Videogames

The impact of video games in society of Costa Rica is present in different ways both for children, young and adults. For example, we see that most families have a game console in house and spend lot money on games, do not care if they are well off financially. The traditional games are being losing in our country; the people do not socialize or no spend time with his family. Do not play sports, have problems in the study, the levels of violence increase, do not sleeping well, becomes an addiction and increases violence. But it also has advantages for example: help the coordination, to reason, some are educational, the Wii allows us to move, some teach us to work together, allow us to be creative, help us think more because they are a challenge and other. I think that video games are not bad since they have advantages and are great fun. The point is we must have limits when we play for that does not become an addiction.

The concert of the national group Escats in the UFEST was a success. I liked the organization that was done with the event. These guys are a real national pride; his lyrics are very good and show a lot of emotion. I also liked the fact that they are humble and have great charisma on stage. Another thing I liked was when the teacher Laura went on stage and sang with the group, she did very well and the atmosphere was better. I hope that these activities continue in the ULACIT with different groups of Costa Rica, as it is very important that we support our music because they are our pride

The Ice Hotel

The ice hotel is located in Sweden is very famous in the world and is really expensive. It's a whole new experience for people who visit, usually only stay in the hotel one night because it is very cold and by the price. The rooms of this famous hotel are designed differently; everything is made of ice including the beds. The idea of the hotel started when people built an igloo in the Torne River and the creator of this could see that many people liked the idea of sleeping there. There are many things you can do while staying at this hotel for example: visit theater, church, go snowmobiling, dog sledding, cross- country skiing, snowshoeing and more. I think the idea of this hotel is great and different because the people who visit can enjoy a new experience and they can see the wonderful landscapes of Sweden.

Super size me

The movie Super Size Me is very good because it shows us the stark reality of fast food we eat often.
Today there are millions of restaurants, for example McDonalds and Taco Bell, this restaurants are increasing the problems of obesity in the population with its beautiful publicity. This happens because many people eat a lot in these places every day or most of the time without thinking about the harm they are doing, they ask the super sized meal, and spend much money on junk food, becoming addicts.
This food is really bad because according to nutritionists should not be eaten nevernot be eaten ever, because it makes us feel sick, tired, with stress and depression.
I think these restaurants are not very honest with nutritional data, do not worry that people know or at least that information beis visible to consumers, as this would not be good for your business.
I hope this movie the can be seen by many people for thatsoo they can become aware of this issue that is really shocking, and so stop consuming less of these products

Letter


Dear organizers I want congratulate you for the great effort and determinations that was put in the activity. During the activity, I enjoyment and learned a lot. I liked the different projects that were presented that day. For example: the grease recycling of different fast food restaurants, that letter was became in sweet-smelling soaps, I also like the savings of solar energy , with was a device that keeper the sun´s energy during the day, for use in homes or businesses and save energy and money. It seemed important that the various projects exposed, had common themes as recycling and saving. I think it was interesting to stress this because many companies do not mind the situation of the planet and produced in large quantities products which are nothing earth friendly. Finally before saying good bye I want congratulate them again since this activity was a succes because many young people as I we learned about different products less polluting.

Justice


Dear Mrs President Laura Chinchilla I think now many people go to prision for crimes they did not do. This happens by police mistakes. They destroy for mistake an important evidence of the crime. Also other cause is false confession. That is when somebody says they they did something that they didn´t in fact to do. Another mistake is when eyewitnesses don´t remember correctly and are certaintly confussed about if the person is guilty or not. I obviously agree that guilty people go to jail. But I think it is unfair that an innocent person go to jail. They lost years og their life locked. Without seeing their family or without sharing unforgettable moments whit them.

Thank you for your attention.

Say Good Bye Ericka Chaves.

What is barter Network?


Barter network is an exchange of skills of different people. Also is a type of organization where people dedicate to help each other. Is used by people that need help and exchange services whit other people.
The bartering network works with time dollar.For example: one person cleans a house during three hours, these three hours are the dollar time. The dollar time can be used to exchange one service for another with different people according to their habilities. This type of exchange was used many years ago by our aboriginal people. But the difference was changing the subject for another of equal value. I think that bartering networks are good because they are easy to join and then being able to enjoy different services provided by all kinds of people. And also is good form to spend less money in our lives.
