Personalities

Almost every day we describe and assess the personalities of the people around us. Whether we realize it or not, these daily musings on how and why people behave as they do are similar to what personality psychologists do.

While our informal assessments of personality tend to focus more on individuals, personality psychologists instead use conceptions of personality that can apply to everyone. Some kinds of personalities are: extraverted or introverted, sensing or intuitive, thinking or feeling, judging or perceiving.

Everyone has their personality. We can’t judge to somebody for their manner to express, to act or to think. We must to respect aour personalities. Personality types are a great way to understand more about yourself and how you interact with the world.

Feng Shui

Feng shui is an ancient and wise approach to the way our environment affects us. The way we feel and the way we act is affected in a great amount by the environment which surrounds us. Therefore, by learning how to properly organize what surrounds us, we can improve our lives, and that is what feng shui is about.

By organizing our environment randomly, we don’t take control of how it affects us and give it the chance to become an obstacle without even realizing of it. Feng shui teaches us that the spaces where we live or work should be thoughtfully disposed in order to take the best advantage of them and make them be a help to us rather than an obstacle.

Feng shui shows us how our spaces can be designed and re-arranged in order to provide us the right balance and harmony. Simple things such as the position in which we place our desk, can become determinative to the harmony we feel in that space, and affect factors such as the concentration we may have when working in that space.

As we can see, feng shui can provide us a very rich and wise new world to explore. By acquiring the knowledge it has to provide, we can understand and improve our environment or space, whatever its nature is. This way, feng shui allow us to improve our life style and our energy by maximizing the environment in which we are.

Innovation Week

Dear ULACIT

This is the first time I see a week of innovation. I really like the idea that the university encourages students to become involved with technology, involving us in activities that were performed.
I think that the organization was very good. Everything was very organized and the students were able to enjoy each of the activities.
Thank you very much for this great opportunity. And I hope we can enjoy the next year of another event like this.

Beachum is busy, making preparations for his transition from criminal law to corporate attorney for Wooton & Simms, a well-known law firm, and begins a romantic relationship with his future boss, Nikki Gardner.

At the end of all history Ted is unmasked and Willy manages to put him in prison.

Religion

In a very personal opinion I don’t believe in religions, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t believe in God. What I mean is that we should have a relationship with God. And the videos we saw in class taught me a lot.

The José Luis de Jesús Miranda’s video, showed me that many people follow a simple man. I think maybe they go in search of the truth. And as it says a great book: Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life... Many people have different ways of finding their true, their inner peace. My peace comes from God, speaking with him, is where I find the truth.

The other video about the priest, who raped children, shows a reality that not only lives the Catholic church also in other churches happens. But in general we can’t judge the mistakes committed by a man. Finally I believe in God, he can guide my way and give me what I need.

Supersize me

Super Size Me is a 2004 American documentary film directed by and starring Morgan Spurlock, an American independent filmmaker. Spurlock's film follows a 28-day time period which he eats only McDonald's food. The film documents this lifestyle's drastic effects on Spurlock's physical and psychological well-being. And explores the fast food industry's corporate influence, including how it encourages poor nutrition for its own profit.

Spurlock dined at McDonald's restaurants three times per day, eating every item on the chain's menu. He always chose to "super-size" his meal, if he was offered. The reason for Spurlock's investigation was the increasing spread of obesity throughout American society. And this problem not only happens in the U.S. population but throughout the world. Including our country, because we are not exempt from what happens with fast food.

We saw as Morgan's body was changing as the days passed. Ingesting this junk food causes several diseases. For example hypertension, diabetes also experienced mood swings, sexual dysfunction and damage to his liver. To return to his normal condition took him a lot of months.

Warriors without weapons

Usually in most countries the only way to solve problems is through the wars and weapons. However, there is a better solution that does not require the shedding of innocent blood, such as the International Committee of the Red Cross. The Red Cross organization is internationally known for their significant assistance and support it gives profound always looking for good humanitarian, during peacetime and wartime.

For many people a warrior is who has weapons and is in the midst of a battle. And people don’t give importance to those who are part of a real social war, those who are part of this committee. That is exclusively humanitarian mission to protect the lives and dignity of victims of war and internal violence. These are courageous people who often threaten their lives to save the life of others.

We should support them; give them motivation to continue their efforts to assist countries and people. They are true warriors without weapons.
