ISABEL'S DIALOGUE

ISABEL'S DIALOGUE

I did this dialogue with my dear friend, Marta. Our dialogue is about if young people should or shouldn't live together before marriage.
This is the dialogue:

Isabel: Hello Marta!        
                
Marta: Hi! Isa

Isabel: How are you?

Marta: Fine, and you?

Isabel: No to bad, thank. Can I ask your opinion about a topic?

Marta: Yes, of course

Isabel: I've seen in TV a woman that said that young people shouldn't live together before marriage. Are you agree with this?

 Marta: Yes, I'm agree because I know a girlwith 17 years that lives with her boyfriend and now she has lots of problemas that she can't solves so she's very sad.


Isabel:Well, in my opinion young people are free to do that they wont. I imagine that this girl didn't think very well, and she will regret the rest of her life, but was her decision.

Marta: Yes, but I really think, young people can be free to do that they wont depending of the age.

Isabel: O.K. in that case I agree with you, but getting back to the previus topic, if couple loves, they can live together before marriage. We have to think that we're in the twenty-first century.

Marta: As a general rule people can't be together before marriage, but it's true that the rules have changed as well is easier to separate because is not necesary to get divorce.

Isabel: Undoudtedly, well I have to go sorry, we continue talking another day.

Marta: O.K I also have to go, see you soon.

When we had to make the dialogue Marta and I were very nervous but I think  we don't went wrong.
we laughed a lot when we were rehearsing the previous day.

Miriam's Dialogue.

My classmate Marina and I made a dialog, and choose theme the high salary that celebrities get.

Marina: Hi Miriam!
Miriam: Hi Marina!

Marina: How are you?

Miriam: Very good and you?

Marina: Also very good.

Miriam: You know I just heard? That a year Cristiano Ronaldo win 13 million euros. It's incredible! How can you win so much money, if it is just football?

Marina: The truth seems to me an exaggeration,

Miriam: And just for kicking a ball...

Marina: It isn't as simple as giving them a kicking a ball, had to work very hard to be there.

Miriam:I agree, they have had to work hard but the doctors also work hard and don't change much.

Marina: Yes, but football is a very popular sport here in Spain, and apart from the players together with actors for example learn much money.

Miriam: In my opinion I think that they shouldn't learn much money it isn't normal for a minute he win 25€ when there are people are starving.

Marina: I share your opinion, but we must also say that many famous people who learn much money they share the money with NGOs, sponsoring children, etc.

Miriam: I understand, I know that they donate much money, but this isn't reason.

Marina: Well, the truth that allthrought we agree or disagree with the learnings of celebrities everything will stay the same.

Miriam: Well yeah, well I have to go, Marina.

Marina: OK Miriam, I hope to see you soon, bye.

Miriam: See you soon.

SECOND TERM - WOMEN'S DAY

WOMEN'S DAY

We do this class to commemorate the International Women's Day.

 After seeing a slide show on women in different parts of the world, Antonio handed a piece of paper to each student which contained the name of a place and what women did in that place (for example if  women had to marry thirteen years or things like that).

 In this class, we also talked about Simone de Beauvoir. Here I leave a brief biography of this woman.

On January 8, 1908 Simone de Beauvoir was born in Paris. Her parents were Georges de Beauvoir and Françoise Brasseur. She Was dedicated to the Feminist Movement and spoke out the way the French Against Institutionalized poor unmarried mothers. She was also a atheist who committed that religion supplied strongly felt a reason to evade truth.
  Simone died on April 14, 1986 in the city where he was born in Paris.
 We can say that when we speaking of Simone de Beauvoir are talking about a memorable woman. One of the French intellectual figures more important and committed from mid-twentieth century whose contribution to feminism has been very significant.

ETHICS, APPLIED ETHICS AND MEDICAL ETHICS.

ETHICS, APPLIED ETHICS AND MEDICAL ETHICS.

First we read a document on the web Wikipedia in which we defined terms such as, Ethics, the branches of ethics, applied ethics.
A reading below, we conducted some issues.

The definition of Ethics is as follows: Ethics, Also known as moral philosophy, is a branch of philosophy That addresses questions about morality-that is, Such concepts as good and evil, right and wrong, Virtue and vice, justice, etc.

The branches of ethics are as follows: Meta-ethics, Normative Ethics, Applied Ethics, Moral and Descriptive psychology ethics.

An important definition in this paper is Applied Ethics.
Applied ethics is a discipline of philosophy athical That Attempts to Apply theory to real-life situations.

Another definition is very important and Medical Ethics.
Medical Ethics is a system of moral values ​​and Principles That Apply Judgments to the Practise of medicine.

In this context, what a dilemma?
A case of dilemma in House.
Offering Dilemma is a problem at least two Possibilities, Neither of Which Is Practically acceptable. Sometimes, no good solution to a dilemma in medical ethics exist, and Occasionally, the values ​​of the medical community with ONFLICTS thevalues ​​of the individual patient, family, or larger non-medical community.

HOUSE.

This day we saw an episode of the popular American series "House. "
In this chapter Dr. Gregory House who leads a team of diagnoses in the Princeton Hospital.
It has many discussions with fellow doctors because many of its assumptions about the diseases of patients are based on subtle or controversial ideas.
His acting in breach of the rules and procedures in the hospital often leads to trouble with his boss, who later was his girlfriend who is the hospital administrator and Dean of Medicine Dr. Lisa Cuddy.

With this episode there was a debate in class, which was being discussed whether it was better to tell the truth to their patients or not.

GANDHI.

Mahatma Gandhi was an Indian political thinker who was born on October 2, 1869 and died on January 30, 1948.

 

He studied law in England.

He believed that social injustice should be fought hard, but not violently, but causing a change in attitude on the opponents. Was developed and new methods of control such as hunger strikes.

The thought of peace is still a model for many social movements that postulate non-violence as a means of protest.

For the second quarter have sent us a book about Gandhi, we have to read us the first 6 chapters and make their activities for the March 2 that the correct class with Meghan.

On April 1 will be given all the activities of book and make a voluntary examination for up note.
Later as we did above correct activities with Meghan.

SECOND TERM - THE GOLDEN RULE

THE GOLDEN RULE

In this class we were talking about The Golden Rule and did some questions.

The Golden Rule is a maxim, ethical code or morality that essentially states either of the following:
- One shoul teat others as one would like others to treat onesself (positive form)

The Golden Rule is importan to discussing human right because is arguably the most essencial bosis for the modern concept of human rights in which each individual has a right to just treatment, and a reciprocal responsabily to ensure justice for others.

Of course, we have to respect the Golden Rule because is very important for live in peace with other persons, and to be happier.

We don't think that It's necessary to belong to a religion to follow The Golden Rule because treat people better isn't into any religion is within yourself.

In this hour we only corrected the three first questions because the others are your opinion and we didn't have time.

EXPOSICIÓN DE PERIÓDICOS

EXPOSICIÓN DE ARTÍCULOS PERIODÍSTICOS

A lo largo de este trimestre los Viernes los alumnos de la clase que lo deseen podran exponer y opinar sobre la noticia que elijan (siempre y cuando tenga algo que ver con Ética) ya sea en español, Inglés o ambos idiomas.


La primera persona en exponer su noticia fué María García. 
En la exposición de su noticia habló sobre la situación en la que se encuantran las mujeres de Arabia y su intervencion en la guerra así como el machismo que se da en esos paises (por ejemplo hacer que las mujeres lleven velo). Al final concluyó la exposición con una opinión en inglés. Este tema fue muy debatido entre los alumnos de la clase.


La siguiente en exponer fué Fee, que expuso toda la noticia en inglés.
Fee habló sobre las guerras liberalistas de los países Árabes, Gadafy y la situación en Libia. Esta exposición nos resultó un poco más dificil de entender por el hecho de ser en inglé, pero fue bastnte interesante y tambien debatimos sobre ella.

El último de este día en exponer fue Jose antonio. Habló de las células madre que habián conseguido salvar la vida de un niño, y los avances tan beneficiosos que hemos conseguido en la actualidad.
La verdad esque no nos pudimos enterar bien de la noticia porque el profesor no dejaba de interrumpir a Jose Antonio, para que acabara y porque él no lo entontraba ninguna relación con la ética. Finalmente el tema se desplazó hacia las celulas madre y la iglesia, que piensa ¿está bien que para salvar la vida de un ser humano tengamos que arrebatarsela a otro?

El 18 de Marzo continuamos con la exposición de los artículos del periódico, ese dia se trataron los siguientes temas:

Belén , que tenía la misma noticia que había expuesto María la vez anterior (pero Atonio dijo que no importaba) explicó de nuevo el tema y dio su opinion, el tema volvio a crear un debate aún mayor que la vez anterior en la que casi toda la clase aportó opiniones.

Claudia nos habló sobre un tema  que también causó mucha polémica entre los alumnnos.
Su noticia se titulaba La generación XXX , niños atrapados por el sexo y hablaba de que los niño cada vez con menor edad, pierden la virginidad, se meten en paginas pornográficas...
La exposición terminó con una abalancha de manos levantadas para conta experiencias o dar opiniones.

Por último, Isabel Muñoz nos comentó la horrible catastrofe ocurrida en Japón. Nos habló del  efecto que está produciendo el ser humano  en el planeta en el que habita contraponiendo  el tiempo que lleva aquí el ser humano y los  millones y millones de años que tiene la Tierra.
Tambíen habló de si realmente son seguras las  centrales nucleares poniendo el ejemplo de la central nuclear de Japón y dio su opinion sobre estos temas.

Como ningún Viernes nos daba tiempo a hacer nada más salvo las exposiciones, Antonio llegó a la conclusión de que solo expondría una persona por Viernes.
