The internet and other addictions

According to what the book says, internet addictions and others, it is something that happens day after day and that humans have the weakness to prove without taking into account the consequences that this entails. We must not forget that these moments of withdrawal are always due to problems at home, in relationships, and by the qualifications of the university. All these problems cause anxiety attacks, depression, feeling empty and alone. Finally, there are treatments to overcome them such as attending support groups and getting involved with people with the same situation, and there are also therapies.

    Hello!
    I agree with you internet addiction is something that is going out of control, and many people do not know the consequences of this problem, even many people don't know they are addicted to internet use. As you say some of the causes of this problem are family problems, low self-esteem, relationship problems, as people feel isolated without nothing to do, they get into this addiction.

About Unit 3: The Bold and the Bashful

The Bold and the Bashful         The content of this unit reminded me of a time I was considered shy and introverted. I also particularly remember being  misattributed  of having an  aloof  personality by many of my classmates in middle school and high school. However, later I understood this was simply because I did not share most interests or hobbies with them; therefore, while it might sound a bit  condescending , I just did not make any efforts to be on their good side, or seek for their friendship as I found it pointless. Nonetheless, I did get to build great friendships with a few  kindred souls  along my formative years with whom, to this date, I feel comfortable and content around and can talk about pretty much everything. So, what I learned about my personal experience is that there is nothing wrong with being shy or introverted, as long as it does not lead us to develop a physical or emotional ...

The Tipping Point

The Tipping Point According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, a tipping point is " the critical point in a situation, process, or system beyond which a significant and often unstoppable effect or change takes place ". With this said, I think globalization has proven to be one of the most remarkable tipping points in worldwide history as it has had a tremendous effect in world economy, education, ideologies, health, and several other aspects of humanity.  For instance, it has made countries depend upon each other for sustaining their economy (e.g. tourism, petroleum, etc.) and also through free trade treaties. In addition, globalization has allowed for universities to reach international agreements. Studying abroad has become more accesible and as a result, professionals are being better equipped for their tasks. Another consequence of this phenomenon is the spread and assimilation of new ideologies like feminism, civil rights, gender ideology, and inclusion of disable...

Unit 6: Spiritual Renewal

Spiritual renewal refers to practices or intends to get closer to the divine practices including fasting, praying, meditating, among others. This is not a new practice, it has been among us during centuries. All religions seek spiritual renewal, but their motivations are not always the same. For example, in fasting, we find that some religions do it to get spiritual discipline (episcopalianism), some others to get away from materialism (judaism), and others do it do to preserve their ancient traditions.It does not matter the reason why we seek to be renewed spiritually, what matters is that we all have the internal need to seek it. It seems like humans beings have the necessity to connect with something greater than the self. Once a heard a very interesting phrase that said " The only one who can truly satisfy the human heart is the one who made it." I believe this is the reason why we are always trying to get closer to the divine. Because we want to be truly satisfied in t...
