Unit 9: Personal Carbon Footprint

Global Warming

Global warming is a problem for everyone in general. Different ways of contamination such as using the car every day, do not deposit the waste in the correct place, the need to buy things that are not needed have caused the planet from choking by increased carbon dioxide (CO2).
Today some people are helping the planet with recycling programs, planting trees, vegetables for their own consumption. This also helps reduce emissions. What is needed is to make a change in culture or we will end up destroying our home.

Unit 8: Marriage

Marriage


Marriage is a social union or legal contract between people that creates kinship. The people join as a symbol of their love, trust and respect and to create a home full of good, and in the future become a parent, to give values, traditions that are at home. The couple should think about how they will stay married, work and money to succeed.

Unit 7: Voluntary Simplicity

Simple life
Simple life is a very apt term for people who live in harmony with the environment. The simple life is a way of life in which we stopped using material things, and we start using thing "nature" provided things that do not cause damage as candles, or wood stoves. We stopped using the clothes dryer and dry naturally. Another way to live a simple life is to stop buying things that are not needed, grow their own food, recycle what you use, and save as much as possible. Today this way of life is very limited because the people live in a world of consumerism where people spend as much as they do not have, and pollute the environment endangering the planet and that at some point people will end up with the resources we have today and these will no longer be available later.
 

Unit 6: The Art of Storytelling


The storytellers are people with great imagination. They develop stories for children, and make their stories joyful or dark to attract attention. Also, the voice talent may change depending on the type of story that they are telling to be more real. A famous example of storytelling is Jackie Torrence.

Today, it is not common to see people who tell stories because it is a tradition that has been lost over the years. Before, it was very common to see moms telling stories to their children to sleep, but those traditions are lost.

Without forgetting the night life of this place which is impressive for its clubs, nightclub and bars. One of the most famous is Coco Bongo.
