AUGUST RUST

I really liked this movie because it gives a message of love. I think this movie shows us the different types of love that exist one is love of the mother and the other the love for the couple, and the two shows that despite time and distance always carried a sense and feel in the heart. I really liked, because what I said the movie is that even if they spend several unusual circumstances the feeling and love will take you where the person you love. Also reflects that one inherits certain characteristics from parents, also the feeling that they have also brought together the passion for music.

I feel that's why I identify with the movie because I am from people who think that with love anything is possible, and if there is in our hearts we will be happy.

Technology

The People who have had the opportunity to see the different changes that technology has not as much as we marvel older people. Why I have prepared some questions to see what the elders of all the technology that we now.

Q/ You have a cell phone or know how to use it?

A/ I have not and do not know how to use it but if I know them because they all have.

Q/ When you were a kid had some technology in your home?

A/ Never know when we were kids, I had no TV, the kitchen was wood. The very few homes had telephones and were very different from today.

Q/ What playing in your childhood?

A/ We played very little because we had to meet certain chores. If a neighbor had a ball we played with, and most times we invented something to be able to play. Also traditional games such as hiding, running.

Q/ You think you what time it was better before or those currently?

A/ I think it was better before, because people were healthier, were doing more things outdoors; children now spend hours playing with a computer. also for not having television, all those things that children have now spent more time with family, we sat all the time to eat.

Immigration

Our country is recognized as a small, harmonious, peaceful, free and democratic. Nice things besides the lack of border security and immigration laws few perhaps these characteristics are what make many people want to migrate to our country.

But being a nice country for many this has become a problem. In Costa Rica have large numbers of immigrants, which some have come to seek jobs, but others have come to make trouble. I think our country has more secure borders; we have no immigration police capable and effective enough to combat this problem. Also the law is not so strict to solve the immigration; it is not like other countries that if they stop when no documents are punished for a number of years can not enter the country or also if they are caught more than once can be punished with jail.

Maybe if the immigration laws of this country were more strict and strong not many people would give undocumented and would have more order and improve the situation of Costa Rica. Our laws are very old and sometimes absurd and those on occasion contradict and violate.

Education

In our country education is free and compulsory, all children are entitled to attend public school. Although this sounds easy it all is not well; because there are many children and young people who for various reasons cannot go to school, one is because you have to work, other parents do not have enough money to purchase supplies or sending them to school. There are also others that the school or college that is closest to their home kilometers having to walk for hours, ride horses, passing rivers and run the risk every day to receive education.

I think for some situations referred to both the Governor himself should be able to allow home schooling if it will implement a system of education at home would provide more facilities to hundreds of children and youth you can make your school and college with the help of parents and tutors, computers and technology in addition the government should not spend on facilities, salaries of teachers, maintenance and all expenses required to maintain a school or college.

Of course, so that students can opt for this system should undergo a study to be accepted and trained because I think that this way of educating can be applied only in special cases such as those with few resources, those who live far away, those with disabilities this to take care not to educate people lazy and not fighting just the opposite.

Community Service

The Community service is important in the formation of students because it is a way to make a practice helping the community. I think maybe that is not mandatory by law; I think all universities should be required if community work so each student will give more value to the work, it also encourages young people to continue helping the community and forms so people more sensitive, collaborators for the developments of the city.

If each person performing the community service sees the importance of being able to help with what they learned in the university, it would have a more united community and progress always. Each university should require their students working hours for the welfare of society and so each student gives a contribution of the formation that has been, this way we professionals more human and helpful. The students who have already made the community service, we must be good people and continue to help our community whenever we can because if we all do a better community, a better country and a better world.

Living Longer

Anyone likes to think in old age, many people think that they are going to be alone; others believe it is time to enjoy family and rest. Living longer has advantages and disadvantages. I think this may depend on the quality of life. One people can live well if they have family, and good health. If they do not have to work and can share with family their last years. These are some of the advantages of living longer. On the other hand there are some disadvantages of having achieved so many years. For example many seniors live alone; they have to do everything without help. Others spend most of time alone, also suffer from diseases. Living a long life is good depending on how you live, taking into consideration the quality of life.

intelligent animals

There are many animals with great skills, but those who I most admire are the dolphins and the elephants. For me these animals have a large memory, and learn things quickly. For example elephants when another animal in their herd dies, they are beside the dead animal for a reasonable time as humans do, and also have great memory because they can remember things from many year ago. Dolphins play games they themselves have created, for example play bubbling water and are capable of being trained to follow instructions and entertain people. Also among intelligent animals dogs may be mentioned, because when they live with on owner.

Obstacles, personal success

We will always find obstacles in life, and it depends on the character we have to face, so we will succeed or fail. Often we feel bad for some things, but if we have courage, perseverance and motivation we can move forward.
There are people that have many disabilities, and some are people who give us an example of life because they succeeded.
Every problem has a solution, but it depend on how we take it, we must always walk forward and never feel that we will fail our future since it is in our hands and we must have the strength to face what life brings us. We have to share with positive people, and always will fight to succeed.

Influence of media on societal values

The media keeps us informed, with good and bad news. I think that this depends on the way you want to see it. Because there are people that are influenced by media. However, the media has an influence on people, because we are filled with negative news such as crime, accidents, and all sorts of problems as political, familial, and economic.
Maybe this affects the values of citizens; therefore there is less solidarity, honesty, respect, love. People tend to live this way.
