Entry 8. Second version: Immigration challenge

The moment people migrate another country several conflicts in relation to differences among people cultures and ways of life emerge.  In most cases unemployment, discrimination and social exclusion are the main cause that lead these people to suffer profound depression, stress and sadness.  Thus immigrants become vulnerable and completely exposed to be treated in a bad way as if they were not human equals because of not belonging to the culture of the country of arrival. Therefore, access to adequate health care, education, public services, and so on in the foreign country are completely restricted.  As a matter of fact, in most cases immigration results in negative traumatic experiences that generate feelings of anxiety and abandonment, which are indeed a great challenge. 

Entry 9 - Conclusion paragraph:

In conclusion, expert testimony, public opinion and empirical evidence confirm that the use of cell phones while driving is a completely dangerous negligence that subsequently affects driver´s ability non favorably causing fatalities such as people´s deaths and injuries. Despite a minority of people consider traffic regulations as inefficient, research indeed re affirms “laws” concerning people´safety are needed to be imposed in order to reduce risks.

Entry 8. Immigration challenge. (Irusta - Miranda)

The moment people migrate another country several conflicts in relation to differences among people cultures and ways of life emerge.  In most cases unemployment, discrimination and social exclusion are the main cause that lead these people to suffer profound depression, stress and sadness.  Thus immigrants become vulnerable and completely exposed to be treated in a bad way as if they were not human equals because of not belonging to the culture of the country they arrived. Therefore, access to adequate health care, education, public services, and so on in the abroad country are completely restricted.  As a matter of fact, in most cases immigration results in negative traumatic experiences that generate feelings of anxiety and abandonment, which are indeed a great challenge.

Meta cognitive reflection

The moment I was asked to create a free paragraph and then exchange it with a peer I thought it would result in chaos. However I surprised myself when the main meaning of my production definitely did not change. Thus the three conforming parts of a well written paragraph depend one another subsequently the body itself conducted us directly to the creation of a topic and closing sentence suitable for it. I enjoyed this unusual experience which confirmed theoretical aspects concerning paragraph´s structure we had explored.

In favor or against (Irusta- Miranda)

Racism is a clear and cruel reality in our society that affects especially vulnerable people. Since childhood people are accustomed to discriminate anyone who differs from what they are, who do not correspond to a standard culture, on the basis of the belief that they are remarkably above them. Thus people who discriminate are not aware at all about the amount of suffering caused to other´s integrity. In most cases these people are not capable of expressing their dreams and desires freely, the presence of opportunities to progress within any society are fewer in comparison to other members, moreover their self steem is so profoundly damaged that “different people” finally believe that, for no reason at all, mistreating them is definitely worthy. Each time someone is treated unfavorably an entire “future” is restricted. Therefore, minorities are usually excluded from the common places and this brings about frustration.

Entry 7. In favor or against

The existence of superior or inferior considerations in relation to differences between people´s race, colour skin, physical or mental abilities restrict human lives. Since childhood people are accustomed to discriminate anyone who differs from what they are, who do not correspond to a standard culture, on the basis of the belief that they are remarkably above them. Thus people who discriminate are not aware at all about the amount of suffering caused to other´s integrity. In most cases these people are not capable of expressing their dreams and desires freely, the presence of opportunities to progress within any society are fewer in comparison to other members, moreover their self steem is so profoundly damaged that “different people” finally believe that, for no reason at all, mistreating them is definitely worthy. Each time someone is treated unfavorably an entire “future” is restricted. Therefore limiting other´s lives does not enable humans to discover the enormous beauty present within the “difference among them” which simultaneously make them unique.
