Nature, the beauty of life

For almost seventeen years I’ve been looking and learning about how the world changes throughout time. This era in which I came to life was the time of extreme change; the way people think, act, etc. However, people are not the only ones that dramatically changed during this period of time, but also societies and the form people interact with one another. Now days you can go to the street, or any place without watching every person stupefied by electronic devices. What people do not realize is that all this technological and scientific development comes with a price. All the new factories rising up and companies that grow each day throughout the world are damaging the most valuable piece of art ever created, nature.

In this world consumed by technology I usually love to take a break and dispose my mind to the will of nature. There is no better sensation than separating from people, technology, and other things of that modern society imply in order to listen the silence of nature.  This is also a time in which you get to rationalize about your life; a time to know yourself. When I go out to the balcony of my house and place my eyes in the horizon I just see the beautiful colors of the sunset, or the brightness of the stars. This interaction usually brings back good memories that take a smile out of my face; memories that I am glad to remember. All the previous mentioned gives you peace; peace within yourself, peace with your mates, peace with nature, peace in general. I could reach the so wanted happiness. However, all this beauty has decreased as a cause of human expansion. If we continue this massacre towards nature what can we expect about the future of our children?

If we continue with the massive destruction of nature what would get to be of our world in the future? In what kind of conditions will our children and grand children live? And most important will they get to enjoy all the benefits that nature gives to our specie? If we do not react and do something about the protection of nature the previous questions could get easily answered.  If we do nothing for the protection of nature the future of our world will be dominated by technology; people will have no opportunity to enjoy the benefits of nature. I will start the green continence in order to give a promising future of this world. I do this with the hope that the future has the opportunity to reflect about their lives away from the stress that technology cause on the people. The problem is that people do not react to this issue because of their ignorance. Most people in the modern world think that why should they care about the environment if there are other people that will continue damaging it. Well as Margaret Mead said “Never believe that a few caring people can´t change the world. For, indeed, that’s all who ever have.” This quote demonstrates that big changes start with the help of small groups of people. Change is not something that happens in a matter of hours; it takes time and dedication in order to make things change. So end this idea of “I don´t do it because they don´t do it,” do it for the benefit of the future societies and your own. All this values that makes me think about the benefit of the others before my own were introduced to me at my school.

In the school Colegio Panamericano more than students they graduate citizens. Since we are in elementary school they teach us a set of values that makes us think of the benefit of the entire community before your own. We learn how to work in teams, helping one another, to succeed and reach our goals no matter what obstacles our life puts ahead of us. All these values will be useful to accomplish the goal of a better future to our world because I’ve learned to overcome obstacles and work for others benefit. I will focus my studies on the reduction of harmful environmental gases and will get as much help as I can in order to apply it to the industry.

In the petroleum industry lots of harmful gases are thrown to the atmosphere every day. Scientists are trying to control this emission of gases in order to reduce the environmental consequences. I will contribute to this cause by learning about the gases that the petroleum industry throws to the atmosphere and focusing my college studies in ways to prevent or decrease these harmful gases. No matter how small the change I make I will use all my knowledge to give the opportunities I have of meeting with myself in the silence of nature to the future generations. As mentioned before all big changes are not done in a matter of hours; it takes time and dedication to succeed.

Light bulb conspirancy

In this movie they talk about the history of planned obsolescence; how it started and evolved throughout the years. This idea of planned obsolescence got created in order to improve the economy in the economic crisis. With products that did not lasted for ever money will constantly circulate the market, which will cause the rising of new companies and the creation of more jobs for the citizens. The first planned obsolensence created in the system consisted on giving the products a determined lifetime, so that after some time of using it it will damage making the people go buy a new one. The first victims of obsolescence were the light bulbs. Companies started decreasing and decreasing their "life time" until they reached the 1000 hour usage. Either ways this idea was rejected by society and companies stopped producing this kind of products. With the fall of this kind of planned obsolescence another one rose in the market.

The new planned obsolescence consisted in making a lightly different product and making the people desire it. Every once in a while the companies manufactured a new product slightly different tithe others and advertise it in order to make the citizens give away shatter had nada quire the new one.
The greatest example of this kind of planned obsolescence is the apple industry. They take out new phones, iPods, ect. to the market  and make small changes in them in order to make the products see new. In the modern society you can buy a new thing today that can become old tomorrow.

the four horse men

All empires are determined to collapse. This event has happened since the early eras when the most mighty and powerful empires got finished. Today the empire that is reaching its decadence is the United States of America. The time in which the modern empire started its decadence was during the baby boom; period in which U.S reached the maximum point that empires could reach. This is caused by the excess of sex, money spending, and peoples greed. This caused that the breach between the rich and poor became bigger and bigger with time. As a cause of this the lower social class will loose more and more rights, which will cause turmoil between classes. This will cause the creation of a new empire.

What comes next to the entire collapse is competition so that the new empire gets created. This will cause that new governments and ideas spread around the world. The time for the new empire to rise will cause wars and create a tensing situation all around the world. Each of the world potencies will fight economically and militarily in order to demonstrate superiority. This will create bad situations in societies because each former empire will try to crash each others economy causing economical problems to the people. As Mahatma Gandhi said "there is enough for everyones need, but not for someones greed."This phrase demonstrates that due to all the former empires greed their people will suffer. 

Colombian monetary system

Is money real?

The FDA is an American organization in charge of printing money for the U.S. Citizens. When the FDA prints a certain amount of money and the government gives them the same amount in treasury bonds. The problem is that the government will never have the money to pay back the FAD because they expect to receive interests from the loan, but the U.S. government can't print more money. This is the reason why money is equal to debt.If there is debt in a country there will be debt, but if there is no debt the use of money will become unnecessary. This means that if every citizen in the United States gets to pay their debts, money will not be needed.A side from the previous mentioned there is also a system in which banks create "air money." The banks loan to the citizens they are lending the money of another person that putted it into the bank. The loans are not actually the banks money, but the money is from the citizens. His is why the banks have more time than the one they are initially given.

Drug cartels in Rios favelas

The world cup is coming and Brazil still suffers of violence in their streets. Just a few months before Rio de Janeiro welcomes visitors for the World Cup, and two years before it hosts the Olympics, security within the city remains a major issue. The favelas, which are the working class areas, are controlled by drug groups of the area. As a cause of this the governor set up permanent stations of police units in the different favelas of Rio in order to quickly respond to gang activity. As mentioned in the article crackdown in Brazil´s favelas “There are now approximately 34 Pacifying Police Units in Rio, controlling more than 100 favelas where hundreds of thousands reside.”

This is an important measure taken by the government not only for the control of drug activity in Rio, but also to offer a better security for the millions that will visit Brazil to enjoy the world cup. This is an important event for people of different nationalities all around the world. The police stations are prepared to act against any suspicious gang activity. This demonstrates that Brazil is prepared to give security to their visitors. However, many of the favelas in Brazil are still in the hands of criminals that are not willing to be pacified.

do you know the origin of your food?

An economic hit man is someone hired in order to bankrupt other countries. As soon as the economy of the country is in the ground U.S.A. enters and extracts resources from the poor country. This is something that makes the rich countries richer and the poor ones poorer.

There is something similar happening with food chains. Earlier in this era the food market in U.S.A was controlled by many different companies, but now a day only control almost entirely the food market. Becoming a farmer is economically difficult since they need big amounts of money for things such as feeding their animals, building chicken houses, etc. Here is when the big companies enter and loan money to the framers; a debt that becomes bigger and bigger. When the farmers bankrupt the companies force them to work only for them.

Since the fast food market demands a lot of food production have changed over the years.  Farmers today raise animals in the ugliest conditions that you can imagine. These conditions lower the meat standards, are unsanitary, and as a cause of these animals develop different diseases. As a cause of the big debt that the farmers have with the companies they are forced by the companies to maintain silent. When the farmers decide to talk in interviews they lose their job almost instantly.

The food citizens eat is junk food. Everything is raised in bad conditions and is harming the citizen’s health. My recommendation is to be aware of what you are eating before it’s too late.
