A synthesis of the world’s plentiful and varied races, religions, and cultures, America is a home to all, such that no one group can call itself more “American” than another. And the fusion of cultures here is so unique and so exceptional that citizens can be just as proud of their original cultural heritage as they are to be an American.

Immigrants from all over the world have come to the United States to live. the population consists of individuals and groups who havedifferent ethnic, cultural, racial, and religious backgrounds. That is why the United States is often called a nation of nations.

Publicity - A big influence on our consumer life.

Advertising has a big influence upon consumers, because the majority of those people pay atenttion to what comes up on TV or in printed ads.

Ads make people wish to possess a certain product or look which makes the investment of brands on advertisement pay of.

Soo, we may conclude that in most cases TV ads or printed ads are a good way to make people desire some stuff just to became as good looking as the models who do the ads.

But to overcome that look is required some harder work than just spending money on the product that the comercial sells.

Reflection on ads (in general)

Generally speaking, the controversy in publicity insists on sexual content or on really sensitive problems (like AIDS...).
Publicity has to be appealing to people, specially because it has to convince the consumers to consume.
Printed ads, or commercials have the function to make people desire what they are trying to sell, but in some cases that need of convincing the public leads to an outrageous abuse of seduction.
This excessive use leads to the banishment of many ads, what can create controversy among consumers and companies who make the ads.

Consumerism in our Lives

The consumerism, nowadays, is part of our lives.

Many people have a huge need to buy compulsively not only clothes but any sort of products.

We can say the consumerism has became to be an influence in our lives, and we may justify this phenomenon by the need of a great first impression, and the fault of a very judgemental society.

Of course that this may leed to the so-called excessive consumerism.

This stands a problem, 'cause the majority of people who shop this much are more likely to suffer from a (slightly) serious problem: being shopaholic.

But this isn't very frequent unless the lack of money funds that many people have after they feed their consumerism.

Cool, very cool :DD

Like many teens look up for their idols, the products they use are going to be really popular.

Soccer players (the good ones) are a good way to sell products from brands like Nike, Adidas and many more...

We may consider Nike cool cause teens always follow after the products that Nike produces,

and for years and years brands like this continue to sell this much thanks to

soccer "heroes" who are cool.

Last generation of Phones and technological gadgets are something that young people desire.

It is some sort of fashion for teens to always buy the newest stuff.

So companies on their commercials have the need to hire someone that young people look after to present those new gadgets.

Christmas song

Christmas Time

Christmas, one of the most important days of the year...

It depends of your age and your religion if it is actually that important...

Now-a-days it isn't what it used to be, no more a family reunion and no more the happiest times!

As you grow up you lose the fantasy behind children's christmas, and Christians no longer give much importance to this day...

The genuine spirit has been lost and for children is just the day that they recive much presents as their parents can afford give them, for christians it is just the day for wich they have to cook enought to feed a wale and the most religiouse thing they do is go to the midnight mass.

Christmas without presents?

christmas without presents is like fish without water, for many kids...

In the days we live in people give to much importnce to that habit, and now for many kids thats what christmas all about.

A big incovinient about christmas time is the amont of light and stuff that citys use to give people an environment of love, friendship and joy...

But behind all that the electic energie waste, that costs to much money to city halls should be reduced!

Genetically modified food

Genetically Modified Food

Benefits

Genetically modified food has got his own benefits...

Majorly GMF is useful because in some cases it is a huge help for some of the producers, cause it is cheaper to produce in way that they can produce more and pay less that for normal food...

For sure GMF's aren't yet scientifically proved to be has good has normal food, but it is a fact we have to consider that GMF can help people financilly.

Controversies
GMF can harm human health , including allergens.

Another problem that cames with GMF are the potential environmental impacts, including: unknown effects (like death) organisms. And loss of fauna and flora biodiversaty....

In the realities which would you rather live in?

Option a)

Option b)

Choose quickly, because we are running out of time...

Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished).

Solar energy!

Solar energy is the energy derived from the sun through the form of solar radiation. Solar powered electrical generation relies on photovoltaics and heat engines.

A partial list of other solar applications includes space heating and cooling through solar architecture, daylighting, solar hot water, solar cooking, and high temperature process heat for industrial purposes.

To capture solar energy the best resurces are photovoltaics panels,

wicht aren't very expensive, and the rate of "sucess" isn't exciting...

Anyway, we all should fell a bit satisfied by knowing that, progress is being made to reduce the number of fossil fuel used...

Fossil fuels!

Fossil fuel are the most used energy resucess since they had been discovered.

unfortunatly they aren't very environment friendly, and they are not renewable...

Man kind should be soo dependent on them, 'cause some day, not very far, they will be gone!

By that day we will be finely comited to discover and explor renewable energy...

But, progress are already been made in that area, anyway they are to expensive at this time, in a way that it isn't at everyone's service.
