Love

Talking about love is talking about the most important feeling for

humanity. And even so, it has been so many times misunderstood,

mispracticed. The eternal question, what is love? It is a single question

but the answers are many and none at the same time.

Resorting to the dictionary obviously doesn't help much. We will find the

following "Intense feeling of the human being who, starting from his own

insufficiency, needs and seeks the encounter and union with another

being". Many will not agree with this definition.

I would say that this assumption depends on the type of love that is being

talked about. Whether it is a filial or maternal, family or friendship love,

the truth is that these relationships do complement us and fill us with joy,

they make us an active part of relationships and social ties and serve as

a model for generating our own family relationships in the future.

In some, the love of a couple and sexuality is taboo, in others it is a daily

conversation. None is better than another, it's just that, like love, it's

different and that's how you have to respect it. It is also important to

highlight that for complete happiness you do not necessarily have to live

in a relationship.

Every individual can find fulfillment and a rewarding life, without the need

to be married or in a relationship. If each one of us could find happiness

in solitude, our relationships would be more lasting because we would not

need others to be happy nor would we blame others for our misery.

about the following
topic:

Pick a past decade and discuss if immigrants and lower socio-

economic classes had
opportunities at that time.

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples.

Decade of the 60: Immigrants and lower class, opportunities

The United States stands out in this field, of course, as it concentrates the

largest number of migrants in the world and generates the largest amount

of remittances globally. In the list of the ten countries with the largest

populations of foreign-born people totaling one hundred and twelve million

people.

This country is the product of a long history of multiple migratory phases,

many of which overlap, resulting in a highly heterogeneous panorama.

Here we address, quantitatively, some of the main characteristics of

migration to the United States, the main receiving country for migrants in

the world.
First, an overview of global migration is presented; then a vision of

specific migration to the United States is offered. The article in general is

dedicated to analyzing some central aspects of these migratory flows

(authorized and unauthorized).

In a world characterized by globalization and the Trans nationalization of

production processes and markets for goods and services of all kinds,

including labor, which is essential to understand the logic of large

contemporary human movements, the construction of groups vulnerable

social groups.

The United States stands as the main power that attracts migrants and

the most important source of monetary shipments of salaries turned into

remittances to their countries of origin. Even throughout its most recent

crisis, the migratory flow not only does not stop, but continues to

increase.

I remember that as a teenager a neighbor died of her beloved canary Pichi,

with whom she sang
daily and had a great time. In a conversation with my mother, I heard
our neighbor say: "I'm
never going to have a canary again, even if I love them, because then
they die and you have a
very bad time." At that moment, the phrase struck me – that's why I
remember it to this day –
and I didn't agree with it at all because with my mentality at that time, I
thought: «But what
about all the time you've lived together, isn't that good for you?
nothing? If you can't love
someone for fear of dying, then why live?" Over time I have
understood my neighbor; I
understand it perfectly since losses cause us tremendous pain and
emptiness, but I believe that
the fear of pain prevents us from living. I have also come to understand
and experience for
myself that it is possible to go through pain, even though it sometimes
seems impossible, and
come out of it strengthened in sensitivity, in essence, in knowledge and
zest for living. Years
later, already walking through the world of counseling, grief and biography,
I have come to see
that, more technically, this is called "grieving".

Fear of the dark at bedtime can be torture on many occasions for the
little ones in the house.

Seeing how that colorful room, where he played hours before, now
becomes a shady place and in

which his senses do not perceive anything, causes a quite common fear
of the dark in children. In

fact, the AEPED points out that this fear appears in one in three
children around the age of two

and that this percentage decreases at 8-9.

Losing that person to whom the child feels so attached is a thought that the

little ones do not like at all. The AEPED points out that it is one of the most

common fears in the human race in its first years of life, especially when the

little one fears losing his mother, the person to whom he is normally most.

attached.
