Drugs at my age

All the teenagers have drugs on hand. We see them constantly, but everyone do as if nothing had happened, as if this problem didn't exist. The majority of the teenagers I know have tried soft drugs, and a few started in hard drugs. I think this is caused by the lack of information and the lack of awareness-raising of young people and also the lack of control too.
Drugs are presented in our most difficult age, an age where we form our personality and want to try new sensations, but sometimes somebody don't know where is the limit.

From what I see, every time the drugs are tested at a younger and more unconsciously way. They don't know that the majority start with a simple "joint" and they ends crawling for a line of cocaine. 
In all my time in high school, the police have just been talking about the drug once. If they believe that by putting a power point in class and pass prevention brochures is enough, then we have another problem to solve.

How the divorces affect to the children
Currently 45% of Spanish marriages end in divorce. And this percentage, more than half have children. And I wonder: Are these children prepared for such psychological pressure? 
I think that any person, whether adult or a single kid, is prepared to confront a broken family.


All the children need beside a father and a mother, because that lack from one rarely is compensated by the other. But most don't realized that these children should have help, not psychological but rather support from the people they love, their parents. These, passing through a difficult phase in his life, leave aside the needs of their children or they don't realize their emotional needs and those feels displaced.

My parents aren't divorced, but I get into the skin of all those children who, from the time of being divorced parents , his life has been a lack of control and they haven't been able to enjoy stability as any child can enjoy. There are different types of divorces, some more peaceful than others, but what doesn't change is the sensitivity of children and that if you don't care, they could become a big problem.

The harmed are always the children.

Christmas
Christmas is the most awaited celebration by all children around the world. Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. 
Christmas is a very nice and very familiar time. The whole family decorates the house and they eat the best food, but also they give presents between them. This last aspect is quite discutuble: I admit that I like that I give me away things, but the evolution of this beautiful tradition has transformed a party created to commemorate the life, happiness and peace in a capitalist celebration. 
All the children connects with Christmas gifts. But this should change, because children should learn that the material is not the most valuable, but the most valuable is the real feeling that Christmas inspires.
don't want to be extremist and say that Christmas they shouldn't giving away gifts, but the parents should give more emphasis to the Christmas spirit (humility, solidarity ...) and let see their children that they are fortunate to have what they have, because other children do n't even will can to eat a hot plate.

Not only people can feel


When I hear people say that animals can not feel, I get angry. Just because an animal doesn't feel the same extent that people feel, don't mean they don't feel. This is why I wanted to dedicate this post to the feelings of animals, especially dogs. 
Many studies have shown that dogs can feel love, sadness, tenderness, compassion, respect... The facts speak for themselves: I speak for myself (and probably for most of people who live with dogs) when I say that dogs also miss. Coming home after a long day and find with a euphoric welcome from your pet, shows many things. Or scold them when they misbehave and weigh down the ears and look down, afflicted. The dogs try to show us their feelings continually, but we have to be able to know how decode them: interpret their glance or their physical expression (his tail, ears ...) helps to better understand our pet. I think that dogs are undervalued, and they shoudn't be It, because it is a magnificent animal, as much from their ability or from the mankind I see in them.

The evolution of  the generations

A few days ago my mother showed me her photos as a teenager: I saw a very innocent girl to be the age that she was, a girl whose appearance was very demure, like most of the girls of his age. My mother explained to me when at age 15 she played with dolls, or when she going to the river to throw stones with her brothers. But I can't see all these actions nowadays.This made me think: Why generations have changed with the steps the years?
Now the generations are much more advanced than before, now they do things that they made it thirty years ago, when they were of age. But, to my opinion, the older generations were the best: they lived the moment, they lived their youth without mischievousness, without malice, things were valued more because resources were limited and because everything was surprising: technology, as we know it, began to develop. In conclusion, generations have become worse and will get worse. I only hope that someday these innocence stages will reappear.

Review: Gone Girl

Gone Girl

A few weeks ago I went to the cinema to see "Gone Girl". It is a psychological thriller which deals about the disappearance of Nick's wife, Amy.
The day of their wedding anniversary, Nick went for a morning walk around your neighborhood and, upon returning, he found the dining table broken on the floor and the door forced, his wife wasn't at home. He calls the police to report the disappearance of Amy.
Gradually media pressure against Nick makes the police be suspicious of him since the beginning. As they are investigating, the police found evidence pointing to Nick as the prime suspect: strange behavior, a mistress, shopping through Amy card ... But the proof that made his detention were the evidence which rebelled a bloodstain of Amy in the kitchen and bloodstains on an iron stick.
But Nick had nothing to do with the disappearance of Amy, it was Amy who faked his disappearance and murder and hid himself in another state to avoid being discovered. She cut her hair, she dyed her hair, she changed their appearance, she bought a car and she gathered enough money to survive for several months.
A month after of the disappearance of Amy, her neighbours stole her all the money she had to survive, then don't stay little choice but to go home, but not to give himself away, she gave all the blame on her ex-boyfriend and  she explained that he kidnapped her and raped her repeatedly until she managed to kill him and escape. Upon returning at home, everyone believed her, except her husband. Finally, Nick continues his marriage because Amy threat him. The story ends in a rare and tragical way. 

Recommendation
This film gives a lot to think about. It is not like the typical films used to have a good time, but rather serve to make people think about it. I recommend it to everyone because it is well made, the script is superb and everything in it has seemed to me perfect and very well worked. Only I have to add that sometimes It is a bit violent, so I recommend that young children abstain from to see it.

Radical Change


Why the Strong Reaction to Renée Zellweger’s Face?


This Article begs the popular opinion about Renée Zellweger radical change and today's high speculation.

Recently, in a television program, the radical change of Renée Zellweger was commented and they debated about how little resemblance to the famous and illustrious Bridget Jones. When the whole world watched her photos in an organized event in Hollywood, the media, fans of the actress, women and men in the street began to talk about it and speculate a reason to justify her new face.

The Miss Zellweger became famous for play the role of a women without complexes, women who accept their bodies as it was. But now we can't see the person that one day we felt like one like us and who taught us not to have a pretty face means you could not be happy and live attached to your complex. Now that person seems more the wife of a president. The Miss Zellweger made a statement to People magazine which made it clear that her makeover was due to living a different lifestyle, to be more happy, to be loved and to love.
Dr. Michelle Copeland, a plastic surgeon in New York, affirms that Miss Zellweger had probably elected to have a blepharoplasty and possibly also a forehead lift. Also the doctor added that Miss Zellweger was no longer recognizable because he had lost those slightly and heavy cross-eyes that characterized her. Then she already was someone else.
Nancy Etcoff, an evolutionary psychologist at Harvard and author, said not to be in disagree with Miss Zellwewger operations, since she decided to have a change of identity that anyone in his position could have set out. 
Dr. Spar spoke of the hypocrisy of the issue, as she hugged the defects and taught us to live with them; the operation suggest us, what should we do the other imperfect women like her? Dr. Spar sentenced saying that she now has nothing special, just she passed to be the group of single women with good looking.

The study of the brain


Learning How Little We Know About the Brain

This article talks about how difficult it is to study the brain.

United States and Europe have focused on the study of the brain. They are invested $ 4.5 million in Obama's initiative for better understanding of the human brain. Scientists wonder how mammals remember places.
As more progress is made in research, they find more hindrance. Science don't know which chemical or physical alphabet used the brain to decipher codes. Sebastian Seung Princeton talks about how neurons are formed from memory growing out of the cells.
Larry Abbott, physical and co-director of the Center for Theoretical Neuroscience at Columbia University, is very influential in the world of neurology. Edvard Moser, a Nobel Prize winner, described him as a "pioneer of computational neuroscience.”
Dr. Abbott wasn't changed his career thanks to a friend with who invented a technique called the dynamic clamp, a way to link brain cells to a computer to manipulate Their ideas about how cells and networks work. The question now is how neurons work together. Ways to record brain electrical activity are improving. The problem for understanding the brain is the theory, because man has the intelligence.

Vocabulary
  • Research: systematic investigation to establish facts or principles or to collect information on a subject,
  • Hindrance: prevent something.
  • Invest: to put up or spend (money) in hopes of making a profit.


Personal Opinion

I think that studies of the brain have to continue advancing, because more than 90% to know about It. Larry Abbott really helped to discover the things we know about the brain and I think they should invest more money in research.
