Shattered Glass

It is important to highlight that the events of Shattered Glass are based in a true story. This movie narrate the life of Stephen Glass a Journalist in United States who became famous thanks to their publications whom was a lie. In additon, he failed in his main purpose as a Journalist who is gave the information to people with a middled opinion of them. Also, failed with the freedom thah Journalism has in the population, and fail in the confidence that people has on Newspapers. I think that Glass, don't measure the consequences of his acts and betray the opinion that he invented.

To Journalism in general, is to considerate that every aspect, in very word that they wrote became in a certain point arguments for people who believes in the articles that wrote. This business has to recover in ethics and they have to choose what is more trascedental, give real news or creat whopping great lies to become more riches?

HITLERJUNGE SALOMON

Would you be willing to deny your beliefs (religious/political, etc) in order to survive like Sully did?

I think when someone is underpressure and his life is in risk, can deny or hide his beliefs in order to survive. In my opinion I think that our beliefs are trascendental, because are the identity of person. If I was in his situation, probably I prefer death before to renounce of my principles.

What did you think of the movie?

First of all, I like the movie. I like that topic of World War II and his consequences in humanity. Is a clever movie, with great performance of the actors, and the script is incredible. Plus, it is based in a true story this make a great legacy of Jewish culture.

TOUR TO KYOTO

Well, good morning everyone. My name is Craig Stone, and I'll be your guide for today's tour of Kyoto. First, I want to go over the itinerary for the tour, so everyone can enjoy the trip without being worried about being left behind along the way. And no one has gotten lost so far.

First of all, we'll be leaving at 9:15 outside the main train station exit. That's in thirty minutes. Be sure to board the bus by 9:00 sharp.

We'll be visiting some of the most famous historical spots in Kyoto. Our first stop will be at the Golden Pavilion, a temple constructed in 1397. We'll be leaving there at 10:30. You'll have about forty-five minutes to stroll around the temple and its gardens.

Our next destination will be Ryoanji Temple. That's always a difficult one to pronounce. This temple is famous for its beautiful rock garden. We'll depart from the temple at 11:45.

Next, we'll have lunch from 12:00 to 12:45.

After that, we'll head downtown and stop in Gion. Many people asked me about different traditional shopping areas, and this is a place we don't want to miss. You'll have about an hour to look around, and I'm sure you'll enjoy the atmosphere of the entire area. The shops, the homes, and the restaurants. A very traditional flavor of Kyoto. The tour guide don't mention museums as an important atraction. We'll be leaving Gion at 2:30.

Use Not-Use of Uniforms in School

Although some students criticize uniforms, any schools put in their rules this formal dress as an important element.

Traditionally, uniforms has a mean of distinction. Since the XIX th century that become in a regular wear to use day by day in Anglo-Saxon culture, that impact in many countries included Colombia. In addition, Schools implement this outfit in order to get symbolic equality between students and to get the reflex of them in the behavior and looks of students.


On the other hand, some students don´t feel comfortable using uniforms. Due to the fact that teenagers become rebels and arguments to debate anything. Consequently in modern times, some kind of "sub-cultures" like emos or punks, have certain disrespect for authority. Therefore, these cultures take the use of uniforms like an obligation and they decorate it, not regard the tradition of it.

Taking everything into account, we can see that are supporters and opposers of the use of uniforms in Schools. In my opinon, I think that is important to understand each view of point, but I believe that rules are state to expire.

Opinion of "Treasury may capitalize banks by end of October"

First of all, it is important to analyze that US market is trascendental in world's economy. The huge issue is to determinate the consequences of this important economical fall. In addition, the purposes that US government intend to fulfil this fall can repercute all economical aspects around the world. In these times of globalization, the effects of one action in an important rich country like US, Germany or Japan can affect small countries like Colombia. The objective of US Congress to stop this fall, has to remedy the impact of population who has loss many percentage of the value of this houses. To conclude, Governments has to warn Economical participants like Banks that the effects in Economy of the increment of earnings who was the main cause of this problem.

ARTICLE OF GLOBALIZATION: Treasury may capitalize banks by end of October: source

Some critics of the proposals for buying soured mortgage-related products have said the process would take so long that it would reduce its efficiency, whereas a capital injection through share purchases would immediately put more cash for lending into the banking system.

The question may be whether banks are willing to accept the government as a stakeholder in return for the new capital.

The source said the injections would likely be made public, possibly inducing some reluctance among bankers to use it for fear that they would be identified as vulnerable institutions.

In addition, it was unclear whether a bank that wanted to participate would have to agree to conditions like limits on executive pay and an end to "golden parachutes," or rich pay packets for departing executives.

While public fury remains high at what is perceived as excessive pay for financial firms, corporations are generally reluctant to cede control over compensation levels, perhaps especially so to the government.

Paulson made clear on Wednesday that he interprets the authority granted by the financial rescue package as sweeping and that he intends to make full use of it. He said most attention has focused on Treasury plans to buy distressed securities from banks but made clear that wasn't the extent of his new authorities.

"We will use all of the tools we've been given to maximum effectiveness, including strengthening the capitalization of financial institutions of every size," he said.
