My comment on The Internet and other addictions

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 yourself distracted, such as: reading, go for a walk or work out

- Attend to a support group, so that you can share with people that are going through the same situation

- Visit friends and relatives

-Visit a church ⛪️

About Unit 2: Honesty is the Best Policy

Nothing to Hide  As we finished covering the former unit titled Honesty is the Best Policy, a French movie named Nothing to Hide (Le Jeu) suddenly  came to my mind. The film’s plot involved a group of old friends who gathered one evening for a dinner party.

As the game progressed many unexpected and shocking secrets began to emerge exposing their dishonest behavior, leaving them all in the midst of irreparable conflicts and chaos. I decided then to re-watch this movie, but do so through critical lenses, so that I could explore and evaluate what may have compelled each individual of the film to straight up lie or, conceal information from each other.

Unit 2. Honesty is the Best Policy.

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.

Workplace Privacy

Imagen
Workers are often accustomed to personal privacy in their private lives, but employers aren't necessarily obligated to give workers privacy while they're on the job. Employers hire workers to perform specific tasks --- time that employees spend taking care of private matters may seem wasteful in the eyes of the employer, so employers may monitor employee activities to determine which workers are wasting time or are engaged in activities that may raise legal issues or security concerns. A personal opinion, employers should allow workers to have a good time in the middle of their work hours, as long as they do not neglect their work and protect the information that the company and the employees handle. I said that because it is very stressful that they are always monitoring you, and in addition to that having a boss who does not want you to waste time in your work time. Many times an employee with a lot of stress and a lot of pressure does not perform 100% as an employee who en
