English the Official Language in US

http://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0LEV1ZOVTlVgDwA0A5XNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTEzOXA3ZG9qBGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMzBHZ0aWQDVklQMTMxXzEEc2VjA3Ny/RV=2/RE=1429849551/RO=10/RU=http%3a%2f%2fus-english.org%2fview%2f9/RK=0/RS=Dlt.8weJPOBussB4siWHB_rA8hY-

   Its been more than 200 years since the first debate about make English the official language without success. There are many who believe that this multicultural country need a official language. In my opinion is not just for many who doesn't speak the language. Many argue that is a waste of money but that is what we all pay taxes for it no matter your native the language. There are many jobs created thank to the people who doesn't speak the common language. Moreover, for many services that you need in this country its a fee that need to be pay. For instance, if you need a driver license you need pay a  $35.00 fee so what is the problem to do the paper work in another language that will help many people?; moreover, if the test is provided in a  different language more people will going to take test. There is a reason why this country is one of the countries with high desire to live and is because the freedom in many aspect. There are many that are against a multilingual country but are those who are lack of education. I believe that English only movement attempts to justify racist and nativist bias under the cover of American patriotism.

This article is about the advantages for kids by being bilingual. There many advantages by being bilingual. But at the same time its not easy for the majority to learn a new and complex language. For kids learning another language is like a game, they learn the second language faster than adults. The best thing parents can do its not letting their kids forget the second language. We all know that in school they are learning English, so our responsibility is to keep  teaching then the second language. In a  multilingual country being able to speak fluid two languages always is a advantage over the ones who only speak one. Is a fact that children who are able to learn two languages fallows patterns of learning. There are many programs that the government provide these days in schools to assure kids learn a second language. For many reason learn another language in this country will increase your opportunities.

California running out of drinkable water

http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-famiglietti-southern-california-drought-20140709-story.html




There is not a surprise that with all the damage causing for humans during all this years the effects are obvious everywhere. Recently, we saw in the news what Californian are facing. The receiving deficiency of water supply has everyone worry. Authorities conscientiousness about the issue they have implement some ways how preserve the shrinking water resource. Many think that California has only one year of water left. This is shocking but at the same time is the result of our actions against to the planet. I wonder what 22 millions of people are going to do when they have to face months of water left. Unless we all contribute to stop with all this contamination, the shrinking drinkable water will decrease if not will rapidly increase.   

Is General Education Requirements waste of time and money?

http://highered.blogspot.com/2009/09/is-general-education-worth-it.html



I s general education in college worth it? Witch so much speculation, this topic has become a very intriguing argument. what people must understand is that a solid foundation on education is fundamental for your future regardless of your college mayor. Although some argue that general education in college is waste of time and money. Others in contrast believe that general education will be constructive for their forthcoming career. The purpose of general education is that you can learn skills that eventually you can put in practice not only in your workplace but also in your life. In my opinion general education requirements is beneficial lifelong investment on yourself.

Technology good or bad?

When we say modern technology, the first thing to come to my mind is upward mobility. Since we been working on new technology our advance its been notable. There its not doubt the many people do not agree that thank to the technology  there are been many lives save it. There was a time when humans loose their lives just for a simple cold. But thanks to our advances we can be able an some cases to cure cancer, to practice extreme surgery such as a heart transplants or any other organs. Its a shame that many don't realize to all this advance. Another important thing is communication. Back in the days, its was hard to communicate with people that where living aboard. But now there its not a problem we can communicate to a long distance in matter of seconds. There are also many other way to communicate according to your preference such as video calls or a short message. I could be the whole day writing about all the benefits that we have thank to the modern technology. I believe that many people don't use it appropriate but that its their choice. Now, when you think about the negatives points that you might have about technology, think twice because there are most the positives that technology offers to the humans beings.

Our Future Generations

http://www.christianpost.com/news/harvard-professor-robert-putnam-on-rich-poor-opportunity-gap-kids-need-two-parents-churches-can-do-more-than-government-cp-interview-2-2-137089/


I choose this article because is really important to know everything that have to do with our future generations. We all know that our kids are going to be the future. It is very important to be aware as a parents what to do to make their lives successful. After I read the article I realize that are many factors that are not helping poor kids to achieve upward mobility. Its shocking to know that in a country like US instead to be increasing the opportunities for new generations are decreasing. I agree with the author of the book "Our Kids the American Dream in Crisis" in his opinion that education, and family structure plays an important role in our kids regardless economic status. Education is fundamental for any person who want to be successful. In his book Putman say that historically schools " somehow leveled the playing filed of opportunity. Also he mentioned that family structure have an impact in our children. Based on a recent study we can see that  many poor kids only have either their father or mother. In the other hand rich kids have both in the most of the cases. In my opinion, I dont think this situations is going to change. Everyday its getting tough for the lower class income. Rich people are getting richer and poor people are getting poorest.

But we need to keep in mind that many situations can change overnight. If you feel in too much stress remember that its not healthy. There are many thing you can do to get out of those stressful days such as take a break, workout, and just a simple nap.

Divorce

http://www.divorcestatistics.info/some-common-causes-and-reasons-for-divorce.html

 Nearly 50% of marriages in America eventually end in a divorce, according to statistic from the US Census bureau. This is a shocking statistic, but when you look around at your neighbors, coworkers and classmates this number became believable. The most prevalent causes of divorce are communication, cheating, and finance problems.
 Communication is essential if you want your marriage to be successful. Mani couples don't have the time to sit with their partners to talk. This is one of the biggest mistake that lead to a divorce. Cheating is another cause, that lead to a divorce. Its so unfair for the other person to know that its been replaced by someone else. Finance problems ,who doesn't have them this is the third cause that eventually end in divorce.
If you are thinking to get married, remember that are half of the marriages that end in divorce. If you want to be part of the successful marriages you need to know the main causes that lead to a divorce.

Style tip

http://mhlthm.ag/e1lQx1

Style! this is not new trend. Based on history style is something that its been passed from generation to generation, from culture to culture. Everyone have their own and unique way to wear what suit your personality. Do we need to wear what its on trend? in my opinion, you are free to wear what you like. Personal style its what you own and make you YOU. In the other hand, we live an a world that if you don't have certain standards in the way you dress, you just don't fit. Moreover, we have those TV shows with celebrities that only wear what's on trend. Many celebrities just go with this trends without realizing that regular people want to be like them. This industry its just going to be increasing rapidly. Fashion is already a multi-billion dollar industry around the world. In conclusion, only you can decide what to wear according to your personality or just because is on trend.

Landing on Mars

https://www.google.com/urlsa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.marsone.com%2Fmission%2Froadmap&ei=NDvrVIyXF8i6ggS1soLwBg&usg=AFQjCNFlIbyhvdvZW8HIzTD8sxKh_Z6eBw&sig2=czjtLM4lK1Z7BIxIGVAHnw


I read this article about mars , this is one of my favorite  themes, and I hope you get a chance to read it. Mars is one of the planet that may have been similar like our planet Earth. Humans have dreamed about going to Mars practically since it was discovered. The concept of humans traveling to and terraforming Mars its not far as we thought. In my opinion a future expansion in another planet is something we need to considerate soon. If something destructive happens to our planet that will be the end for all of us. Considerate another planet to habited while we have time we all should agreed on that. NASA its searching for evidence of ancient life in Mars as well as ancient water. However plan B its another choice.
