Ms. Silvia Castro
Chancellor of the University
ULACIT
Dear Ms. Castro:
I would like to thank you for the organization of the Globalization Week. Students had the opportunity to learn more about the effects, challenges of globalization in different fields, including: psychology, sociology, dentistry and business, to name just a few. It is through activities such as the ones you organized that learning is fostered in an entertaining and different way.
I think this week was a very interesting tour through the different presentations, for example, the CMS (Content Management Systems) that it is a piece of software that will allow you to control and manage the content within a web site.
This presentation was very appealing, but a little boring because of the format. The speaker, he had a problem with his voice, because he spoke very low and barely understood. However, in general enjoy a lot this week.
I think it was very appropriate that each faculty organize an activity, as well, were excellent, for in this case you having different approaches to the same topic, also from different perspectives. Thanks to you and your team for making the Globalization Week a real and meaningful event.
Truly yours, Jose Castillo Navarro

GLOBAL WARMING
Global warming is a popular topic nowadays. It is literally an increase in the Earth`s average temperature, in the near-surface air and oceans since the 20th century. It is bought by the accumulation of greenhouse gases, because those gases allow sunlight to enter the Earth but prevent heat form escaping it. Therefore it is very important to know how is and it caused and effected. Consequently what can to do for reduce the “Greenhouse Effect”
In the first place, the global warming is caused by several diseases such as pollution from factories, carbon dioxide from rotting trees, burning of fossil fuels and other causes. Unfortunately, the power plants need this fossil fuels for produce electricity but they contribute to produce global warming even worse, because it produce more greenhouse gases.
In the second place, greenhouse gases are harmful to our environment because they are a mayor source of air pollution. Much of theses gases cause very serious health diseases; for example, respiratory diseases like asthma, allergies, coccidiodomycosis, heart disease, also chronic lung, among others.

You know this is a big problem, but what to do for reduce those effect even the causes? You can help to stop when you recycle. Recycling glass, plastic and aluminum uses les electricity that if these materials were to be made brand new. You need to try use less a car, and walk more often or if it is a long trip, you can take the bus. You could install solar hot water systems, this is possible for you. I know this problem need national policity and government intervention but you can do those things, let is take action now!
HUMAN RIGHTS ESSAY
Red Cross Movement
The third article of the Universal Declaration of human rights said: ¨Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person¨[i] when we speak of humanitarian movements; the first thing I remember is the Red Cross, because it protects the life of the people. It is a noble non-profit institution, dedicated to saving lives every day. We have all been helped, directly or indirectly by this institution and sometimes we forget that it needs our help.
How can we help? Here are some ways you can help, and get involved with the Red Cross, por example, given your money, time and blood. You have the power to make a difference in someone's life. All you have to do is make a contribution. Every donation helps provide services to those in need. You can make a difference every day. You can help comfort victims of a house fire or teach a pet first aid class. Whether you are interested in community services, international services, disaster services or any of the other lines of services in the Red Cross, you'll find something that fits your niche.
You can help prevent-life threatening reactions of patients. Donor blood must be compatible with the recipient's blood, and it is very likely that a donor within the same racial/ethnic group will be a better match. You can make a difference every day. No matter what your interests are, you'll find something that you enjoy at the Red Cross. Become an employee and see first hand how we work together to provide relief and help save lives.
The work it performs is based in the seven principles of the Red Cross International. They are proclaimed in Vienna in 1965, they guarantee the continuity of the Red Cross movement and its humanitarian work. They principles are: Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary, Unity and Universality.
The movement was born of a desire to bring assistance without discrimination to the wounded on the battlefield, endeavors, in its international and national capacity, to prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found. It makes no discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all, the Movement may not take sides in hostilities or engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature. It is independence to the all governments, no matter they are National or International.
The Voluntary service relief movement not prompted in any manner by desire for gain. The unity is meaning, those can be only one Red Cross or one Red Crescent Society in any one country. It must be open to all. It must carry on its humanitarian work throughout its territory. It movement are , in which all Societies have equal status and share equal responsibilities and duties in helping each other, is worldwide.
These principles represent the commitment of an institution and its personnel with all mankind. It is a commitment to service, to sacrifice and total dedication to other. Therefore, we must collaborate, because any donation we can to give for the Red Cross, we make for ourselves and our families. I have donated blood; I've also worked to buy a "ticobingo." But our help can go any nurse, participating in support groups that each local Red Cross. The humanitarian work the Red Cross developed is wonderful.

INTRODUCING MY-SELF
Hello. My name is Jose Castillo. I am 32 year old. I live in Pavas, San Jose, but the end of the month I will go to Miraflores Heredia for my new House. It's excitative because is my first house (I hope that the first of many). All my life I have lived in Pavas, which is known as a dangerous place to live. However, by living so long in one place, get into it and try to avoid danger. But I want something better for my children and my future wife that is why after so many years I'd rather go to try their luck in Heredia.
When I was a child was not so dangerous, I remember that one could walk around the neighborhood without fear of being robbed or killed. I myself went to school in Villa Esperanza and the teachers were excellent. They always worried and tried to teach us to learn the value of the study.
When one is poor one must understand that only through education can be grow up in the life. My father always told me the money, property or other things he couldn’t give me (maybe debt), but all that could help to study and draw my career I would do it. And he always kept his promise.
My parents are educated with strong values, Christians and taught us the value of work and become someone well in life. That everything good and valuable cost. However, at times I forgot and committed several errors. When I was in school I forgot his teachings and I met with bad companies. The so-called friends urged me to steal, lie and get out of school. I ignored them and I lost a year of high school (fourth year). That really hurt, because I wanted to go to college and graduate faster, but had lost my own decisions a year.
I left school and started working on a distribution of clothing and I had to help the house as punishment, then, to lose a year of school. My father told me later that it was to learn the value of money. I think my parents' favorite saying is "Everything in life takes a cost." This was my first job, then work on Mac Donald's for three years, until 2000. During the 5 years I dedicated myself to own a small business we have in Limon Centro in the German spring. Souvenirs are to sell to tourists who come on cruise ships with permission from JACDEVA. In the years I got tired of traveling and look for a job in San Jose. Finally I was offered employment in the Group Santa Barbara as an assistant grocery, where he worked until today.
Personally, I think by the grace of God has been very good. I have health, work, a nice house and above all a beautiful woman who loves me and that I love. I hope I can be a good husband and who can give you the love that she deserves with the help of God.
