Cults

There are alot of kind of cults around the world that are handled by freaky leaders whose focus in the  masses manipulation so, this religious organizations could be dangerous for the human being, because they would provoke hatred, fanatism, sexism and racism in the population and they would create murders for wrong interpretations from different slogans expressed in the cults.

Nowadays, we can see different kind of cults and I'm going to mention a few of them: Amish, Mormons, Scientology, UFOS, Skinhead, Black Panthers, New Era, Oriental cults as: Thugges, Yakuza, Budism, Taoism, Hinduism, also we can find some theories supporting this ideas as Urban Legends, Conspiracy Theories, Science Fiction magazines and movies.

Foundation theories

The goal of feng shui as practiced today is to situate the human built environment on spots with good qi. The "perfect spot" is a location and an axis in time.^[25][26]

[edit]Qi (ch'i)

A traditional turtle-back tomb of southernFujian, surrounded by an Ω-shaped ridge protecting it from the "noxious winds" from the three sides.^[27]

Qi (pronounced "chee" in English) is a movable positive or negative life force which plays an essential role in feng shui.^[28] In feng shui as in Chinlese martial arts, it refers to 'energy', in the sense of 'life force' or élan vital. A traditional explanation of qi as it relates to feng shui would include the orientation of a structure, its age, and its interaction with the surrounding environment including the local microclimates, the slope of the land, vegetation, and soil quality.^{[citation needed]}

The Book of Burial says that burial takes advantage of "vital qi." Wu Yuanyin^[29] (Qing dynasty) said that vital qi was "congealed qi," which is the state of qi that engenders life. The goal of feng shui is to take advantage of vital qi by appropriate siting of graves and structures.^[26]

One use for a Luopan is to detect the flow of qi.^{[30][citation needed]} Magnetic compasses reflect local geomagnetism which includes geomagnetically induced currents caused byspace weather.^[31] Professor Max Knoll suggested in a 1951 lecture that qi is a form of solarradiation.^[32] As space weather changes over time,^[33] and the quality of qi rises and falls over time,^[26] feng shui with a compass might be considered a form of divination that assesses the quality of the local environment—including the effects of space weather.

FENG SHUI...

I've never heard about the meaning of that, even though that word, until three or four weeks ago in my English classroom. When was time to start the unit related to Feng Shui. I agree with some things we were talking about in the classroom, I disagreed with others. The most that I agree with is the one that says depending on what kind of color you dress on your feelings also are. And that's true because I have noticed when I have a glad mood I wear light bright color just like yellow, green, orange. When I feel more confident, romantic, funny, comfortable, and sometimes clumsy with myself I usually wear light pink, dark pink, and purple. When I am sad or bored I wear black clothesand so on. When we were doing our listening exercises in the book, someone said that it is not recommendable to place mirrors in the bedroom, but I don't believe it too much, because i.e. in this country most of the people not to say everybody place mirrors in their bedrooms, and I haven't heard a weird story about that nor I haven't had a bad experience on it until now and I hope I haven't. I also like when that person said it is not good to give your back to any gate or entry because that's not secure, someone could attack yourself and couldn't notice.

Cults

Cults can be defined as religious, political self help, philosophical or counselling groups whose believes or practices are considered estranges.Even though many people have the perception that all the cults are bad I have to say that there are for example the self help and counselling cults give advice and help to those who need it. However it is also important to say that cults not always are positive why? because in these days people are getting evil, it is lamentable that there isn´t any rule that stop the spreading of cults and also these people who want to take advantage of weak people. We should be aware of this problem because we are being manipulated for people who just want to obtain and satisfy their needs.

Feng Shui

I´ve heard about Feng Shui thousands of time in movies, magazines, news paper, but I must confess that I thought it was a kind of exercise very a like to yoga. I was never interested in to get to know about Feng Shiu until I read about it in my English book. I didn´t know Feng Shui was very important in the human being life, because it totally stabilize them economically, physically, psychologically etc. What I learned about this topic was that Feng Shui has many advantages such as: tun your bad mood into good mood, your incomes arise, your life is healthier and so on. The only bad about Feng Shui is that it is kind of expensive so not many people can afford it, , but I think is is worthy because you are not just going to be comfortable physically but also psychologically

Addicted to drugs

Some people are able to use recreational or prescription drugs without ever experiencing negative consequences or addiction. For many others, substance use can cause problems at work, home, school, and in relationships, leaving you feeling isolated, helpless, or ashamed with people or family, proper use of drugs are use to relieve or prevent allergies but people use to satisfy themselves,when they are completely addicted to drugs they cannot live without them,they kill and abuse if they cannot find the money or something to exchange for that crap. People experiment with drugs for many different reasons. Many first try drugs  with curiosity, to have a good time, because friends are doing it, or in an effort to improve athletic performance or ease another problem, such as stress, anxiety, or depression. Use doesn’t really lead to abuse, and there is no turning back when  drug uses your mind and body . It varies by individual. Drug abuse and addiction is less about the amount of substance consumed or the frequency, and more to do with the consecuences  of drugs use. No matter how often or how little you’re consuming, if your drug use is causing problems in your life—at work, school, home, or in your relationships you likely have a drug abuse or addiction problem, but remember drugs are bad,get away from them.

OLD PEOPLE.

Growing old is part of being a living thing. Every people and also  animals must go through a cycle of life that involves a beginning and an end. Actually, as soon as we are born we begin aging or growing older. But when we talk of growing old we think of the physical changes that occur when bodies cannot grow and repair themselves as they once did. At about age 30 the signs of aging start to appear, though for most people the physical changes aren't really obvious until many years later.Growing old is something we cannot avoid that is why we must treat older people right because we will grow old too later,
As people age, skin starts to change and hair may turn thin or gray. Over time muscles become less strong and flexible, and bones may become more  breakable. Blood may not flow through the body as well as it once did, which slows the activity of the brain and the senses. The immune system becomes weaker and doesnt fight sickness as well as before. People experience these changes at different ages, but all will grow old as they near the end of their life cycle. It may seem sad that a person has grown old and cannot do all the things they once did, but try to look at it this way: When people grow old, that means they have been lucky enough to avoid things like accidents and diseases that could have cut their lives short. And better they are prepared for  the physical changes of old age, many people remain healthy and lead full and happy lives. 

Cults in DOM.Rep.

Cult  refers to a big social group dedicted to beliefs or practices that its culture it is  considered outside with a  positive or negative popular perception. Many cults are destructive or suicidal though others are considered very controversial for everyone around this country. There lost of cults which are being practiced in here whose results provoke misundestanding in the society,for example there is a cult called the church of the bible understanding that is a destrictive cult strated in 1971 by a usher and vacuum repairman in usa, this cult brought young teen as 13 years by drawing their weakness , this cult expanded almost for all the usa. In our country there lots of young people who are dedicaded to zatanism,they perform in cementery and houses away from people not to be founded for anybody,they make sacrifice and kill somebody, then that blood from that people is drunk by them,this way that sacrifice it is done. 

Cults

I didnt attend to class last Monday, so I had to browse some Internet sites to get some information about this new topic.

I share the assumption that some form of coercive persuasion or mind control is used to recruit and maintain members by suppressing their ability to reason, think critically, and make choices in their own best interest. However, most social scientists believe that mind control theories have no scientific merit in relation to religious movements.

                                                      Mind Control

·         Studies have identified a number of key steps in coercive persuasion:

·         People are put in physically or emotionally distressing situations.

·         Their problems are reduced to one simple explanation, which is repeatedly emphasized.

·         They receive what seem to be unconditional love, acceptance, and attention from a charismatic leader or group.

·         They get a new identity based on the group.

They are subject to entrapment (isolation from friends, relatives and the mainstream culture) and their access to information is severely controlled, according to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Ricardo Arjona, a famous Nicaraguan singer, says in one of his song:"Hay mas religiones que niños felices" ("There are more religions than happy children") and I think he is right.


There are more than seven cults in my little neighborhood. When someone is recruited, he or she becomes a new and different person. They only share with the people from the same cult forgetting their own relatives.

They also try to think and talk for you. They feel superior to the other people.

FENG SHUI this technique became very importan. They are a lot of people who believe the organization of apartment, house, offece and others. incluse personal style when we use some clothes, pants. tsher. in the Dominican Republic this technique are used. particularly in the area of constrution or apartment. sometimes when I travel out of town in hotels, I can see the good organizacions.the I Tecni shui is the ancient, China.

FENG SHUI

Historically, feng shui was widely used to orient buildings—often spiritually significant structures such as tombs, but also dwellings and other structures—in an auspicious manner. Depending on the particular style of feng shui being used, an auspicious site could be determined by reference to local features such as bodies of water, stars, or a compass. Feng shui was suppressed in China during the cultural revolution in the 1960s, but since then has increased in popularity.

Modern reactions to feng shui are mixed. The Skeptic encyclopedia of pseudoscience states that some principles of feng shui are "quite rational", while noting that "folk remedies and superstitions... [have been] incorporated into feng shui's eclectic mix.

TAP WATER

Tap water is potable water supplied to a tap (valve) inside the household or workplace. It is a principal component of "indoor plumbing", which became available in urban areas of the developed world during the last quarter of the 19th century, and common during the mid-20th century. The application of technologies involved in providing clean (potable) water to homes, businesses and public buildings is a major subfield of sanitary engineering. Calling potable water "tap water" distinguishes it from the other main types of potable water, such as water from rainwater-collecting cisterns, from village pumps (town pumps), or from streams, rivers, or lakes (whose potability varies).
