Adriana's opinion about internet addiction. Unit 1 the internet and other addictions

I think that along with the benefits of every rising technology there will always be some disadvantages. Addiction to the internet would certainly fall under the disadvantages of this technology since it is reducing the quality of the interaction between humans and either other humans or nature . It is rare to find a couple or a group of people spending time together without cheking their phones. Sometimes , people can even be seen in the most marvelous places focusing on sharingthe image they took of the place on diverse social media rather tan enjoying every minute they spend there. However, I believe it must also be recognized that despite the harmful effects of this addiction, the internet has been an incredible source that has allowed us to have Access to information we would have never been able to attain before while at the same  time allowing us to maintain relationships with people in every corner of the world.

spiritual renewal and workplace privacy

The grammar of those units were very interesting , ones talked about count and non-count nouns , I learned two ways of using few/little and a few/a little. Few/little has negative meanings; they are similar to not much and not many.  From the other hand a few /a little are opposite they has positive meaning, they are similar to some, when it talk about a small quantity.

  Exempla:  I have few friends.

 I have a few condiments.

In unit 7 the grammar was about verbs t gerund and verbs t infinitive. Others verbs are followed by either gerund or an infinitive with not changing in meaning.

Example: verbs t gerund

Avoid, deny, mind, enjoying, etc

.

I avoid having bad friends.

I enjoy playing volleyball.

Verbs t infinitive

Want, need, have

She wants to buy a car.

I need to talk with you

.

Verbs t infinitive or gerund

Like, love, hate, stop, forget, etc.

She likes dancing.

She likes to dance.

I love to sleep.

I love sleeping.

The tipping point

The Tipping point it was the topic from unit 4 so what I've learned from this topic is  that it's when occur a change in a moment that makes an important and significant change in live or in the society, also that topic refers to a reflection's point from the effects of a project or idea are maximized by creating a significant change. Could be a topic that is spread in everywhere so I mean that is through word-of mouth.

Also it explains how minor changes in ideas and products can increase their popularity and how small adjustments in an individual environment can alterate goup's behavior.
Thins that have been said to be about to reach a tipping point incloudes society's willingness to tolerate gay marriage, technology in retail sales, and the wide spread adoption.

what spiritural renewal really is

reading some information about what spiritual renewal really is , i found a writter that really has a point about this topic, i do agree with his idea "Spiritual renewal has more to do with two things.  First, reawakened and rediscovering identity and second, a galvanized sense of mission and practice." spiritual renewal is more about knowing or rediscovering yourself ,it is about the things that can make you feel alive , about things that you can enjoy and practice without traveling millions of miles, it is not about monaterys or monks , it is about your inner person and God. 

people are looking for how to escape from a hectic life. it would be awesome if they could find peace through their hectic life,peace through the storm, meditation during the traffic jam , reading ,singing , painting, wouldnt it be great?

I renew my spirit by going to the beach, not for taking a shower , i do apreciate God creation, i can look at the sea for hours and look at myself ,incredibly  the sea, the ocean,the skyline between the sea and the sky, its imponent view , the fear it cause in me makes me realize how powerful and merciful  is our god , we deserve nothing and he gives us everything.I dont need to travel around the world to apreciate God creation and to find peace or to pray to God, i just need to know how lucky i am because i am a son of God.

The tipping Point

The tipping point is the critical point in an evolving situation that leads to a new and irreversible development. The term is said to have originated in the field of epidemiology when an infectious disease reaches a point beyond any local ability to control it from spreading more widely. A tipping point is often considered to be a turning point.

The term is now used in many fields. Journalists apply it to social phenomena, demographic data, and almost any change that is likely to lead to additional consequences. Marketers see it as a threshold that, once reached, will result in additional sales. In some usage, a tipping point is simply an addition or increment that in itself might not seem extraordinary but that unexpectedly is just the amount of additional change that will lead to a big effect.
