3-What I learn in class: I learn that not all videogames are bad for children, if a children play many hours a videogame that have a lot of blood and many deaths, will go slowly getting into the game until he or she thinks that the real life is exactly that the game, but is totally different, and the parents they need to know what they are playing and have control of it.

4-Supp information: Some videogames can help children learn, help in solving problems and develop skills, but there is concern about the effect of violent games in children and teenagers who play excessively.

5-Supp information 2: Some childrens may be "inmune" to the horror of violence, inmitiate the violence that they see and show more agressive behaviour is because the expocision of the violence and also, some childrens may accept violence as a way to solve problems.

6-Opinion: In my opinion, childrens can play an amount of time determined by the parents and as long as parents know what their childrens are playing, and if it is a negative behaviour will have to remove the game.

7- 3 important ideas: "Some childrens are inmune to the horror of the games".

"Parents need to have control of what their childs play" and "Some games help childrens to develop some skills.

Opinion Piece

I think that tattoos are not bad, each person decides what to do with his body and no one can tell them not to it. Today is better to have tatoos than 20 year ago. Before, the person ho have tatoos was seen like a murder or a criminal, those who where doing tatoos were gang members or people who wanted to show something and it was frowned upon.

The first tattoos were made in the jails by the prisioners tattoing different thing that they have they own meaning, and after everyone started getting tattos like a body art.

It is most normal a girl having tattoos than a man, certainly, woman have more tattoos than the mens. In this days the tatoo is seen like an art in a body, the people who has tattoos want to show it to the comunity doing tatoos on their arms or legs.

I think if you do moderatly tattoos and dont cover all your body is well, because when you see a guy covered of tattoos is disgusting, what their gonna do when they became old? the gonna regret it and there is no way to take off a tatto. You can operate but there will be a scar for the rest of your life.

That is because I think the tattoos have to do it with moderation and being aware that it will in your body forever.

Parkinson Disease

Characteristics:

1)   Parkinson`s disease most commonly affects older adults (above     60), but this disease it can appear at a younger age. The causes of the disease are uncertain, though genetics are thought to influence the occurrence. There are currently no cures for Parkinson's disease; however, treatments like drugs and therapy may help to relieve some symptoms and improve the quality of life for sufferers. The level of decline is different with each individual, and is progressive. Parkinson's disease results from the death of dopamine-generating cells in the substantia nigra, a region of the midbrain; the cause of this cell death is unknown.

Why Parkinson occur?:

2)   Parkinson's disease is a disease of unknown origin, characterized by loss of central nervous system neurons that produce dopamine, which is a substance that mediates neuronal transmission in the central nervous system. It affects both men and women. Sometimes appears as a depressed mood, while the sick person or his family can see a psychiatrist, but more often, the disease begins with tremor or rigidity

Parkinson symptoms:

3- -Tremor: Your tremor, or shaking, usually begins in your limb, often your hand or fingers.

-Slowed movement (bradykinesia): Over time, Parkinson's disease may reduce your ability to move and slow your movement 

-Loss of automatic movements: In Parkinson's disease, you may have a decreased ability to perform unconscious movements, including blinking, smiling or swinging your arms when you walk.

   4- Treatment or Therapy that can use a patient (Alt. Medicine):

-Vitamin E helps in the production of red blood cells (oxygen carrying cells).

 -As an antioxidant, it protects your membranes from damage caused by free radicals (unstable molecules in the body).

-It helps proper function and growth.

-It works as a "blood thinner."

This medicine take over 5 or 6 months to do effect, and it is needed to take the pill of vitamin “E” all days, one in the morning and the other in the night.

5- Possibilities of recovery:

In Parkinson, there are no possibilities of recover, is a permanent disease, but you can decrease the disease by having pills and vitamins.

    6- Remedies that a patient can take:

The optimal combination of treatments depends upon the person, symptoms, age and the severity of the disease. There are six types of medications available to treat symptoms; The Levodopa, Dopamine, Agonists, inhibitors of enzymes that inactivate dopamine, anticholinergic and Amantadine.

   

7- What are the costs involved:

Costs associated whit a disease include both direct and indirect costs. Researches recently determined that the direct costs of Parkinson are, 16.634 dollars per person, per year, for people who are covered by both medicate and a private insurance policy.

8- Do health programs in Chile cover this treatment?

In Chile exist a program of the government called Auge-Ges, that cover 69 diseases and Parkinson is number 62 in the list. This program consists that any person that belong to the public system (Fonasa) or private system of health (Isapre) and have this disease can use it. But is necessary go to a specific place indicated by the program of health that you have (public or Private). In others countries like New Zeland, all people that born in the country have access free health. In Australia the treatment of Parkinson is similar with Chile but only because the places assigned for the treatment are free. And in this country all diseases are covered by the government.

Conventional and Alternative Medicine

-The alternative medicine is less expensive than theconventional medicine.

-Conventional medicine is whit doctor treatments and with pills, yo need to spend a lot of money because you need to buy constantly the pills.

-Alternative medicine is with herbs, tea and natural things that you apply in your body, you spend less money because you can take out a herb of a tree or prepare a tea in your house.

-In the conventional medicine is used medical devices to detect the disease that you have, and then is given a recet writed by the doctor for the medicine that is needed to buy.

-I personally prefere the conventional medicine because every time that Iam sick, I use this medicine and does effect on me. I have never prove the alternative medicine, I dont know how is, but I think that it can be very good, but every time that Iam sick Iam gonna use the conventional medicine.

The first thing that you need to have is, the varial and the flip well executed. Then, if you are regular, you put your left foot at the edge of the left side and the rigth foot on the tail of the skateboard in the most comfortable way that you can.

If you are not able to do this trick, is because you are placing your feet in the wrong way. You need to put your left food in DIAGONAL at the edge of the left sid, and where you are going to scrape, you put your rigth feet STRAITGHTLY in the tail of the skateboard and scrape back with all the foot until the foot gets out of the skateboard.

Glossary:

Regular: When you skate with the rigth foot in te tail of the skateboard and with the left foot forward the table.
