THE ELDERLY PART II

Even though I was absent from class last Tuesday, I can write about this issue because I keep reading and studying the last class we were discussing which was "The internet and other addictions" and the present theme now to discuss is "The centenarian people".

Well, talking about ages, I have to say that my family members and I have been very lucky because my grandparents even though they're dead, they died over 90 years. For instance, when my mother's mom died she was 120 years old and her great grandmother died when she was 135 years old but my father's dad died when he was 91 years old and my grandmother, my dad's mom died when she was 95 years old so this explains the lifespan of my family is a matter of genealogy.

Many people do not want to live forever but if I had the chance, I would not lose that opportunity of living endlessly. It would be marvelous to see how the world is changing through the time and enjoy the new inventions the years to come. Speaking about elderly, I have to tell you that I enjoyed of being with my grandparents because they coddled me a lot and thought me many things which have been useful during my whole life however, many young people do not like to be alongside elderly or do not want to stand by them and others reject them without any reason not thinking sooner or later they'll become in elderly also.

What contributions make the elderly to society?

Well, they contribute in helping their family raising the children, they could take grandkids to school or look after them while parents at work so they're useful after all but many of us do not treat them or see them as people who still can contribute with many things to society instead, many of us think the elderly are out of phase or kilter disregarding they have lived more than us, have experienced and lived times which we will not live or experience never in our lives. With the elderly, we are backing time taking advantage of their knowledge which can be useful in our present and future lives.

We have to respect them because apart of being our grandparents, they have lived a life before us, and they're like living libraries where we can get very rewarding information which are valuable both for us and for our family.

The elderly

Nowadays the Dominican's youth disrespect the old people, as a result of this issue our teenager are growing up with a huge lack of manner.

 In my personal opinion parents must teach their sons that our elderly were the heroes of our society, we are living comfortable age because they fought our war, defeated the hunger, they bore several tyrants and they lived a countless of fact and for this simple reason our elderly deserve respect.

I know couldn't be in the class the last Tuesday because I've had some family problem, but this topic is one of the most important theme in our society. 

The old age

Last tuesday we were discussing about the old age. The professor asked the question about what did we think about aging? There were different opinions about the issue. A classmate said that some of her relatives live longer. It´s a happiness to live longer because many young people die very young. Some of them don´t want to be old because they say that they don´t want to depend on their family. In the old age , there are many health problems , and the vitality is not the same. In our country, some people don´t value the elderly people, some of them send their parents to the asylum. In the youth, we have to have our family because it´s bad to be alone and lonely. Reach the old age is a privilege, and I want that God gives me a healthy, and long life.

Unit 1 - The Internet And Other Addictions.

       

For many years people have been used the internet , some of them like a hobby, others like a way to find new dates for a relationship, but the truth is that now a days internet it's like an addiction, such as drugs, alcohol or even sex.
The problem starts when you begin to neglect your diet,your health,your marriage and last but not least your family.

The internet is a good tool but, when you are using it with sense.
For instance: We can look tons of english materials such as, books, magazines, songs ,movies , and so on and so forth.
Meet people from another country and culture,practice our language with them and who knows maybe get married and have our visa. ( LoL.)
But the point is that we have to use the benefit of the net and take advantage of that.

On the other hand, if we are depending too much of anything no matter what it is, that's the signal that we need professional help, I mean we were born without any of that stuffs , So that means that we can live without any of it.

So enjoy your life,have fun,hang out with your family, that's one of the best things in life and is real and for free.

A big problem in the net is the abused, specially the porn,that has been destroying families over the years. some men see those beautiful,sexy and gorgeous women and then they start to reject their wives,because they dont have those bodies.(and the rest we know how could end).

The first step to overcoming an addiction is to recognize the disease and then seek the appropriate help depending on the situation and take time to recover, everything is possible if you believe in yourself.

Elderly Peolpe

Last night we talk about elderly people, some classmates

said how many years are their grandparents, and when they finished the teacher Atilano ask How many years do you think I have? There were different opinions 32, 43, 50 … and I remember my friend Nelson said the teacher beyond his late sixties, but I know you know what is the real number, if you don´t know you didn´t go to the class last tuesday, please try to be in the class no fail.

Ok let´s talk about the topic The Old People, I think is the best way to learn about the history. My father has 87 years old, and I love listen to him when he´s speaking, but I feel sad when he tell me “ when I´m sitting in a chair I can´t stand up, because I feel my bones hurt me a lot” I think my father is between wellderly and Illderly. I´m proud and happy about my father I told him everytime “I Love You”

Please try to help others people, but especially the oldest.

Kuwait Liberation Day

After Iraqi president Saddam Hussein's troops invaded Kuwait on august 2,1990, several countries in the Unite State Nations formed a military coalition including troops and equipment from the US, France, and Britain to force them out. Operations Desert Storm began on January 17,1991, and, for five weeks, US  and Britain air forces relentlessly bombed Baghdad.

This was followed  by four days of a ground war, which result in Hussein's troops leaving Kuwait. February 26 is a national holiday in Kuwait celebrating the end of  Iraq's military presence in Kuwait.

internet addiction and others

People with an addiction do not have control over what they are doing,taking or using.Addictions do not only include physical things we consume, such as drugs or alcohol.there are many addictions as people lose control and stop them take time.

But I think one of the most important additions is addition to internet,because people have access almost everywhere.My additions are using my cell in social networks and watching TV.There are many types of additions where people is involved.addictions that take them the most of the time doing anything important.

Opinion about addictions

Addiction is a strong desire to do or have something regularly.  A lot of people are addicted to the internet. They spend many hours in front of a computer and they don't have time to share with their  family and friends. Some people when they are surfing the net, they forget that they need to eat and take a shower . Internet is not bad, the problem is how we use it. Everything in life has its time, and we have to make a schedule  of each activity that we have to do. Besides the internet, there are other addictions  such as drink  alcohol, coffee, smoke, use drugs, shop in a compulsive way, eat in an excesive manner, etc.

Thanks God I can start writing because today I am in. Todays class was interesting and the most important part is that at home for example I have the two cases. First I have ma father who always is talking about how many sicknesses he has. On the other hand is my mother who doesnt care how old she is, what is really important for her is to be happy and ready to enjoy the time with her family and friends. My mom is an exellent salsa dancer. My friends ask me to take her to our reunions because she is very funny and full of energy.

the internet addiction

to day some young have internet addiction, the prefer to pass all the time and the computer and this is a serious problem . I have one example , my younger sister she spends 13 to 20 hours a day using a computer and when she is in the computer she dosent eat,  and she dosent like communicating with her friend and her family . she does a lot of thing in the computer but in especially she sends e mail , plays computer game and chat rooms. I think that she has begun to surf the net. She is losing the intimacy in her life by the computer. In my opinion, i want that my sister cans overcome this problem and i tell her  you can visit support groups a special form of therapy, they are helping people to control their on line habit. I recommend to young to do other thing. The internet is important but not is all , you can practice exercise and go to movie.
