How can we defeat the poverty?

                                                                                                                               March 17th 2015

I have been thinking about that, and there are so many ways to do it. Nowadays, technology has a significant developing and this is can be a way to defeat the problem.

People don't have idea about the power to the technology. In the same way, if everyone have a minimum knowledge of technology, we can defeat poverty, but for that solution, people who knows about these devices must have the disposition to teach it.

To solve this problem, the government should have a plan to teach to all population how to use the technology properly in order to improve the lifestyles, including their jobs and personal achievements. This advantage in laboral world it can mean getting a job and therefore out of poverty.

Another way to defeat the poverty should be the  virtualization for small business. The insertion to the internet by small business can mean an increase in sales this will cause an increase in income of the people and so will be able to leave to the poverty

In conclusion, technology It is a very safe way to defeat poverty in the world.

manorexia questions

What is manorexia?

It is a disease of eating disorder. It is the same of anorexia, but the male version. 

In 50 words, summarize the reasons why manorexia is on the rise.

the most common cause of this disease is caused by the pcuchological effect over persons of the stereotypes the media categorized as "Perfection",and logically to be a mass of media, this disease is also spread.

Why is difficult to identify manorexics?

I think it is difficult to identify because it is rare in men, so little care. The problem is that when you realize, it's too late

Diary entry about steroids

                                                                                                                       4th November 2014
Dear Diary,
Yesterday I saw something in the news that made me think about steroids in sports. Last night I saw a news report about a Brazilian athlete who when he was 16 years old started using steroids because he practiced shot up and he needed more muscles and power to shot the big balls. The report explain the extreme body changes that this guy was in a very short time, but a years later, the muscles if this boy were extremely big and he must to leave the sport, because directors discovered that he used the steroids. Today this guy needed to see a doctor everyday, because he is addicted to steroids and his muscles don`t stop increasing.

 When I saw this report, I started thinking about the use of steroids in sport. In my opinion this is very "stupid" because if you want get more muscles you can go to gym, is not necessary inject or consume artificial substances to achieve it. Is not natural and healthy use this strange substance. If you want something use efforts for it. Don`t take the short way.

Obesity

I think that obesity is a very serious problem all over the world, specially in western countries where it has increased a lot.

Obesity can cause serious physical and psicological illnesses, such as heart deseases, diabetes, certain cancers and it might be the cause of other eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia.

In my opinion, I think that if there is someone or something to blame, we might say that the type of life that most of us live provoke this type of sickness.

Health authorities must take an active role in trying to prevent obesity at all ages, specially with kids. Healthy children will be healthy adults in the future.

Unfortunatelly, I think that people who are obese suffer a lot and become psychologically ill, since nowadays the stereotype of successful people is related to “beatiful people” (like the “American boy”) That is to say that obese are not considered socially or for some posts because of their physical appearance. I understand that such an attitude is discriminative but, very sadly,  that is the way it is.
