Effects of credit cards

Over the last decades, in United States of America, people have gotten credit cards and more debts in a way to get more things and improve their lifestyles, but this activity has been a problem, because people are not aware of their shopping, so the interest rates are eating a big part of the debtors’ salary, so the purpose of this essay is to  demonstrate the effects of using credit cards like the problems in the social, economic and emotional aspects.
One of the three problems is the emotional aspect, the high interest rates are causing that people get depressed and they think about suicide, moreover some people have done it, or people in a desperate way, just escape and their families don’t know nothing about them.
Second, the social aspect has been very attacked, because a lot of people as a result of the foreclosure are losing everything that they had, so they have to live on the streets, for that reason the poverty increases.
Finally in the economic aspect, the customers are wasting their money; because they are buying a lot of things that they don’t really need, just because with the credit card is easier because you have the opportunity to pay in installments.
To conclude, I want to say that people who get a debt with a bank because of the use of their credit cards, need to be very responsible, because credit card could be a weapon to destroy their lives, because the high interest rates, the mortgage and the foreclosure is affecting the economic, social and emotional aspects.

Effects of Credits Cards
The human being has always wanted more and more. Nowadays the publicity in the streets, radio, television, have many effects on the people for instance almost all the people try have the new clothe  or technology although some times this is necessary for some people. But generally the people can not have the new technology, clothe or unnecessary items because the people do not have enough money and if they want pay for this they have to do it in just one bill but whit the credits cards is easier have its because you can pay for this in many bills although buy whit credits card is more expensive. Therefore the people can have many debts easily and in few time and generally the people never think in the effects of this. The focus of my essay is show the principal effects when the people use frequently the credits the first effect is work enough time just for pay unnecessary bills, the second effect is the big depressing when the people can not pay their bills and the third effect is the bankruptcy.
The first effect is caused because the people do not know take a credit card and the people need know more about this, chose a great credit is not easy in the other hand the bank do not care if they have taken a good decision with their credit for instance for take a credit the people need have a good job and the salary from should be bigger than the credit and in some times much people do not know this and the effect is work more time just for take the wrong credit.

 
The second effect is when the credit card affects their personal live, for instance some people has been working for pay the credit card for much time and unfortunately the people is fired or lost their job or if the interest rate in their credit card increase and the people can not pay more and all the work for pay the credit cards is lost and this cause a big depressing and sometime we can see in the television than some people kill them self  because they can not pay the credit besides this affects enough the families for instance much people like the university students take this decision and this is terrible fir their parents.


 The third effect is the bankrupt, this is a typical and frequently example when the people can not pay, they can lose everything because the bank can take off their houses, factories, business, cars and everything than the people have worked and after form this event is very difficult stand up economically.

 
To conclude the principal effects when the people take a credit cards and they can not for this are the big depressing and in this effect is common kill them self, the bankrupt  when the bank take off the thing from the people and the big bill in the credits cards when the people do not use take the credit and use this.

Bullfighting

BULLFIGHTING PROMOVES VIOLENCE
Catalonia has been a city that has many traditions and between those was the bullfighting that is a barbaric practice where a man tortures a bull and finally the bull dies because loses much blood and the most unacceptable of this is that people pay a lot of money to see that and they really enjoy it, so I think that It’s necessary to ban that horrible practice, because breaks the animal rights.

Recently, in Catalonia was forbidden the bullfighting, because 180000 people say that the practice is barbaric and outdated, so they voted against that, if you see the statistics the politicians vote 68 backed a ban, 55 voted against and 9 abstained, that shows that the politicians finally get it, bullfighting has no place in the 21st century, with this Catalans are a good example, not only for Spain, to all world and is an act to admire.
In another way, are a few people who believe that bullfighting is a tradition, so this can’t be forbidden, I say, that a tradition is a practice that really improves and protects the culture of a town, a practice that is in pro with human’s thought and if you see the bullfighting is a really brutal practice, because in a corrida, six bulls are killed each time and the bull is tortured for 20 minutes, a tradition doesn’t be kill animals to fun. Moreover, are some people that say, bullfighting is an economic improve and make job, but this is totally freak, because is money that is made with blood, innocent blood, pay money to go and watch that kind of cruelty is horrible and the most horrible part is that kids go too.
To conclude, I say that bullfighting is a very cruel and barbaric practice that has to disappear on the world, because is against to animals right and promotes a conduct of aggressiveness and violence. Moreover people who enjoy and defense that, is people who have no feelings and like the innocent blood, so I agree with the decision of Catalans and I hope that all world do the same, no more bullfighting, torture is not art or culture.

Bullfighting

Cesar Quecano 200811071
Bullfighting
Bullfighting is a very old activity in Spain, much people worked all them live in this activity and used animals for this like horses, dog (bulldogs), and obviously bulls. This activity has been considered like a King’s sport. This activity was very famous and grown in the entire world, principally in places near Spain as France, Portugal and Mexico besides this is very popular in Latin-American obviously because this was conquered by Spain. Much people say than this is a traditional activity but we should think than many things have been changing and are changing from the past, for instance salving, religion, politics.   The focus of my essay is show why is unnecessary the bullfighting.
In bullfighting is used horses, bulldogs, bulls and many people for protect the matador, this person kills the bull, all this animals and people are in a big dangerous because when the bull hit them, they could be hurt and cause the dead or serious injury. This is very common and we can watch accidents in bullfighting in the television. 

 Frequently the people are hurt for the bulls but this is them own choice participle in this activity or do not do it. On the other hand the animal do not take this decision about fight whit others animals and human wearing weapons for kill its and protection therefore this activity broke the animals rights therefore the activists and Catalan Nationalism are banning the bullfighting.








But ban bullfighting can cause some problems because if this is ban, much people will be fired and this is a big problem for the country and obviously for the workers in the bullfighting. The matador is the principal person affected because he has spend all his live in this activity besides other people who work in security or cleaning will be fired though probably the will can find other job more easily than the matador.










To conclude are more advantages if the bullfighting is banned besides this is for the rights animals and health of some people in the “corrida” like the matador, the animals and people who are looking the show.

Cesar Transport

Cesar Quecano Rosas 200811071

Transport

The mankind has always had to use different means of transport because with this is easier the trips and communication. Therefore the means of transport are growing faster and faster every day as in London, this has new means of transport in the other hand in India has old means of transport. The new and old means of transport have advantages and disadvantages, the focus of my essay is the advantages in the new means of transport because are fast and perfect for a big city as London while in India the means of transport are slow and insufficient for a country as India.

London and India are places very touristic and have many citizens therefore they need a mean of transport big, faster and touristic for example both places have important and interesting means of transport for the tourist, for example the red bus because this is a new mean of transport moreover is very typical from London and it is very organized for buy a tickets and travel to different places in different time besides is perfect is faster and enough for the citizen and tourist because while in Kolkata the old mean of transport as Cycle rickshaw is nice and interesting old mean of transport and older than red bus in London, it is perfect for the tourist but for the citizen is not so effective because cause traffic and congestion.

The new means of transport in London are pollutant while the old means of transport are healthy but every day the new means of transport are growing and growing and nowadays this are not as pollutant as before for example The London Underground is a excellent transport, it is universally know and very organized while India has Bullock carts and horse carriages and this is unknown though this mean of transport is from London.

To conclude, the new means of transport in London are more popular, less pollution, faster than the old means of transport in India but those are the seemly good for the tourist but India transport is not good for the citizen.                                                                                    



In these pictures we can see the big contrast between the popular red bus and organized means of transport in London and the disrupted means of transport in India.

Uganda's women vs. Bhutan's women


The role of women in society during the centuries have been so similar in some civilizations, as you can see differents a few cultures have discriminated the women, because they belived that they were inferior than men in physical and mental aspects, so the focus of my essay, is going to be the inequality and advantages in the role of the women in Uganda and Bhtuan.

At first instance, you can see how was the role of women at work, that began in 1980, when men from Bhutan began working on the industrial service, so women had to take the place in the agriculture, while in Uganda was dissimilar, because the agricultural work was men responsability, so women were in charge of the raising the kids and just a few had a role in agriculture.
To continue with my idea, I'm going to describe the Uganda society, where women's role is clearly subordinate to those of men, because the women had as principal responsability the childcare, as i mentioned before. Moreover, women were taught to accede to the father's wishes, brothers, husband and sometimes of other men, however, some women wew really outstanding religious leaders, instead in Bhtutan women obviously took care of their children, but women didn't were treated like a object, as was in Uganda, Bhutan women go to primary and high school because they're able to participate in politics and administration when grown up, due to this there's less than 4% of unemployees women which is an inferior percentage of unemployees compared to men (10%).

To dispose of, nowadays there are different associations in both, Uganda and Bhutan that aim to help women to improve their socioeconomic status and to recover the childre they've lost because of divorce, separation or widowhood. The existence of these associations let us know that in some cultures there's been inequality for women but in others women has been an outstanding part of the society.
