune system, even though there weren't all the biosafety measurements we have today. Our main question here would be a big WHY...
What about these fitness trendings where everyone wants to look better in front of the mirror by paying a monthly fee at the gym? It goes without saying that half world turned into veggies, fruits, healthy and super food suplements, etc. Certainly it's not a matter of bad habits!, thus what is happening today?
It's a matter of mother earth, yes, as long as we play to be gods through genetical engineering (the language of life) forsaking universal laws of nature, like the butterfly effect, we're going to create monsters such as covid-19 or global warming most often than we can even imagine.
Please, let me call the story a town nearby the Hudson river in Alabama - USA, their population developed several types of cancer, diabetes, chloracne and hepatite. Here we come again... why?
Well, thousands of soja and corn acres had been grown on that area, but that's not the problem, the real issue regards to GMO, yes Genetically Modified Organisms, for this case plants.
Genetical engineers had mofied several crops to obtain bigger and more tasty products, resistant to many disseases even herbicides like round up, a trademark of gliphosate produced by Monsato, guess what... the biggest company around the world who ownes more than 60% of the legal rights on seeds, most of cereals you eat every morning thinking "I'm going to eat a healthy oatmeal for beakfast with strawberries and greek yogurt" probably comes from this company seed stock or maybe the yougurt comes from a cow fed with transgenic corn, because it's cheaper for farmers while they don't need to spend many hours weeding on the field, they just go to the farmers shop, buy some monsanto seeds, plant them and as long as they grow up, just need to apply several litres of round up and everything which is not the transgenic crop is going to die for sure, repeat the cycle and you gonna have a great harvest of beatiful corn, but beatiful doesn't mean healthy.
Nevertheless in asia there was a great problem, because their people started to develop several issues for their vision, yes, the diet in asia it's strongly based on rice and the deficiency of vitamin A and B-carotene no waiting.
For that matter a scientist developed the "golden rice" a rice which was modified to get higher levels of mentioned vitamins, then all the people right there suffered no more of these visual problems.
Currently some altruist scientists are working hardly, mostly as known in The Hebrew University of Jesuralem to develop new super food crops, veggies, grains, cereals with higher rates of minerals, vitamins, medical components and other advantages for consumers instead of big selfish companies. What we would conclude is that trangenics are not that bad at all as much as it is use for welfare such a substitute for make an agribussiness profitable. Sergio :)

Data and privacy

AlejandroBar1 — 2022-06-30 04:00:11 UTC

“Institutions in the digital age have hoarded too much power, but we can reclaim the data that sustains it, and we can limit their collecting new data” Carisa Véliz, Privacy is power.

Since we awake in morning until we sleep in night, the technology that suround us controls our life. Part of it begins with a consent we gave to technology. When we wake up and see our cellphone, we found notifications about how we sleep last night, news about Ukraine's war and how we gonna die if we don’t take care of planet. This topics are part of our identity, preferences and desires. The truth is that this information is not private, but rather is public. More precisely: all of our data owns to social media like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Our data are the bussiness of this companies through advertising and cookies. They gather data about our life.

Data is the business of today. Hence, we don’t know the consequences of this impact in our day life’s. We have to be aware of this power to protect our family and friends.

Myspace: Was it better or worse for our society?

2022-06-30 13:10:28 UTC

Nowadays, millions of people are involved completely in the network, even, it has become one of the basics for humans, for better or worse. Myspace's contribution was undeniable, bringing modernity, new tools, and the beginning of the technological future where we are now; additionally, this service was unique in its time and today is remembered with nostalgia for Gen X and some millennials. Despite the growth of society and every area which was influenced by this service, it is impossible to ignore all consequences that cames with it, such as diseases, mental disorders, addictions, and great pollution.

In my opinion, it is relevant to identify what is the beginning of one of the most influential elements for humans, if we want to understand what has been this process and evolution, and also, keep it controlled.

Gender identities

2022-07-02 03:48:06 UTC

All humans were borned and created perfect

a Persuasive Thesis Statement on Gender identity:Even though The WHO orhanizations says that gender refers to the characteristics of women, men, girls and boys that are socially constructed. This includes norms, behaviours and roles associated with being a woman, man, girl or boy, as well as relationships with each other. As a social construct, gender varies from society to society and can change over time., Is the gender a social construct? No, it is not. All humans born with a sex assignated and the gender is based on that! It is not about how humans feel, it is about how humans are. In my opinion, all people should have the capacity to develop themselves in the world as they naturally are, not as the society create day per day based on commercial and order strategies because Most of the companies use gender identities as a bussines. Jennifer Bilek, an investigative journalist covering transgenderism, technology and capitalism, says "this market has gone from being worth 8,000 million euros a year to more than 3 billion euros in just five years. In a society where people consume compulsively, the last frontier, the last market niche to colonize and exploit, is one's own body and "identity". The experience of gender identities has become one more product. And a very profitable one especially for the pharmaceutical, biomedical and technological industries" and All humans are a perfect creation of God. The main view of gender and sex is bases on the biblical book of Genesis: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.’” The New Yorker says the Bible is the best-selling book of the year, every year. For that, reason this is the main argument to believe those scripts are true..
