Nanotechnology: a path unobstructed

In "Nanotechnology" the principal objective of this new technology is the solution to the problems of pollution of the planet, food and health problems so that fewer people will die. However, this technology can also greatly affect basic sectors such as agriculture, health and nutrition since they do not have laws to restrict the use of it, bringing the improper handling of this science, causing irreparable damage to humanity .
Although offers many benefits for medicine to combat viruses and bacteria or destroy cancer cells, also offers the creation of new environmental products to prevent erosion and clean up contaminated sites, among others. On the other hand, it can generate damage to the environment and change the current brightness land, destroying large areas of the planet by the use of much larger machines and also the creation of the so-called nano-biotechnology in which agencies and create products whose form and would be uncontrollable and unpredictable behavior.
Furthermore, the management of this new technology will enable the improvement of our life, because with the implementation and monitoring of machines and structures to achieve great benefits that would increase the chances of settling the problems that are being presented today at days with the environment, health, food, etc. Despite, the fact that there is not even a regulation on the part of intergovernmental agencies, using science to achieve this lead to the development of the planet and enforcement techniques that would lead to the prevention of future disease and damage to land.
In conclusion, I think that it is clear that possesses the potential impact of nanotechnology in the life of man and the planet as though it has some risks as those already mentioned, are the biggest advantages it offers, because with the development of applications that were considered science fiction but which are now a reality that carry multiple possibilities for progress to all humanity, will be the man to be responsible for the success and good use of this science or the damage to the world.

SMOKING KILLS


Now days the principal death causes are pulmonary cancer and respiratory problems which are part of the people life between 12-60 ages, this disease is caused by the cigarette consumption.


There are many people that say some favour arguments about the consumption of the cigarette; between these one is that it is a aid for the anxiety, help you lose weight, calm nerves and relaxation. All these myths are caused mainly by the management of information in advertising and media because the consumption of thissgenerates great economic income to the countries.


There are movements and campaigns against the use of cigarette because this not only causes problems for people but also the environment. However, consumtion is to high and this has been difficult for goverments to have control this.


Finally, I think that the goverment should put more control to media communication because this is a very influential factor in society, furthermore increasing the fine for people who sell cigarettes to young people.

BANK LENDING TO ALLOW AN EXPANSION OF LOW INTEREST RATES THIS CAUSES THAT A EFFECT OF SNOW BALL AND PRICES AS A RESULT OF BANKS VALI MUCH LESS THAN THE THEY BELIEVED, AND PROVIDES A PROBLEM OF INSOLVENCY AND STOPPED THE LOANS.
ALSO ANOTHER CONSEQUENCE OF THIS EVENT IS THE BEGINNING GIVE A BANKRUPTCY OF THE INVESTMENT BANKS IN THE UNITED STATES FOR EXAMPLE BANK LEHMAN BROTHERS WHICH REPRESENTS ABOUT 600 BILLION. THE INVESTORS TO THIS CRISIS IS BACK PESSIMISM AND STOPPED CERTAIN ACTIONS TO INVEST IN GLOBAL TOTAL GOES TO THE BANKRUPTCY.
FINALLY, ALL THE POOR MANAGEMENT IN THE FIELD THAT CAUSES A EFFECT OF SNOW BALL AFFECT PRICES OF OIL AND FOLLOW SINCE THEY DROPPED. WE HAVE SEEN BANKRUPTCY BANKS AND HAS CREATED THIS CRISIS PANIC AND NOT JUST BAD CONSEQUENCES FOR UNITED STATES BUT FOR THE MARKETS ASIA, EUROPE AND AROUND THE WORLD.

END OF THE ILLNESSES

Louis Pasteur was born in 1822 in Dole, France. At the beginnis of the XIX century. The case of the infections was not known nobody knew that the germs trasmited illnesses, so at that time the antibiotics didn´t exist, neither others medications, an be cause of that a lot of people died.
At that time, many scientists believed that the bacteriums and other beings could be born of something that was not life. Most people thought that the bacteriums came from the atmosphere mainly of the dirt, so Pasteur demostrated that this was not true. He discovered that the bacteriums existed in the atmosphere and they have thee capacity of multiplying because it was through that the illnesses were due to attack germes that come for the exterior of our body.
When he discovered that those bacteriums produced many illnesses, it caused great a concern and concluding in the creation of a liquidate that could put an end to the bacteriums and it consequently the illnesses, the liquids would know each other like vaccinate, that are mixture of antigens that once inside the organism it cause an attack answer, denominated antibody.

PLAY TEAM SPORTS AND PLAY INDIVIDUAL SPORTS

Now a days there are some people that prefer to play team sports because they say that it´s funnier and better because you can learn different things from the other people. However, there are other people that prefer to play individual sports because they feel more independence.
As a result, there are some similar things between these people. First the playing team sports and play individual sports can practice different activities, for example, dancing, yoga, go to the gym, run, no matter if it is individual or in group; these activities health to improve the life of the people.
In contrast, the people who prefer to play team sports sometimes are more social, practice more activities for example, soccer, volleyball, basketball and other things. Also these people have more friends and it´s better because they help each other. On the contrary it´s different with the people who prefer individual sports because they can´t practice soccer, volleyball, basketball and other activities; besides they are more independant and they always practice the different sports alone.
In conclusion, I think that it is better to play team sports because they are more funnier, you can work with many people and these people help you to improve in different activities.
