HOW DO YOU THINK CHRISTMAS MUST BE 

 CELEBRATED 

Christmas is a celebration very important for all the world, although that many religions don't celebrated. When I think in Christmas I imagine all the families enjoying, having fun each other, eat delicious things, buy the food for the special days, I think that all the families have their own traditions, maybe for some families is much important the religion traditions or maybe is much important the gifts, but I think that in December everybody have to be happy and enjoy the festivity.

In my case my family has many traditions for example: my mom makes  delicious cakes, my aunt makes tamales, all the weekends we eat buñuelos with chocolate, and we enjoy with our family. 

The 24 of December we meet all the family complete in a house, we eat there, we passed all the day there, we here music, we see the fireworks, we hand out gifts and we have a happy time and we go to the church in the night. My house is very near from the church and the park so when it's Christmas we always hear music, fireworks, lights and special things that we don't see in the rest of the year.

But I think that finally the real way to celebrate Christmas is helping the poor people giving them food, activities and gifts so you can make that people that maybe don't have a house or don't have anything to eat so you make them Christmas more special and you feel happy because you helped others. When I see al the privileges that I have in Christmas and all the times in that moment I understand that I am blessed from God because at least I have  cloth,  I have something to eat, I have family, I have a bed to sleep, I can go to school. And for me Christmas is the time to be thankful with God to all the things we have and that all the days we are blessed to have life.

For me it doesn't matter we're we celebrate Christmas in a hotel, in a house or in  a street, the importance is that you share with your family, be happy and enjoy because when you will don't have your family complete because maybe  someone died, you are going to miss that person and you are going to be sad because you don't share with, because time pases and a couldn't believe that in less than one month is 2018 and I hope people don't lost the traditions of Christmas in the future years because that would be terrible for the human traditions and the people happiness, but one of the thing she I like the most in Christmas is the food because my mom preparates delicious food like coconut rise with pork and I love that food,  that's also an important part the special food, but for me Christmas is the most important celebration in the year.

CHRISTMAS-COMERCIAL DATE OR A RELIGIOUS PRACTICE

Christmas for my religion is very important also to my family, for us is an important religious practice. When I ask my self about christmas I think that it's a comercial date and also a religious practice because for example, in christmas everyone buys gifts for their family, buy a tree and it's decoration, buy cloth for the special ocations, buy special food for the two special days. In my case  my family make special things for example my mom in december makes christmas cake that the whole family love it, my mom during all december makes buñuelos, my aunt makes tamales for the 24 and 31 of december, almost all the decembers the family is complete, but also in our family we give gifts, but I think that for my family the most important thing is to be together.

But for me to know that in most part of the world the most important is to buy gifts is very sad because that is not the real meaning, for me the real meaning of christmas is to share to be together,  help the poor people, get closer to God, and be happy to celebrate this special ocation. I realy think that one of the most important things in christmas in our family is always make the common traditions , for example the 7 of december our tradition is to go to a house the family complete and pass the whole night turning on the candles and have a happy time and drink chocolat, listen the fireworks, the christmas songs, feel the strong wind in your body, eat delicious things, but I am not going to say that I don't like gifts, offcorse I like them the only is that I don't get crazzy if I don't get a gift, I understand and that's it, but I think that finally the whole world is happy for this celebration. For me christmas is the most important ocation in the year.

THE HUMAN RIGHTS IN COLOMBIA AND

 ALL AROUND THE WORLD

In Colombia the human rights are not the best, but that doesn't means that the human rights in all the world are perfect, they have problems like any country, and every country of the world have it's own laws and rules. 

Colombia had more than 50 years of war with a guerrilla called " las F.A.R.C " , in that times Colombia passed for many bad moments, many people was killed, the people lived with fear, all the towns were attacked, tooked the properties of the people, but the most important and saddest thing is that the human rights were violated, there was no security in the streets, and as a result of that violence the government decided to make a peace agreement, in which they agree with " las F.A.R.C " different choises, for example a salary, a good job or a way to work, have a place in the politics, and that people have to forgive them.

Talking about the human rights or the justice of other countries like the United States, or the countries in Europe, that maybe their justice is not perfect but, at last they do something for the people, for example a man with a gun kills 50 people they investigate about the crime or they take the man to jail, but in Colombia nothing of that happens, only with people that have money make justice, but sadly that is the reality in our coutry.

GLOBAL WARMING

Over the past 50 years, the average global temperature has increased at the fastest rate in recorded history. In the Global Warming there are included many things like climate, the contamination in nature and in the atmosphere, the consecuences, the continuous changes, and the ones who get affected.

The Global Warming is a real threat or problem that affects all the planet, the contamination

of the industries, the toxic gases, the contamination of the oceans, affecting the animals, the humans, causing many disasters like earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, tsunamies, tropical storms, melting glacier, the air pollution. Destroying slowly the planet, making the people being affraid of the  future, but the people now nows that the planet is in this bad conditions and now that maybe in the future the planet will not have resources, the oceans will get dry, the temperature will change very much. But we still doing nothing for the planet, but sadly the important countries don't want to help in The Global Warming because they only want to get money, because if they stop in their industries they will lose money.

The temperature of the world it had changed and the atmosphere is also part of this causing different changes or phenomenons in different places, for example some weeks ago in Bogota rained with ice, and of course that is not normal but this changes of the temperature not always benefit, in some cases the place could get dry, or also the animals can die because of this changes, and many scientists have told that these changes would be very bad for every living thing.

In the last months there have been many earthquakes and hurricanes, that many people can die, millions of people but always that dies are the ones without resources. And countries like Japan have many volcanoes, tectonic plates, and they are in a continuous warning with the tsunamis, earthquakes, tornados, and many other disasters, because they are in  a place that all that can happen in a little moment.

The idea of knowledge of global warming is to work o help the planet and being advice of all the distructions and changes that can cause it, and being able to change or help the planet, do not throw the garbage on the ground, do not waste the water, do not waste natural resources, take care of the ocean, reduce pollution, and take care of the planet because  it is our home and we must take care of it.
