THE MORNING AFTER PILL

 The morning after pill is a pill that women use to abort the unwanted pregnancies. Women, who have neglect, don’t doubt in using the morning after pill.
 On the one hand, women think that it is good take the pill because, for example, when a woman is taped and she is afraid or being pregnant she can take the preservative which can break. Moreover, many girls don’t take precaution because when they practice sex because they know they can buy the morning after pill.
 On the other hand, the pill isn’t good because doctors don’t recommend taking the pill more than three times in your life. Many girls are very young to have a relationship and be pregnant. More and more young girls have a relationship and they are 14 or 13 years old and many girls are 14 and have babies.
 In conclusion, I think that the morning after pill can be taken but in special circumstances and the society should tell girls that they must take care.

Why do you think people in general sleep less now than before? Do you think the pace of modern life may be bad for us?

In present society ,sleeping is getting less and less important. Normally people think that the hours of daylight aren´t enough. On the one hand people use more hours to work or study but on the other hand other people use them to have social life or they entertain themselves with modern technology.
 First of all I think that teenagers and adults insist on contradict everybody. They put the rules and their hours . Some years ago people didn´t pay attention to watches but now everything is controlled. In my view another reason why people sleep less is the new drinks with caffeine. They drink some of this to be awake for long hours. I believe they take them owing to stress of work. Nowadays people have to work a lot of hours, they have to know a lot of things about the modern world. There is a lot of competence and anybody can be dismissed if the boss finds a better worker. At school  the same happens,  In bachillerato  the students have to get the best marks so that they can go to university  and they spend hours and hours during the night studying and drinking coffee even though this is bad for their health  and their achievement.  . Nevertheless, other people don´t work so hard but  they waste their time playing with computer games , play station or discovering the new technology . They can be awake all night. As a result, they reduce their sleeping time. Furthermore, some teenagers go out at night instead of sleeping even though they have to work the following day. Then they go straight  to work.
In conclusion, modern life is getting worse because there are more problems to be solved, more things to do , more kinds of entertainment  and more substances to avoid being sleepy. For this reason people don´t give importance to sleeping  enough time   but this can cause some healthy problems  and problems at work .Thereby  you won´t do nothing whatever you want .

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Domestic violence is present in a lot of houses  . The actual news only show us sex violence. This kind of violence is in fashion but the violence which is not mentioned is the violence towards the children living in these houses but  the problem is that it isn’t considered dangerous.
   In the first place ,the latter is considered right to educate these children. It can be used to   punish  bad behavior. Discipline is needed and  a great number of young people don´t know this. Consequently, the majority of parents choose the physical punishment to discipline them. Another reason is the nervousness which can be caused simply when a child is shouting , crying or  playing in the wrong moment ,then the parents hit him angrily. Besides they use this violence to be respected. For this reason in some schools physical punishment is allowed.
     On the other hand, the reasons mentioned above are insufficient to accept that violence. Sometimes the homes where the child is hit, there might be more violence apart from that . As a result children only learn violence and they don’t improve their behavior .This violence could be bad in their future  because they may use the violence they have learnt or they can be afraid of anything, anyone or any situation . Nevertheless the most important argument against this violence is that children are persons than old people and  a lot of cases  of this insignificant punishment hide a beating which have done at home.

   In my opinion to use physical punishment is not necessary to  be respected, you can get it  with  good words but  I believe that  a little blow is good to correct  a bad behavior. Although people usually use it too much such excessive that this little blow has turned into real violence.  I think  that to keep them without going out or without  their favorite game is much better than corporal punishment . I disagree with the permission of the government which allows schools  to practice this violence , in my view  at school they teach you knowledge  and attitude but the children’s behavior must be learnt at home.

IS YOUR PHYSICAL APPEARANCE IMPORTANT?

I sometimes judge people by their physical appearance and I don’t usually make mistakes with people. When I see a person I try not to judge them by their physical appearance but I sometimes do it. When I see a person that is wearing torn clothes I think that this person is poor and doesn’t have money.
On the one hand, If I see a person who is wearing a suit and a tie, I think that this person is honest, respectable and rich.
Normally, most people think this way, but there are people who, like me, don’t judge others by their physical appearance. We help people who are badly dressed and also people who are well dressed.
In conclusion, people often judge other people that they don’t know by their physical appearance but a person could be a better person than a well dressed one.

ABORTION. IS IT A GOOD OPTION?

Actually there’s a very big discussion between conservative cultures and cultures which are in progress. These two cultures have their arguments to agree or disagree the abortion.
The conservative cultures says that the abort it’s a murder because a life die. This disagreement is produced because the religion also forbids and says that it’s anti-human. Some parts of this culture think that it is a women’s fault because has not taken precautions. Another argument they use is that abortion endangers women’s life.
These types of arguments are very commented in our modern society, all the progress cultures say that those arguments are from the medieval times. The progress cultures say that abortion is modern and it will make our society be better. The important reason that they give is that it should be a women’s decision because we are in a free world. The argument that answer the responsibility of the conservatives is based on a situation, if a women is raped; she should be able to abortion.
In conclusion, the abortion it’s a very big discussion which it’s difficult to resolve.

Cars

Nowdays cars are a frequent discusion topic. Every year new car models appear with a lot of benefits and now electric cars are begining to appear. But is drinving a car good or bad?

There are many people who think that cars are a very important source of pollution so they prefer to go on public transport. They also think that cars cause a lot of accidents and deaths because cars are too fast. There are many people who normaly go by car but they are angry because when they need to park their car, they never find a place because there are many cars.

On the other hand many people are for using cars rather than using public transport like buses because many times, the public transport is full of people and it’s very uncomfortable. Cars pollute, but nowdays there are electric cars and many people think that it’s better to drive a car than ride a bicycle because if the weather is bad or if  it’s hot you can turn on the air conditioning in yout car and you are more confortable. Furthemore, riding a bicycle is dangerous.

I’m for using cars because i think that with the electric car, the polltution problem is solved, and i prefer to be alone in my car than be in public transport.

PROBLEMS WITH BLOGGER

HELLO EVERYBODY,
As you may have noticed, yesterday blogger didn't work and to my surprise all the essays you posted on Wednesday and Thursday have disappeared together with your comments. What's more, I couldn't believe it when I realised that the whole group 2nd BTX C had disappeared! I've had to invite you again using the e-mail address you gave me in the moodle, so please accept my invitation again so that you can post your essays. If you have any problems, send me an e-mail to mvidal@iesjoanramis.org.

How important is it for you to wear clothes that are in fashion? Are you a fashion victim?


Trendy clothes can be very important to many girls, but also can have a bad influence, because the clothes always carry out the girls who are very thin and this can be an influence on the girls who are overweight. For this reason I want to say that I like to go with fashion clothes, because I think it is important for a person's personal appearance, as for example if a person has to submit to a meeting will have to dress well because if not give a bad impression. But on the other hand I think that there are people that fashion brings them to madness, even more important than the clothes the family or other examples. Y in this case I think that fashion is a bad influence, but this is not me. Carry carries fashionable clothing at crawling distance to spend much money but have not get at any price.

SCHOOLS

The schools are becoming more stringent and students have to take the school rules imposed on them. For this we can see that throughout life, teaching has changed

  From my point of view the things that are in favor are that students pay more attention to teachers. And there are some schools where smoking is prohibited, and students increasingly smoke less,you can also say that the students will be more accountable, not be distracted with cell phones and be able to leave preparations.

And from a contrary view would mean that students will have less freedom and the reason is they have less freedom if they are stricter. We may also note that teachers will be harder and maybe because of greater control students to increase their bad behavior.

In conclusion I think that on one hand schools are stricter is good, but then not because both are strict attitudes of some students become more rebellious.

THE NEW SMOKING BAN IN SPAIN

On 2 January 2011 came into effect the new smoking ban made by the Spanish government. This law don´t allow smoking in public places as well as bars, restaurants,... This law caused much controversy among Spanish people.

In my opinion, this law is very perjudicial to the Spanish economy, specially in the times when we actually are.

Firstly, a lot of bars and restaurants had to spend much money to create smoking areas and non-smoking areas because of the previous smoking law. This investment is lost. Moreover, customers will decrease by 30-40 %, a lot of waiters and cooks will be dismissed . Unemployment in Spain will grow up even more. Yesterday, I saw on television that 138000 people will be dismissed in the next summer.

In conclusion, I think this law is very perjudicial and very bad. The economy in Spain is very bad but it will get worse while the other important countries in Europe have already left from the crisis.
