Unit 3.A term that caught my attention

A term that caught my attention in this unit was "POLLYANNA Syndrome". It means : "a person regarded as being foolishly or blindly optimistic" after the heroine of the novel "POLLYANNA" by Eleanor Hodgman Porter (1868-1920), american writer. (thefreedictionary.com).
Is difficult for me to assimilate that extremely optimism could be as bad as pessimism. even though,we have to be realistic,what's wrong with to be Pollyanna? I don't understand!
Well, maybe some people annoy about this type of behavior or personality. It is the only negative thing that I  perceive.

How different we are! By Rosa Batista

How different we are!
Some people don't care about what kind of food they should consume and they have good health, but others, even they care about almost everything, have bad health. Personally, I think it has to be with genes or with the immunology system's capacity of our bodies to maintain themselves  healthies. I assure you that your body tells you what is going wrong and we should to pay attention to those signs. (Observe your body after you eat something and how do you feel that day).
Even we are finicky eaters or big as spontaneous eaters we cannot abuse of our bodies.We should visit  a physician or a doctor regularly, keep moving and laughing. These advises can help a lot!

The Oldest Old

The Oldest Old

Written by Elcilia Bierd

   Many people think that the oldest old are those who had live a long live or have an average of  living longer than the average according to the country's rate. People who have a lot of sickness in body and mind. People who have a ''live to behind''. People who live in elderly homes waiting the death, away of the family that they raised. people who don't understand technology and the different world that they have compared to theirs in the past. Old people who are an economic burden for their family.

   It's true because old people are suffering the effects of many clinical situations, such as, arthritis, cancer, osteoporosis, Parkinson, Alzheimer, etc. that cost a lot of money and make them suffer.

It's true because they would never welcome the next day after going to bed or won't do that some of their contemporaneous. 

It's true because the family that they have raised are far away, don't love them or are dead.

   It's true but it isn't at the same time.

It isn't true because some of them have overcome many sickness and some of them are protected from many of them in some cases,

It isn't true because some of them have a independent live: They live in their proper houses but they prefer going to places where they can be attended for threatening some sickness without affect family's health.

It isn't true because in countries (like U.S.A) for working during many years, they receive a retirement pay. Payment based on the money they have saved when they were younger until their retirement. Something that I do now, when I'm young, for my future being a lovely granny. I hope so.

It isn't true because many of them accept that everybody is going to die one day. They live and enjoy what they have with the family and friends, not matter if they don't welcome the Sun when the dawn arrives the next morning.

   In both cases, it depends on the way in what the elderly people accept the life and what comes with that. You are included because you are going to be old in some decades, and me too. So, you have to think about it.

Addictions

Addictions

Written by Elcilia Bierd

   Talking about addictions is easy when you have a clear meaning about what an addiction is.
First of all, don't confuse an addiction with a hobby. A hobby is something you do for enjoyment, pleasure, entertainment, etc., that you can quit whenever you want to. Hobbies consume the time you think/decide they need, you can have many hobbies and they don't affect your life, health or relations with family, friends and other people. In fact, they are people how use to join their family using a hobby. For example, ridding bikes, surfing, jogging, playing chess, etc.

An addiction is something that you can't stop. It consumes your time, affect your psychical and mental health, the relation you have with your family, couple, and friends, and the way you develop your live.
Some addictions are dangerous. For example, the drug's use (or abuse) affects your body and mind; being shopaholic affects your mind and pocket; gambling addiction ( in casino) affect your pocket and self-control; alcoholism, which affects your body, can cause problems in family with scenes of violence included, and the list is longer and longer.

   Some people say that quit an addiction is easy. I say ''NO''. Why? Because it depends on what kind of addiction you have, the kind of person that has the addiction, the willpower and strong decision you have for getting out of where you are and the way that you use to face the problem.
The aid that you receive matters when you are in a recovery process, such as, psychological, social, etc., and other factors that I don't mention.

   Some people say that is easy to quit an addiction. I say ''YES''. But you would think I'm crazy because of the last paragraph. Why? It's simple: You start getting over an addiction when you accept you have one. the next steps for following depend on what factors that I mentioned before you take and the way you use them to get over the situation.

   In both cases all depend on YOU and the way you see it. If you had or have one or some addictions you would know what I mean.
So, tell me or tell us some of your addictions and how you got out of them.
I'll start first: I use cutting my hair with my fingers when I'm nervous, anxious or worried for something.
When I realized that I'm doing that, I stop and think what's going on that is getting me nervous, and stop it doing something different: I move my body (with exercise, for example), I try making crafting, drawing or something else, but I stop doing that because I know it is bad for me.
Now, it is your turn, tell me/us what's your addiction? How you get over it? What you recommend?

The Oldest Old: A Look At Centenarians

Hello people,

I am so happy to write about Centenarians. It is just because most of the time we do not pay attention to them. We believe they are too old to correct us and that we can do anything we want our ways. First of all, it should not be like that. We have to love, to respect, and to take care of them anytime we get chances to do so. They are the best teachers ever due to the fact that they have got a lot of experiences. Sometimes, life is really tough and when we get in trouble, we need those old smart people to help us out with our terrible situations.

These are three suggestions some Centenarians offer about living to be 100.

• Work hard
• Stay busy
• Always find something to laugh about

Nothing is very easy in this world and it is good to know that if we work hard, we will get some great benefits from it. 

More coming soon. Stay in tune!

Results from smoking cigarettes

     Since I was a little kid, I remember how my father enjoyed smoking. That irked me. I didn´t understand (I still don´t) what pleasure could he find sucking the cigarette butt, inhaling that nasty smoke and later throwing it out. Whenever he was starting to smoke, at that moment, I tried to stay aside from him. I always respeted him, but not his addiction for cigarettes. Although I never asked him how or when he started to smoke, I certaintly felt curiosity about what was so pleasant about that addiction.

     A particular moment comes to my mind and every time I remember it, I can´t avoid laughing. It happens that one of those occations when he was about to light a cigarette, I wrongly made a comment that really annoyed him to the point that I felt afraid of being punished. I told him ¨If the day arrives that I could have my own house I certainly will place a sign out of the door which will say -Smokers are not allowed. ¨ He just looked into my eyes and said ´´that´s right, first you have to have yours because in mine I do whatever I want. ´´ He really hurt me with those words but finally I accepted that maybe he was right because that was his house.

     Many years passed and the strong man that I knew, started to breath with diffculty and cough very frequently. He started to feel tired so easily. One day, he dicided to go to the doctor and what scared him turned to be true. He had lung cancer. In fact, the desease had affected even his throat. The news was shocking. The whole family was saddened. I can tell -that was the worst year of my life. Watching him being consumed by the desease. His body that once had big muscles seemed to shrank day by day. He fought fiercely against that evil desease but at the end it was too much for him. His lungs seemed like a bizarre mass of petroleum.

. 

I guess that all addictions are harmful but I could certaintly ensure that smoking is among the worst. And I still continue without understanding what is the fun in doing something that is completey wrong!!!!

Sentences with the vocabulary of lesson one

a) I really like to play dominoes and it is a little bit difficult for me to drag myself away when I am starting to
win.
b) Everybody knows that smoking is detrimental to one´s health but many people don´t seem to understand the risks.
c) I sweat so much because I run for about 2 hours. Now I crave for a glass of water.
d) She has practiced many times at the kareoke and now she has turned into a good singer.
e) Are you telling me that you don´t have the willpower to get away from drugs?
f) I was so addicted to the Internet that going through withdrowal was a difficult experience.
g) If Peter meets his friends, he loses track of time talking to them, forgetting all his duties at home.
h) I always criticized Nintendo players for lasting too long at that silly game, but when I tried the first match, I just got hooked on it.
i) If you accept my advice you should cut down on the amoung of cigarettes you smoke in one day.
j) When the doctor told me that drinking alcohol was affecting my kidneys I just went cold turkey.
k) Watch out for John. I think he will come out from behind the door and scare you.
l) I know he did the right thing. But, I guess he shouldn´t turn his friend in to the police when he noticed the robbery.
m) My sister and I used to talk a lot everyday, but just after he got married, she became cut off from me.
n) Michael takes his career very seriously. Working as a designer is all-consuming.

Addiction is part of us

The way i see addiction is that it is part of us.
I donot think that the addictions we  go through as a society
will be eradicated that easy. in my personal opinion, what we
have to do in order to stand this situations is to improve the
methods we already have in the way that our young people
get more access to them and that way help others that not even
imagine that they are addicted.

my part of centenarians is already gone

Maybe after i write this paragragh you all can get the meaning of my headline.

   i want to share with you how it feels to live with a centenarian.
it is something amazing and more for someone who was named for that person.
yes, it was my grandma who chose my name that is why whenever somebody call
me by my name i remember her, cool right? my grandma was a good example of well
living for me. those days i shared with her will keep in me forever. Everyday by her side
was a blessing for me that is why i still miss you aguelita even though i know you are gone
but iam thankful for giving me your wonderful last years. those i will always keep in my heart.

Elderly People in Dominican Republic

  In our country being an elderly means to e a person mistreated, abandoned and wasted in most of the cases. Our government does not provide good pension fund benefits, good health insurance for those people who had worked their whole lives in order to have a decent old age.

 The government should bring a better support to old people. Everyday we see in the news many pensioners who have to buy medicines, food, go to the doctor and do not have money because the receive a misery through their allowances. It has become difficult to be an eldery in a country which life cost is growing day by day.

Another point is that in other countries elderly people are respected, but our society is passing by a critical period of disorder in which values have been lost and it is reflected in the way our elderlies are treated. People do not give them a seat in the buses, do not let them make an oppinion if they want, do not help them in their basic needs.

We are the new generation of people who can make things change. Let's make a big effort, starting with our parents and relatives, let's help them, let's make them feel important and productive. They just want to know there's someone by their side.

We can inspire others with our good actions. Elderly people are a huge source of knowledge and beautiful experiences. Let's finish with this inequality.

The Oldest Old

               The Oldest Man In History

          Everybody longs for immortality; People want to live forever, but, unfortunately, there is a raw reality which establishes that every living human being or creature is to die. People try to keep living as much as possible, but the time comes when they leave this life. Nevertheless, there are people who have achieved to live for more than one hundred (100) years old. Living for over one hundred (100) years old is a privilege in this world that not everybody has had. I think that when you can contemplate various generations, having the opportunity to see your children, your grand children, your grand grand children etc.. you experience life from different angles, allowing you to understand more  what life is about. However,  there was a man who broke a record with his life, a man who could live for almost a thousand years old and I ask myself how would it feel?

         The holy bible says that there was a man who died at the age of 969 years old, his name was Methuselah. This blessed man lived for almost a thousand years on earth. He could contemplate more than twenty generations from him. His father was  Enoch a man who never saw death since he was taken alive to Heaven. Methuselah was Noah´s grandfather. Noah was the builder of the Ark. The phrase "old as Methuselah" is very commonly use to refer to any living thing reaching a great age since Methuselah´s feat is definitively worth remembering it. It is difficult even to imagine living for that period of time. So far, no one has reached Methuselah´s age. According to the Bible God determined that to humankind, limiting men to live one hundred and twenty years old as much due to men´s evil. In addition, it is important to remember that in order to live for long we have to live a healthy life: eating healthy food and doing exercise. That really counts! However, death is inevitable. Everybody shall die someday.

Addiction

                             Pornography Addiction 

           Many people turn into slaves of pornography due to the overuse or abuse of pornography which eventually causes negative consequences . The pornography addiction is very dangerous  since it induces an individual to live an unhealthy emotional life. A person who is addicted to pornography is surrounded by morbid thoughts which hinder  and stunt his potential. However, nowadays, this dirty addiction continues increasing due to the several ways available to access to pornographic stuff.  

       Since pornography has become a very-easy-to-get thing, as a result of this,  many adolescents and also children have been victims of pornography addiction and this addiction has altered their normal  growth  and emotional health. This problem has affected our society by promoting sexual intercourse in adolescents, this is why, we see so many pregnancies in adolescents at the age of twelve and thirteen years old respectively. Also, this problem has provoked countless rapes due to that Pornography addiction is a psychological problem that influences in the individual´s behavior .

     Many  relationships and even marriages have split up as a result of  pornography addiction which made the intimacy among couples, most of the time, irritating and unbearable so that they could not continue with their respective relationships. One of the most common problem is when one of the spouse clings on pornography in order to have sex then, that eventually brings inconvenient among the couple. Also, when that happens the spouse that is addicted to pornography ends up with not finding attractive his/her spouse  that is to say that unless they watch pornography, they can not have intimacy. This problem makes the relationship unhealthy.

     As a conclusion, pornography addiction is an issue which not only affects the intimacy of couples but also people´s behavior, feelings and emotional health. In my opinion, this topic should be spoken in churches and at homes in order to orientate people about this monster that may destroy a family. The problem is that people do not like to talk about this because they assume it is not appropriate but it is very important to warn people such as: couples, marriages, adolescents and children about the danger of watching pornography otherwise more people will become victims of this addiction.

   

     

  

The oldest old.

I strongly believe that being a centenarian must be a great cause of joy and a true blessing,not only for themselves,but also for their relatives,who are able to enjoy their presence for a longer time. To me, centenarians are as sweet and tender as babies, the only difference is that elder people have a lot of experience and knowledge to give,but unfortunately we barely pay attention to that. That is to say that our commitment  (young people) must be spending quality time with the elders,show them love and respect, and the most important thing,make them feel that they are alive and still ABLE to do a lot of things.So, people if we have the gift of having centenarians in our families or around us,let´sfeel grateful and try to learn as much as possible from them the secret of longetivity, that most of the times are simple things that we usually take for granted.

THE INTERNET IS NETWORK THAT CONNECT COMPUTERS SYSTEMS, THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO EXCHANGE INFORMATION WITH OTHER PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. IS COMPULSIVE ACTIVITY WHERE PEOPLES TO SPEND MUCH TIME IN FRONT OF  THEIR COMPUTER AND FORGET OTHER RESPONSIBILITY.

MOST OF PEOPLES DO NOT  USE TO READ IN A BOOK SOME INFORMATION IS MORE EASY SURFING THE NET, THAN READING FOR LONGER AND LONGER PERIODS OF TIME, IF YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT MEDICINE, PSYCHOLOGY, ETC.,  OR CHAT WITH FRIEND, FAMILY, ACROSS VAST DISTNACES, OR PLAY GAME THAT YOU LIKE. I THINK IS FOR THE  FACILITY THAT INTERNET OFFER PEOPLES SHOULD BE ADDICT.

PERSON ADDICTED TO DRUGS TEND TO BE AGGRESIVE, THEY REJECTED BY SOCIALITY, THIS PERSON WITH THAT PROBLEM PSYCHOLOGIC NEED HELP FOR CONTROL HIS ADDICTION. IN THIS PROBLEMATIC INFLUNCE  ECONOMIC FACTORS, LACK OF ATENCION THEIR PARENTS AND FRIEND.

 What is the Okinawa's secret? First, they eat healthy diet, they eat many fresh fruits and vegetables,they also eat fish often and drink a lot a water and green tea. but researchers think that the Okinawan have other other healthy habits as well. they  don't do hard exercises such as weight lifting or jogging-instead. they prefer relaxing activities like gardening and walking, researchers say that older

comment for the blog by Inocencia Lopez

In the first class the teacher did a question ..what is the definition of addiction, many students gave different definitions. for example; my classmate Jonathan said is a habit  that some people have and can't do it other students talked about different types of addiction like alcoholic, shopaholic workaholic

Addiction

                                                                Addictions.
             What i will write basing on an interview i saw last week SIN news. I just remember some lines but still i expose  what i understood is about addiction.

           The mayority of young people who are in that state feel able to do whatever they want, lose the love of the studies. The compulsive need to consume more end more drugs makes the person a vulnerable, who deseases affects biological, psychological,  physical, and social factors. Addiction can be both to substances such activities. It is devide into two group: the first group have drugs, snuff, alcohol, marihuana, crack, among others.; the second group are food, axersise,  pornography, video games, internet, etc.

         According to some doctors are drugs that cause depressing effects, some are hallucinogenic, a person searches substances different life style. The mayority of the young people who have addiction stolen their own mother for buy substance detrimental for the health.Well advised ower children, let"s give confidence and be their best friends that is not going to fail and tomorrow we will know where and with whom they are.

Opinion about old people

• Old people can be like children, because they need family´s help , when they are living with their family members,they get  new opportunity in their live, they can have another kind of live and a woderful maner to living more than 80s or 90s. 

• Centenarians eat a lot of  fat food,drinking alcohol and do not have any  kind of diet. Really I do not know what is the real secret to living  until 100 or 102 etc, year old, because they do not eat healty food and some of them do not do exercises.

 

• My opinion is, if I were a centenarian I stay busy, laugh and kidding, all the time, running in the park, doing exercises ,eating healty food and doing different activities. Although they are not living whith their family.

The oldest old.

Traditionally,old age has been seen as a time of decline and deterioration.
But in my opinion our culture is going in a wrong way about what they think of centenarians
Our elders should be a pride for the youth and the family in general but they aren't, we see them as a nuisance, They do not solve anything, and got bored with them ,Dominicans when they have elderly at home do the impossible to find a place to leave them, as a nursing home, and are often left in those places, I think we have to thank god the opportunity to have them much time with us.

Additions

Last week we talk about the internet and other additions... Now a days is common to see people from different ages spend hours and hours in front of the computer doing something like: chatting, playing online, sending e-mails, etc.. Now this is consider as an addition, a few years ago were considered as addition only to substances like: nicotine, drugs, but now exist more  things to be addicted: shop, work, game and more.
