Human Right # 2 Don't Discriminate

DON’'T DISCRIMINATE

In this video you can see one of the best examples of discrimination that we see every day in our society… This normally appears when you’re in the school, at breakfast time or in the PE classes with all of your classmates and you’re odd.
On these occasions, according to the video one boy or girl is excluded from the game by the team. Normally the boy or girl who is excluded is a person, who’s a little different from the rest of the group; because she or he has a little difference compared to the rest… Maybe this difference is physical or psychological but from my point of view this isn’t the problem. The problem consist that none of us doesn’t search any solution to fine a solution of it, and the rest of the group aren’t conscious of the feelings that this person feels…

In conclusion, now we have to start to search a solution of that because we can’t permit it. Probably we don't know that one day, one of us can be in this situation and I’m sure that any of us want to stay on this dark side of our world…

Apple issues fix to reported OS X security hole


This news item talks about that apple has issued a fit to a flaw in its OS X operating system. This software update was released so that people could protect their information. If they didn’t do this update they could be attacked by somebody and lose their information…
When apple detected this immediately a spokesperson said: "We are aware of this issue and already have a software fix that will be released very soon." Finally they solved the problem so well.

In my opinion it’s very sad that a big company has these errors… I know it’s very difficult for them not to make errors because the technology in our society has progressed a lot but, we are talking about apple one of the most popular companies in our world. My opinion about apple is a little sad because I think for them money is the principal thing and the clients the secondary. 

My oral presentation

This term like my fellow classmates I did my oral presentation about my research project. For me this presentation wasn’t very difficult because I had a lot of interesting things to explain and more o less I had the content organized. I change my presentation a little compared to the first presentation that I did about my research project, basically because now I did it in English and there are some things, in particular the mathematical calculus that I didn’t explain because they are so difficult to explain in English… However I think the content of my oral presentation was good, and I agree with my mark because I worked a lot on this presentation, and the final result was very good. 


Virtual arm eases phantom limb pain


This news item talks about doctors who have devised a way to treat amputees with phantom limb pain. Thanks to this invention the patient can move an imaginary arm which he or she can see in the monitor of a computer.
Ture Johanson said that his pain has been reduced a lot thanks to this new invention which consists basically in a new computer program and he now uses this at home regularly.

My opinion about this news is that it’s a fantastic invention which he has done. Ture Johanson explained a little that over decades he has tried numerous therapies, including hypnosis but to no avail… So that’s why I’m happy now, because people who suffer and accidents and lose a limb can improve their style of life.
