Terrorism

Terrorism through the years has been used many times for political reasons, according to its meaning may be, rule of terror, a series of acts designed to provoke terror, organized criminal activity. Some forms or variants of terrorism are kidnapping, physical violence, torture or the most used and well known worldwide to use explosive to attack buildings and large numbers of people who are there.


One of the most notorious acts were the attacks on the twin towers in 2001, which was carried out by the terrorist group Al Qaida, as they themselves were attributed facts. On this occasion a lot of people died here, and so, we see the extreme of attacking a country and a government where there were hijackings and later were flown into buildings of great importance and concentration of people as were the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.


Another of the attacks that began to take after this big attack was the substances of anthrax, deadly bacteria. In this case use the postal route to attack journalist, politicians, and civilian employees of government and specifically in New York.


Some of the best known terrorist groups worldwide are ETA, Hamas, Al Qaida, the Japanese Red Army, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Palestine Liberation Front, among many other groups. It is sad to see how these groups have organized a vast network that only think about destruction of the world and people, see the falling economies and the most impressive is the disrespect to thousands of innocent lives, when will they finished these groups and peace will return world?

Causes and effects of globalization

The Globalization is a worldwide phenomenon, which involves the economy, culture, media, and many other social factors that could serve to maintain the connection and negotiations with the rest of the world. It is said that the word globalization was first used in 1961 and after that became very popular, but in the 90's was when everybody given more importance.


The economic development of all countries in the world is based in how they could organized their invest and capital in globalization and its success depends on communication, negotiation and technologies that could manage to maintain communication with other countries. The problem that we can find is when small or underdeveloped countries can not maintain the pace of business and besides that its products or domestic production is unable to solve even domestic consumption.


The causes of globalization are obvious and not so difficult to understand, everyone wants power and this one is held by whoever has the resources and information to control the other countries. In Costa Rica many transnational corporations have become interested in the human product and this has given Costa Rica an advantage over the other Central American countries almost causing a mass migration of many Nicaraguans, Salvadorans and Guatemalans to our country looking for a better life. That would be one of the major effects of globalization.


The global migration to richer countries, with better opportunities as an effect of globalization is growing, directly influencing the culture and ethnicity of all countries. The union of one or more cultures causes a rich clash of ideas, customs and mentalities. Unfortunately this creates rejection and negativity towards cultural diversity, often giving racism between different cultures.


Another negative effect of globalization is excessive and uncontrolled pollution that we are causing with the excessive consumption of industrial products. This pollution is killing our rivers, our atmosphere, our environment and nature but more important is killing us. It exaggerated the increase in cases of skin cancer effects of the sun, but international treaties can not be achieved agreements wound to stop the polluting industries because below the table are handled exorbitant amounts of money paid to silence all who oppose the development.


Globalization is contradictory but I personally think that we can keep a balance if we could all do our part and balance the pros and cons with all the processes of globalization.

JAIL SENTENCES

The penalty is set as a measure for failure of expected social act, that is, when a person acts differently than expected and in turn generates social damage, material or human, the prison is the consequence of that act.


However, in many cases, I dare say that most, imprisonment does not fulfill its function re-socializing, to make the individual understand their behavior and is interested in adapting their behavior to what society expects of him.
Instead of punishing function rises to its maximum expression, subjecting the detained not only measures that limit their freedom of movement, but his freedom is violated physical, sexual, and mental.


By contrast, punitive function rises to its maximum expression, subjecting the detained not only measures that limit their freedom of movement, but is violated his freedoms physical, sexual, mental, etc.


In short, requiring the prison in our society for those individuals who break the law, it must be ensured because they serve their sentences so that it becomes effective for their reintegration into society upon completion of this.

Ethnic conflicts

Ethnic conflicts are defined as events that involve fighting against a race, or two or more races fighting against each other. At the same time, this term is explained as groups of people that belong to a race or cultural sector, as well as for religious reasons or because of their geographical location.


Throughout history, we have known and have even been involved in many conflicts related to the lack of tolerance for a certain ethnicity. To name some of the most known to mankind is the eternal conflict between people by the color of their skin.


However, not all conflicts start because of the differences of our skin, or our race, there are also political and religious beliefs that can affect the way of life of people and make them believe that “the others” are wrong, even if their appearance is similar and they have the same origin. Some examples of religious conflicts are the Crusades, the conquest of America, among others.


It is believed that ethnic conflicts have existed in mankind since always; even some anthropologists in their research have determined that even since the time of Neanderthal we had ethnic wars.


Finally, it seems that conflicts against other human beings have been part of our history forever. However, now days far from evolving into a more peaceful world, it seems that the situation is worsening, and that leads us think about the importance of strengthening the values of tolerance and promotes peace among peoples.

GLOBALIZATION OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE

Infectious diseases attack every day to human beings worldwide. Children and youth are one of the most affected since we are in daily contact with all kinds of sources of infection. According to OMS's epidemiological studies, 1500 people die every hour because of an infectious disease and half of that number are children under five years.

Avoid certain types of these diseases is very simple and does not cost much money as we might believe, but sometimes ignorance or lack of knowledge caused many people to be infected. The government of Costa Rica makes a great effort to bring knowledge of all possible methods of asepsis to every corner of the country and avoid further investment in the cure of these diseases.

But Costa Rica, despite being a developing country, has very good health programs, unlike many countries also developing. For example, in some African countries, people do not have a dollar per person per year, to give medicine to their residents. Although some of these drugs are very inexpensive, are not easily acquired by the lack of good distribution.

Many of these patients, sick or dying, are also parents or mothers who carry the daily sustenance to their homes, creating a human crisis where the poor get poorer because they do not have enough money to alleviate the diseases in their family. This is where public health institutions should act to help meet the health and welfare needs of every human being.

Among the diseases that attack the human being, according to OMS, malaria, measles, sleeping sickness, leprosy, sexually transmitted diseases, etc. Many of these diseases are eradicated in countries with access to vaccination. Millions of dollars are spent on wars could be well used in the cure of all these world-renowned infectious diseases.

Migration

The migration of people is an activity that occurs over many years; it is the movement of people from one country to another. Many times it is given with the prospect that their income will be better. Countries like USA, Canada, Japan and Australia are the main countries to which people migrate.


It must take into account the type of migration as they can be political, cultural, socioeconomic, family, or war.


So many people in Costa Rica want go to the United States seeking better employment and there by try to improve the income of their families to provide a better quality of life. And there’s the people of Colombia that come here seeking refuge in Costa Rica because of so much war and kidnappings that were living in the South American countries.


Migration can be a positive side but on the other side is not, and thus they reduce the rate of unemployment in their country of origin and the positive is the sending of remittances to their countries, but for countries, receive these people, may involve a larger population, can lead to insecurity and take jobs that others could need.


We can avoid this phenomenon gives greater cultural diversity to the cities where they arrive, and they reach people of various nationalities grouped together so that enriches the knowledge of all. It helps us to live with people different from one we can all learn and become better people in the future for all the new things become known.


I think this is a global phenomenon in which no country is safe from outsiders received daily, but I think it should be regulated. We must maintain a bond of solidarity and understanding but also be cautious about this.
