Tap water # 2

Tap water system in Dominican Republic is not healthy because the water from the faucet sometimes comes to a fetid smell and the pipes are contaminated  most of their time because poor people who live in the banks of river defecate in the water, and this situation provokes a lot of sicknesses because illiterate people don't have conscience about the situation; in addition, they don't like to pay public services as water service from CAASD, electrical service from CDEEE, and garbage service from the City Hall.

Also we have to say that the official authorities have never been interested about water service fixing because they don't care about these kind of reparations because they just care the luxurious constructions in the urban areas of Santo Domingo as subways, tunnels, and elevated bridges because they want to appear as New York;nevertheless, many areas of my country are in difficult situations.

Tap Water

Tap water in Dominican Republic remains in an awful quality because the government has forgotten the water care in many areas of the country, first of all in the poor regions that there are not  pipes services, and they can not use the water because is poisoned and many people get sick by cholera, hepatitis,diarrhea any other illnesses granted that there is no help in water supply because the governors of each village are busy in politics, looking for votes for their profit and they don't care the principal services of their communities.

The water service in our country should be improved to the dominican people health, because it could be dangerous maintain the same situation in the next years, and if we don't solve the water problems it will be difficult for us and for the next generation granted that water is an essential element in our lives.

Water in Dom Rep...

Drinking local water in the Dominican Rep. is a heatlh hazard since it doesnt go through the same purification prosses as water from outside the country. Anyone from other country couldnt drink this water and the water can make you very sick. Although we are generally able to drink water without getting sick,it still can make a lot of problems in our stomach,the life expectancy here in Dom Rep is 50 or 60 years old, i was told that water problem was one of the many factors in the short average life in people. Even if you are sataying in a hotel or resort try to make a habit of brushing your teeth with bottle of water though we dont do that and avoid drinking water in the pool accidentlly because you can stay in bed for days because of this kind of water.

Dominican Republic is a country that elderly people are considered insensible for many reasons. For example, useless, always depending on others, even if it's not exactly the reality of the situation. That's how people in my country make it seem like.

Tap water

Water is the most essential and special liquid people need to survive... Our body is compounded of 75-80% of water for that reason we should drink as much water as we can, not just because our body needs water in order to feel healthier, but also because it can help you look better. When you drink a lot of water you hair is more shiny, your skin is very soft, your lips are redder and so on....As we can see water is very important in our lives for that reason we have to drink no polluted water this is very important because in some countries people tend to drink water from the tap but this happens because there are people who are responsible of checking that water is ready to be drunk. In other countries like Dominican Republic tap water is not potable, it means that it can´t be drunk. If a person takes water from the tap in DR he\she can get a lot of deceases such as diarrhea,cholera,parasites and so on. It is a shame that people can´t drink water from the tap and have to purchase it. I think that the governments should pay more attention to the population needs instead of thinking about themselves.

in our country to pass a certain age without achieving certain positions is a serious economic problems. because usually most associated with the elderly person with money.


if you have money here a viejebo here, otherwise if someone has no money here insinificante and weighs in the place where it is.


in my field I have seen many situciones rejection by more joves to the old. sometimes it hurts and make me ill percentile. one of the rejection is that the majorities of young people relax and tell him about his name and family. do nothing to counteract this evil.

1. good morning. the Dominican Republic now days have turned into a very modern city .. as with the case of our senior aging to care at home. sends it to an acyl for seniors.

the greatest disadvantage, is the case you do not agree on what job title. in the last case we have is that their own really they family decide the go out  the street.

Another factor is education. we believe that after 40 to, you are old. majorities in the case. not even considered for positions.

What is Pollyanna????

A Pollyanna is someone who is blindly optimistic about every situation, sometimes to the point of foolishness. The term is typically used in a negative way, to describe someone who cannot think about the more serious ramifications of various situations. Someone who behaves like a Pollyanna might be said to be Pollyannaish, which is why you might hear statements like “so-and-so can be so Pollyannaish about sales numbers.

The term Pollyanna comes from a 1913 novel of the same name by Eleanor H. Porter. The heroine of the book, Pollyanna, is an orphan who is sent to live with her aunt in Vermont. In her childhood, Pollyanna plays a game with her father called “The Glad Game,” in which the two try to look on the bright side of every situation, and she takes the game with her when she goes to live with her aunt. Over the course of the book, she transforms the outlook of people living in her town, teaching them all to look on the bright side of life.

I think should be funny to be a Pollyanna person, no stress, no problems or worries, but Pollyanna people should be careful about people around because they can labeled them as inhumans because for their way of behave .....

Are you a bold or a shy person?

 I am a very shy person. When I fall in love with someone, I say to myself "when I see her, I will grab her hands and gazing her eyes I will tell her how much I love her". But it never happens because When we are close to each others, I get choked. I never say a word! I only text her some messages or I write something on a shit of paper. Only shy people do what I do.

I own my shyness to my family. I own it to the way I was grew up. The way I was raised. My mother and my uncles are very stricted. So we have to show a good behavior everywhere we are. They dont like complaints. If someone complains about us, we would have problem. They would punish us.

On other hand, some of my friends are luckier than us because their families are not so stricted. They can go out at any time and come when they want. They will have no problem. They have more liberty to say what or how they feel or think.

I think the environment has some influence on people when we talk about shy and bold people. Maybe I would be a bold person if I were not raised the way I was. What do you think about all this?
