How green I am 8

Hello classmates! This Friday I am going to talk about how Green I am. Although I am a person very conscious about the environmental damage that we have caused as society, I do not do big actions to revert this situation. However I am trying to use more the bicycle, for example, to visit my friends, and go to the supermarket and other situations. I would like to go the university in this medium of transport but this place is very distant of my house. Also, I try to care the water. Before, I watered my plants every day but today I do it only three times a week.  Moreover, I turn off the faucet of water when I wash my tooth. I know that these actions are not a big contribution but are my point of departure.
I consider that today is very easy to find different site in Internet where teach about how can reduce our impact in the nature, even there are site where we can to calculate our carbon footprint. I would like to learn to recycle the wastes produce by I and my family. Since time ago, I discover that my municipality has a plan about recycle although I do not know what days of the week work this institution. 

Last week I visited the metropolitan zoo and when I was in the hill I saw the city. The sky was really horrible, the pollution is too. We should do something about this situation. Because of here share some sites about this topic:

Free Topic 7

Hello classmates! This Friday I am going to talk about a thing that I hate, the political publicity. Today the legal period begins where the different candidates to the presidency and the congress can publicize their ideas in public spaces. But the streets are filled with political posters since some days ago, even months ago.  I support the idea that people should vote very informed about the designs of the different candidates. But I hate that the politicians do not respect the constitution to get more votes. They should give the example to population. Also, this impertinence is transverse to all political parties, even independent ones. In addition, the media takes part in this problem too. I have listened on the radio different political material. Moreover, I consider that is too much the number of material used in this propaganda, propaganda that is not recycled. Furthermore, when the election finishes, no one takes away this political material. This is really a horrible situation!  Because in my opinion, we as citizen have the duty to report these incidents and do not vote for candidates that incur in these practices, because in this way we will be part of a process of civic education that is basic in the society. Also, we should educate future generations in this important topics.

Summary 6

Hello classmates! Today I am going to talk about an article very important to Psychology and especially to Juridical Psychology. This information was published by the site www.theguardian.com and this is the link http://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/oct/10/prison-education-standards-ofsted

This article addresses about the inefficiency of the educational programs of the prisons in England and the criticizes that this situation have caused.  The article shows the opinion of Mateo Coffey, national director of further education and skills at the education watchdog (Ofsted). He says that exist a great number of prisoners that no have employability skills, meaning they are less likely to find a job. This situation is very alarming because the researches show that the work is one of factors more important to reduce the relapse, approximately 30% and 50%. In addition, Coffey says that is very expensive to the Estate the maintenance of the prisoners.

Moreover, recent research shows that a great number of men and woman in prisons in England and Wales lack of qualifications and insufficient of literacy skills.
Also, Mateo Coffey says that the prisons that work with institution that help develop vocational abilities are rare cases.


Finally, the article shows the vision of Jeremy Wright, who is the prisons minister. He says that the relapse is too high but that they are working with different institutions to resolve this problem.
