Nowadays, people have different situations in their life that they need to balance. Some of these situations become in forms of addictions, stress or harmony. Each person have a form to express what they feel, and how to release that situation at the time it is disturbing, but this form not always is good for the body, for exam-ple when you ingest some drug.An addiction occurs when someone de-pends on something. In this century there are ten main addictions, these are: plastic sur-gery, tanning, internet, sex, shopping, exercise, T.V., teeth whitening, love and work. Many of these addictions are de-tected when the person can not stop doing that action. One important reason is to understand Why this addiction occurs? for example,

problems, necessity to socialize or feel part of something or someone.Stress is a reaction for our body when we feel under pressure. It is normal to feel stressed when we have a tense situation in our lives. It is important to know how we can release this tension without caus-ing damage to our body. When the people feel stress in some cases is because she or he are frustrated and de-pressed for does not can do something. Stress in a reaction that we can avoid, for this, is better look a form to relax.When we speak about a life in harmony, this means having a balance in our life and the situ-ations where we can be involved. The impor-tance of arriving at this harmony in your life is to feel happy, comfort-able, quiet and good about yourself. Some-times we forget that we must have time for us, we only have the same

routine and problems. A few suggestions to have a better life, away from addictions while balanc-ing our life are practic-ing sports or recreational activities, spending time with family and friends. Is good for our body to look for a way to de-stress healthy and doing things then we can not be harm-ful. This does not mean that all possible activities to be developed to prevent addictions or stress are individual; we could also do them in groups. Being able to share time with others will teach attitudes and ideas from which we can learn.

Addiction is a some-what an impulsive be-havior to run contrary to the will of him who runs, it can cause psy-chological and physical dependence. Addic-tions are diseases that affect the quality of life for people who suffer as well as their families. There are both chemi-cal addictions, as well as certain activities and even relationships, such as alcohol, nicotine or other drugs, Gambling, Food, shopping, cell phone use, sex or sexual activity, work, Internet. Addictions begin with a pleasant and pleasurable behavior ends up being addictive, it causes one to feel upset abandoned.

cle that make them lose everything, their family, their friends. They be-come obsessive, show-ing great nervousness and anxiety, since the only thing that reassures them is the realization of addictive behavior. Addicts often leave their everyday lives and neglect their personal problems, get upset if they do not perform the behavior, they are not aware of their problem, sometimes experience feelings of guilt and lie to hide their addiction. Gradually neglect their personal hygiene and are isolated from the people and go into de-pression. Stress is a natural re-sponse of the body when not enough rest or no change in style, may be caused by prob-lems at home, school or work, and produces nervousness. To avoid that kind of stress is good to do recreational

activities like dancing, singing, swimming, running so you can re-lax and not be so tense. We need to live happy and peaceful, with peo-ple. We want to reach our goals.

So what’s an addiction? I will say is a habit that makes you need that thing you ve got addict-ed to, for example the people who accept not to use any Internet or cellphones and get de-pressed, if they weren’t addicted they will be just fine for sure, in the field trip I do remem-ber they speak about Cable TV, Internet, Cellphones as addictive things, but I don’t re-ally hear something as the top-ten addictions, and I actually think that a top ten will be really variable, is a top ten of more killing people? Or a more expensive ad-dictions? We do talk that people who have low self-control become addicts, or cuz they use “that thing” too much and they don’t realized. People don’t usually

handle stress, that’s the problem whit this top-ic! And the definition Andrea (I think that’s was her name) gives us was kind of : the mix of hard situations in a really bad time, like me wright now, with things from my job, an essay and that bus that is going to leave me if I don’t hurry up!

But at the end of the day we have those things that help us to distract you from your routine, those rec-reational activities that gets you in harmony, living in peace with you and with others.

I am really happy to say I don’t consume those killing addictions as licor, cigarretes, marihuana and others, but I’m a really Inter-net Addict and way of solving that is first to recognized that you

have a Problem and then look for someone, and expert if is possible, that can help you.

According to what the speaker said “an addic-tion is something you feel you need, because is your body sends mes-sages to your brain and tells you that you need it to live”. I think that addiction is something you get obsessed with, something you do all the time because you think it is a necessary.In the field trip, Stefany spoke about the most modern addictions, and their causes. She said consequences, the top ten addictions are watching T.V., smoking, alcohol, gambling, inter-net and texting on cell phones there are more like teeth whitening, love, plastic surgery, shopping, exercising and traveling. In my opinion, we have to be more informed about these addictions be-

cause any of us may suf-fer from one of them.We also spoke about how addictions can affect us emotionally, mentally, socially and psycho-logically. Addicts tent to have mood changes especially when they cannot obtain what they want. In many occasions, our body suffers the con-sequences of because we get sick or suffer from depression.The most important thing we must do before we can admit that we have an addiction is to scan ourselves and detect if we have a problem. After that, we should recognize our addiction In order to find someone

that can help us to over-come this problem be-cause if we do not admit that we have an addic-tion we are never going to find a solution and at the end we are going to be unhappy , frustrated and overwhelmed.I think we have to be more careful with the things that we do and be attentive, care about all the people around us and most importantly be happy with ourselves.

Today, social problems are increasing uncon-trollably. Our soci-ety is constantly being constantly attacked by many difficulties that cause people to lose control over their lives. People are affected by a rain of advertising and fashion impositions and most of us are suffer-ing from some kind of addiction and so much stress.Addiction refers to a dependency of a sub-stance that is manifested by consuming drugs, foods or drinks and also behavioral addic-tion that is manifested by practicing some particular activity. The most worrying fact about this is when peo-ple lose control over the situations and therefore lose many important things in their lives due to these addictions. A person who has an ad-

diction has many bad feelings like frustration and anxiety; and it be-comes dependent on several things to cope with daily life Several kinds of ad-diction could be men-tioned that have risen because of modern day events that happen on a daily basis. For example, there is fast food addic-tion in our society. Also, there’s an addiction to new, different technolo-gies. This type of addic-tion has led to an in-crease in the creation of new, electronic devices and softwares. Certainly, one of the worst types of addictions is the one for drugs as it harms the body and destroys one’s health completely.

There are many reasons why different addictions are developed. Stress is one of them. When people suffer from a lot

of stress because of fam-ily or work situations, people are constantly looking for an escape from these things and develop an addiction. Usually, these people don’t have the ability to face difficulties and have a lot of pressure.Consequently, the best way to avoid this prob-lem is by practicing activities that help to moderate feelings of anxiety and despera-tion. Practicing sports, taking part in a sup-port group, traveling or simply watching as the rain falls could be the solution to the problem. Then people can learn to live in complete har-mony with others and themselves, having the security to be able to solve problems without cause damage and live happy and making oth-ers happy too.

This is a ritual that con-sists in throwing new-borns from a height of around 15 meters; this tradition has been prac-ticed for the last 500 to 800 years and it comes from the Hindu´s and Muslim´s traditions. The celebration takes place inside a temple named Maruti, which is located in Karnataka city.The babies must be be-tween 9 and 11 months old before they could be thrown; once they have the correct age they´re prepared and the ritual starts, each baby is thrown and it falls on a white elastic fabric that is extended under the sun and held by few men. According to their beliefs, after the baby passes through the ritu-al, it will enjoy of good health, courage, intel-ligence, strength and

will get God´s blessing bringing prosperity to its family. There is no existing data that demonstrates that an accident or death has occurred because of this practice. In fact all in-formation about this rit-ual explains that those who practice it are so cautious that have not only the necessary secu-rity measures but they go beyond in precau-tions to avoid accidents. It is really difficult to believe that something wrong hasn´t happened yet considering the fact that babies’ bone struc-ture is so fragile that easily a bad posture at the time of fall can cause death. Pitifully in India this practice is not prohibited, in fact it is totally legal.In our world there are lots of weird, crazy and even stupid cultures and traditions, striving to be accepted by society; and

it is ok, all beliefs should be respected while they don´t cause damages to others, but in this case we are clearly damag-ing a helpless group of babies, risking them to suffer severe injuries and even death. This ritual should be prohib-ited immediately. Even though for most people this practice is crazy and inhuman; the ritual keeps on going, and there are no laws trying to prevent this activities to keep hap-pening; and the reason or excuse is that we all should respect other be-liefs and traditions, plus there are no deaths yet.SourcesRecuperado 12 de agosto de 2012 http://malascontumbres.blogspot.com/2009/11/lanzami-ento-de-ninos-en-la-india.html

Mexican Tradition: “Las Piñatas”

The culture of any country is formed with traditions and beliefs imposed by the ances-tors; all events that hap-pened and all experi-ences that they have had. Specifically, the Latin American culture was built mostly based on catholic beliefs. This is because, according to the history of discovery and conquest, we were colonized by Spanish, Portuguese and Italian people and they believe mainly in this religious dogma.Introduce in other way Latin American tra-dition we chose Las Piñatas. This is a reli-gious custom from the Mexicans. Piñatas were born in China, and they are used to celebrate each New Year and cre-ate animal figures with color paper, which are filled with different seeds after placing them in agricultural fields and break them that cause

great crops. An Italian navigator called Marco Polo brought this idea to Europe and during the conquest, Spanish brought it to Mexico.The catholic missionar-ies had an idea to give a religious sense to this Chinese custom and taught Mexicans break Piñatas to represent the faith in God and the gifts that he could give to us. The origi-nal tradition explains that Piñatas have seven peaks that represent the Seven Deadly Sins: pride, greed, lust, wrath, gluttony, envy and sloth. Also, the blindfold rep-resents faith without seeing and the stick to hit La Piñata means the strength or virtue which breaks with the delights of the world. The fruits and candies that Piñatas have inside mean the grace of God. Therefore, if people break La Piña-

ta with the strength and virtue, while also with faith, they can ob-tain the grace of God. Mexicans practice this tradition in Christmas Time to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ in hearts; however in Costa Rica Piñatas are used to celebrate peo-ple birthdays or end class parties. The importance to know about this tra-dition or any other is that people can under-stand the meaning of things we do and why we do them, and this way for us to teach the children about them.Written by Vivian Abarca B.Sources consulted: Mexican tradition.

Between some regulations, this law will allow to the Municipali-ties to give new permits or licenses for sale alco-holic beverages. In some words expressed by Johnny Araya the May-or of the Municipal-ity of San José, he said: “this norm is very good because allows greater flexibility to control the incomes and the licens-es in the business”. The Mayor has given in-

For people who liked to drink alcoholic beverages in the streets or any public place, in the article 20, this law will impose a penalty of 180.000 colones which representing a half the salary base, if they do that.

Last weekend Mexicans celebrated their most rep-resentative holiday as an independent and political country´s: “The presiden-tial election”. How impor-tant can the presidential election be for Mexican citizens and the entire in-ternational community. In the time between 1929 and 2000 Mexicans were governed by people of the same political party which was named Partido Revolucionario Independi-ente (PRI). This long term governance caused an ideal monopoly that concluded in a big wave of corruption. The Presidential Elections of 2000 ended the PRI´s hegemony because the Partido Accion Nacional (PAN) won the election. However, the gov-ernment of PAN was full of mistakes in Felipe Calderon´s period, particu-larly. Calderon was accused of disloyalty to the country because he was granted a credit himself when he was Director of Bank State called Banobras and his brother in law´s company had direct relationship with the government. Also,

Calderon had poor results fighting against drugs traf-ficking and his promises in presidential campaign regarding new employment opportunities had little suc-cess. All this added to the criticism of the current candidate of PAN Josefina Vazquez Mota who was demeaned for her inhabil-ity to maintain the loyalty inside the party organiza-tion, this increased the popularity of the opposing party and its candidate En-rique Peña Nieto won the presidential election last weekend. Now, Mexicans should wait that promises made by Peña Nieto are ful-filled because the social and political environment and the national security needs to be improved. Also, drug trafficking endangers the security of other countries and therefore it is impor-tant that the new Mexico´s President is committed to continue fighting against this problem.

Every year in the end of July and August 2nd, many costarican and some foreign people do the romería to Cartago where they will partici-pate in the annual cel-ebration of the “Virgen de Los Angeles”, the pa-tron saint of Costa Rica. In this romería involv-ing about 2,500,000 of faithful and every year increases the number of pilgrims around half a million people, who are before the Virgin to thank or request his intercession for personal needs, na-tional or worldwide.Legend begins when a little girl, Juanita Pereira, found that image of the “Black Virgin” on August 2nd of 1635, while gath-ering wood in the forest outside the city. When she saw this dolly, she says she looks like the Virgin Mary with child in her arms, she takes it home and stored in a trunk. But the next day when she returns to the same place and finds the

doll in the same place. This happened not once, but numerous times, including after giving the stone to a local promi-nent priest, who then proclaimed it to be a miracle and so began the celebration of the “Virgen de Los Angeles”.The small statue rests on a golden and bejeweled

platform above the altar at the Basílica Nuestra Señora de Los Angeles in Cartago. It is said that the measured of the small stone is 6 inch.Many Costa Ricans from all over the country that spend days and even weeks to make their way to the Basilica, upon ar-riving will climb the steps of the church on their knees, some with their last ounce of strength,

as a means of thanking La Negrita for favors, as well as to pray for help to overcome their sicknesses and/or physical and men-tal disabilities. They can do the romeria of differ-ent forms like walking, riding, cycling and oth-ers, because they live very far of Cartago.This religious holiday is a unique experience for both nationals and visi-tors of Costa Rica, be-cause anyone can be part of this celebration and pray for the Virgen, our Patron Saint.

Flamenco is a Spanish style of music and dance originated in Andalucía in the XVIII century. There is controversy in the origin of Flamenco; some people say is a cultural miscegenation between the Muslims, Christians, Jews and Gypsies, but there is no way this can be checked.Flamenco dance has many styles; these styles are called “palos flamen-cos”. These are divided according to the feeling of the dance and the beat of the music.

For example, divided ac-cording to the feeling, the “Soleá” expresses loneli-ness and sadness. On the contrary, “Alegrías” is a dance full with joy and excitement. According to the beat of the mu-sic, there are dances of a metric of 12 times such as “Seguiriya”, and others with a metric of 4 times like “Rum-bas”. Be-cause

of the rich culture and his fascinating history, Flamenco was declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by the UNESCO on July, 2012.

First of all we will define disability according to the World Health Organiza-tion as: “is any restriction or impairment of the ability to perform an activity in the manner or within the range considered normal for hu-mans. Disability is character-ized by excesses or deficien-cies in the performance of a normal routine activity, which can be temporary or permanent, reversible or arise as a direct result of the defi-ciency or as an individual’s own response, particularly the psychological, physical, sensory or other”. According to Rousseau, the legality of functional diver-sity. “ instead of destroying natural inequality, the foun-dation is, for the physical inequality that nature may be established among men, an equality that is moral and le-gitimate, for the men, which may be unequal in strength with intelligence, become equal by convention and legal right “(Rousseau, 1762, chap-ter 9).

The construction of the ethics of diversity, should be con-ducted in an open and col-laborative way, maintaining a constant effort to include new foundations and ideas that have the same goal: a society in which all human diversity

were welcome, and equality guaranteed for everyone.

“People with functional di-versity, are essential and nec-essary as an active humanity in social processes, are inde-pendent, belong to the hu-man species, require support like all people” (Ulate, 2012) Most people with disabili-ties, according to Law 7600 should have equal opportuni-ties. In our country we have implemented substantial changes, but still lacking.

The people with disabilities are born with a disability or become disabled by an ac-cident. Educating the general public about the rights of people with disabilities has been a process that has not yet materialized, there are still buildings that lack the necessary resources such as ramps, special toilets, eleva-tors and others, although Law 7600 requires. The buses are being enabled, but not all of them have the requirements for equal treatment, many times people with disabilities regarding mobility problems (moving in wheelchairs) have to wait hours to travel on a bus that has ramp, added to this is the rudeness of the driver who must be trained in caring for this population. In regards to education, new

educational programs, “Edu-cation without exclusion” have allowed children with functional diversity, students of the School of Special Edu-cation Fernando Centeno Guell integrated into regu-lar schools, giving them the opportunity to interact and socialize with other children, adapting the school special educational needs. Regard-ing health services, the Na-tional Children’s Hospital is the most appropriate health institution to provide indi-vidual attention, due to the number of medical specialties they offer. In relation to oral health, few dentists who want to treat this type of patients, because they take special care and patience to deal with, but still are human beings who need our help.

Depending on the functional diversity the person has, the family support will be needed in a greater or lesser degree. Many people believe that people with disabilities are a weight for society, and some-times we as society prefer to deny or neglect them because of their limitations.
