POST 4: ANIMALS AND PETS

Imagen
Respecting animals is important for the moral development of a society. And what is respect? Why would it be important to exercise this respect for other animal species? Mahatma Gandhi was not wrong when he said: "The greatness and moral progress of a nation can be measured by the way it treats its animals." Respect for their well-being is a sample of the values that we keep as a society, and the way in which people treat each other.  “Animal abuse can be both a symptom and an enhancer of social violence. Ignoring the needs of animals makes it easier to ignore the needs of other people and limits us from being able to put ourselves in someone else's shoes and see beyond our own needs, "says Melania Gamboa, veterinary physician and manager of veterinary programs at the World Animal Protection organization.

POST 3: MY FAVOURITE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY

    When I was a kid my mom bought me a MP3, one of the first (more modern) electronic devices to listen to music! The MP3 I had for the first time was more similar to the one in the picture and it was the best gift of my life!! Then ( also my mom ) give me an MP3, in which more songs could be stored and for me it was fantastic!   Years passed and the technology advanced to cell phones capable of playing music, I guess that my life would be very boring without music and in turn without dancing, I usually use my cell phone to listen to music, it is fun! in addition the music helps me relax and being able to hear it so easily is very good 😊 For all the things I’ve mentioned and many more, I suppose my life withouth music (MP3, cellphone) would be a lot les fun.

The first real  dream job I had was to be  a nurse because all my life I have been linked to that profession. My mom is a nurse and when I was a child I always accompanied her to work, it was a lot of fun! That's why I think I wanted to be a nurse.  Another dream job I used to have as a child was to be  a dancer, I love the music  and dancing to the rhythm of it is great and funny! Years later when I was in high schoolv  take a test to find out my skills and the results were that I like open spaces and working in them. Finally I decided to study forest engineering because it was related to open environments and I really like that. Things were not very easy at the beginning at the university because I  had personal problems for the whole first year, However the last years have improved a lot, staying a year to finish college. I would like to have a job where I can  work in national parks or reserves, never in a closed place. Maybe I want to have a ...
