Unit 1: The internet and Other Addictions 

The internet addiction has been becoming into one of most crucial deseases of the time, as far as technology is concerned. Everybody knows that the internet came to better our life, but we are out of control with it. People spend too much time online doing nonsense things and that is a big problem. I’m of the ones who say that if you use the internet to increase your knowledge is alright, but when you do nothing with it, you are just wasting your time. However, I have to say that some people use the internet to get the stress out by watching  things on the social media, and that is not a bad idea. So , I also have to admit that we are in “the digital age” and because of that internet addiction is such as common thing. This addition can be reflected in different ways, like for example, some people are compulsive shoppers, when they don’t have internet they feel sad and depressive and others even feel  anxious when they are using it. In conclusion, one of the best ways to combat this addiction is taking therapy and even going to the psychologist.

Unir 1  The internet and others addictions Justt like Bill, i think there are lots of people having this kind of addictions. I can tell You My own experience because i' ve been there before, i know how it feels not to use the internet when you were used to. The sintoms could be almost the same as when you are depressed. You feel sad, alone, you don't want to eat, etc.  I asked some people what do they feel when they don't have data or internet and these were dime answerss: Rubí: I feel bored, i never know what to do.  Nairobi: I don't feel sad.

I remember once, i didn't have data and only had 100 DOP. I took the money i had to recharge my phone and put data. After i did that, i could do some personal dilligencies and i got more money.  As we can see, people are becoming involved, and t...

The Internet and the other addiction

The internet addiction.       Fist of all, for me the internet is a new technology that has impacted the world and provided many benefits of its users. At the same time internet has had a negative impacts, some people are becoming preoccupied with the internet, are incapable to control their use. The internet has becoming a incontrolable addiction it can damage your family, work and you relationship. Some people think that internet addiction it isn’t real but for me it’s,  I often see how the families are destroyed due to this addiction because the husband is passing hours seeing pornography or the wife chat-room lovers,  also, people are loosing their life savings on gambling web sites online. In my opinion we needs to be careful in how we use the internet and for, because believe or not the internet can be a headache in your life or a benefit; it going to depend  on how you use and manage  it.

Unit 6 - Spiritual Renewal All around the world we can find many people that practice different ritual. We have different religions and each person go to their favorite or just the one they feel comfortable with. In this unit, called “spiritual renewal” we analyzed  the different rituals that some people practice. The one that call my attention the most was “fasting” which is a practice made in different religions. Fasting is when someone decided to stop eating for a specific time with a purpose. Most of the reasons are spirituals. I think this is a beautiful practice that people decide to do. I have never done it but it I could I would. I really like the spiritual practice, it just get ourselves more relax, and algo help us to get closer to God. I think everybody should have their own spiritual practice  in order to get closer to each of us. It is amazing when many people from an specific church get together to create an spiritual environment.
