Dogs in your life. Unity and Coherence.

     Pets and trained animals have been by our side almost from the beginning of our history, primitive societies used animals to help hunt or cultivate vegetables... but the animal that has probably stayed with us for the longest time is the dog. Throughout our history it has been proved that having a dog has both physical and psychological benefits.

     Having a dog is not an easy task, we are in charge of it's life and as every living being, it has to cover it's necessities, so we'll need to have some programmed hours to take it out, keeping our selves active. Furthermore, our pet needs to play and to have fun, as a result, we'll become it's playmate, that means, running, jumping and an endless list of activities that will active our body almost without realizing; doing this thirty minutes per day we'll be doing a really complete and healthy aerobic activity.

     Another set of benefits that brings us having a dog are psychological, just the responsibility of having a life in our charge and by knowing that we have to look after it will make us be more reflective and organized. A dog is a very loving pet that is always aware of it's master, this will bring out our feelings and will help us to be more open with the rest of people and improving our character, in addition to an escape for stress.

     The last kind of benefits are the personal ones, a dog will become for sure your best friend, he'll always be by your side and he'll never drop you out, moreover he will help you to keep a physical and mental balance in addition to be one of the most loyal animals you can have, so if you own a dog, you're doing a favor for both.

Práctica evaluable 4. Opinion essay.

     Almost everybody sees the Internet as a secondary media, something doubtful and that you can't trust, and that same people also think that TV, radio and press will continue as we know them nowadays for many years.

     TV and radio, but specially TV have recently evolved in order to be able to compete on the web's field. Smart TVs and many other improvements, in my opinion, useless, have been developed just because the Internet has started to overtake the TV industry, but not everybody know this. This is just one of the reasons that make me think of the TV's decadency era.

     Otherwise, radio has known how to get older, when you're second-best, you're always looking for ways to get better and reach the first place, this is known with the term "underdog", but the one who is in the first place, usually gets relaxed, stops innovating and generally gets worse, and that's exactly what has happened, the radio started offering its services on the web, keeping that way their listeners, but TV didn't and now it's too late. That's a very valuable factor in enterprises' economy called adaptation capacity. Another fact that makes me think of the TV's decadency is that, for the first time, in 2013 online investment overcame to the TV one in the USA, and this tendency is still like this.

     I think that, still today, the internet is a brute diamond, there are many things that we haven't already discovered about it, things that would surprise us for sure, and in my opinion, it represents future today.

     Pollution and the greenhouse effect are issues that become more and more important everyday and we do almost nothing to solve it, but it's not as difficult as many people say. The Earth's atmosphere is composed of some different gasses as nitrogen, oxygen, water steaming a small percentage of CO2, but since the 21th century until now, this percentage is increasing, causing the greenhouse effect.

     We could reduce CO2 emissions by limiting the usage of fossil fuels like coal or petrol, but this solution would affect negatively to many enterprises and the economy would get worse. Another way to reduce CO2 emissions could be by making electric vehicles more popular and offering people some king of help to buy one, but this solution would take a lot of time because not every car brands have developed their own one, so they would be in a hurry to produce that vehicle and they could not be as efficient as they're supposed to be, in addition to be badly developed because of the hurry. My last proposal consist of helping enterprises to change their fuel-powered engines to some electric ones, so they would be more efficient and many other enterprises would try to make the same in order to be able to compete with their competitors.

     In conclusion, changing our planet's future is in our hands and it's still possible, I'm not here to fix the world but, with small ideas like those and a positive mentality we could do a lot for our planet, the only thing I know for sure is that, if we don't change our mind, this problem is not going to get solved and maybe, it will be too late when we try to do something.

     Something I really like is walking without thinking about where to go. I consider myself a very reflexive person and when I really want to think about something that worries me, I just start walking, that way, all m thoughts come by themselves, more fluent and clear. I also do this when I feel stressed or I can't find the solution for a problem. I just know a single person who do this too and when we met, while walking, the conversation becomes more interesting and we find more topics to speak about, however, when we stop and sit anywhere, it happens the opposite. In conclusion, this has helped me with some important decisions and I don't feel weir about it.

Essay.

Internet vs conventional media.
     TV, radio and and many other media have recently lost much credibility and their popularity, either because of their lack of variety, fake news sold as true facts, or just because you're fed up with watching commercial after commercial.
Internet has many advantages that traditional media doesn't, and for the first time, in 2013 Online investment beat to the TV one in the USA, and in 2014 such an important news paper as The New York Times, was overtaken by other similar papers on the web.

Throughout history, communication has been the fact that has allowed us to evolve, and we have always been looking for new ways to improve it. In the 15th century the printing press allowed to reproduce the same document time after time very quickly in comparison with the traditional method of copying by hand. This also made possible a huge diffusion of the culture and reinvented communication and transmission of information between people. The next revolution came by the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th with the invention of the radio by Marconi, the radio made possible to send instant messages to other people who were listening them live. Invented in the 1920s and popularized after the World War II, the TV offered us moving images in addition to sound; news and actuality were brought to this medium and progressively TV shows and new channels were introduced, in addition to cinema's boom.

Everything looks great like this, but it's not that good, like everything by the hand of human being, those media got corrupted or controlled and became doubtful, but nowadays there is a media that can't be controlled or restricted, internet. Internet offers an infinite amount of content, variety, different and free opinions, actuality and flexibility to access to it, and it suprimes monotony because TV or cinema stars have now a huge competition, hidden by other media and who came up thanks to internet. But the best thing about this is that anyone can take part of this, you can give opinions, contrast information in a short time, and even do the things you used to do personally in determined places, right from your computer or your mobile.

In summary, internet offers many advantages over conventional media. Flexibility, variety, free opinions, debates, more simple, no manipulation, freshness, younger, and simply, more human, are aspects that characterize internet, it avoids super-productions and TV sets, so it's closer to the masses, and in consequence, more popular. Unlike before, mouth to mouth distribution is over and now people have 360º vision and we can choose, so now it's your turn to decide the way you want to be informed, I've already make my choice.
