CAUSES OF THE RECESSION

Actually we are living in a world that is affected by economical problems. The first country and the most affected by the recession is the United States because the construction sector began to present the economical problems.
The first cause of the recession has been that the government increase taxes and for this reason people can´t spends the same amount of money buying products, then they prefer keep that money saved.
The second cause is that people decide to consume less, for this, companies decided to produce less and for this reason, enterprises hire less people, and fire a lot of employees producing unemployment.
Another cause and the most important is the inflation, that is when the prices of products increase constantly, creating less consume of people and consequently the production decrease affecting an important part of the economy.
Finally, we can say that the recession causes a lot of problems, not only in the economic field, but also in the social, cultural and political aspects, because this problem produce psychological effects in people and this generates that the relations between persons and between countries begins to be affected and in this way affect the world economy.
Also we can say that one solution can be that the government puts more money in the society for give a possible answer for recession and come back to the normal situation of the economy.

Argumentative Essay...Smoke

Nowdays a lot of people start smoking early for many reasons, for some people are good and for others are ilogical, but statistic shows that a big part of smokers are teenagers, this conclusion has became a big problem not only for the society but also for the parents who in most of the cases don't know their kids habits.

Smokers said that it is a personal decision that only affect theirself and other people have to respect the desicion that they take because doing that they feel happy and is a way for them to relax. In addition they think that this habit doesn't affect other people because in many places they have a particular or special place for smoke, and for this reason they think that smoking in public places or smoke in general is good.

The non-smoking people have a lot of arguments against the smokers. Non-smoking people think that an important argument is the health, because for smokers is a bad issue, and for non-smokers also, because they breathe the smoke for all people and this affect their health. Also they think that is a problem for society because with the time more people, specially teenagers, can acquire this habit.

In conclusion, I think that if a person take the desicion of smoke, have to think in the future and if taking this desicion affect other people, despite if they take all the preventions that concern smoke they have to analize if is a good desicion for their live or not.

THE EFFECTS OF VACCINES VIDEO

THE EFFECTS OF VACCINES

As the time it happens, medicine in general has had to advance for all the diseases that emerge around the world. For some diseases exist easy solutions, and for others, at the moment, there is no solution. One solution that is also used to prevent and provokes immunity opposite to the diseases, is the vaccine, that is an artificial preparation that is administered to produce or increase immunity to a particular disease. For this reason, the purpose of this essay is to show three of the main positives effects of vaccines.

The first effect and maybe the main effect, is that vaccines in the infancy, help to protect from diseases that the children can contract and affect seriously their health. In some cases if a kid contracts a serious disease can stay with defects all his life, like physical malformations, or in bad cases he can die.

The second effect is that vaccines strengthen the inmunological system and increases the defenses in people, no matter the age, the nationality or the country where they are, because vaccines are administered to all the people, in some cases financed by the state, to prevent serious diseases and to preserve human´s life.

Finally, the third effect of vaccines, is that they preserve human´s life and consequently help that the humanity continues living for many decades more as the result of attacking the diseases that exist in the world.

In conclusion, vaccines are considered one of the main inventions due to all the benefits that have brought to human´s life and all the lives that has saved throughout the years.
