Do you know why women and men think different? Because women are from Venus and men from Mars.
This is the title of a book which describes how different men and women are.
Venusians have different values. They value love, communication, beauty and relationships. They spend a lot of time supporting and helping. Meanwhile Martians value power, competency, and achievement. They are always doing things to prove themselves and develop their power and skills. You see, we are dissimilar, they –men-do not have to think as we –women-do, so next time when your partner do not agree with you, not be irritated and think that they see things in a different perspective, given that they not have the ability of thinking as we –women-do
Military duties affect mental health

It is widely known that those men and women who were once in the front have suffered from mental diseases, given that these people they do not really enjoy going to combat. They suffer from the pressure of their superiors, the act of taking the life of many innocents or not, the fact of being in charge of such responsibility of fighting for your country and freedom. These poor individuals experience the human misery all at once, which of course may affect on their mental health. I feel really pity for these people, who are not heroes of war since you can call someone hero for having killed someone (whoever he is) in the front. However, I think that since they were in warfare for a country, the government and their citizens should recognized their courage, giving them all the medical and financial support.
Global Warming
A matter of considerable controversy, nowadays, is how the global warming is affecting our world and health. As we know the worldwide climate is changing and it is becoming worse in many countries. On the ground of this, many phenomenons are being experienced by people as wild storms, hurricanes, low temperature, dry lands, and flood, among others. It is said that nature is taking revenge for man’s cruelty, since we- man- are not concerned about how our thoughtless actions affect the nature (ranging from using petrol to waste water in our houses). Apart from this, the ever increasing industry productions also pollute the environment causing the global warming. Regarding health, this problem of global warming is causing many health problems in our daily lives, since it affects our physical condition severely producing asthma, allergies, and heatstroke and infections diseases. It is also said that the number of worldwide toll will rise at a great number if the global warming does not decrease. What is more, illnesses as malaria and cholera will become worst. In my opinion, I can say that we-people and government –should be aware of the terrible consequences of global warming to take the necessary precautions. Otherwise, we and our world will vanish at the same time because of our selfishness. What is worse, our kids and unborn children will not have the chance of enjoying this beautiful and priceless world.
Cloning

It is said that many clones have been produced, as beloved pets, farm animals, etc., but not human has been cloned yet. I think that the fact of cloning human beings could be possible and acceptable because it could be useful for people who need transplants and it could be a great step in medicine fields. However, I also believe that to clone an individual could be something which may cause psychological problems for the individual who is cloned. Have you ever imagine a cloning person of you? With the same physical characteristics? That would be atrocious to have someone with your same features, you wouldn’t be the “individual” that you were since you wouldn’t be the only one with those features that make you differ from the others.
Our surrounding affects us

There exist many things that affect our mood and health; for instance, the climate, perfumes, noises and colors. I think that we-human beings- are so vulnerable that we are constantly influenced by our surroundings as a Chinese theory – fen shui- states. This theory says that depending on the positions and colors of our furniture or elements, which are in a room, our mood, concentration, energy and health, could vary. What is more, many studies have shown that fast food restaurants usually paint their walls in yellow, orange and red because these colors make people to eat more and faster.
So next time that you have to paint the walls of your room or get dressed think first how colors may influence on you.
Cell phones give brain burst of caffeine… do you know this?
Yes, it is said that cell phones affect our brain, producing the same reactions as when we consume caffeine. However, scientists do not yet know whether the use of cell phones is safe or unsafe for our health. On the ground of this, it could be said that it would be worthy to investigate how cell phones influence our health, since the number of worldwide cell phones’ users increases everyday. What is more, I am inclined to believe that people and organisms should be aware of the overuse of this gadget and take the necessary precautions owing to cell phones, which are even able to disrupt the system of a bypass.
Technology is making our world a better place to live

Technology has made many improvements in the field of preventive medicine. Many diseases, as cancer and diabetes are diagnosed at the right time, saving the lives of many people. Furthermore, it is widely claimed that the life expectancy has risen due to the role that technology plays in the world of medicine. There is another side of the issue of whether the technological improvement is making our world a better place to live. Most people advocate that the new ways of entertainment in our lives are better than those days when there was only black-and –white television.
On the other hand, many people disagree with this issue, of technology. One argument against technological advances is that they lead to a lack of imagination in children. Computers and games consoles provide children with unimaginable things. However, it could be harmful for them given that, nowadays, kids do not use there imagination to play with other children, not to mention the fact that most kids prefer to play video games rather than to read a book. Another drawback of technological development is that in most cases new machinery has replaced men in many jobs, as machinery is more efficient and more quickly than man. Therefore, many people lost their right of working and have missed the opportunity of being bread winners.
I could say that technology is making our world a better place to live because it grants us a safer and more comfortable world to live in. However, we cannot deny its negative aspects. Man has been either used as a cog in a machine or he has been swept away by the machinery he has created to support him. He has become the slave of his creation.
A wild party
I will tell you a wild funny story that begins in the jungle. All the wild animals had a plan to spend a day having fun. They decided to have a party and everyone was invited. Very early in the morning, the animals brought out the balloons with which they decorated the trees.
In charge of the meal were the bat, the cat and the rat. The parrot was the disk jockey. He played tango, salsa rock and cuarteto. The animals really had fan!
When the night arrived, the tired animals went to bed after a wonderful day!!!
