A letter

Dear Mr./ Mss. Editor,

I am writing this letter because I read the editorial about smoking and, as it says to write you our opinions, here comes mine: I totally agree with the idea of banning smoking in all public places.

This law would bring lots of problems to cigarette companies, almost all of them would close down and many people would be unemployed. And this would bring economical problems to the country’s economy.

Although I think it would be very difficult to make this law work in all public places (so that they wouldn’t smoke), it would help many people that want to stop smoking but can’t.

What’s more, it would make streets much cleaner, I mean, there wouldn’t be as many cigarettes on street’s floor as there is nowadays.

Hence, I think it would be beneficial to society to ban smoking in public places in order to improve all people’s health even those who don’t smoke.

Yours faithfully,

Daniel Aylmer

Fame

Many people wish the fame because they want to meet others famous people, have money, luxe, ''contacts'', status or fans. So there is nothing wwrong or weird. Unfortunately when this with be ahead the family or welfare. It is the beginning that there is something wrong.

On one hand, to be famous mean have people admire among other things. Obviously, who is looking for the fame expect to be the center of attention, have the fans who want to know what is happening is their life, appear in several television shows and make money.

On the other and, the fame has your bad side. The famous people have to be careful about what they will wear on the street. The paparazzi put on the tabloid any mistake that happened with famous. Not only famous people should have to put up with tabloids but also with who control their life, Quite honestly, famous try to be nice but it is difficult to give personal explications to someone that themselves do not know. They do just to continue be a calebrity.

No doubt be celebrity is not simple. In mean, fame is the summary of patience, lack of privacy and public display.

A letter to a newspaper

Dear Editor

I am writing in response to your article on the legalization of cannabis. Actually, we have to considerate the health of users, social issues and consequences to talk over about cannabis. Not do you have to argue seeing only the medicinal qualities. So there are more things to explore.

No doubt, legalize drugs is an absurd. The results of this attitude will be marginalization, violence and mainly the health risks. This is just beginning of legalize. It is believed that everybody reclaim about this things without legalize. Not only cannabis has the same effects on human lungs that smoke five cigarettes but also cause more cncer than cigarette. On the other hand, cannabis is effective against chronic pain and has potential analgesic effect. Apparently, it is also used to relieve pain in a improve the quality of life of terminally ill patients.

To conclude, there are many reasons why cannabis should not be legalzied. Public systems can spend more money in the future with the recovery of addicts. The number of drug users shots up because maybe cannabis will be more acessible and perhaps cheaper too.

The Fame

Being famous is something that everyone want when is younger. Be kown by everyone, be rich, do movies. But when became older people realize that this isn't what they want. Famous people don't have privacity and their lifes isn't so happy how looks.
Must people think that be famous is what they see in the movies. A lot of cars, freedom to to whatever you want, happy all the times, a lot of friends and be famous for te rest of their lifes. But the things aren't like that.
Famous people have to think a lot before do something because everything they do will appear on the magazines, or tv and they can only walk around the streets with security because crazy fans can attack them.
Fame is something that can bring happy moments and make life easier but it has bad sides too. So you have to see if you want to leave you life behind and live a life without privacity and with gossips, because it is being famous.
Globalization is something that took control of the world and now everybody and everything is moved by it.
Everywhere we go, or everything we do we have to pay for and everyday more and more products , better than the olders, appears and we want to have the newest and the most modern. Everything we do influence us to buy. All the websites we visit, all tv shows we watch, everything. Buy became a necessary thing to life and you are made by what you have , and not by who you are.
It's moving the society to a way of consumerism and more social inequality, but is becaming somehting necessary to live.
But globalization has the good sides too. With it the distance between two people became shorter and culture can be
exchanged between people of different countries.
Globalization can be something bad, but it has good sides too, and now we can't live without it anymore.

Heaven or hell?

Nowadays many people are obsessed with fame, because our world seems to turn around the celebritie's life. In most of cases, they want that because being famous means being recognized, and valued, wich means being rich also.
Some people think that being famous is heaven, because they can't see the other hand. Famous is always associated with good things, including the material ones like, ride around the city with a wonderful car, live in a paradise mansion and stay all your day spending in a shop, buying all that you ever wanted, like in films.
It's important to mension that in real life, things can be different. Everyone will know about your life, and what's worse, will give their opinion about what you should or shoudn't do. To be a celebrity you need to be psycologically prepared, and we can see when someone isn't, analyzing their attitudes. It's not difficult to see in gossip programs, famous people losing control with paparazzis, which are always chasing them.
All in all, the fame life can reserve good surprises, including the possibility of live like in your best dream, but sometime you can face situations wich you weren't counting!

People think that being famous is something easy. They think that if you're rich, you don't have problems. Being famous has a lot of positive points that make people think it's easy to be famous.
Normaly people associate being rich and having everything you ever wanted with "heaven". Sometimes it may be. But when you're famous you have to face problems that wouldn't happen if you weren't famous.
When you're famous your life becomes public. Sooner or later you'll be followed by stalkers, making you spend fortunes in security. You can't leave your house without calling attention. And if you can't leave your house without being followed it would be really difficult to make new friends. There're lots of negative points on being famous. But if you can handle them there's no problem.
Being famous is something that you may like or not, it depends on the person. If you're a person that's always relaxed you won't have serious problems. It's up to the person to decide if it's "heaven" or "hell".

We can't live without globalization

Globalization is something that is really present in our lifes. People got so addicted to it that it's almost impossible to live without it. As an example of that, people normaly can't imagine how the world would be whitout globalization. Probably the world would be just like the old days. No telephones, no cellphones, no internet.
Maybe the technology wouldn't be so evolved today, because to evolve something we need competition to show the need to improve something. Nowdays the best way compete with something is advertising your product. With no cellphone or internet, it would be really hard to advertise something.
Also music would be prejudiced, because it wouldn't spread so easily like today. It would be so boring to write this composition without a cool music. And the newspaper would also be prejudiced because it'll be hard to find news to write on it.
That's my opinion. Living in a world without globalization would be impossible for us, since we need it every day.

Heaven or Hell?

Almost everyone wants or wanted to be famous at least one time in their lives. Naturally because we grow up seeing those beautiful artists living their wonderful lives and then we think that this kind of life is all we ever wanted.

Obviously all that money, all that glamour and fame and all those people shouting our name give us the impression that being famous is heaven. You can have everything you want, at least it is what we think. You can buy the best clothes, the best car, the best everything. You don’t need to wait at a queue. You go to amazing parties and meet other celebrities, but does it really worth?

Actually, we just know the “beautiful” part of being famous. We don’t realize that when we became a celebrity our privacy ends. We will have to explain all our attitudes and there will be someone that will criticize them. There will be paparazzi in every place we go, just to take a photo of you. People will always expect something from you, and if you don’t reach their expectations, they will destroy your image.

All in all, being a celebrity, in my opinion, is more like hell. When you are a celebrity you don’t know who are your friends and who wants something from you. This ideal life does not call my attention anymore. I just want to live my life, with nobody expecting something from me or judging me.
