Paul McKenna
1. What is your reaction to Paul Mckenna and what he does?
I think that mind is bigger than what we could think, and it could handle everyone, in this case he uses his mind to get inside others head and by making some little changes in their thoughts he’s supposed to make them became better and let’s them confront their problems without medications, and, if that’s true, that an interesting point of view different from the traditional medicine.
2. Have you ever been hypnotised?
No, I haven’t.
3. Would you like to be Hypnotised?
It’s a little bit strange, it’s a very difficult question because although it’s very interesting for me I really don’t know as much as I should know to risk my life, I don’t know the scopes of this practice, and I’m not shure if that could be the best way to confront problems.
4. If you were going to be hypnotised, what would you ask for help with?
I would ask for help about my fear of the heights.
SHATTERED GLASS
SHATTERED GLASS
This film tells the true story of the journalist Stephen Glass, who rose to meteoric heights as a young writer in his 20s, becoming a staff writer at "The New Republic" for three years, where 27 of his 41 published stories were either partially or completely made up. Looking for a short cut to fame, Glass concocted sources, quotes and even entire stories, but his deception did not go unnoticed forever, and eventually, those events stopped his career.

The film is an brilliant film which recounts the events that exploited the scandal of the magazine in which Stephen Glass published stories partially or completely made up. It’s developed the most of the time in the TNR offices. Although it’s a movie that talks about some complicated topics like rupture of ethics and the anxious of power that could fall into a “career mutilation” It’s interesting because it has a lot of exotic places, no violence, thrills, etc… but the most interesting is that it makes us thing about the importance of doing things well because if we don’t we can lose our lives as they are.
Essay:The role of motivation in employees.
The role of motivation in employees:
Today, the motivation of employees in a company plays a very important role, because in most cases, this will depend on the performance of the same and equally and can influence the behavior and sense of belonging in them towards company. The motivation in most cases, it is understood as incentives and not materiles materials that are given to employees as a reward for their efforts in the company, but until that point it's a good motivation in a company and this means that within of the same?.
First, and as mentioned earlier, the motivation is very important within a company, because this depends on the degree of satisfaction that the employees have towards it. A worker is motivated to work better, is going to feel comfortable with their work and what you are going to do with pleasure. For these reasons, companies should take into account the motivation of their employees, they are concerned about this, and implement activities that enable the integration of them with the values and culture of the organization, said that as a motto in their buses Hyunday Transit employees "Here transport the engine of our company", employees are at the heart of the organization, where they are kept afloat, then it does not make efforts to make them feel at ease with his company and sit with the family.
Contrary to this, the motivation is also extremely likely to be bad, because in many cases whether the motive was not known to administer a right way can lead to bad accustom to employees, and then what happens is that when the company can motivate them are going to be fine, but if for any economic circumstances the company can not do, they will feel upset and this can become a problem for managers of the organization. The reasons must be very well managed, and this must be carried out by the Human Resources department of the firm.
In conclusion, motivation is important in a company, only that this must be well managed by the directors of the Human Resources department. Depends on the motivation as they feel the workers within the company as well as a sense of belonging that they have toward the company and most importantly, the commitment that these acquired for the same.

Paragraph: What is the difference between ethics and politics?
What is the difference between ethics and politics?
First of all, it’s necessary to have present that ethics and politics refer both to the human practice, this is, to the actions that humans can realize, and the directions we can give to our will and freedom. The difference between ethics and politics is that the first one is an intimate and personal practice; while the second one is the coordination of many actions bearing in mind the will of the others because of being alive and being part of the society; but to do it, we must have clear what is ethics for one to integrate it with the definition of ethics of others. The politics turns around the laws and institutions created to elaborate and administrate them. Joining these ideas, we can say that ethics is the basic element to develop the politic how it must be developed.
Hitlerjunge
Hitlerjunge:
It is a interesting movie about the Second World War, in which everything was specially planed, every single detail. Tis is a movie wich shows the cruelty of war, and how we have became into killing machines. It’s interesting but it’s shocking in some scenes. It’s interesting how it shows that there’s no relevant difference between people of different cultures, and being racist doesn’t have any reason
b) Would you be willing to deny your beliefs (religious/political, etc) in order to survive like Sully did?
Words can be forgot, but they should do a difference between being alive or being death, if my words make me live, I wold deny my beliefs because if I stay alive, I could act to make them strong, but if I’m death, I could believe many things, but I can not act any more.
I think the most important thing is to have ideas clear for our selves, if others know what we realy belief doesn’t have the same importace, and if I have a good communication with god, he would know I’m doing it to complete my mission in the world, not because I realy don’t believe on him.

Summer of the article: Will globalization be reversed?
Will globalization be reversed?
By Dani Rodrik
Global integration, in large part, has been about the triumph of markets over governments. That process is now being reversed in three important ways.
First, Western finance will be re-regulated. At a minimum, the most freewheeling areas of modern finance, such as the $55 trillion market for credit derivatives, will be brought into the regulatory orbit. Rules on capital will be overhauled to reduce leverage and enhance the system’s resilience. America’s labyrinth of overlapping regulators will be reordered.
That leads to the second point: the balance between state and market is changing in areas other than finance. For many countries a more momentous shock over the past couple of years has been the soaring price of commodities, which politicians have also blamed on financial speculation. The food-price spike in late 2007 and early 2008 caused riots in some 30 countries. In response, governments across the emerging world extended their reach, increasing subsidies, fixing prices, banning exports of key commodities and, in India’s case, restricting futures trading. Concern about food security, particularly in India and China, was one of the main reasons why the Doha round of trade negotiations collapsed this summer.
Third, America is losing economic clout and intellectual authority. Just as emerging economies are shaping the direction of global trade, so they will increasingly shape the future of finance. That is particularly true of capital-rich creditor countries such as China.
The real important points here are 1 and 3, I think, while point 2 is a bit of a red herring. What is striking about the government response to the food crisis is how little of it there has been on balance, rather than how much. And Doha collapsed not because governments suddenly became enamored of protection, but because there was too little on the table for big countries like India and China for them to compromise on their offers.
The big question is what lessons the emerging students—and the disgraced teacher—should learn from recent events. How far should the balance between governments and markets shift? ... Provocative as it may sound in today’s febrile and dangerous climate, freer and more flexible markets will still do more for the world economy than the heavy hand of government.
OK, I grant that "freer and more flexible" is better than "heavy handed" but that would be true regardless of what follows after these qualifiers.
Summer of "Will globalization be reversed?"
Global integration has been about the triumph of markets over governments. That is being reversed in 3 important ways.
1. Western finance will be re-regulated. Rules about capitalism will be examinated to reduce influence and to improve resistance of the system.
2. Balance between the state and the market is changing in areas with exception of finance. In response, the governments across the emergent world, should make things like extend their scope and subsidies, eliminating the exports of the dominant matters or restricting the future tradings. The worry for safety food, was one of the reasons why the Doha of the commercial negotiations was ruined this summer.
3. America is losing economic and intellectual authority. Just as emerging economies, they are determining the direction of global trade.
The true important points are 1 and 3. About 2, is a government response to the food crisis, and Doha collapsed because there was no enough offer for big countries like India and China to compromise.
Free and more flexible markets will do more for world economy than the heavy hand of government.

song:White Lion - When The Children Cry
little child
dry your crying eyes
how can I explain
the fear you feel inside
cause you were born
into this evil world
where man is killing man
but no one knows just why
what have we become
just look what we have done
all that we destroyed
you must build again.
when the children cry
let them know we tried
cause when the children sing
then the new world begin
slittle child
you must show the way
to a better day
for all the young
cause you were born
for all the world to see
that we all can live
with love and peace
no more president
sand all the wars will end
one united world
under god
when the children cry
let them know we tried
cause when the children sing
then the new world begins
what "have we" become
just look what we have done
all that we destroyed
you must build again
no more president
sand all the wars will end
one united world
under godwhen the children cry
let them know we tried
when the children fight
let them know it ain't right
when the children pray
let them know the way
cause when the children sing
then the new world begins.
History:
"When the Children Cry" is a power ballad, performed by the rock group White Lion on their 1987 album Pride. The single peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, #53 in Canada, and #88 in the UK in early 1989.In early 2003, just before the beginning of the Iraq War, it was re-released as a cover by Christian indie rock group Seventh Day Slumber. In 2007, T Beats UK produced a hip hop remix of the song using a sample from the first verse.
Opinion:
This song touched my heart. It is a nice song which makes me think about what we should do to make a better place for our children to let them grow up with love and peace. I haven’t lived in any world war I don’t know how it feels to live where everybody just fights and children lose everything, but I can feel this song and it touches me every time again and again and just likes me the same way. I think people just kill each other for money, for fame and just because they don t like others, but that’s not the way to solve problems, they must search for different ways to solve problems.lunes, 29 de septiembre de 2008

Essay
Essay: "The influence of TV on children’s social development"
I’d like to talk to you about the influence of TV on children’s social development now days, because in our society TV is on of the most important aspects in the raising of the modern children.
I have divided my talk into 3 parts: modern children behavior, TV ethic and the relation between them.
First I am going to state some facts about modern children behavior; the kids of our days take the TV as one of the most important activities since they are so young, this is because they raise up alone since their parents (mother and father) have to work almost all day, all week, for example the children prefer to see programs like “Patito feo” and “El ultimo matrimonio feliz” instead of going to the park or playing.
On the other side the TV programs are focused on the commercial publicity and not in the educative schedule introducing insensitive visual material in the familiar hours. Programs like “Naturalia” have been removed from the schedule and more commercials of different brands like “Costeña” have replaced them.
That brings me to relate the quantity and the quality of TV that the children are seeing and realize that the children are absorbing all this information without any guidance so they assume all this data in an inadequate way encourage them to commit vandalism acts and could make them dangerous.
Finally, the parents must have at least a level of consciousness and management of what their children see; to make this possible, a good family communication and a nice home environment must be created.

Script: So what is it about the cell phone?
So what is it about the cell phone?
Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, the world has become a smaller and faster place. The time used to travel to far distances has decreased. The growth of new technologies, traveling and communicating has become simple daily tasks for many people. Through the growth of global communication, people have become closer to others across the globe, and business has gone world wide. One invention that came along with the technological revolution is the Cell Phone. Cell phones allow us to be reachable anywhere at anytime, letting us communicate even while traveling. As time becomes more valuable for people, the importance of accessibility to communication also increases.
The evolution of the mobile phone has allowed reducing their size and weight, since that first mobile phone in 1983 that weighed 780 grams, the current most compact with higher performance and service. The development of smaller batteries and longer, sharper screens and colors, incorporating more friendly software makes mobile phone a very appreciated in modern life. The advance of technology has made these devices incorporate features that not long ago seemed futuristic, like games, music playback MP3 and other formats, email, SMS, organizer PDAs, digital photography and digital video, video, Internet surfing and even digital television. The mobile carriers are already thinking about new applications for this small device that accompanies us everywhere. Some of these ideas are: payment method, location and identification of individuals. One must always take into account the great strides suffered from the first cell phone until today.
Actually, it is easy to live with cell phones most of the time, unless you are in a private place where you can’t use it. But, as many things, new technology brings some bad consequences. This paper will briefly discuss the development of cell phone and its uses along with the negative impact it can have on our health, or the effects could have being driving behind someone who is talking on their phone and not paying attention to the road. Either way they are in our lives to stay so we need to know whether they are safe and if they are not we need to learn to use them safely.
