UNEMPLOYMENT IS INCREASING

Unemployment is a problem which affects the whole world , the main point is that unemployed people do not have money to support their families, they are not updated  about their jobs , spend their time in bad things , and in some cases , it is highly probable they show criminal behavior.

Also, when society has unemployed people are quite likely to become unstable affecting the whole country. This problem is caused by many reasons: the low level of education that the people have, they do not have proper qualification in order to perform the jobs that are availa ble.

Other cause is the lack of money that the government has, many countries do not have enough money to create jobs. Monopoly is another cause of unemployment, there are many big companies, which do not allow government and small companies to create more jobs because they have privileges of selling and fabricating products.

One possible way to overcome this problem would be to provide people more opportunities for studying and having the abilities required in the jobs available. Also, encourage them to get a degree; the outcome of providing education might be to have qualified people.

Government should focus their efforts on improving the situation of unemployment and to reduce the impact on society.

By generating, jobs and huge budget, government can ensure jobs for everybody and in consequence an optimal condition in their lifes. Also, incentives and subsidies industries should be taken so as to combat unemployment.

Another way to deal with this problem would be to destroy monopolies; the big companies are earning big amounts of money by exploiting their exclusives privileges and having few employees. As a result, many small companies can be extended and allow them produce more products or services; in consequence, they would need more people to produce.

Another suggestion which would help to solve the problem of increased unemployment might be to updated employees, companies must qualify their employees. If this was happen, people will not lose their jobs, because they are skillful workers.

One final suggestion to eradicate the problem of unemployment is to offer free courses, in which, they can learn crafts, languages, and other skills .As a result, people can obtain a better job.

To sum up, there are several solutions which should be taken so as to combat unemployment. If government and society focus their attention and efforts alike, it would be make unemployment obsolete, and if this happen, the result would be beneficial for society, countries economy and future generations. Also, it can encourage children to study a lot in order to have a better job and thus they can have a better lifestyle.

PRIMORDIAL SOUP

The Miller-Urey experiment about the origin of life has been included in a lot of textbooks published in the last fifty years, because that experiment was an innovator discovery at that time. Stanley Miller was a student at the University of Chicago and Harold Urey was his graduate advisor.

The experiment was called “The primordial soup”, because Miller and Urey tried to create the chemical evolution process that generated life in our planet. The experiment consisted of mixing some chemical elements such as methane, hydrogen, and ammonia, then, they heated that mixture in order to evaporate it.

The main point here is that, Miller an Urey with that experiment tried to re-create the atmosphere in which life was generated, and they believe that the amino acids that they created in the laboratory were similar to the chemical mixture of the early earth.

However, there are several objections that we have to consider before. First, the laboratory’s atmosphere, we do not know if the electric charges were continuous as the Miller and Urey used.

Second, some scientist think that the oxygen was reduced in the Miller and Urey’s experiment, so the amount of amino acids was too high as the early earth one.

TIDAL POWER

Technology exploits all kind of resources, which can be find in nature or made by people, the tidal power is one of them.

The tidal power is a system, which works with the tides of a river and its main function is to generate energy. The main structure consists of a barrage which crosses the river, and when the tides rises, the gate which was installed before opens and allows water to get in and increases the water level. The force of the flow turns some turbines and these generate electricity, that procedure occurs four times every day, it depends of the area.

As all kind of systems, we should look the advantages and disadvantages in order to evaluate them.

Firstly, the tidal power does not generate trash and bad gases which affect the atmosphere, can be used several times.

 On the other hand, the disadvantages are also important to consider. The tidal power does not generate enough energy as we require or to satisfy our basic necessities, the environment and the wild life are affected.

The amount of salt in the river water increases, it affects aquatic animals and the bird’s habitat is destroyed also, their life conditions are not optimal. Finally, the people who live in the area, the area economy and the fishing boat are affected.

DO YOU KNOW WHO ARE THE PEOPLE SURROUNDING YOU?

Who are “The butcher of Rostov”,” The angel of Death”, and “The vampire of Sacramento”?

It is difficult to believe that a person can just kill people without shame and also enjoy it, YES; I am talking about a serial killer

According to Robert Ressler from de FBI,” a serial killer is a person who murders three or more people over a period of more then 30 days , with a cooling off period between each murder, and whose motivation for killing is a largely based on psychological gratification , often sexual elements are involved with the killing”. As Robert Ressler said, a serial killer is related with psychological problems, and most of them they are described as psychopaths or sociopaths as having antisocial personality.

According to American Psychiatric Association (1994), the antisocial Personality is a pattern related with a failure to conform to social norms regarding lawful behavior, physical aggressiveness, impulsivity, lack of regard for the truth, manipulativeness, and most important lack of remorse or empathy.

The serial killers are just people like you, who had a family, friends, etc, but in one stage of their life, just they lost. Answering to the principal question, this article will talk about three serial killers.

Firstly, Andrei Romanovich Chikatilo better known as “The Butcher of Rostov”. He was a Sovietic serial killer; he was convicted of the murder of 53 woman and children, between 1978 and 1990. Chikatilo was really shy about females and his only sexual experience was when he was 17 with a 11-year-old girl, ejaculating as the girl struggled in his grasp.

In 1963, he got married and had a son and a daughter, He had a minimal marital sex life and he would ejaculate on his wife and push the semen inside her vagina with his fingers. Chikatilo was a teacher of Russian language and literature, but his career as a teacher ended after several complaints of sexual harassment.

Secondly, Beverly Gaid better known as “The angel of Death”, she is an English serial killer who murdered four children and injured nine others while working as State Enrolled Nurse. Her method of murder was to inject the child with potassium chloride and insulin, causing cardiac arrest and lethal hypoglycemia.

Beverly’s motives have never been fully explained. She showed symptoms of factitious disorder; also this disorder is described as involving a pattern of abuse in which a person physically falsifies illness on someone under care in order to attract attention. She was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1993 and is being held at Rampton Secure Hospital.

Finally, Richard Trenton better known as “The vampire of Sacramento”. He was an American serial killer who killed six people in a month in Sacramento, California .He was victim of abuse at the hands of his mother. Trenton showed by the age of ten, evidence of bedwetting, pyromania y zoo sadism.

In his adolescence, he was alcoholic and drug abuser, he suffered from erectile dysfunction, he developed hypochondria as he matured. On December 20, 1980 he was found lying awkwardly on his bed, not breathing, an autopsy determined that he was committed suicide with on overdose of prison.

As it was mentioned before, when we read about murders , we feel sacred about it , we also cannot imagine it, we start to think , what is in killer´s mind or what they feel , it is impossible to know it.

Just think for a moment, are the people surrounding me serial killers? OBSERVE THEM AND BE CAREFUL , BECAUSE A SERIAL KILLER IS JUST LIKE YOU OR LIKE ME.    

 

 

 

MEXICAN PAINTINGS

This report is about three Mexican paintings, the background of the authors, the styles, etc. I started my internet survey about Mexican art, because in the Academic English Class, we were learning about art, and I really like Mexican Art.

As a result of my internet survey, I found three interesting paintings from Diego Rivera, Rufino Tamayo and Frida Kahlo.

 Firstly, Arbol de la esperanza, mantente firme by Frida Kahlo.

 Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter, who was born in Coyoacan in 1907.During her life; she suffered a lot, because of a terrible illness and an accident. After that her health was really bad and she was in bed all the time.

In all her paintings, she expresses all the bad things that happened in her life. Also she expresses her feelings about her husband, her illness, family, friends, etc.

In this painting we see two Fridas, one of Fridas who has just been rolled of the operation room and the other is the forceful and confident Frida.

The painting is divided into two halves, one day and one night. The bleeding body is assigned to the sun and the other is assigned to the moon.

I really like this painting because she expresses a terrible stage in her life, but at the same time she encourages herself to be strong about this situation. We should learn to be strong, and beat all our problems, in order to have a better life and to be happy.

The bad situations that happen in our life, we must see them as a challenge to be beaten.

 Secondly, Cabeza by Rufino Tamayo.

 

 

 Rufino Tamayo was a famous painter, who was born in Oaxaca in 1899. Then, when his mother died she started to live in Mexico City, and there, he started to paint.

 He was a teacher in the National Arts School in Mexico and he traveled  a lot in order to exhibit all his paintings.

 In this painting we can see an abstract representation of the head and the brain. The main color in the painting is red, because it represents blood.

I like this painting, because is very abstract, and tries to represent something that we as humans have but we cannot touch and feel.

It is really interesting to know how other people imagine and express his ideas about subjective things.

Finally, La sangre de los martires revolucionarios, fertilizando la tierra by Diego Rivera.

Diego Rivera was born in Guanajuato in 1886, he started to paint at a very early age, and then he went to study in Spain, France and an others European countries. The main purpose of Diego Rivera’s paintings was representing the facts, ideas and hopes of the Mexican revolution.

 In this painting we can see kind of graves of the Mexican martyrs, who participated in the Mexican revolution. The thing that calls my attention was a window with the shape of a flower, it is really good.

 And in the top of the painting we can see the sky, the ground, plants, tress, etc.

I like this painting, because Diego Rivera was a very patriotic person, he loved Mexico and he made this painting in order to show the whole world, what was happening in Mexico at this time and I really like the history of Mexico.

 As I said before, I love Mexican art; we have very good painters and our culture is amazing.

As a result of this survey, I learnt more about these famous artists and more about styles in painting. After this survey, I am really interested in following Mexican art. 

 

THE EUROPEAN UNION

The main purpose of this report is to extend the reader’s knowledge about the European Union and explain how this Union works.

The main content of this report is , what the European Union is, what the European Union do, how the European Union is organized , which are the main goals , and a little bit about the economic systems.

The results of my internet survey about the European Union suggest that the European Union is a political and economical association which is integrated by 27 democratical european countries.

The European Union was created to bring peace, stability, prosperity, and freedom to its 498 millions of citizens and makes a lawful world.

I discovered the following; the European Union is integrated by three main decision- making bodies m which have a lot of responsibilities.

Firstly, the European parliament which represents the citizens from Europe, Secondly, the council of the commission, which represents all the national government of the 27 countries , finally the European commission which represents the common interest of Europe.

Solidarity and innovation are the principal purposes of the EU´s activities; the EU´s annual budget is over 120 billions of pounds. This budget is invested in the regional and social development, agriculture, research and energy.

Talking about economy and money, the information obtained in the survey shows that, economist have identified four types of economic systems which are: traditional, command or controlled, market or capitalist and mixed.

Several countries have different economic systems; it depends on beliefs, religions, government, etc. But each of them, must answer the following questions:

• What goods and services should be produced?
• Who should produce them?
• How should they be produced?
• Who should be able to use them?

In the traditional, the economy decisions are based on customs, beliefs and religion. People hunt their own food and move on to another place, where there is more food, “things are done in the way they have always been done”.

Command or controlled: the government controls all business and makes all decisions. They decide who will use the resources, how, and everything.

The market system or capitalism is the most common nowadays. People decide all about their goods and services, also the economic decisions are made in the market.

People can decide if they want to be the seller or the costumer, they may take, refuse or change their jobs. Capitalism is based on the law of supply and demand.

Finally, the mixed system has some characteristics of the command and market systems. For example, EU tends the market system, but they have some laws that regulate some business. In China, they follow the command system, but they have some free areas, in which foreign trade can make business without interruption of the local government.

In conclusion, I think that these kind of organizations are very important, because they can regulate a lot of problems that sometimes exist between the countries.

The improvement in the benefits and challenges in European countries is really good, and the social responsibility that the European commission has is amazing.

 

HOW TO BUILD UP A BRAND!!!

 

 

Branding is a process in which people can express the essence, the values and what is expected to be delivered to costumers. The brand of a product or company is the core of business.

In order to create a successful brand it is believed that companies should follow at least five steps, in which they will create their brand’s name and the logo that will represent their product or company.

 Firstly, think about the idea supposed to transmit to the audience, also about the target audience.

Secondly, think about the colors for the logo, in order to make it attractive to the audience.

Then, stop a little bit imagination and think about the limitations, the level of complexity and all kind of problems that would limit the process.

Finally, take a look into other logos, and check what others have already done, take advantage of them and improve the logo.

 Remember that a logo is very important as well as the name of the brand.

 Now take a look into the brand: Firstly, start with a quality product, prove that the product which is supposed to be sold.

Secondly, identify the advantages of the product and what it is believed to transmit.

Then, try to find a single word or a short phrase which represents the message and catch the costumer’s attention. The brand has to evoke emotional responses.

 Market the image: post the brand and the logo in all the concerned market.

Live the message: it is the time to accomplish all the goals that were delivered in the message.

 Measure the brand equity against the competition and continue to build and refine the brand, in this last step measure the company with others, it is the only way of knowing the effectiveness of the logo and the brand.

 In conclusion, to create a brand, a logo even a company is really hard work, because we need to think a lot in society’s needs, likes, dislikes in order to have a successful company.
