Mexico's crisis.

Mexico’s democracy, stability, and economy require a collaborative response from all levels of government to quell the wave of recent political unrest and address the underlying causes of insecurity and public dissatisfaction. The current crisis (Ayotzinapa) should be a wake-up call for the country.

The atrocity in Iguala is linked to drug-related corruption and violence, which continues unabated in many areas of the country and has exposed weak state and local governments that enable criminal organizations to operate with virtual impunity in many parts of Mexico.
President Enrique Peña Nieto has focused his attention on a series of economic and social reforms that he hopes will make Mexico a more modern nation. 

Unfortunately, the issues of corruption and insecurity that he consciously underestimated now threaten the stability of the country and the success of reforms that he hopes will be his legacy. His challenge now is to move beyond the political maneuvering in Mexico City and take a stronger hand in governing a country beset by weak institutions, corruption, and organized crime.

Look up.

Social media + technology are not the bad thing. It's the people who abuse them that are the problems. Social media + technology are supposed to HELP us.
On one hand, we desire technology and expect it to get better in time, and in the other hand, we criticize it and blame its creators for ruin our social lives, so like everything in the world it has its good and bad things, and thats why we need to dose it, so it won't take over our lives or won't be part of our them at all.
People don't create technology to harm, their purpose is to help, entretain us, to give new options we won't have without it, revolutionary options. We can choose whether we want it or not.

The Help

1. I learned about segregation and the importance of racial equality.
2. To reduce prejudice, discrimination and racist hate crimes.
3. I understood everything.
4. The message: discrimination in all forms is wrong and should be ended. 
5. There were some sort of disturbing parts as well, a lot of beating. 
6. Aibileen. I really empathized with her, Aibileen represents tenacity and optimism.
7. Hilly. Everyone else could be a threat to her carefully crafted life, so she manipulated and engineered the people around her to make herself believe the lies and to have a place to put all of the self loathing inside her.
8. No, fortunately I've never seen any act of racism in my life.
9. It had worthwhile content, was funny, heartwarming, and gut wrenching, all at the same time.
10. I enjoyed it. In fact, it was one of the best movies i have ever seen in theaters! However its not for kids, no way, it uses quite a few cusses and has adult topics in it. But it is great for teens and adults and is pretty funny.

The impact of the internet on our daily life

Although there are many advantages, there are more disadvantages of an internet based society. Most of these drawbacks are a result of decreased face-to-face communication.

Time spent on the Internet is associated with later declines in within house family communication and a decrease in the number of friends and acquaintances with which they kept ties.

People that use the Internet often are more likely to become lonely and depressed than those that don’t. One proposal as to why this is the case is because of a potential reduced social support system as a result of the Internet.

Because of the Web, people now only meet on social systems.  More and more individuals are finding surrounded in world and moving aside from their family and friends.
Actually kiddies choose to play games in the place of heading out and interacting with other children.  A healthy social development may be hampered by this in kiddies.

Differences between living in the country or the city.

Diferences between living in the country or the city.


1. A city is a large settlement, while the country is less populated.2. Life in the city is fast-paced, while life in the country is more laid back.3. The city is polluted, while the country has fresher air and lesser waste.4. Housing, food, and other needs are more expensive in the city, while you can grow your own food in the country and housing is cheaper.5. The city offers more jobs and business opportunities than the country.



Advantages and disvantages of the city and the country.



Living in a city has a lot of advantages. There is a big offer how to spend free time (theatres, concerts and other ways of entertainment). There is always a lot to do and visit there. What is more, there are a lot of working places in a city. Many big international companies have their locations in the cities, so it is much easier to find a job. Moreover, the public transport is developed quite well, so the commuting to work isn't a problem. On the other hand, there are some disadvantages of living in a city. Cities are very crowded. What is more, the traffic is heavy and city's car parks are always very full. Moreover, the other disadvantage is the safety in a city, but actually the lack of safety. There is a big crime rates in cities. So you have to be very careful at nights when you leave your home.



I think that in the country the problem of crime isn't so big. There aren't so many people and they usually know each other well. The possibility of robbery or other crime is relatively lower. Life in the countryside is more peaceful. There isn't any time pressure and the traffic conditions are better. A lot of places you may reach on foot. In the countryside there are a lot of breathtaking sceneries, space and other amazing places such as forests, lakes or mountains. As a disadvantage of living in the countryside we may consider the commuting problems. People who stay in the countryside often have to work in the nearest cities, so it may take a lot of time to get to it. However, the living costs in the country are much lower, the variety of products in shops is smaller.
