ESSAY
Working In A Amusement Park
In some companies we see an un realistic place to work that have a lot of diversion but also to much responsibilities. Should all companies have great opportunities to have fun on it or just it is a place to work rigidly
For many people it is very important do thing in their free time, but in most of the cases it is impossible because they have to go to the bank and maybe it is close or do the laundry. First if all maybe it is better if in your office you can wash your car or wash your clothes also if you can have a day-care center for their kids. Second of all if you feel free to do whatever you want may be are going to express new and good ideas, be good in what you do and have a good performance. In conclusion, it is good to work free and have the opportunity to do things that for you it is imposible to do.
In the other hand in most of the Colombians companies the employee like to be under pressure. To begin, some people are so lazy and don´t do their work when it is time. In the addition this can be a problem because the company can have low productivity and lose a lot of money. Furthermore they are going to be disorganize in their company processes. Finally in our country it is indispensable to be controlled and work with some in watching over you.
To conclude, it is important to have a free time but also be responsible in your work. In my opinion, you have to control all what you do and be successful in what you want to do.

ARTICLE
Globalization - good or bad?
From the Archives
Posted on October 10, 2003
Previously filed under: General Globalization
The debate may be moot.
Globalization is an overarching international system shaping the domestic politics and foreign relations of virtually every country, and we need to understand it as such. Photo Credit: Ells Culver/Mercy Corps
In his book The Lexus and the Olive Tree, Thomas Friedman wrote:
"Globalization is not a phenomenon. It is not just some passing trend. Today it is an overarching international system shaping the domestic politics and foreign relations of virtually every country, and we need to understand it as such."
As thoughtful people concerned about world affairs, our job is to pick up "globalization," examine it from all sides, dissect it, figure out what makes it tick, and then nurture and promote the good parts and mitigate or slow down the bad parts.
Globalization is much like fire. Fire itself is neither good nor bad. Used properly, it can cook food, sterilize equipment, form iron, and heat our homes. Used carelessly, fire can destroy lives, towns and forests in an instant. As Friedman says:
"[Globalization] can be incredibly empowering and incredibly coercive. It can democratize opportunity and democratize panic. It makes the whales bigger and the minnows stronger. It leaves you behind faster and faster, and it catches up to you faster and faster. While it is homogenizing cultures, it is also enabling people to share their unique individuality farther and wider."
"[Globalization] can be incredibly empowering and incredibly coercive. It can democratize opportunity and democratize panic." - Thomas Friedman
Globalization has dangers and an ugly dark side. But it can also bring tremendous opportunities and benefits. Just as capitalism requires a network of governing systems to keep it from devouring societies, globalization requires vigilance and the rule of law.
Anti-trust laws, the Securities and Exchange Commission, labor unions, charities, the Federal Trade Commission, and countless other agencies and organizations keep American capitalism in check. Similar transparent mechanisms are needed to make sure globalization is a positive force in the world.
Globalization will always have cheerleaders who are blind to the destruction globalization can cause. And it will always have strident opponents blind to the way globalization gives some people their first opportunity to fulfill basic aspirations.
As with most issues, the majority of people will be in the middle. They will see globalization not as something to worship or demonize. Instead, they will see it as something to mold, shape and manage for the betterment of everyone.

SONG ANALYSIS
Song analysis
The song titled "where is the love" by the black-eyed peas brings up a variety of issues going on worldwide. The lyrics mainly focuses on the actual lack of respect education and off course the lack of pure affection that human beings experience on a daily basis. In my opinion and to my understanding this song is some how persuading everyone that listens to it to question themselves if they lack of love and try to make a difference by loving one another.
OPINION BY RAFAEL OTALORA
It is very difficult to understand and know that not everyone has the elements necessary to achieve goals and success but it is a bit frustrating to know that the politicians of our country are trying to steal everything they can and only very few are able to collaborate with the real people how need is for this reason there is so much poverty in the country but with the help of many this can be changed.

Why we need to know what celebrities do?
In our country where we can see all types of journalist is important to know if they are doing a good job or they just want to be in someone’s life. Should the journalist care about problems of celebrities like politics?
First of all, in one case recently in USA the vice-president of McCain Sara Palin have many problems with the media because they want to know about her daughter pregnancy why they care? Is not their problem? Some people are against of why they pay attention to them if is their life we don’t have to care about them, also if the made a mistake in the past is not our problem.
Second of all, some people are in favor in paying attention to them just because we can know more about how is going to be elected and also can give us an idea of how they live and they behaviors.
Taking everything into account is important to know how are going to be our mandates but we don’t have to be involve in their life’s in my opinion is better if you know what they are going to do fur us but not their private life’s.
