** Weapons **

Proliferation of mass weapons

Nowadays it is very common to know about people who buy a gun in an easy way. For many people to see the news on T.V in relation to someone dead, involved in an exchange of shots is a regular situation. For me, it is not yet! I feel surprised every time that I hear or see very bad news. I cannot get used to it and I think that I will never do. It is very interesting how the technology can make a destructive weapon as nuclear weapon. For me, it is very astounding this kind of weapons. So, I want to talk about the ways that we can get a weapon, the responsibility of the society and the importance of the control of the weapons by the government.

As I said, nowadays the people can have a weapon easily. The gangsters are the main source of it, almost everybody knows where they can contact any criminal to get one. The groups of robbers, usually, interchange drugs for weapons. So, any person who is interested in some weapon is able to do the exchange. The thieves rob the gun of the police too, and use it to sell and buy drug or in order to do something in self benefit.

It is really incredible the things that have been happening in the schools and high schools. Some students take a gun and kill their teachers or director. I don’t understand how the parents did not know that their children have a gun! The parents don’t have the awareness about the things that their children are doing! They don’t have an idea! They are worried only about work and make money because, I don’t understand why they don’t know it and why they left alone their children, they only give them money and sent them to the school. But, about the preventions they don’t know anything!

And, what about homemade weapons? It is surprising the capacity of the prisoners, mainly to do it. I only think: why they didn’t use their creativity in order to do good works? I really don’t understand why the people want to be involved in crimes and be persecuted by the police, it is not life! The gangster have our society scared, because they have the power of the streets, they win the war to the state, because the state cannot control the delinquency. So, for that reason the people nowadays want to have a weapon in order to defend themselves, but in some cases they are killed with their own gun.

The situation that we are living is incredible and sad. Our society lost the sense of life, the values, mainly the honesty and the respect to the people, their belongings and their lifes. We cannot continue this way; we should make a change and think about what is happening around us? And make an effort in order to help to build a better country; it could be hard, but not impossible.

Globalization week
Organizer
ULACIT
Barrio Tournón

Respected Organizers of the Globalization Week:

I wrote this letter in order to be grateful for your time and effort to do this activity. I only can attended the activity that was on Wednesday, 22nd. In my opinion this activity had a good relation with the Globalization because; nowadays almost all the business companies needs or have a web page to promote their services or other aspects around the world. So, it was great information about a tool that could be very useful for that people to have an excellent web page, with good, professional and security design.

For me the presentation was boring, because I really don´t know about this topic, the speaker wasn´t dynamic in the moment of the presentation, so that influence that the audience become distracted and they didn’t pay attention. I didn’t know about some words or terms that the speaker used, so I was really lost in some parts of the explanations in the presentation, because I don’t know about computer programs and many things about it.

I admire you and appreciate your excellent job. Is very important that people like you, are interested in report to us about different themes that have a great significant for everybody, today.

Attentively,
Kattia Ballestero Alvarado
