Political Desicions influenced by Politics, not by the people desires

Chihuahuas State Powers will move into Cd. Juarez

Caused by the recently deaths, murders, and narcos; the governor of Chihuahua decided to move all the 3 powers into Cd. Juarez to be closer to the city problems and situation. This, by logic, is a political desicion but it also invo

lves the social context and other subjects of social sciences, such as, law; history; physochology. Why? Because if they decide to move the powers to Cd. Juarez (which is not the capital) they are including other subjects of the social sciences.

For example, it involves law; because the congress have to aprooved the demand in order to move the powers through the legal way. It is also an event that includes history, because since many time ago, powers had been moved from the capital city of a state.(so the social scientists will have to analyze the consequences.). And at last it involves the physochology field, because it can be analized, based on the human and individual behavior of the governors.

So in conclusion of the article, In order to move the powers to Juarez, it has to be aprooved by the congress(POLITICS involved).

Now, my personal opinion is that the final decision has to be made based on a scientific method that the social scientists will make, as we saw in class. This method will look by being physocologists and studying history, the best solutions in order to solve this matter; always looking for hyphotesis and experimenting a possible result. Obviously the Social Scientists don't decide, but in this case, I am calling the Congressmen= Social Scientists. Because for my opinion, in order to proove a law, they have to look into possible pros, consequences, situations, etc... (what in few words is using the Scientific Method of Social Sciences.)

This is only a political decision, of a million in the world, that have to see with people.(Social Aspects). What I think, is that the politics or people in charge of deciding should use the scientific method, in some way, in order to find the best solutions and laws to solve problems.

Sarkozy's New Ideal/Possible Law agains the Veil


Sarkozy's Against the Use of the Veil in Musulman's women...


In today's class we read again our news articles, and my team's article was about the "Burka in french, or the Veil" that Musulmans(arabs) women use in France. In some how, Sarkozy is attempting agains the Freedom of Expression and Religion that supposely characterized France. But also he is making a law that affects his government and popularity. Again Political decisions are involved in Society and in element of Culture matters.


This has to be with the class topic about Culture, and the elements of it. In this case, Customs and Traditions. The veil is a really ancient and important, unbreakable tradition and way of clothing in his country, but now they are living in another country. In which, they respected them, but now they don't want to. So here I think that the way of looking the situation, is may be a right decision because it is not their country, it is France. But also can be a violation to an element of culture and a violation to the ideas of freedom in France.



The veils should be respected and to continue in the practicants of each religion, not only because it is their right; but also due to his importance in matters of their culture. To break an element of a culture is hard and really damaging, and can be like a destruction of his thoughts and purpose of life. It may also affects the French Government in global popularity, because may be foreigners won't like to live in there, due to the restrictions of others elements of religion and culture. France should respected, and will be considered as an Updated and Freely country.

Amazing Pill

A new experiment!!!
A new experiment can be the solution for persons with gastrointestinal diseases. Yes, you heard right. New intelligent pills that will permit identify the exact location of the problem in order to cure it. This pill is called “iPill” from the Netherlands’ company Phillips. This experiment is a very small pill with a very small camera that is swallowed to get into the digestive system. This pill can be programmed to put in a specific place the “medicine” where it is required. This incredible pill is also capable of measuring the level of acid in the stomach and can send reports so that the doctor can make his/her diagnostic. This pill is still in experimentation.

That is a great new. Just imagine the amount of technology this pill includes. Technology is in progress. Day after day new technology is created in many areas including medicine. Nowadays there are solution for diseases that did not have years ago. Scientists are creating new solutions or at least trying to find one to diseases that are killing many people. This pill is a great advance; hopefully in few years it would be in many hospitals but what will be the cost? And………….how will it come out?
