Letter of Complaint

Dear Director: 


I writing for a problem that my sister have, since watch the cartoons that local TV station transmite on the afternoon. Went my sister watched for first time this cartoons, she start to changes her attitude and she´s more aggressive with her friends and family

On the school, the teachers called to my mom, because the changes also affect in the class and breaks. In fact, the friends of my sister doesn´t play with my sister. The psychologist of school, recomended medicate my sister, but she have only 7 years old, and I think that is too young for used this type of "solutions".

I recommed to your TV station, tune the cartoons in another hour, because I watch it and in my opinion this program is not appropiate to children under-8. For prevent more problems with children, change the hour transmition of the cartoons. On the contrary we way be forced to take legal action.

I hope you indertand my point and I wait for your answer

"The sale and rental of computer and video games to minors must be regulated in our country"



Internet supportive 1(http://www.out-law.com/page-5810) In US, the link between videogames and violence represent a real problen in the society. For that, exist a law for solving that problem.

Internet supportive 2 (http://beta.congress.gov/bill/113th/house-bill/287) This law reflect the disgust from the government about the violence on the videogames problems, because cause violence on the population.

In my opinion, the sale and rental of computer and videogames shoul be more regulated, because the mental harm that cause this "entertainment" is huge. But the consequences to this problem also, includes the parents of the children, because if parents does not control the times that the children plays or they do not care, the problem never be solved.

The points that be mentioned in the presentation:
1. The regulation from the commercialization to violent videogames
2. The laws to solved this problem                                      
        3. The parental control for prevent the psychological problems to the children

                                                     Tattoos in Chile

 Tattoos in Chile represent in many cases an important sistuation for the tattoed, but the chileans have a bad reaction when look one. in my opinion, the decision for have or not a tattoos is a personal decision, and the opinion that people don´t have affect.

Exist many reason for tattooing for example religion, ethnic tradition, fashion, etc. In cases that religion is the reason. I think the reactionfrom Chileans are innapropied and disrespect from the person. However when the person tatoed for rebeld reason for example the devil or the dead, and destroyed his body eith a lot of piercing or other things i believe this is a disrespect from the life, because is "pathetic" changed your body for a rebeld reason or for represent. "I am a bad boy". Because probably when you grwn up, you regret.
The ethnics like Polynesian or Maori have a tradition that involved tattoos from represent the tribu that belongs or the social classes.

In conclusion, i agree with tattoos when involved religion, ethnic tradition or for represent an important situation, but i disagree with tattoos who represent the "bad people" and rebelds, because i believe stupid and pathetic.

                                        Alternative medicine for Stress and Anxiety
                                                           (opinion piece)


        Stress and anxiety are illnesses that attack on a psychological aspect ,but also attack some phisical aspect on your body. There are many types of cure for this illness, but the alternative medicine is one of the best medicine to heal. In my opinion, Alternative medicine is the best medicine to heal this illness for diferent reasons.

         Firstly, the types of patient who attack this illness are all ages, and if you medicate a child with a chemical drug, he can suffer others complications or cause overdose. But, if you  medicate a child or an oldman with a natural remedy, they not suffer nothing out of the recovery.


        The other idea, is the natural techniques to relax and recover this illness.For example, the massage is a natural and oriental medicine, not only relaxes your body, but also reduces slowly the discomfort on the part affected. The session cost aproximate 80.00$US up to 100,00$US.

        On psychological aspect, when you go to psycologist who medicate convencional remedies the treatment are very invasive to private life of patient, because the doctor talking about the family of patient and the past of the same. But when you visit to psychologist who medicate alternative remedies, you can have yoga, respiration´s exercise, accupunture and other thing to recover your mind and body.

                            How to write a letter (guideline) 

             You need a paper and a black or blue pencil, if you don´t have it,you could use a green pencil, but you must not use a red pencil, because it is a sign of bad education.

            This guideline you may use it if you have to write a letter to friend or a family member, because this is aguideline for informal letters.

           For writing a letter you have to use a paper and pencil with the characteristics given above .

           To start to write the letter you need to write on a first line something like "Dear..." writing the name to whom it is addressed.
       
            After, you need to low a line and keep writting the letter.To make it look neat and clear, you have to write what you want to communicate in paragraphs.

           For the letter to be good, you must worry about spelling and grammar. The typical mistake are forgetting the capital letter at the beginning of the paragraph or after a point, or the repetiton of the same word in the same sentences.
     
        The general structure of a letter is at the far upper right side, date and residence address where to be sent, in first line the name to whom it is addresed and the paragraphs of the letter. Finally, in the last line is written a greeting and the name of the writer.




                          How is alternative medicine better than conventional medicine?

On hte health area exist two different types of medicine, the conventional medicine and alternative medicine. The coventional medicine it the chemical medicine, it use a drugs and body cirugies. The alternative it the natural medicine, the doctors use plants or every natural thing which serves to cure the patient.

The conventional medicine it's more invasive than alternative medicine because use chemical things, that aren't natural and can affect another part of your body. In case to serious diseases the coventional medicine attacks all your body and no cure the problems. but relieves pain. In economic point this medicine it's more expensive than other medicine.

The alternative medicine it's more effective than conventional medicine,because use natural things, cure only the diseases especific and not attacks all your body. These medicine center in diseases, but also in mind and psichological aspect of the patient . The alternative medicine is healthier than conventional medicine because the charcteristics given above.

I think the alternative medicine it´s better than conventional medicine because it´s more economic (in case to serious diseases), it´s healthier and it´s less invasive and it´s an millenary medicine in the eastern culture.

The medicine it's an area with many options to choose and each has the the possibility to select the like it.
You can guide with economic, natural or effective aspects and choose you think it´s the best.

8) Do health program in Chile cover this treatment expenses? How about health programs of the USA?

Chile doesn’t cover these treatments because in Chile no such extreme cases of stress and Chile only cover illness more dangerous.


In United State cover this treatment because the 25% for the population of United State have stress and anxiety. This illness is frequently in United State for the life style of the population of this country. However, in Chile the life style are more “relaxes” than United State, so that mean that the level of work in Chile is more underdeveloped, because of that, the State don’t have the money and necessity for  subsidize that illness. But in USA, the situation is different, because the State have been receive alert of stress cases, and this situation  led to subsidize this illness.
