Socialism in Venezuela.

Venezuela in recent years kept a policy change radically, as a country "democratic" move to a country with socialist ideas: Socialism. What is socialism? is a political phenomenon that advances in influencing the resurgence of the left that seeks to distance itself from the schemas and eurosoviético model errors, from a genuinely new American design. From this concept, the president of Venezuela Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias. Venezuela seeks to impart in this type of government called "Revolutionary Socialism XXI Century"

First mention some of the most important benefits this move brings the people of Venezuela, His program of broad popular participation with concrete results in the measures that have benefited the majority, has aimed at transforming the system of political corruption in the country the separation of power by officials in these practices. It is a revolutionary government in power that has faced the privatization to eliminate the harmful effects of neoliberalism, has supported the most disadvantaged sectors of society, has expanded the network of medical and educational services to the most distant and has committed agrarian reform to curb the large estates and in controlling the oil resources of Venezuela through PVDSA restructuring to bring it into line with the interests of the nation and solidarity aid to neighboring countries. This has provided a very broad support of the population. In addition to these actions will not bring benefit or does not like high society in Venezuela, as a government that wants social equality, and hard to implement the scheme to businesses.

In conclusion we can say that socialism has its benefits and cons, everything will depend on the point of view of each person, it is noteworthy that only the personal opinion of each party must be heard and respected by everyone.

My experience in English 8... The last "Thoughts"

My experience in English 8 was very good because all classes were in computers or rather on the blog and this makes it easier when doing homework, but sometimes it was boring being all the time at the computer. Although many times our teacher Doris Molero to teach a range for things like music videos, talk about an important issue today or anything of what she found interesting as his play in second life! This type of actions that facilitate or encourage better classes and more dynamic.

On the other hand, thanks to this kind of English 8: writing and editing, I learned many things as the most important is how to write or compose a paragraph which in English, even in Spanish it costs me, as my kind of writing is more open ("write things as I think) and this class taught me about how to write or how to structure the paragraphs.
Well finally able to say that my experience in English was very rewarding and I learned many things were unknown to me, without mentioning that I also met many people.

Understanding the cultures of the world (outline)

Title: Understanding the cultures of the world-
I. - Different cultures.
a) Own,
b) foreign.
II .- Makes people aware of new things.
a) Language,
b) Food,
c) Music,
d) Religion.
III) Results in respect for other people in the world.

First we can say that culture is the set of all forms, models or patterns, explicit or implicit, through which a society governs the behavior of people in this situation. As such it includes customs, practices, codes, rules and regulations as being, clothing, religion, rituals, norms of behavior and belief systems, that in all countries or continents is rather different and that makes us unique from the rest because the culture of Venezuela and South America (as it is a bit similar) is not the same as in Asia or Africa.

Meet all kinds of culture is good because it means you can learn about the customs of others know how they live, eating, and much, because it's a different life style we are used, the most important of the culture of other countries is the language, for the reason this is the most important form of communication in the world, one could learn different types of language and to communicate with any person in the world, the daily food of other countries is also very different, as they are prepared the typical ingredients of each place, the music they listen to is influenced by each country's native musical instruments, traditions and beliefs, and knowing this sort of thing culquiera could meet people from different culture, this is the main benefit of understanding world cultures.

Finally one might mention that by understanding these types of culture produces a great respect towards people who do not have our own culture, because knowing the customs, they respect the tastes or beliefs from them. that's why I think is very important to know the different cultures of the world.

Environmental Problems: Drought

Drought is a temporary anomaly in which water availability is below the statistical requirements of a given geographical area. The water is not sufficient to meet the needs of plants, animals and humans. The main cause of any drought is the lack of rain.

In Venezuela is in the most critical situation of drought in recent years of history.

However, the deterioration caused by humans is causing the world countless environmental imbalances throughout the world; this phenomenon has been christened the 'Child'. This phenomenon in Venezuela is causing one of the biggest drought for which has crossed over 60 years, this led to, among other things, the alarming reduction in the levels of rivers and thus hydroelectric dams. For these reasons, the appeal is to join the energy saving measures advanced by the Venezuelan state, and all people of the world should raise awareness about the situation that is happening the world in recent years.

Catatumbo Lightning

Catatumbo lightning is admired by the Venezuelan society, especially in Zulia state, (where I live), which has a beam in his official seal to symbolize the phenomenon. Also the lyrics of Zulia state, includes a verse that refers to this phenomenon. This phenomenon is very famous for all Venezuelans and especially Zulians because wet weather can be clearly seen.

Advantages and Desadvantages: TV

TV as we all know is very worldly known but even this has its advantages and disadvantages.

Its main advantage is that it entertains you, when you have nothing to do and to pass the time, television is made for that, also has educational programs and information that you have informed you of many things.

disadvantage is that evil has many programs that should not be seen by many people and more for children because it can adversely affect them, some of the problems of television is that today are more expensive, and this is a problem for many people find a TV.

Rubén Blades's song "La Segunda mitad del Noveno" speaks mainly about hope, when everything is against you, never give up, so this song-writer makes the game of baseball as a metaphor, when you go for the second half of the ninth (the title of this song) and the game is against you, you must decide what to do, not just talk and plan and do nothing, we must act. In the last verse of this song says, “playball says the "umpire". In this particular part I think the author is trying to say wake up! There´s still hope.

earthquake in philippines

Philippine scientists put the preliminary magnitude at 6.5.

The quake was felt in Legazpi city in Albay province, site of the restive Mayon volcano, and southern Leyte province. There were unconfirmed reports of a power outage.

The quake hit at 10:11 p.m. with an epicenter in the ocean 114 miles northeast of Catarman in Northern Samar province, at a depth of 35 miles, said Ishmael Narag, head of the seismology section of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology.

No tsunami warning was issued because of the depth of the quake, Narag said.

Edna Meregildo, a government social worker who lives in Catarman, said she was washing the dishes when the ground shook, followed by a power outage.

"It was quite strong. I exclaimed, 'God, please stop this,'" Meregildo told The Associated Press by telephone.

Arvin Unay, a staffer of Northern Samar's provincial disaster management unit, said the quake toppled a vase in his office but no damage was reported in his province.

Cedric Daep, an Albay provincial disaster-response official, said he ordered his men to check for possible landslides triggered by the quake in mountainous areas and in villages at the foot of Mayon volcano, but had heard of no immediate problems

Another disadvantage is easy to make a mistake like send messages to the wrong person and send very personal/confidential information and finally. Need equipment like have a fast computer. If you don’t have a good one the e-mail will be too late and need internet because if you don’t have you can’t send the message.
