Internet addiction is the most famous addiction nowadays. An Addiction is inability to stop consuming substance or activity that in excess can affect your body, metal health and all the people around you. The anxiety, depression, bullying, lack of attention to the role of parents in child and teenager are the main causes of the internet addition in young people. In contrast there are people who become internet lover, they really enjoy and use inteenet for good purpose, and don’t waste their time surfing on the internet, they take advantage of it, and use as an opportunity to work, study and have fun too in many cases.

After I graduated from high school, I started  to study dentistry but because of some difficulties, I had to change the career and I decided to study modern languages.

The internet and other addictions. 5 Types of Internet Addiction Internet addiction is a broad term that covers a range of behaviors and impulse-control problems involving internet, personal computer, and mobile technology. While there is yet no officially accepted criteria to diagnose an internet addiction, researchers have identified 5 subcategories of specific types of computer and internet addictions. Cybersex Addiction A Cybersex addiction is one of the more self-explanatory internet addictions. It involves online  pornography , adult websites, sexual fantasy/adult chat rooms, and XXX web-cam services among others. An obsession with any of these services can be harmful to one’s ability to form real-world sexual, romantic, or intimate relationships. Treatment options are available for those with cybersex addictions, typically in the form of intervention followed by ongoing inpatient or outpatient  therapy . Net Compulsions Net compulsions concern interactive activ

In the world there are many people with internet addiction. people who this addiction don´t have communication with society and they don´t have friends in real life, they only have friends on the internet. nowadays children and teenagers also have internet addiction, their parents buy an electronic device and they spend a lot of time on the internet, they don´t play with their friends and they don´t like to go out of their home. some children and teenagers are rebellions and violent. they cannot live without their electronic devices and their parents do nothing to solves this problem.

Honesty is not lying, is a lot more than that. I definitely think that everything needs to start by you, sometimes you are honest to someone else but you are not being honest with yourself. Not lying but to turn a blind eye makes you even  more  guilty because you are maybe ignoring one thing that is not affecting you now but in the future it will.  We have to stop only thinking on what only affects me, and if you see your friends and family on the same situation, to make  them  aware that they are doing something wrong nd they have to stop.  I really love the policy If you see something say something from Unites States because believe it or not this policy have saved even lives.

I can really relate with this picture, but my addiction is not related with internet, it's actually even worst, I procrastinate a lot and can get distracted very easy.  I´m working very hard to cut , what I´m doing is  prioratized  what needs  to be  done first and until I´m not finished I  dont  stop. Sometimes is not procrastination is that I start doing one thing and  without  finishing I already have something else on my hands o or mind. I started my job to organized my priorities and I´m not taking opportunity on what I´ve learned and using it at college and home.  My slogan now "is one thing at a time"  

I'm very sorry that I´m actually posting this late my description, it  was supposed   to be  my first assignment on this new blog but things sometimes get a little complicated.  I always live on the edges. On this occasion my mistake was publishing this first assignment on the wrong blog, I posted on 324 2019 1 blog, it was actually a nice description but I´m already used to have inconveniences on any situation of my live.  I always try to prevent things happening to me but I´m also ready for the next step or to find a solution. What to say about me, I´m very passionate, if I want something I work for it. I woke up at 5:00 am today to post this, I just wanted to give up and leave college but surrender is a very hard word for me, I´m not doing it again. My name is Evelyn  Urena , I have 2 kids, I´m married. My oldest daughter is 13 years old. I was 17 and pregnant which was a very difficult time, but here I´m time passed by and I´m dealing to success,  to be  a better

  Unit 1 The internet and other addictions    To start the comment about this unit that for me is a very important unit, because it talks about a big problem that is going on in our society nowadays, and because of that I want to begin defining what is addition from my point of view.   From my perspective, addiction is an uncontrollable habit that a person has with the consumed or used of something, it could be surfing on internet for several hours, googling, blogging, IM-img, alcohol, cocaine, etc. Now, I am going to talk about internet addiction, I think someone could spend long hours surfing on internet and not necessarily that person should be an addict, as long as it is that someone job. But if you spend most of your time online and your fulfillment becomes limited to interaction on a screen, then you are addicted. So, if someone is addicted, in order to get help, that person has to turn himself in to a support group or to a therapist, they can

Honesty is, in my opinion, the most important value that humanity has, because for a social development  one must act honestly with all the people in  their environment so that they come to consider an integral person. Honesty is not only being frank but also being able to convince others to be honest, this attitude sows’ confidence in oneself and in those who are in contact with the honest person.  During the week I  really enjoyed the Billy Joel song. honesty, especially when it said Honesty is such a lonely word Everyone is so untrue Honesty is hardly ever heard and mostly what I need. By Ramon Segura. 

ADDICTIONS…  SHOPPING ADICTION      Every form of addiction es bad, no matter whether the habit be the internet use, drug, sex or gambling. We can define the word ´´Addiction´´ as the mental slavery to something.      However, the addiction what I came to talk you   is the ´´Shopping Addiction´´ Noweday, this kind of bad habit is considered a normal routine amoung young people, in specially, women, because they always are pending of the home´s needs, but there is a tiny tie between shopping a need, and shopping somethig that we don´t need. The irresistible desire of be up-to-date is almost uncontrollable in whose has this kind of addiction. According to stadistics about the 3% to 7% the worl´s populaton has been affected by this bad habit, therefore, in spite of, its seems not be a problem, its is, because through the time, it´s going affected different areas in the life those who put it in practice.      For instance, at the time, when a shopping addicted can

The Internet and Other Addictions        The internet addiction, as other addictions, can damage your mental and physical health; moreover, can destroy your social life. Just because you use the Internet a lot – watch a lot of YouTube videos, shop online frequently, or like to check social media does not mean you suffer from Internet Addiction Disorder. The trouble comes when these activities start to interfere with your daily life. Thus, when the use of internet interferes with your daily activities such as work, school, and even taking care of your child, it needs to be treated; and the first step to recover is to recognize that you have this addiction and that you need help. Signs and symptoms of Internet Addiction Disorder may present themselves in both physical and emotional manifestations, such as depression, dishonesty, anxiety, isolation, loneliness, headache, insomnia, backache, etc. After realizing that you suffer from Internet Addiction, seeking professional help and

The Internet and Other Addictions      Surfing on the internet has become an addiction in the last decades. It looks like being connected is vital for people. Many spend more time on the internet than they do with their family, friends or working. This situation preoccupies many people. All addictions can and should be treated by professionals. Therapy and support groups help a lot in the process of overcoming an addiction.  Accepting the fact that we have a problem is essential for us to break the vicious cycle that addictions cause. It is not until we are out of the woods that we see how devoted we were to our addictions and how they affected our thinking and quality time with the ones we love. Génesis Rodriguez 

 To be Honest, it gives you the tools you need for be a respectful person, everybody believe in you without questioning you, and nobody can talk in bad way about you.

Sometimes I thing, I am an internet addict, because I spend some hours using my cellphone ( connected to wifi) doing nothing interesting and seeing my messages. Now I don't do it a lot, but because I have no time.

Internet addiction is a psychological disorder that causes people to spend so much time on a computer that it affects their health, job, finaces, or relationships. As the text in the book that we are using NORTH STAR says, there are not only internet addictions there are other types of addictions.  People with other addictions such as alcohol, drugs, sex or play have a higher risk of developing an addiction disorder to the Internet.  According to what I could read on the internet, studies suggest that people with internet addiction disorder also have a higher risk of mental health problems, such as: depression, anxiety, social isolation, impulse control problems, psychosis and hostility  . In my opinion I think that any type of addiction can ruin lives because it can cause complications, psychological disorders and many social problems. DEVORA MEDINA  100088489

Hello! My name is Laura Estefani Álvarez Díaz. I was born on February 12th, 1998 in San Cristóbal, Dominican Republic. I currently live in Doña Ana S. C province.

Unit 2: Honesty Is the Best Policy This unit, Honesty is the Best Policy, was discussed in the class, the professor asked some people about what is to be honest; one student said that it means, not to take what is not yours. Another said that a person is honest when always say the truth, when does not say lies. On the other hand, we talked about honesty in the Dominican Republic, and they said that here we do not have honest people, it can perfectly be seen in politicians who are not honest instead they are corrupts, irresponsibles, unreliable, liars, among other things, that if I keep writing I won't probably end. In my opinion, being honest is to have integrity, not taking things that are not yours, not lying, not cheating, being sincere and always tell the truth. An honest person is a person who is trustful, who is loyal, who is faithful, who has values, and whose opinion will always be sincere. Regarding honesty in the Dominican Republic I agree with what was discussed in t

  Regarding internet addictions, I could take many different approaches to deal with these issues, which are affecting a lot of people around the world. The development of technology has been focused on increasing access to information in a faster and more accurate way. As a result, we are overwhelmed with the amount of data that is bombarded to us, even when we are not looking for it.   I think that each of us has already developed a sort of fixation for social networks. Nevertheless, some people are hit every single day by many messages, emails due to their work. In my particular case, I surf the internet around fifty times per day. I use many different apps for my students to practice the English language. I got a bunch of emails, and the updates concerning our center are sent through WhatsApp. Because of this, I must be online all day long. However, as soon as I reach home, I try to get rid of my electronic devices for a while.   The difference between an internet addict an

There are many reasons why people lie, but all those reason end up wit the same goal: to get something in their favor.  We all have lied at a certain point in our life, to get a job, to convince someone of something, to run away with murder, and so on. Those pretty lies are seen like something that are fine and like if they are not going to cause any damage but that is not always true, some lies can bring really bad consequences. I found an interesting article about lies that I would to share with you guys.   8 Different Types of Lies People Tell by Dawson McAllister Types of Lies Understanding the different types of lies can go a long way in recognizing the issues that the liar is going through- whether it be you or a friend. White Lies A white lie is often called the least serious of all lies.  People  tell white lies claiming to be tactful or polite.

My comments about honesty Honesty is when you speak the truth and act truthfully. An honest person doesn't do things that are morally wrong.If something you do is breaking the law or if you have to hide what you are doing because get in trouble, you are probably not being honest. An honest person never say lie , act in the correct way.

Nowadays the use of internet has become more popular than ever before, especially among young people, which spend most of their time surfing on it. They not only use internet for educational purposes, as it was mainly use at first. Lately, internet has come out for the use of social networks, such as: Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp in which millions of young waste their time every single day, also do any foolish action in order to get likes, comments and shares. The internet addiction is a serious matter, since sometimes it is necessary therapy and the cooperation of support groups to overcome it. Once people get addicted to it, they cannot control how much time they spend using it, and cannot get through their day without being online. Their emotions can even depend on the types of comments they receive in their posts and the amount of likes they get. If you are going through this kind of addiction, I will give you some advices: - Try to find different activities to keep yours

Internet and other addictions!! In those days where people use internet to do almost all things in this world, including keep in touch with people that are really near to each other,e are becoming more and more susceptible to get more addiction problems. Weave to get over using those devices as a part of our lives, and learn how to use them only when it's necessary, and we have to learn when we need for help and try to get together with other out of the usage of technology

It allows to get more knowledge about things  that you can surf around the world and also what is happen in daily life.  Also, the internet allows to be ready for the life, such as taking  extra classes from YouTube and videos that Internet offers us every single day.

I want to definete what is Internet and what is Addiction. According to the site web techterms.com, the internet is a global wide area network that connects compter systems across the world.  On the other hand, the definetion of addiction according to Medical News Today, Addiction is a psychological and physical inability to stop consuming a chemical, drug, activity or substance, even though it is causing psychological and pgysical harm. After reading this chapter and looking for information about the subject, i know that excessive use of the internet and the coputer are harmful in contemporary socierty and have changed the way we live or lives more than any other technological means. Despise this, we still know relatively little about the effects of internet addictior on our psychological functioning, mental health and general well-being.
