The technology is very important for the development of the world, nowadays the education institutions have all the technology easy to get the knowledge. Is more easy to learn with the help of the technology, this make that the students fell more interest in to learn more things and more quickly.
For the university students is important to have all the resources and the technology is the most important thing, for example they need computers, software, equipment of advance, internet, many things, etc, sometimes the university need communicate with teachers of another places for to give more information or activities in particular and they need equipment tech for communicate, for that reason they need technology.
In the schools is necessary give to the students good education, the kids need activities that they likes, actually they can see educative videos and to listen educative music, in the similar way see television programs that help to their with their learning. They can learn in different forms for example with games, computers programs and other things.
The principal source of information is the internet, this source give information from many places and help for all the home works and to get any information that they want, many times that information is wrong and the students copies that and believe any thing, similarly they lose the interest in to read books and practice sports, the technology in some adequate form can help to the students but on the other hand it takes they out of the real activities.
Is very important to know how to get the knowledge, use the adequate tools and to have all the possible correct information, the technology is the most important tool for the learning, because gives all the necessary help, but on another hand the students should take the correct sources of information, nowadays is essential to have all the help for the students learning and the technology is really important for the quickly learn and to get more information.

Do you agree or disagree that progress is always good
Progress is the objective of all governments, societies and persons by the benefits that it provides, there are so much opinions in favor or against so we will analyze why some countries are poor and others are rich, why some countries obtain progress faster than others and some consequences of progress in the societies.
Progress is defined as the useful change or improvement in society, is the objective of a society as we have said because it is a way of being more productive and competitive in the world, getting more money and them obtain progress in other aspects like new technologies that are very useful at this modern times for be connected to the entire world.
Progress bring others important benefits as better help services, an important aspect in this days, more efficient public services, better education, improved infrastructure in the countries, as a result of this improvements the people will be more prepared and ready for international competition in many economic situations, specifically by better productivity.
On the contrary some people thinks that progress will make slaveries of technology because the people will not make anything without depending of some technology device, for example to write a letter necessarily need a computer. Moreover progress makes that less people in the world have a job as a consequence of the replacement of people by machines in factories leaving high unemployment as consequence and many poor people that will not have way of how to feed and how to get educated.
In conclusion, the progress helps us be more efficient and productive, very important factors in these times of high international competition which together helps us get better medical services, education, which together helps us to be increasingly better.

How do movies or television influence on people’s behavior?
The television and movies have become in part of our lives in most places there is nobody who doesn’t know the T.V or the movies but how many people think that they are a positive influence? Or how many think that they are a bad influence? These days we have censorship and schedule depending on the age and the time but for some people is not enough and for others it is too much personally I think that T.V and movies have a good influence most of the times
The T.V and the movies have been used for education giving school classes on T.V others for cultural documentaries and children programs that try to approach them with their own roots and teaching the good old values using characters and situations but many people think that this is too few because the budget for this kind of entertainment is too small against the other programs and movies who don’t give us anything besides violence gossip and advertisement who tries to sell us a way of living and the items that we suppose to have in order to live it this means that for some people it is too much brainwash.
In the other hand for the most of the people many of these programs are a source of entertainment and fun who most of the time show important values on their characters even if the situation is not always real or actual and we have to respect their right to see whatever they want to see no matter how silly or nonproductive it seem like for us anyway the T.V and the movies are giving to the audience what they think the audience want and is in the mind of each one if they should or should not see anything or buy anything for anyone.
It is a fact that T.V and movies have a good influence in the audience most of the times and even if they don’t have it this is not an excuse for get out of the air a program or ban a movie without the people have the chance to evaluate and decide if it is proper in the best interesting of the children or most of the people to regulate who can be the audience we can’t let a T.V program or a movie managed our behavior but also the people who want to ban everything that they don’t like.

“PEOPLE WORK BECAUSE THEY NEED MONEY TO LIVE”
Most people work is essential in order to live because it enables to develop the individual needs of each person as well as can get many economic benefits that will influence the future life, all people should be working to meet their own needs and solve physical workload because work can get economical and mental stability.
The question is whether people actually do the work because they want to or because they happen?, on the one hand, sometime people working to make a difference, to have more power, to feel more intelligent and important because they believe that things will not give it, that all costs and you have to work to get what they want.
On the other hand, other people work to keep busy or just do what you like, because happiness is that these are paid to do what they really like; but others do it for new challenges and for reasons to get up every morning and go to work with enthusiasm.
In addition, the really of it is the people will have to work much harder to get money to live and can get economic stability, security and personal satisfaction. To illustrate, more money will make us happier, the people work more and earn more money , they moved to a larger home in a neighborhood better, buy a more expensive car, enjoy a higher standard of living than before; but not when they compare ourselves and they begin to identify with our new neighbors, the people believe that if they work more will be more happy, when in fact the increase in your wages simply implies a lower total utility and less happiness.
In conclusion, the main reason why a person should work is because there is a motivation or desire that allows you to make efforts to achieve goals and results of all efforts is ,undoubtedly, the satisfaction in the economy and the family which means a better way to live.

PLASTIC BAGS: PLASTIC TRASH?
PLASTIC BAGS: PLASTIC TRASH?
Nowadays, there is a global worried about protection and care of environment. Technology and industries are considering environment’s good treatment like a necessary condition at the time of elaborate a product, even the simplest. For example, we have the plastic bags that supermarkets give for free to its clients. In the last days we have been exposed to an advertisement announcing a new kind of bags 50% more biodegradable than traditional ones, which means a benefit for nature. The fact is no matter how much biodegradable be able to be, plastic bags are a menace and generate big damage to the environment and to the beings that live in the diverse habitats. Next are uncovered some reasons that support this affirmation.
In first place, plastic bags are made with polyethylene, a thermoplastic derived form oil. After decomposition this chemical creation produces petro-polymers, smallest and toxic components that finally will contaminate the soils and fluvial routes. As a consequence, these microscopic particles could begin to be a part of animals diet chain. According to the WWF’s 2005 report, the effect on the wild life can be catastrophic.
Second, a traditional plastic bag takes between 50 and 120 years to be totally decomposed, depending of the elaboration, and it has already been mentioned that the product of this decomposition is very harmful. It is supposed that one of this bags will decompose in half of the time. Even if this is true, in 10 years the damage caused to the environment it will be enormous and at the end the product it will be the same and this poisonous components will spread all over the place where the residues of this bags are deposited damaging the environment and its inhabitants, including the human being.
Finally, we have the damage caused to the animals. When the bags are not useful anymore, most of them are rejected in an inadequate way, contaminating forests, rivers and seas. Constantly, fishes get caught in this bags and then get suffocated and die. The bags in the water look very similar to jellyfish and to plankton. Valuable animals for the ecosystem like turtles, confuse them and swallow them, which causes an almost immediately death or make them get sick and kill them slowly, that is worse. On the ground, birds, raccoons and others animals make the bags part of its nests and dens, modifying the ecosystem and damaging the harmony of the habitats.
In conclusion, the plastic bags, despite of its usefulness and the efforts of industries and technology to make them more biodegradable, generate big damage to the environment and they are a hazard for the alive beings that inhabit it. The real responsibility at the time of using them or rejecting them appropriately is ours. Is in our hands to obtain a healthy and clean environment, for our own benefit and of our children. Anyway, it will always better to use a non-plastic bag.

Technology and studies
Nowadays, since the creation of internet, it has become a way to find information easily. Students can use calculators in order to solve equations and math problems without wasting time and without a certain mistake. But, with this help, students don’t use this information toll appropriately, like stealing information and copying from another partner in a middle of a test. This could be bad, but technology is a good tool to learn quick and in this article I’ll show why.
For decades, calculator has helped students and economist solve equations more precise and in a short time, so people can learn the basics of calculus and physics more accurate, without worrying about how perfect the answer is. Before, solving algebra and calculus problems was very boring and imprecise for the people, and it took days and weeks to figure out a problem. Nowadays we can see electronic calculators that are commonly used in schools and universities, at banks and offices, figuring out problems in a simple way. In addition there are high-tech calculators that are special for electronic and electrical engineers, use for long challenging equations that a simple calculator can’t do.
Since 1995, the year that Bill Gates, founder and president of Microsoft, created the biggest network, called Internet, people can set up communication between other people in the same or in another country exchanging different kinds of information. In the study field it has become a powerful tool, because students can browse on the internet information about their homeworks, without the need of going to the library wasting time and money. Also you can fin the audiobook, which means a novel read by someone and recorded you can buy or download it for free. You can transfer it from you pc, to a mp3 player and know about what the book is in a shorter time than reading if you don’t have good reading abilities.
But some colleges and schools are against the idea of using technology. Students use the internet to find done homework or essays, from an untrustable source in the web, making them to copy and paste information from the source, without reading and learning about the topic and knowing anything about it. Also, cheating has become easier than before for students with the technology income. Students in the middle of a test take pictures of the solved test using cell phones and transfer to a partner’s one through Bluetooth in order to copy and paste from the cell phone math and physics problems, for example.
Summarizing, technology is a powerful tool depending on how you will use it. But the advantages of using it for good are extremely high, rather than using it for bad intentions, because nowadays, teachers and college professors are well informed about cheating in tests and works. So technology help students learn quickly.

MEDIA INFLUENCE PEOPLE' S BEHAVIOR
Any type of information is basic for the developed of any process, but that depends of the handling and results that the people, companies or product wants; because if the power of the information is very important, and it can use to generate benefits or to manipulate the behavior.
As technology advances and media choices increase,; children can developed a constructive way of learning by means of programs in different channels like discovery kids, Disney channels and another institutional channels that teach very good topics like socialize with friends, health habits, numbers, words, colors, etc.
For this reason is important supervise our children all time, because the media play’s a significant role in shaping children's life.
The media could have many bad influences on people, because it make's anyone want to change the way they look, there way they dress and the way they act, so they can be accepted by society.
For example the supermodels and the Barbie dolls shown on television. The media show they are as being the ideal woman, and their having the perfect body, and that in order to fit in you has to look like that.
Since children are spending an average for hours a day consuming media, they have little time to do homework and spend time with their family.
Children can see acts of sex, violence and people consuming drugs as normal and risk free, because " everybody do it and is very excited".
To begin with children who sit in front of a screen all day, have a greater chance of suffering from obesity. Parents need to pay more attention to the amount of time their children spend ingesting media, because it can have numerous long-term health effects on children.
To summarize, there are many things in the world that can have an influence on the minds of people, some examples are friends, family members, teachers and role models. But the important thing is the formation and values that each person learns in the person's home.
