People should go to jail when they abandon their pets.

      I am going to talk about why people should go to jail when their abandon their pets, because sometimes people do not know what happens with their pets in the streets, how much they suffer or maybe people know it but they don't do anything in order to solve this problem, the law should implement a punishment fore those people and a solution for those animals.

      Why do people buy pets? sometimes people buy pets (mostly dogs and cats) because they think that these animals are like toys and their children " play" with them for a few days and later, they don't give the importance that pets need. Then when pets grow-up, people abandon them in the streets and they don't want to be responsible for them. There are some other factors about reasons why people should go to jail when they abandon their pets.

      When people abandon their pets, these animals suffer so much in different ways. animals around the world are being abandoned, according to Amigos Pro Animal, A.C. (2009) approximately 10, 000 animals each year are abandoned because these pets are "old ", "a burden" or " not useful ". The pets need a home and love. when pets are abandoned always feel sad and lonely, I believe its similar to animal abuse. It's sad to think that so many animals get abandoned and forgotten in the streets and I think that is just that people should go to jail because abandoning pets is another form of animal cruelty and because in the streets the animals can be trampled and they can generate an accident.

      Animals are just like people animals need a good place to live where they feel safe and wanted. Animal cruelty is a serious problem that still takes place around the world, if you have a pet its your responsibility to give them love and a home ; you have to feed them, take care of them and to give them what they need. Owners should be held responsible and punished for such an offense because I believe it is similar to animal abuse. These animals are domestic and are accustomed to having a caretaker.


      For these reasons I agree that people who abandon their pets should go to jail. I think that it depends of the damage of the animal has. There should be a law in order to apply a punishments and solutions for all pet's sake. Animals love people so you should love them, An animal could be a friend, a best friend or maybe just a companion in life. Remember you are teaching your children lesson later on in life it could be your turn. Don't shop, adopt.

How ICT has changed students lives.

      Have you ever imagined how life would be different without the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) . Nowadays people can not conceive a world without computers , internet, cellphones, screens, etc. That maybe is hard for young people to understand today but it is important to know how and in which way ICT affects or helps young people like students.

      The 90s were the years of computer communications and information access with the electronic mail and the World Wide Web (WWW). Later, educators thought that technology could improve student learning and today ICT can lead to improvement of  student learning and better teaching methods, especially in terms of comprehension and practical skills and in subject areas such as Mathematics, Science, History, and other disciplines and it is being used in ways that were not imaginable, technology is everywhere and in every part of our lives. Nowadays it is common that people have radios, televisions, cellular phones, computers, tablets, internet, so now is very easy to find a lot of information that before it was more difficult to find it is now.

      ICT is helpful for whole people but students are the most benefited because it prepares students for their future and it is a great way to reach diversity in learning styles. Besides the students can  take more control over their own learning. another advantage is that students can have access to digital books and this helps then significantly because it is a lot cheaper than expensive traditional books. In accordance with  Reeves and Jonassen, (1996) when the students use ICT, they develop cognitive learning strategies and critical thinking skills. This helps them with the acquisition of generic cognitive competencies essential for their lives in our society. Pursuant to  Becker (2000)  also the students can study and work at the same time because they can communicate with their classmates or teachers in an electronic form such as e-mails or some social networks. Nowadays, many schools support this idea because it reduces the time of change learning and improves their academic performance.

      But the ICT has negative side too. According to The National School Boards Association (n.d.) Some negative effects of technology in today's classrooms are that students made overuse it and turn educational experiences into games. ICT offers access to information, but it also offers many more distractions. For example gaming, text messaging, emailing and visiting websites taking attention away from the subject. Being taught also be exposed to dangerous situations like inappropriate materials, predators in online networks like chat rooms and social networks. Sometimes students come to have an addiction, and this has a serious impact on the bodies and their minds as well their social and school lives such as poor memory and bad sleep habits, obesity, depression, stress, constant distraction and so on. It would be important for to avoid using ICT as a substitute of teaching since this induces poor education.

      It is inevitable that in the future the schools avoid having ICT because education and technology are in constant change and only people can change their lives in a positive or negative way. ICT is a good tool but as all things in life moderation is the key. 

Reflection.-This essay was very difficult for me because I had few time and I had to investigate a lot and find the correct words to say, I felt stressed but I learned new vocabulary about technology and communication that I will can use in the future.
