- Water pollutionI think the main problem in Peru is water pollution. Unfortunately this problem continues growing to grow more and more. This problem is caused by the use of lakes and the Pacific Ocean as a dump, so the ocean animals die and the lakes' water become in unhealthy. In my country, there are laws to protect the environmentm, but these are not strong laws. Also, in my country there are many farmers and they need the water to grow their fields. If we continue to pollute the water it will be dissapear disappear. Even though this problem should be decrease decreasing with this pandemic, that is not true it is not, because a lot of people continue to throw too much garbage into the ocean, for example plastic gloves.0 votedJune 15, 20200
- Germany vs USA, electionGermany:The difference to the USA is<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">, </s>that Germany has proportional representation. That's why the number of seats in the parliament (<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">of</s> for each party) is proportional to the number of votes<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">.</s>, meaning no vote can get lost. Every eligible voter has to vote via letter or poll site. There, you can receive a ticket with candidates of your constituency; this is the first vote (Erststimme). The winner gets a direct mandate and can have one of the 299 seats. The second vote is for a party. Before the election takes place, each party makes a list of representatives who could have a seat in the Bundestag. The more <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">elections </s>votes the party has, the more people can sit in the Bundestag, meaning the second vote decides <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">about</s> the percentage of seats (630) they hold in the BundestagUSA:This process begins with primaries. First, each party needs to nominate a candidate (do you call them delegates?). That is done through a series of elections in each state, to determine how many delegates will represent each candidate at the national party convention.In the summer, at the conventions, the candidates are nominated in a vote held by the delegates. The delegate has to vote for the presidential candidates that the voters (citizens) told him/her to vote for. If no one gets a majority among the delegates, they have to vote a second time and in this vote the delegates can usually vote however they want.If a president is running for a second time, he/she is nominated unopposed. <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">In November is</s> The election is held in November. Every state has a certain number of "electors" based on their population - the small states get at least 3. The larger states get more. There is a fixed number of 538 electors. This system is called the electoral college. The voters get a list of candidates for the presidency and vice presidency and a list for the Senate and the House of Representatives.The president who has at least 270 votes in the electoral college wins the election. As a president, you must be at least 35 years old, have lived 14 years in the USA, and have to be born in the USA.0 votedJune 9, 20200

- Educación necesita ser mejor Yo soy un estudiante en un escuela secundario. Me gusta aprender, pero cuando voy a escuela, no quiero aprender, y no sé por qué. Quizás es porque algunos de los profesores no le gusta la asignatura ellos enseñar, o quizás es porque ellos no le gusta los estudiantes. Pero creo que no. Creo es la cultura de los Estados Unidos. En este país, nosotros pensamos mucho trabajo es más importante que los estudiantes están interesado en la asignatura. El países que le gusta aprender están más felices que nosotros.February 20, 201972
«Do you think slowing down the Internet would increase or decrease stress?»
Modern life is impossible to imagine without the Internet.
Over the past 15-20 years, the world has seen a great leap in the development of technology.
Almost every person has mobile phones and computers.
The internet works on all devices.
Thanks to the Internet, people can find the information they need.
For example, they can read literature, check the weather, buy train tickets, clothes, food and more.
Now even a simple man from the village can write a letter that the President will receive.
This is a huge breakthrough!
When the Internet first appeared on phones, laptops, it worked very slowly.
But, people were happy with that option, because they didn't have internet before.
As the saying goes: "getting used to good things quickly"
As the years passed, the Internet developed and the connection speed grew.
Now, in a few seconds a person can find necessary information, communicate with other people, and lead a virtual social life on the Internet.
Let's try to imagine what will happen if one day the Internet starts to run very slowly?
I'm imagining a very scary picture.
People will have frustrated plans as they have no time to negotiate with partners or cancel transactions.
Online stores will stop working, there is a failure in all organizations, hospitals, banks, airports and other places where computers work.
This will cause enormous stress to the entire population. Currently, most companies work with the Internet.
Let's try to look at this situation from the other side.
I think many people return to real life. They will stop communicating on the Internet, they will look for meetings with friends in their real life. They will pay more attention and effort to their families.
People will move more! They will not sit in front of the monitor screen. But they will go to the library, go to shops, cinemas, etc.
I want to sum up my thoughts. People are often stressed. Few people know how to relax, just disconnect from any information and give yourself a rest.
Slowing down the Internet will cause stress, but after a while it can lead to people having more rest, relax and enjoy real life.0 votedFebruary 20, 20190
