Child labor

Child labor

    This picture shows two kids carrying bricks on their heads under the sun. They seem to be something about seven and twelve years old and they are doing hard work. It’s strange the sensation that it pass for me when I see a picture like this. I understand that sometimes it can be necessary for their families, and without it they could be in a worse situation than the situation that they are now. Even tough I can’t deny this feeling of pity.
    Watching this, I automatically think about the things those kids are loosing. They don’t have a real childhood, they won’t be able to experience the good things about don’t have responsibility.
    On the other hand, I think that the kid will be more prepared to the hard life that is come. If his parents couldn’t put his in the school, at least they can learn something working. This way they can be ready to improve their life, even if little.

Compare and Contrast

Bulimia and anorexia are two important subjects these days. That’s because today’s media projects a standard of beauty that often times requires a lot from a person. A study by the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders reported that 5 – 10% of anorexics and bulimics die within 10 years after contracting the disease. Although it is a very popular subject, a lot of people don’t know the differences between those two issues.
When we compare these two disease we can notice that they are very similar. Not only anorexia, but also bulimia messes with the brain. Both bulimia and anorexia happens because people want to lose weight. Usually people that have this disease try to keep it in secret, because they feel like this issue is making them to be better.
However we need to keep it in mind that these two are very different, too. While anorexia
makes people stop eating, bulimia makes the person eat a lot. But bulimia, unlike anorexia,
makes people throw up constantly. On one hand, anorexia can be treated with medicines, on
the other hand bulimia is harder to treat, because it vicious your body, so the treatment is
based on self-control.
In conclusion, both of these diseases are hard to face. It's complicated to overcome these two diseases. Parents and relatives need to be actively trying to help the person with these issues. After all, we need to keep in mind that anybody can have this disease so we need to pay attention, because if we notice the problem early on, it's easier to fix.

How to Plan a Trip

A lot of people around the world love to travel. Some people travel to popular places and others to places that we have never heard about. When the people know the place that they are going, it’s easy to program their travel and enjoy as much as possible. Do you know how to plan a trip?
First of all, you need to choose the place that you want to go. You can do research on the internet to see all kinds of different places that you can go. For example, if you can go to natural places, like forests or mountains, or you can go to big cities to go shopping or something like that.
After you know where you want to go, you should check the price of traveling to this place. Then you can decide if you will go alone, or if you want someone to go with you. Once you already know the place and the price, you can choose the people that you will call, if you want to call someone. Think about someone that would enjoy this trip and like the same things that you like. It should be someone that you like, of course
The next step is to decide the date. Try to find a date that is good for you and for your trip partner. Depending on the date, the place that you’re going may have different attractions, so check it out.
The last thing you need to make before paying this trip is a schedule of what you are going to do there. Try to find some places that you and your partner really want to
visit. Remember to reserve some free time in your schedule after all, it’s a new place to you, so you may find some interesting things that you didn’t see on the internet. Now you just need to pay for your trip. If you enjoy your trip you may want to tell some friends about it, or even return there whenever you can.
