ONE IN THREE BABIES USE SMARTPHONES BEFORE THEY EVEN WALK OR TALK

SUMMARY

Daily Mail did a survey to 370  parents of children that are from 6 months to 4 years and it limites that babies, who are being exposed to technology in the first year of their lives, are being regular users. 

Thus, the questions were simple: they asked when their kids  began using smartphones and how much time they spend with the electronic devices. The answers were that the 45 percent of children has used an electronic invention. Apart from that, when children are one year old,  1 of 7  are one hour playing with the devices. However, interviewers said that the number of children will increase.

MY OPINION

I think this habit is too bad because we can't expose our children to the radiation of this gadgets. They also are creating a dependence with technology. If this situations are difficult to control in teenagers, is more difficult to control it in babies.

FOODS SUCH AS YOGHURT OR SOUP CONTAIN MORE SUGAR THAN THE DOLMIO SAUCE

SUMMARY

This article tell us that there are some products that have more sugar than Dolmio Original Tomato Sauce even though this sauce comes with a health warning, to only eat once a week.

Cambell's cream of tomato soup, Bol Mexican, Sweet Potato Chilli, Heinz Beanz, Sour Pot Noodle, Activia and Sun maid raisins are examples of food that have more sugar. From that point, a nutritionist called Daniel Herman explain to us that people believe that a particular choice of food will be more healthy, but many times this is not true.

MY OPINION

In my opinion this warnings are really false because I think industries do it because of people buy more of some specific products. In this way, they earn more money and have a lot of profits. I hope multinationals don't lay us because in the end, everybody think like me, if they don't think it now.

IS VEGETARIANISM A SOLUTION OF GLOBAL ISSUES?

In recent years, people who carry out a vegetarian diet have increased. The event takes place due to the current problems that exist around the world. In short, due to global issues. Isn’t it? Although more of the 70% of people in the world are omnivorous, this consciousness are actually changing. However, is vegetarianism a really solution of global issues?

One the one hand, the breeding of animals is really uncomplaining because they are in bad conditions and exploit by breeders. Moreover, to be vegetarian it could be good for our healthy because vegetables and fruits don’t have blubber and have proteins, calcium…

On the other hand, to be vegetarian also have consequences. If people don’t eat meat, obviously they won’t have enough proteins; for this reason, people have to eat meat although in step quantity. Furthermore, to be vegetarian is bad because our society isn’t ready for that the majority of citizens are vegetarians: there are high prices, few places with specific food and moderately advertising.

In conclusion, people would have to eat meat, fish, vegetables, fruit… all food that make us healthier and with a balanced and assorted diet.

SYRIA: SECURITY FORCES SORMING PRISON

SUMMARY

Security forces of Syria have attempted against five prisoners of Hama's penitentiary. According to one prisoner of this prison, the police was frightened and although they took destruction arms, finally both sides negotiate; however, the situation was too tense.

Furthermore, the bad conditions in penintentiary centres increased and even though people say that it's better to stay inside this building.

Finally, this boys are convicted of death penalty because they don't want to transfer to another prison.

Once and for all, security forces have violated human rights .

MY OPINION

In my opinion, everybody have the right to call for something that they don't according to some item. Not for this reason security forces have to put death penalty to five prisoners of Hama. I consider that there are basic conditions and things that they can't overtake. Finally, i want to say human rights are active for some reasons and this is one of that.

HUMAN RIGHTS

 In this post I want to talk about human rights. For this, I tell you some information about this issue.

Human rights are the rights you have just for being a human.  Many of the basic ideas that animated the human rights movement developed in the aftermath of the Second World War. For that reason they were created in 1945 by the United Nations, that they were in New York city. I also say that there are 30 human rights. The modern human rights possibly are a reaction to slavery, torture, genocide and war crimes. Perhaps they began as a precondition for the possibility of a just society.  But the true precursor of human rights discourse was the concept of natural rights that appeared in the medieval age and continued in the American Revolution and the French Revolution.

Now I am going to talk about one article of human rights that I think it is one of the most important.  I choose the article 2 and it says the following sentence:

Article 2
 

Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.

 I pick out this article because in my opinion everybody has to be respected. It's doesn't matter the race, sex, colour or religion. All people are equal and have the right to be valued in our world.  I think if someone does something it's wrong and this person has a different religion or another thing, we encompass all people of this religions or race in one sack. This began to happened a long time ago. The extrem case has been the Hitler's Nazism in Germany around 1940/50 more or less.


Video: http://www.youthforhumanrights.org/what-are-human-rights/videos/born-free-and-equal.html

I think this human right isn't respected in anywhere because, sadly, in the world there are a lot of people who consider that everybody have to be in the same way. However if I have to say one place I choose United Kingdom. On the contrary, this human right is violated in everywhere but I pick Arabian countries.

Vocabulary I don't understand: 

- Sovereignty: Sobirania

1. What are human rights?
2. When and why were they created?
3. How many human rights are there? Check out LIST OF HUMAN RIGHTS 
4. Which human right were you not familiar with? - EL QUE ESCOLLIM

Watch the video of the right you chose.  Make a list of new words you hear, if any. Think of an example where this human right is respected and where it is violated.

SCIENTISTS DISCOVER A "RESET SWITCH" THAT COULD GET RID OF JET LAG

SUMMARY

Everyone who has family in another country felt what was the JET LAG: It is a symptom of changing times.

Concordia Universities and McGill have discovered that the body has a "biological reset button" that if we activate itcan help to eliminate some jet lag. For activate this, we have to combinate phosphate and a Period protein.

Moreover, it has tasted to animals, like mice. Hence, they concluded that the Period protein is the key in "circadian regulation".

MY OPINION

In my opinion, there isn't a cure for the jet lag. Nowadays, majority of people travel to other countries and bit by bit they get used to this symptoms. Furthermore, I think jet lag is a mild feeling, compared with otthers that are deeper.
