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.

POVERTY AND WAYS TO ALLEVIATE IT


Looking at the report of wikipedia, the poverty is: “Poverty has historically been accepted as inevitable as non-industrialized economies produced very little while populations grew almost as fast making wealth scarce.”

Compiled on February 10, 2011 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_reduction

Poverty is a factor that could be considered physical or mental. But in this case we will refer to physical or monetary. And this poverty is repeated many times, generation after generation because of chains of aggression, substance abuse, including laziness to consider a career or a profession. This leaves many families in poverty.

The government tries to implement methods to eradicate poverty, but many of these do not work to go to the very source that causes hunger and desolation. Some examples of these methods could be:

1. Empowering individuals, households and communities to gain control over their lives and resources.

2. Strengthen gender equality to empower women and release their energy and creativity.

3. Accelerate growth for the benefit of the poor in 100 developing countries and transition economies which grow only slowly or are stagnant or declining.

Then clearly is in our hands, helping to this entire people, and the hands of the government to support these ideologies and reforms, to achieve poverty eradication and get a society where every individual contributes to the welfare of one or all.

MY CHILDHOOD


My childhood was peaceful and full of innocence. I grew up in Palmares, full of my old friends with whom I played at school whenever we could. We were all very friendly and there was no malice or mischief among none. Our parents knew eachother and allowed us to be in the house of a friend, until we fell asleep.



My family and I used to go to the farm of my grandparents during the holidays, is there where I have more fond memories. My grandfather was a serious and tough men, but with me was very sweet and understanding, even to teach me to drive. Whenever we got to the beach, I collected shells and snails to put in my collection, of all colors and many sizes.



I also liked to collect key chains, so, that’s why all who knew me and were traveling brought me one. So I have from Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Panama, etc.It was a great collection.



During my childhood I learned to play basketball and I liked to go play with my friends in the neighborhood to the public courts of Palmares, which is my hometown. We played from morning till night. Through this I could be in various national teams and in several basketball teams.



How beautiful would be return to that time of innocence where there was only play around and happiness!

GLOBAL WARMING


While 2010 was a year of extreme weather events: warmest year since we have thermometers, heat waves, floods of biblical character, record temperatures in 17 countries and negotiations toward legally binding agreements to replace the Kyoto Protocol vanish in the COP 16 in Cancun, "a surprise? Media fail to report on Global Warming and Climate Change.

Wikileaks leaks that are shaking the world public opinion also talk about energy and not, in this case, to have gossip but to show the insecurity that surround the geopolitics of gas, oil and nuclear energy.

Oil Minister of Saudi Arabia strongly supported the solar energy to avoid the bad image of the oil countries who opposed the reduction of emissions at the Copenhagen summit. The same double talk that is used with renewable energy also applies to the fight against climate change. The price of CO2 is to be multiplied by 2020 and its impact on the economy will be greater after 2012 when the allowances are not allocated free of charge, while, only a tenth of the firms take this into account.

In La Haya, delegates from 150 countries try to agree once and for all on how to stop the increase in "greenhouse effect. "

Term solutions involve great cost and sacrifice, and for this we must identify the main perpetrators of the problem.

Blame one is meaningless. The responsibility is shared and the industrialized countries no doubt are in the top of the list.

There are solutions, but the cost of this solution does not want to be covered by those who generate it. Our planet will continue on a course of deterioration until it's too late to turn back.

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) states that all countries have common but differentiated responsibilities under the Climate Change. Developed countries make up the largest group responsibilities.


CO-CURRICULAR WEEK IN ULACIT


Dear organizers:

I desire you are doing well and can perform to perfection every project you plane.
The reason for my letter is simply to congratulate you for the different activities that my classmates and I could participate in Welcome Week and Innovation Week. I must say that due to lack of time, since my schedule is almost full from 7 am to 7 pm, I could not participate of all or some activities I have wanted to be.

I had the opportunity to talk a while with the space charge of Lehman Library, Miguel Angel Morales and Joanna Lopez Quiros, who were very nice and offered me, their products.

I noticed that several publishers offer books at very good prices, some better than others, and give us the opportunity to acquire an excellent tool which will serve to support the rest of our lives.

To make an observation about this is that maybe you should let the lithographic companies stay longer and not just a week because some books are expensive, but in this show may lower the price considerably. This could be useful for everyone in the week of exposure a person could not purchase the book maybe next week could buy it. It is my opinion.

But overall I found it excellent. I hope you keep motivating the students with as good extracurricular activities as this one.

HUMAN RIGHTS!


Human rights are all those benefits and conditions that recognize us as decent people and society people that allow us to have freedom and security. What would be a human being without freedom? In theory as human beings we are free from birth. No matter our social status, race, customs, nature, etc. We will always be free, because this is dictated by human rights.
Human rights are recognized in all or almost all the constitutions of the world, allowing all individuals enjoy welfare and dignity. All countries have the obligation and duty to defend, but is this true? Really as a nation we are defending our human rights? In Costa Rica people dies almost every day a person on the streets, in homes, neighborhoods and violence.
There is a kind of aggression that any human being unworthy and this is the domestic violence. How is it possible that in 2010 more than 36 women died because of the aggression of their own partner or spouse. And the sad thing is that most women reported the abuser long before the disaster. According to Human Rights: "Every human being is free and has the right to live by simple human condition. " But is this true? .
We must foster an environment of peace and tranquility in our homes and our children and report any injustice or ingratitude being committed against any neighbor. We must be partakers of the solution and not cover our faces with their hands. We must speak out, no matter what is said about this encourages the aggressor to attack with violence, sooner or later meet the crime, but we must stop this now! We must make it known to the authorities that we artos injustice. You have to scream to the world: NO MORE VIOLENCE, NO MORE DEATHS!
