Muchas veces cuando nos enteramos de las noticias a través de los medios de comunicación, como podemos estar seguros que lo que estamos leyendo es algo verdadero y no un invento cualquiera, el cual es usado para llamar la atención del publico y de esa forma lograr subir el numero de ventas o de audiencia, eso es algo real, ya que para algunas personas lo mas importante es el nivel de audiencia o de lectores que tienen y a cambio de eso incluso podrían inventar una noticia, pero ¿como podemos darnos cuenta de eso?.

Should Smoking be banned in all public places?

Jenny-lee McGinty Wednesday Night English Class Smoking be banned in all public places? Smoking came to Britain Should in the 1600's but only started to become fashionable in the nineteen sixties and seventies. The main attraction to smoking came from the idolisation of pop-stars and supermodels that smoked, but did not know the risks. Today we do know the risks, so why do so many still smoke? One reason is that many people who smoke started when they were young teenagers, when they did not understand the risks associated. Instead, their only aim was to have the right 'look'. Others may have been driven through the desire to appear older. Teenagers may also have started to smoke due to the influence of peer pressure. Statistically, not many people begin smoking at a later age. Usually the reason behind starting to smoke as an adult is due to work related pressure or simply stress. Statistically, there is a greater percentage of women smoke than men this is due to using smoking as a slimming aid. Hundreds of people die from smoke related diseases each year. Deaths caused by smoking are six times higher than the 20,170 deaths arising from: road accidents (3,444); poisoning and overdose (2,663); other accidental deaths (8,986); murder and manslaughter (503); suicide (4,379); and HIV infection (195) in the UK during

Globalisation in India

The purpose of this paper is to identify the effects of globalisation on the development policies in India as the nation attempts to embed western style capitalist structure and technologies on to traditional way of life, and to find out how India is responding to these challenges in its drive towards economic development. What is globalisation? Globalisation is the shift toward a more integrated and interdependent world economy. This is largely the result of planning by politicians and business organisations to breakdown borders hampering trade to increase prosperity and interdependent thereby decreasing the chance of future wars. Globalisation is not a new concept, the potential effects of globalization, positive and negative were recognized 150 years ago by the political philosophers Marx and Engels. They did not use the word "globalisation", but their themes and concepts sound remarkably similar to our world in 2008 (Marx and Engels 1996, pp.98-137). The merging of historically distinct and separate national markets into one huge global marketplace, falling barriers to cross-border trade have made it easier to sell internationally. Also the sourcing of goods and services from locations around the globe to take advantage of national differences in the cost and quality of factors of production (such as labour, energy, land and capital). The development of communication

Identification of an organic unknown

Identification of an organic unknown Aim There are many different chemical tests, which enable us to identify an unknown compound. The only thing known about the compound is that it contains one of the following functional groups: * Alkene * Primary alcohol * Tertiary alcohol * Aldehyde * Ketone * Carboxylic acid * Ester * Phenol I devised a sequence of tests that would identify which of the groups the sample contains. Initially I worked out what tests there are for each functional group, and decided which one to use on the basis that each test should be dependent on the result of the previous test, which helped me to arrange the sequence. Apparatus and reagents * Bromine Water * Test tubes/Test tube racks * Acidified Potassium Dichromate (VI) (K2Cr2O7) * 2, 4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine (2, 4-DNP) * 5% Aqueous Sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3) * Water Cooled condenser * Clamp and stand * 20 ml - 400 ml Beakers * Measuring Cylinder * Bunsen burner * Phosphorous Pentachloride (PCl5) * Ethanoic acid * Iron (III) Chloride (FeCl3) * Sodium metal (Na) * Tollens Reagent * Sulphuric Acid * Jones's reagent (CrO3-H2SO4 in H2O) * Water bath * Bunsen burner/heating Mantle * 1 ml of 0.5 mols hydroxylamine hydrochloride * Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) * Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) * Ethanol * Lucas reagent [ZnCl2 - conc.

Appreciation and comparison of modern and pre-twentieth century poetry - "Cousin Kate" by Christiana Rossetti and "Manwatching" by Georgia Garett.

Appreciation and comparison of modern and pre-twentieth century poetry: "Cousin Kate" by Christiana Rossetti and "Manwatching" by Georgia Garett Cousin Kate is set in a feudal society. A feudal society is where there are two classes, the rulers (lord) and the ruled (peasantry). The feudal lord had absolute power and expected absolute loyalty and obedience from the lower orders. In exchange they had his "protection". There was a cottage maiden who had a happy life in medieval times. She was good looking but she did not realise this. He took her to his palace. They had sex. Then he started to stalk the cottage maidens' cousin, her name was Kate. The cottage maiden falls in love with the lord. There are six stanzas in the poem "Cousin Kate", each with eight lines, the second, fourth, sixth and eighth lines rhyming. In the first stanza the cottage maiden finds out that she is good looking. We also find out that the cottage maiden and the lord have had an affair. She emphasises regret by saying, "why did a great lord find me out and praise my flaxen hair?" In the second stanza we find out more about the affair of the cottage maiden and the lord. In this stanza we find out how the lord lured the cottage maiden into his palace. Christiana Rossetti uses the word "lured" because it means to trap and that is the lord did. The cottage maiden is unhappy that she enjoyed the

A life in the day of Paul Harris

I wake up 6:30 a.m. with my light going on and a very loud voice shouting, "Get up Paul! Immediately or I will stop you from playing stupid games on your Playstation." (I find this one of my mother's most annoying habits.) I eventually haul myself out of my bed and stagger to the bathroom, where I transform my self from Ape to human. Laura my adorable (if somewhat a pain), sister, is already dressed and downstairs feeding our cat Bobby. Dad is blocking the stairs putting his shoes on as he advances to work for another day in the bank. Mum is busy juggling the washing machine, the toaster, packed lunch and signing my planner. Just as I think it is safe to come down stairs, to have a tasty breakfast of Coco Pops, my mum would start practicing Opera, for her lesson on Friday lunch time. I don't particularly like Opera, I prefer Punk rock, my favourite band is Blink 182 and my favourite song is, "All the small things." The trip to school is fun and exciting with lots of little alloy ways to get lost in. The ride on the train is an exciting but short journey from Hightown station towards Freshfeld station via Formby station. I walk to school from there with my best friend Jamie Hall, who has his hair up spiked and also likes Punk rock. We both share a big interest in computers and we are both going to build a computer individually. School is a mixture of excitement and work

A Model for Leading Change

A Model for Leading Change University of Phoenix A Model for Leading Change Introduction In this 21st Century high-powered business world we live in, the survival of a business venture is contingent upon many influencing factors and the ability of the leader of the business to establish and maintain an environment conducive to success within an ever-changing marketplace. Due to the constantly changing environmental forces that affect businesses day by day, organizations must prepare well initially for success and remain flexible enough through the ages to change with the times in a manner that supports continued success. This paper examines organizational design and sustainability from a change perspective based on the simulation of a company named Good Sport, a manufacturer of health fitness equipment, and the issues faced by leadership and management of the company, and the choices they make and consequences of their choices and actions. Organizational Design There are several different organizational design structures from which to choose when designing an organizational structure. An organizational structure is the framework for all activities engaged in to realize or achieve a vision. In striving to construct an organizational design or structure that lends itself to growth and efficiency, one must give thought to what is the best design for an organization

The veil- for or against? This essay will be centered on the issue of Muslim veils. The Koran, Islam's holy book tells Muslims to dress modestly.

This essay will be centered on the issue of Muslim veils. The Koran, Islam's holy book tells Muslims to dress modestly. Male modesty has been interpreted to be covering the area from the navel to the knee - and for women it is generally seen as covering everything except for their face, hands and feet when in the presence of men they are not related or married to. However, there has been much debate among Islamic scholars as to whether this goes far enough. This has led to a distinction between the hijab (literally "covering up" in Arabic) and the niqab (meaning "full veil"). Hijab is a common sight among Muslim women, a scarf that covers their hair and neck. Niqab consists of covering up completely, including gloves and a veil for the face - leaving a slit for the eyes, or covering them too with transparent material. Tell the faithful women to lower their gaze and guard their private parts and not display their beauty except what is apparent of it, and to extend their scarf to cover their bosom Koran, 24:31 (English translation) This form of dress is rarer, although it has been growing in recent years; it is this which former UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw says he objects to at face-to-face meetings with his constituents. Article 1 entitled; 'Let's draw a veil over Mr. Straw', by Rajnaara Akhtar the chair of Protect Hijab, clearly argues against the veil

How effectively did Irish Catholic and nationalist leaders advance their cause in the years 1801 – 1921?

How effectively did Irish Catholic and nationalist leaders advance their cause in the years 1801 - 1921? In 1800 Catholics were persecuted under the Penal Laws they could not vote, sit in Parliament or hold public office this was unusual because this persecution affected 6/7 of the majority of the Island. Nationalist leaders set out to change status quo. Wolf Tone stated, "Ireland is for the Irish" through this nationalism was born. There are two predominate strands of Nationalism throughout this period in Irish history. Constitutional nationalism, which was to work within the British Parliamentary system in achieving an Irish self-governing body, which would deal with Irish domestic leaving Foreign affairs to Westminster known as Home Rule, leaders such as O' Connell, Parnell and Redmond are commonly known as constitutional nationalists. Republican Nationalists felt differently in methods in achieving Home Rule. Republicans felt that working within British politics would achieve nothing so Republicans turned to violence to achieve their aims such as Wolf Tone and the Patriots, Mitchell/Stephens and the Fenians, Collins/De Valera and the IRA all these Republican leaders setting up paramilitary organisations to achieve their aims however which strand of Nationalism proved to be more effective in achieving their cause?
