Let's take care about our health

There is a new Bacon Ice Cream created by burger king which caloric intake almost equals that of the full burger Burger King Whopper, 670 calories. This ice cream is been distributed in Tennessee, that holds the fourth highest rate of obesity in the United States (31.9%), according to a report last year of the Reflection Group Health Foundation of America. What I personally think is that it is not that healthy food would be more expensive, that is what they made ​​us believe and traders have taken advantage of what is advertised as healthy. For example, the production of chia is not expensive, but it is sold at a high price because it was advertised as excellent, then take advantage of this good reputation, so it is with the quinoa, their properties have been identified and generally people with more resources that you access this information, then you think,'' if rich people want to eat it, then they can pay if you sell it expensive.'' In any case I do not find it more expensive to buy a package of lentils and rice (reaching for many dishes) completely nutritious, to buy two pieces of meat or this bacon ice cream, otherwise I think it's better to spend $ 1000 more to spend huge amounts of money on doctors and medicines in the future Viviana Seguel

No quality in education, No progress in society.

During the last week I made an essay talking about the life of one of the most important persons that fought against racial prejudices in the USA by non violent resistance. That made me think about our everyday life, and how is it possible that in 2012 after a world war, after killing people just because they were different, discrimination is still an issue in every country. In Chile, the value-based education with an emphasize on empathy and respect for others have been lost in our society which makes increases the individualism, bullying and all kinds of violence against “different persons” and for this wrong concept of education we have been hearing a lot more about cases where that violence end up in murder, if we take as an example the Zamudio’s case, we can realize that this is not an isolated incident. In our country, people are discriminated because of race, nationality, social status, or sex, physical appearance, ideas, or their disability, which is about tolerance as a principle…Something that is not learned by a political decree, a resolution, or a law, but through a process of continuing education over time.

Welcome to the Future!

200 years ago, Jim Robbinson was working as a slave in a cotton plantation in Virginia. He was illiterate, and when the secession war was over, he remained living in the slave quarters and working as a cotton picker for little pay. He made sure his children learned to read and write, and his grand children went to high school. And so, every generation became more educated.

In the 1950´s , Rosa Parks, a working African American woman, could not sit on the bus after a hard day´s work, she was born free, unlike Robbinson, but she was still discriminated because of the color of her skin, and did not have the same rights as white people.

Later, a man with a dream, Martin Luther King, stood in the Lincoln monument, giving a speech about a world without discrimination towards any race.

On June 4^th 2008 Barak Obama was elected as the 44^th president of the United States. He is the first African American president in United States history.

On that same day, Jim Robbinson´s great great granddaughter, Michelle Obama, became the first lady.

Although discrimination still happens all over the world, and not just towards colored people, things have gotten better.

What would Jim Robbison say if he could see Michelle Obama? What would Martin Luther King say if he were alive today?

Each generation brings change, for better or worse.

Obama becoming president made a big impact in today´s culture. In the past, it was hard to believe that someone from a minority could become president, even if there´s still racism. Children need motivation to understand that hard work and doing the right thing really will bring success.

This song is about how things have changed. The most meaningful line is “from a woman on a bus, to a man with a dream, welcome Martin Luther, welcome to the future”

Karma is a b*tch !

"Karma is a b*tch"

It's a famous phrase, and the term "karma" is related with the topics that we have been working on class.

But, what is Karma ?

In Indian religions is the concept of "action" or "deed", understood as that which causes the entire cycle of cause and effect originating in ancient India and treated in the Hindu, Jain, Buddhist and Sikh religions.

"God does not make one suffer for no reason nor does he make one happy for no reason. God is very fair and gives you exactly what you deserve."

In Buddhism, karma is strictly distinguished from vipāka, meaning "fruit" or "result". Karma is categorized within the group of cause in the chain of cause and effect, where it comprises the elements of "volitional activities" and "action". Any action is understood as creating "seeds" in the mind that will sprout into the appropriate result when they meet with the right conditions. Most types of karmas, with good or bad results, will keep one within the wheel of samsāra, while others will liberate one to nirvāna.

Karma is not fate, because humans act with free will creating their own destiny. 

 

This is basically saying that everything that you do in this life, bad or good, it's going to return back to you. So be careful on what you do, You don't want to end up saying "Karma is a bitch”.
