HAITI NEEDS OUR HELP

An earthquake of that magnitude would be devastating for any country. All we can find now is death and destruction. It is clear to anyone who knows something about the country that this recent disaster, will be catastrophic for the Haitian people who already live with nothing. However, a lot of countries, different ONG’s and people around the world, get together to help in this situation. Rich and famous people are making auctions in order to send a lot of money to help the Haitian’s. In our country, two different situations happen. On one hand, people is sending food, giving money and donating blood to aid in someone way. But on the other hand, the government is giving parties to celebrate their four year at the administration and is doing nothing to help the Haitian people.

To lend a hand in these situations depends on each person, there is a lot of ways to help, but what is truth is that Haiti, the poorest American country, needs our help.

CELL PHONES – Good or Bad for Our Health?

Long time ago cell phones appear. The first ones were really big and very heavy. Nowadays cell phones are tiny, have a lot of additional services, and accessories, such as SMS for text messaging, email, access to the internet gaming, Bluetooth, infrared, camera with video recorder and MMS for sending and receiving photos and video, MP3 player, radio and GPS.

Having a cell phone don´t means any more that you have a lot of money or exclusivity. Almost every single person has one. The young people between 11 and 33 have the best ones. The 50 percent of those have cell phones just for entertainment. For that reason parents, doctors and scientists are concerned if cell phones are good or bad for our health. This is an issue that won’t go away. Will the electromagnetic radiation cause diseases and brain tumors? Studies don’t have cleared this until these days. And now some scientists said that cell phones are the cure for Alzheimer’s.

Using cell phones is very normal in society, parents and schools try to forbid using too many cell phones in kids specially. If these technological devices causes diseases or not is not confirmed or denied, but if we have the possibility of not use all time is better not to do it.
