CRIME “Stop this please, we need help”

"Stop killing innocent people".........

What does CRIME means? After starting with this topic; I will like to share what does a crime means. A crime is an offence against a public law. In my words, for me a crime is an action that a person made in order to violate the law and to damage our society. A crime is always sanctioning if the person that commits it was found. We can’t see this topic as one, because in my opinion this joins lots of people in order to get with the criminal.

What are some types of crimes? We can find lots of crimes but the most important are these ones:

1) Serial crime (with a serial nature).

2) Federal crime (federal offense)

3) Organized Crime (transnational grouping manage by the leader)

4) Signal Crime (anti-social behavior)

5) Verbal Offence (limitations on freedom of speech)

8) White-Collar (committed by a well-standard person)

I’m going to be honest; I love crimes, I love the investigations and mystery that all these actions involve. For example there is a program on TV that I always see it (it name: “La Ley y El Orden”). I prefer to do these kinds of things and spend my night watching these movies than hanging out with my friends /depends.

Now, I’d had already see millions of cases of crimes that were very difficult and horrible to solve because they were about suicide or violation, so they were very aggressive. But one recent crime that happened right here in Mexico captured my attention. This crime was the one from the girl Paulette.

The first time I saw it, I thought: “ it’s the mom definitively”; but then when the girl appeared on the bottom of her bed, I started making different hypothesis. One of them is that maybe the mom got scared because it was an accident and she hide the baby, so then she get the baby out again and put it as if someone comes and put her there. But for example how does the police, with all that stuff of cameras, radios and technology couldn’t see who was the person that entered and hide the baby there. Another reason for the one I thought that was her mom is that when she is talking to the media, I don’t know if she was in shock or whatever but she doesn’t express her feelings. She was frozen; she doesn’t even have a tear.

Now, the other one that was suspicious for me or a bid doubt was her father. Maybe he wasn’t in her house, but for example he can get this as a vengeance toward her wife because they were separated. So, he left the girls and the mom says that they slept at 8 o`clock and when at 8 in the morning the “nana” came, she saw that the girl wasn’t there. But the only thing is that how does they can make this!!! Kill a girl of 4 years in order to take vengeance or any other objective that isn’t an excuse to kill a girl neither to kill someone or something.

POVERTY

I will love to share with you how does the word Poverty is one of the most common during this and the past decades. My question is; Why are we living such a poverty, if we are getting more technology and machinery, why can't we make our standar of life higher that the actual .

Don't you imagine that lots of people right now they are standing out there in the wind, in the sand or in the floor of cement really cold. They are sleeping on the street using newspapers to protect form the weather; how many people is living in carton houses; how many people is having their babies without medical services, how may people is wishing to eat only a piecer of bread. Well, I can continue all day long telling what does poor people do in order to survive, but this is not my point during this post. So, let me better tell you about what are the causes of poverty.

1) Almost half of the world population live on less than $2.50 per day.

2) The GDP of 41 heavily Indebted poor countries is less than the wealth of the world's 7 richest people.

3) Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names.

4) Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn’t happen.

5) 1 billion children live in poverty (1 in 2 children in the world). 640 million live without adequate shelter, 400 million have no access to safe water, 270 million have no access to health services. 10.6 million died in 2003 before they reached the age of 5 (or roughly 29,000 children per day).

"Poverty is the majority of the world's people and nations. "

THE HUGE JOB

BE CAREFUL!

The huge job, well in this post I'm referring to the Corruption system that almost all of our countries have. This system of corruption consists in the taking of money it is not form their own work. They are taking that money sometimes by making like works with other persons, narcotraffic, and so many things that create a great imapct and affect a lot the economy and standard of living in our countries.

I'll like to specify my post in Mexico that is one of the countries with a Democratic government that presents almost always a corrupted system. What does people is thinking by doing this? is the question that I I'm always asking me. Why? Well, I realize that people make this not because they need the money, but sometimes they are forced to do such "obligations".

I'm really scared about all this because Mexico is increasing evertime more; we are having not only corruption, but we are also getting all this kinds of violence (violation, drugs, suicide, deads, killes, thieves, etc...) Our country is presenting such problems that make us appear as a poor country in respect and lack of order, but yes they said that we are rich in humilious persons.

All this problem "CORRUPTION", creates great impacts that we can't even imagine what does this simple act make such things. For example our country is suffering of diseases and of poorness, but no, the government can't do anything because they don't have enough money. And tell me why does the main political figures have as much money as they can and they said that they don't have enough money to pay or to help a bunch of friends that are sufferin of hunger or cold.

Invictus

I decide to made a blog of the movie Invictus because I enjoyed a lot this movie and because it is a really nice one; apart from that I remembered that on class you told us about a book ( I can’t remember the name nor the author) that has basically the same theme that the movie has. In these case is about how Nelson Mandela, the South African president, achieves to unify the apartheid-torn lands. How he achieves it? well I am not really telling you so that you watch the movie; but the movie is centred a lot in rugby ( yes, rugby the sport) and how rugby’s national team becomes a key element to the country unification in a political strategy. This movie teach you that even thought it may not always be clear, behind every decision and act there’s a reason. It also gives us an overview of how political strategies are organized and the importance of paying attention to small little details that may seem insignificant but turn to be very helpful at the end and without them achieving your goal could get even harder.

Lets sing all Together!

“United until Dead”

Have you ever heard a song named: “We are the World”; well I will like to talk about his because I love to sing and the purpose right here is to see how all this beautiful voices join only to sing this wonderful melody. We can say that it is only a song, but I want to make a little emphasis right here were the song is dedicated to the children and adults that are suffering and living that tremendous tragedy. Haiti is the name of the city that is living all this consequences (in the last piece of the song we can hear that a singer says: Haiti, Haiti, Haiti…. I love it).

We can see that a few years later we had Michael Jackson’s version were he sang also with lots of famous singers completely incomparable with the actual ones (they had voices that can’t be consider as the ones in the actual artistic world).

Now, what I really wanted to tell you is the impact that this song create in society. As my point of view the most important thing was that people and society can appreciate all this voices and the union that they are presenting because we had rappers, romantics, rockers, etc.. So, that way we can see that even though we are different in character, characteristics and culture; we are always united until dead(like the phrase I wrote in the beginning of the text); we are always united in this type of tragedies and cases that impact our economy, society and also it is something that touches our heart. We are making things to save does people and try to help them in the basic needs they have (food, water, etc…).

World Hunger

What do you prefer: a pizza or a soup of vegetables? When your mom cooks something you don't like, do you eat it? Suppose you are very very hungry and you only have a hamburguer, you see a child who has eat nothing for a week, would you give it to him, would you give him half, or would you give hin nothing? Would you put yourself on a diet?

Alimentation is an essential element for the people's health. It is based on the quality of the food, the quantity of food that you consume, and the habits of the person, including other factors such as the time of sleeping and excercise made; with all of these you can get the energy to endure all life's situations. People should eat a balnace diet, consuming the correct quantities of the four groups of food of the nutritional pyramid (carbohydrates, fats, vegetables and fruits and sugars). If a balance diet is not consumed, people are expossed to serveral diseases such as anemia, leukemia, and others.

However, have you ever think about children who are working in the street trying to help their parents econimical situation, woman who need to work the entire day to feed her children, or people in Africka whose diet is based mostly on a piece of pure bread and some fruits?

These people are not receiving a proper diet, they can't even consume a muffin or an ice tea.

On the other hand, the rest of us are very strict. We are never comfortable with anything, and we always want to get what we want.

When a child does not like what his mom has cooked, he refuses to eat it. He always wants his desires to be supplied. The child starts with a show (crying and kicking everything) until he gets what he wants to eat. Another example are anorexics; these girl refuse to eat. They don’t even want to taste the smallest and most delicious cookie just to keep a “good body”.

We need to find a solution to hunger. We need to focus and take advantage of what we have because tomorrow it might have disappeared!

We need to put on practice our values such as:

· Solidarity: Think about others instead of only about yourself.
· Humanism: Treat others as a human should be treated.
· Reciprocity: Resources should be given the same among citizens.
· Fairness: We all humans have the same opportunities.

Poor people, Africans, or any other people not able to taste a good piece of bread are no guilty. They did not choose that situation; they were just committed into that, and now they have to endure it.

Most of these people try to get over their situation; they look for a better life, but they would not get out of the hole without our help. They need us, they need the entire world.

My ideas for solving the problem of hunger are:
· Eliminating the discrimination of race, color, and sex.
· More institutions in charge of helping kids without parents, or kids whose parents are not in conditions of giving them a good life.

Lets not complain about what we have, lets take advantage of it. Lets help everytime we can, and help wihout waiting to receive something. Lets open our eyes and see the suffering of others, we are not the only ones in this world. Help everytime you can, you don't know if sometine you would be passing through a similar situation.

What is going on with people?

Since the year when Calderon became president, I have been wondering, what is going on with people? Why do they complain of the national situation but still vote for mediocre candidates? WHY?

First, I want to write about Sonora. Before the tragedy of ABC, everything was alright; Elías Serrano and Pano Salido were the favorites candidates, all indicated that they would win the election. But then, suddenly a daycare named ABC burned down. People not only in Hermosillo, but also in Mexico were concerned about the babies and how to heal the surviving babies. But then, I am not sure of the stupid guy who came and told that relatives of Eduardo Bours were the daycare's owners, and about IMSS and that it was their fault and bla bla bla. And all people started to chase them until they went to jail. Only a few people still were concerned about the babies and how to send them to a hospital specialized in burns in the United States. Even though it was actually their fault, Elías Serrano, Pano Salido and us did not have to pay for it. People in Sonora started to think that the two candidates were just like them and among other things. But, are they the same just because they belong to the same political party? I don't think so. I still keep thinking if Sonorenses are so spiteful that they prefered to vote for two guy, who actually look like thieves, than to keep their decision, to be strong, to move forward. "But, is that the tragedy of ABC was a crucial factor." Not true at all. The old governor did many good things for Sonora, and he made some mistakes as well. HELLO, HE IS A HUMAN, TOO! But, did he do something when their friends and relatives went to jail? He did nothing. However, I wonder why people didn't think twice before voting. Now, they complain about tandeo and that they barely have water when they need it, but they mainly complain about insecurity and all the crimes that have took place in Sonora in the past months. Where is your wonderful and fabulous Guillermo Padrés Elías? What has he done, besides taking your water away? Has he solved any problem? What about the economic crisis? Does Sonora have enough jobs? Are people staying here, or they prefer moving to the US? I'm not writing about the bald guy who is supposed to be our mayor, because I don't really know what he has done. I think his wife has done more things, but I really dislike her, and I'll explain it: My mom is a teacher in kindergarden that is located in Olivares, before Javier Gandara won the election and the daycare burned down, this "high-class lady" came by and told the principal of the kindergarden where my mom works, that they would build something else there because she pleased. Oh please! Her husband hadn't won the election yet, and she was already planning. I wonder why people complains if they were the ones who made that happen.

Blood Diamond: Sierra Leone Case

Blood diamonds are diamonds originated in areas controlled by forces opposed to the current governments. They are used for insurgent groups to fund war, which means that with the money they obtain, they buy weapons and gun and do other illegal activities. It is stated that these precious stones (also known as war diamonds) are a crucial factor that makes brutal wars in Africa last longer. In Sierra Leone, conflict diamonds continue supporting rebel groups, such as Revolutionary United Front (RUF), which acts totally against the will of restoring peace in the continent.

People in Sierra Leone deserve a good life, but these groups are making it impossible. These groups invade the villages and maltreat people; they kill children and men, they injure them, they rape girls and women, and many people have been taken from away their families by rebel groups to work in the mine, and if they try to rebel or even tire, the soldiers hurt(like the boy in the photo, he lost his hands to the rebel's machetes) or kill them. More than 4 million people have died mining blood diamonds. This is a huge social issue in Sierra Leone because of the people suffering during mining these precious stones.

The horrific atrocities in Sierra Leone have caught world’s attention and people have realized that it is needed to stop the trade of these precious stones in order to cut off the sources of the rebels so wars can be shortened.
