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 participating in support groups can help you improve. In conclusion, do not ever feel bad if you are addicted to the internet; instead, look for some professional help and do different activities, especially outdoors activities to break the pattern.

    I do like your advice. Everybody should be aware about this, so internet users can be able to identify wether they are addicts or not. Even if they don’t feel they are, they should stop using Internet so much me try to do different activities to enjoy life.

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. Things soon got out of hand after they decide to play a game that consisted in surrendering their cellphones, and placing them in the center of the dinner table, so as to allow all of them equal access to each other’s incoming calls and messages as proof that none of them had nothing to “hide” or conceal from each other. 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.

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...
