Social nets

Social Nets.

Social nets are a very common way of communication nowadays. Social nets are very popular among people all ages. There are millions of them and there's a wide variety. But, as all things related to Inthernet it has its advantatges and disadvantatges.

Some of the multiple advantatges os social nets is that it's a way to meet new people, to join with friends you haven't seen for a while, or just live far away from you. It's a way to communicate and socialize with people all around the world and to show your personality to people, uploading photos, videos and writings you like and letting your friends give their opinion.

Athough it has many good things it also has many other bad things. The main disadvantatge is that Inthernet in some way is dangerous. It's dangerous because it doesn't have all the privacy it should have and in the case of social nets even more. In a social net you upload photos, videos and people can see you and meet you, and that's why it could be considered dangerous. The majority of people who are part of a social net such as: Facebook, Tuenti, Twitter, MySpace and many more, don't have any type of problems with his or her privacy in their personal net, but it's true there's another part, that is a minority, that have had many problems, like people stealing their photos to modificate them and upload them in another page, or things like that.

In my opinion, social nets are very useful and have many positive things, as a matter of fact, I belong to a social net; Tuenti, and I really like but I also think you have to be careful with things you upload, and first of all, you have to be conscious when you manage with Inthernet, and know there's a posibility of risk.

Israel-Palestinian conflict

Introduction

Today, the main issues are the sovereignty of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the eventual formation of a Palestinian state in those areas, the status of eastern Jerusalem, the Golan Heights and the Shebaa Farms The fate of Israeli settlements and Palestinian refugees, recognition of Israel and Palestine and its right to exist and live in peace away from threats and acts of force, and Israel's relationship with Syria and Lebanon. Israel currently has peace treaties in force with Egypt and Jordan to ensure their peaceful coexistence.

History

The State of Israel was proclaimed on the 14th of May, 1948, in accordance with international legality and the partition plan of the UN (1947) dividing the Spanish protectorate in Palestine, Jordan and Israel today,, with 77% of the territory to the Arabs (establishing the kingdom of Jordan that included the current territories of Palestine) and 23% for Jews leaving Jerusalem International Zone. The Jews accepted, but the Arabs no.

Less than 24 hours later, the regular armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq invaded it, forcing Israel to defend their country. In what became known as the War of Independence of Israel. Israel not only won the war, but others extended their territory of 8,000 km2 to 21,000 km2 in a legitimate war of self-defense against the Arabs.

My opinion

The nation of Israel has a powerful historical reasons, political, moral and religious, to own their small land in peace. However, in nations such as Spain the ways of comunication, have mediatised people with the idea of that the Jews invaded one day a country called Palestine where they lived the Palestinians and that currently the only cause of the conflict in this land are the Jews, usually presenting the conflict from only the Palestinian side.

William Ockham

William of Ockham was an English philosopher also called William Ockham, or Doctor Invincibilis (“Invincible Doctor”)

He was born in Ockham, a small village in Surrey, near East Horsley, and he estudied in two importants universities: Merton school, Oxford, and also he had John Duns Scotus ( he was one of the most important theologians and philosophers of the High Middle Ages) of teacher.

Franciscan philosopher, theologian, and political writer, a late scholastic thinker regarded as the founder of a form of
Early life.

In his controversial writings William of Ockham denies the right of the popes to exercise temporal power, or to interfere in any way whatever in the affairs of the Empire. In philosophy William advocated a reform of Scholasticism both in method and in content.

Ockham's attitude towards the established order in the Church and towards the recognized system of philosophy in the academic world of his day was one of protest. He has, indeed, been called "the first Protestant".

Nevertheless, he recognized in his polemical writings the authority of the Church in spiritual matters, and did not diminish that authority in any respect.

Gustav Klimt

Gustav Klimt was born on 1862 in Vienna, Austria.
Klimt's work is diferenced by the elegant gold or coloured decoration. This can be seen in Judith I (1901), and in The Kiss (1907–1908), and especially in Danaë (1907).

In 1897 Gustav Klimt founded with other artists the Vienna Secession and became its first president. By that time Klimt had developed his own and characteristic style. Like impressionism, art nouveau was an International revolt against the traditional academic art style.

Gustav Klimt's style is highly ornamental. The Art Nouveau movement favored organic lines and contours. Klimt used a lot of gold and silver colors in his art work - certainly an heritage from his father's profession as a gold and silver engraver.

Countable nouns

English nouns are often diveded in "countable" or "uncountable".

Countable nouns are things that we can count.

For example: "pen", we can count pens. We can have one, two, three or more pens. Here are some more countable nouns:

Ex: dog, cat, animal, man, person

Countable nouns can be singular or plural:
Ex: My dog is playing.
Ex: My dogs are hungry.

We can use the indefinite article a/an with countable nouns:
Ex:A dog is an animal.

When a countable noun is singular, we must use a word like a/the/my/this with it:

Ex: I want an orange. (not: I want orange.)
Ex: Where is my bottle? (not: Where is bottle?)

Uncountable nouns

Uncountable nouns are substances,
qualities, processes, concepts, etc... that we cannot divide into separate elements, we cannot "count" them.

These nouns have only one form,
are not used with numbers, and are not usually used with the determinants, ”the”,
”a” or ”an”.

Ex: money, paper, water, salt, milk, education, energy


Quantifying uncountable nouns

Uncountable nouns can be quantified using expressions such as: little, much,
some, kinds of, types of etc., see above.

Ex: time (little), treatment (kinds of), advice (some)
