Hi, after a few problems  for trying tosing in the blog, im here.

O-O im not sure if i used  this expretion in a good way.

Anyway, i hope you be ok, talking about kinds of personalitys; i think we can't  identify people personality clear because it depends the moment, where and how you make them.

Usually, we know people that say things or think about your self on an incorrects ways, maybe because you made them in a bad moment for you, until a bad situation or you  just decide misbehave for avoid them.

                              Tipping Point in Los Alcarrizos

      I live in a big town which name is Los Alcarrizos. This town is far away from the civilization. It is old, dirty with a lot of crime. I really do not like this place even thought I have lived there since I was a little brat. One of my goals is to move from here once I graduate from college. There are so few things that can be metion as rewards in this dangerous town. On the other hand, Los Alcarrizos has its tipping points as well as other towns.

      We Alcarrinzenses have Los Angeles Institute which is the place I work. This English institute was found in 1992 under the leadership of Idel Brandon Montano, who is the principal since the day it was found this institute has brought joy to our community. I began my language studies here. Everything I know about English I have learned here. I learned how to speak, write, and teach in this place. Many young people get graduated with a certificate in English.

      Many of my friends including my two sisters got graduated from this place, and they are really good at English. Not because I work there I say this, but because there is quality in this place I feel very grateful to have the chance to work in this place.

      The staff of Los Angles has twenty-six capable teachers who are committed to do a great job. There are four programs for the following categories: children, adolescents, adults, and The Immersion Program for students who get a scholarship from La Mescyt. Eight teachers work with children the book we use for children is called Backpack this program has twelve levels each level spends three months, then we have junior in this program we use Mega Goal which is the name of the book as children this program spends three years each level spends three months to finish, after adolescents we have adults program the book we use for adults is Top Notch a very thick book as children and adolescents programs it spends three years, finally there is The English Immersion Program. this program is for university students only.

      Studying here is a wonderful experience I recommend this place to whoever wants to learn real English. Actually, we have inscriptions, so if you want to learn English I encourage you to pass by and see for yourself what this place is about. Thanks for reading.

     

My tipping point

My tipping point could be when I went to this university, my siblings, some of my cousins and I made the difference in my family, because my parents, aunts and uncles didn't go to the university, and some of them didn't finish elementery school, and that means we advance as a future generation.

My grandmother had 8 children, only two of them have children who went to the university, my mother and my uncle, my uncle has 3 children, only 2 finished the university, my mother has 3 children too, and we haven't finished yet.

The oldest daughter of my uncle had success with her career, and you know when you are doing something different around you , you always find people who are adverse of your future successes. when she hadn't found any job, my other cousins laughed, because they said she wasn't prepared, and the thing that surprised me was when she got her job ,all  people who were laughing about her  want money from her.

How do I label myself?                                        It will sound weird to you, but I can't label myself because I don't know me exactly. Sometimes I could be the life of the party , very outgoing, and upbeat but there are other moments in which I could be a really killjoy , reticent, negative and a very whiny person. I think that depends the most of time of the moment, the place, and obviously the people for that reasons I can't label myself.

 

                                                          The Bold and The Bashful
                                                    (A copy of the title of unit three)


      Long time not write. I have been under a lot of pressure lately and to be honest ideas are not floating in my head these days; however, I'm here so, let me try to write something about personality...

      These days we are living in a world kind of chaotic especially for people who are bashful. Introversion is associated with negative traits statements like to be successful you gotta be open to people, shy people do not fit in business, women do not like reticent men, you are not going to get the girl keeping that low profile, and so forth...

      some of these statements are true some of them are not. The point is introverted people are under a lot of pressure constantly. I have many friends that are introverted, and actually, they are pretty good people once they feel comfortable with you. I have learned a lot from these friends and I can assure these people (introverted) are more intelligent than others.

      I do not know why maybe because they spend so much time thinking deeply or they read a lot. The thing is these people are quite intelligent and creative they come up with impressive ideas that can make waves. To be honest I admire introverted people. They are methodological with self-awareness of their skills they make few mistakes, they plan better than extroverted, and they see life in another outlook. To me, introvertion is not a bad thing, if you are an introverted person and you feel the pressure of society keep in mind that you have something that many do not have you are self-aware of yourself.

   On the other hand, we have extroverted people these people are totally opposite than the previous ones.
These people are considered bold, outgoing, and attractive. They are adored especially when it comes to parties. The world loves these sort of people, who are extroverted, sometimes are called the life of the party. I agree with that statement you can not have a good party without a social butterfly.

      Extroversion has its downside as well as introvertion people that are introverted do not feel "ok" when they are alone they need other people to go on, so they are not complete if they do not have someone to talk to. These people tend to take more risks without thinking carefully as result of that when things go wrong they wind up having difficult situations to deal with.

      Both personalities have their unique features the key point here is to be happy. If you are introverted try to be happy in your own way the same goes for extroverted people. In the end, happiness is the goal.

honesty is the best policy

Honesty 

Honesty is a personal value, when a person is honest shuold be in every circunstance, when someone tells a lie can´t develop in life, people should be honest in the work, at university, tell lies is dangerous for the future.

Tell lies don´t help us  in anything, Don´t make tricks  is better to tell the true because honesty is priceless 

The Bold and the Bashful

THE BOLD

The daring people are not afraid to do something new and one of the reasons why it is so exciting to be around them is that they keep you to the expectation. Bold person are open mind,they have the ability to do averything on time, they are never afraid to fail.

THE BASHFUL:

Are unable to act and express themselves as they wish, they are often punished with thoughts of the type: I should have said this, Shyness usually appears in specific cases. For example person are usually shy when they are presented in a group , in a while they act normally. They may also be afraid to relate to large groups, but they enjoy the company of some friends.

Honesty

HONESTY : It is the virtue that guarantees respect for the good custums. An honest person has the inmense virtue of not appropiating what does no belong to him, neither physically nor symbolically, so he will also  have strong identity as he dedicates himself to living with the fruit of his effort.

In any case the lack of honesty itself is not pusished by law, but its derivatives: Stealing something that does not belong to you, is punished , but not the fact of being awarded to others a merit that is of another person.

Most of the person ever  lied, we lie to the partners tha we consider superior because we want them respect us as we respect them. Unfortunately, being dishonest in the long run is being disrespeful.

Who am I? the bold or the bashful.

I label myself as a bashful, everybody who knows me can notice my personality, but when I was a child, everybody or almost everybody thought I was condescending because I didn't speak with anybody, I don't think it's necesary to speak with all of them, people are not good, they don't respect, and they are not sincere.

I like to watch and rewatch the people around me , I don't know why I always have liked to do that.I like to see the unconscious way they behave because they show their true personality. I don't believe in words. I'm shy because of that, I feel uncomfortable with that situation, it's difficult for me to break the ice because I have to know the  person first.


I like to lock myself in. yes I enjoy to be alone and yes I haven't had good experience with people. I can't stand disrespectful people around me, that's why I prefer to be alone. I'm not the person you ask something and I speak rude or something like that.

The internet and others addictions

 Jose Dolores Gonzalez V.


Addictions are a big trouble in the entire world, we know some addictions such as: cocaine, marihuana, cigarrette, coffee, etc. those are some of the most ancient know, those addictions are used by people when they feel depressed or anxious.

Nowaday we have new addictions some of the most know are: surfing in the internet, compulsive buyer, those are people that  feel fulfillment with go to shopping, sex, gambling , video games, high tech, etc.

those people need support from people capable to help them thought therapy, supports groups, they should be engading in enhance their situation making everything as indicated.

Hi there! My name is Yaleni Balvi, finally I'm in the blog, I know I'm coming late , because I got some issues, but let me introduce myself. I live in El almirante , Sto.Dgo. este. I live with my mother; in my days off I like to go out with my friends at least once a month.

I consider myself as a humble, kind and shy person. I enjoy being at home spending time with my family ,reading or watching a movie.

I would like to improve my pronuctiation , have a neutral accent, organize better my ideas and use the correct gramatical structure in writting, I hope everyone could help me here.

My room, my world...

Maybe the topic does not match with what I have to say, but as you see, you opened this message to see what it contains...

This is it: I label myself as a very shy person, I do not like to talk in front of a crowd, that is why I do not like to teach I prefer to write. I have what we call "Public-speaking Phobia" this is: Scenic Panic, I feel this way because I predispose myself of thinking that my information will have no merit to them.

I know this will bring me adverse consequences because I will have to do it at the end of my career and I have to work with this chronic shyness that I suffer since I was a child.

I do not have problems to ask for information, but to meet people for me it is difficult, I mean, I meet them, but when we begin a conversation I do not know what to talk "lol"...

Honesty

Have you been honest at least once in your lifetime?

 We learn this moral character since we were a child, starting with our parents, while we grow we see different kinds of persons with differents personalities.

A child is honest and at the same time is a liar for his/her own benefit, this is that they lie almost always and tattling on each other to expose the other kid.

So be honest has its "pros" and its "contras". But we have to remember one thing: "To lie and to hide something are not the same".

Pros: 

1.- To our own benefits
2.- Can acquire some benefit from the bank
3.- We can travel to another country (in our case)
4.-  To protect a mate
5.- To protect ourselves from any punishment
6.- We can maintain a good relationship
7.- To make themselves look better in other persons


Contras:

1.- We can get in the jail
2.- The other person will feel betrayed by you
3.- You can lose all your friend
4.- Your family won´t trust on you anymore

There are much more pros and contras about lying and we have to consider and think about the consequiences before to say a lie.



 

 

Pamela Meyer: How to spot a liar?

Pros and cons of lying.                                                                                                                       A lie will never be a great idea to get out of some issue or get something because lie is a way of being dishonest.                                                                                                                         The consequences of lying are many. So I'm going to mention some of them: you could lose your job, a friend or your couple but the worst thing you can lose (for me ) is someone's confidence.                                                                                                                           Pros of lying. You could get out of some uncomfortable situations. If someone is bothering you in some way a lie could help you or in an embarrassing situation a lie is very helpful.

Honesty is having standars of moral and truth and sticking by your morals and also being able to be honesty when you are wrong never changing who you are as a person.

Additions

Addictions and its symptoms, causes and treatment.

Addiction is not only included physical thing they consume, such as drugs or alcohol but may include virtually anything, such as abstract things as gambling to seemingly harmless products, such as chocolate. In other words, addiction may refer to a substance dependence (Drugs) or behavioral addiction (Gambling and Internet).

People with an addiction don’t have control over what they do, take or use. Their addiction may reach a point at which it’s harmful.

A habit may develop into an addiction:

Many of us can use substances or become engaged in activities without any significant problems. Some people, however, may experience damaging psychological or physical effects when their habit becomes an addiction.

Addictions and Habits:

With a habit you are in control of your choices, with and addiction you can’t control your choices.

Addiction: Physical or Psychological component; the person is unable to control the aspects of the addiction without help because of the mental or physical conditions involved, they are not conscious what they do.

Habit: It’s done by choice. The person can choose to stop and will subsequently stop successfully if they want to. The psychological or physical thing isn’t an issue, very different with an addiction.

Addiction can cause problems with their activities at home, work, school and social environment. They are generally caused by a combination of Physical, mental, circumstantial and difficult situations.

The addicted needs larger and more regular amounts of whatever they are addicted to, in order to receive the same effect. Often, the initial reward is no longer felt, and the addiction continues because with drawl is so unpleasant.

Family is an important tool for addicted, because they can support them with patient.

Signs and Symptoms of addiction.

A symptom is something the patient senses and describes, while a sign is something other people, such as doctor, friends and family notice. For example, in Internet addiction when people have a backache, headaches because the usage of internet may be a symptom while too much surfing leads to decreased productivity at work and fewer interactions with family members may be a sign.

When a person is addicted to Internet, they are not able to control its usage. They continue using it, even though it may cause harm. 

Internet addiction can cause cravings. The addict may want to give up, but finds it extremely difficult to do without help.

Signs and symptoms of internet addiction may include:

Emotional symptoms of internet addiction.

The following symptoms are typical of internet addicts:

1.       Feelings of guilt.

2.     Anxiety.

3.     Dishonesty

4.     Depression.

5.     No sense of time.

Physical symptoms:

1.       Weight gain or loss.

2.     Disturbances in sleep.

3.     Carpal tunnel syndrome.

4.     Blurred or strained vision.

Causes of internet addiction:

Some people become addicted to the internet because of the social connections the make online. They have problem to have a relationship in the real life, some online relationship activity can be useful and healthy, and many people utilize forums for advice or chats for relaxation, but when a person has many close online friends and no one to count on in the real world, problems can develop.

Treatment of internet addiction:

Internet addiction is believed to be a largely treatable condition. When the addiction is acknowledged, a therapist or other mental health professional can help an individual take steps to address the behavior and regain the ability to use the Internet in a healthy way. Internet addiction differs from some other types of addiction in that some level of Internet use is generally necessary for function in society. Thus, the goal of treatment is usually not complete abstinence. However, when a person is addicted to online porn, for example, treatment goals may involve using the Internet without attempting to seek out pornography.

Internet Addiction.

    An addiction is defined as: being abnormally tolerant to and dependent on something that is psychologically or physically habit forming. People can get addicted to alcohol, drugs, shopping, tabaco, Internet, etc.

    Maybe if we heard that someone is adiccted to the Internet, we think that is not so serious as when we heard that someone is addicted to drugs or alcohol but, the truth is that every addiction must be take with seriousness.

   The fact is, that the Internet is a really dangerous thing to be addicted to, the main reason why is because it takes our all of our time, the free one  and the one that we don't have to spend. The Internet is so wide and has so much information and distracctions, that we can surf in hundreds of pages during hours without even notice it. As a consecuence, it affects our lives in all levels, with our family, friends and love ones, because we don't have time to share with them; it affects in  our jobs, because instead of doing the things that we are being paying to do, we loose time in things that are not profitable.

   In my personal opinion, people become addicted mostly, because they feel an empty in their lives that is ''covered'' in appearance, with the bad habit (alcohol, drugs, sex, etc); and in other cases, there are people that has a genetic predisposition to be addicted to something. 

   At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what kind of addiction a person could have, in an overwhelmed mayority of cases, they would need help, support, and a relentless willpower to get over an addiction, it's a hard path to cross, where every step it's a little victory that they must build every day. My deepest respect for people that struggle every day with an addiction.

PD: I know I'm late with this assigment, sorry, I hope it's O.K.

                                Academia Dishonesty

      I wrote about honesty in my previous post. This time I'd like to write dishonesty -the opposite- you know what I mean. According to Merriam Webster Dictionary dishonesty is 

1. lack of honesty or integrity :  disposition to defraud or deceive
2.       As students we must be carefull the way we do business because (sooner or later) we will face the consequences of the things we do. Many of my peers always say that is not a big thing to cheat on exams, do not be fool, it is a snap in this way and so forth...
3.       For these little things according to them of course, not me but them (hahahha) I am a fool. I have always ended up arguing with them because of that. It is not I am a "Holly Being" however, I consider if you can not be honest with a simple test, how are you going to be up-front if you end up runnig a company or coordinating a program...
4.       So, cheating on exams is the big thing ever! At least for me. When you are like cheating on academia think about this question: How will you be able to correct your children if you did not make the right choice when you were supposed to?
5.       We (students) should give up on dishonesty and embrace honesty. That's the right choice to make. We should never cheat on little things like tests even though we end up flunking. Thanks for reading this post. Feel free to correct me as much as you want!

Honesty a lost value in the society

Honesty for me it’s one of the most important values because it helps us to be a better person, parents teach us since we are little kids that it is  not good to lie not even if it is for our own benefit and most of us don’t follow that teaching.

In these days it’s so normal for the people to lie that we can see it even in a resume, we say we can do things that we can’t, that we are things we aren’t and that it is just the beginning, we lie to our friends, our family, our boss and everyone around us, sometimes I think people can’t help it.

It is really difficult to find honest people but to be one it’s the best because even though we think we are winning with the lies we say sooner or later the truth will come out.

I’m not always an honest person but I try to be, sometimes I lie and that’s why I know it’s better to tell the truth because I have had bad experience lying. 

                                                                 Honesty.

              Hello! I was looking up the meaning of the word honesty, and I found the following definition:
" The quality of being what you appear to be, so that you say what you think, show what you feel." To me, this word means a lot. My humblest opinion about honesty is the key to keep healthy relationships with persons around you, relationships at work, relationships with your classmates, and all kinds of relationships someone may have.

                 A honest person is worthy to be admired these days because of people. Today we are living in a world where corruption is pervasive. Saying the truth could cost you a lot for an instance you could lose your job, you could get sued, even you might get beaten for saying the truth. Sometimes is better to keep our mouths shut, and go with the flow.

                The majority of us has told a white lie. Me as an example I tell white lies almost everyday. A white lie can save your ass in a troublesome situation like when your girlfriend asks if she is fat or sweetie, do I look attractive. In these kinds of situations you must tell a white lie; otherwise, you might get killed! hahahahahahha. The point is we must act wisely to survive in this world full of dangers. Thanks for reading this post. Feel free to correct me as much as you want. See you later!

Hello guys, last night we started unit two the topic of this chapter is the honesty. Honesty is a moral character and connotes positive and virtuous attributes such as integrity and truthfulness. Lying, cheating, thetf, etc are forms of being dishonest. Furthermore honesty means being trustworthy, loyal,fair and sincere. Now in days in our society we have a big lack of these virtues is something very common at least for me  get someone dishonest. I don't get surprised when someone is dishonest with me. That is because dishonety has became in something usual, common, normal .I think it's important cultivate this virtue of the honesty and if you ask me cultive! But where I would told you in our families I'm pretty sure that here is where the problem comes from. So, let's go to work we still have time to make the difference. Remember that honesty is the best policy.
