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.
