Publish or Perish

We have to respect copyrights because it’s unfair and dishonest steal ideas, thesis, investigations, etc. we always recognized discoveries of other people, and I think that plagiarism have to punished. When we are going to talk about any topic, we can base our arguments in others studies or positions but we can never steal these ideas.

I think that a positive attitude is a useful tool for difficult moments. Mind power is an amazing skill but we can pretend cure a terminal illness; this is the placebo effect. We can believe that mind power can control the body physiology its nonsense. If you suffer a terminal illness you should have positive energy, but you never can recover your health and live peacefully because you need an effective treatment.

Monkey See, Monkey Recognize

Mind power has allowed achieve all our goals that we have planned, we are self- aware. We are the results of primates’ evolution; therefore both the apes and human being have consciousness and self-awareness. For some people this suggestion is an ambiguity, but I totally disagree, if we have inherited the apes’ genome obviously our ancestors have the same abilities. Simply, we have improved each of these skills.

Opinion essay

The computer has been an excellent tool for searching and saving information, but we can not depend on it all the time for 2 reasons: firstly, we can get information of books, articles, journals and professional tutorials; secondly, computers can not replace the tools which we have created. I think that the creation can never defeat the creator.

Nowadays, computers have helped us with our consultations, homework, etc but reliable information is in specialized texts. Besides we are preparing for a competitive world and we have to improve our skills and change our minds; we are going to be amazing professionals with critical sense.

The computer is based on million of equations, scientific experiments and physical components for reducing hard work and difficult researches. Modern technology has been a useful resource and the pillar of the progress; however each structure is supported by unbelievable kind of knowledge that it’s conserved in books, the written word.

I believe that computers are useful tools for keeping and organizing information because we can find it rapidly, but we can depend on it all the time because others sources of information as books, journals or articles are very complete.

Problem- Solution Essay

Cancer of cervix has the highest mortality rate in women in Colombia. Most serious problems are poverty, ignorance and early sexual contact. It’s a very complex trouble and we have to act immediately.

Firstly, the Colombian government has to help women who haven’t got resources for paying a medical consultation, for example free medical assistance or brigades. Therefore, we can avoid cancer growth and give an effective treatment.

Secondly, cytology campaigns are a useful tool for informing and encouraging female population to take care of themselves. The result would be to make an early diagnosis and prevent unnecessary deaths.

Finally, the key is the sexual education at home and the school. We should live step by step; a speedy life is a waste of time and it’s probable we can have very serious problems.

There are many ways to improve women life’s quality with simple actions, responsibility and commitment.
