First let me start with the definition of Human Rights: " A right which is believed to belong to every person".
Every person means from new born to old.
The  Human Rights investigators have decided that the Institutes for children in Japan don't prepare the children for life when they leave from the various institutes. Thousands of children are taken away from their families when the people of  social security in Japan they think that the parents can't look after the children.


Human Right want that Japan changes the system of the Institutes to prepare these children for life outside of Institutes.  


I don't know if the situation is different here in Spain but I hope that it is different to Japan.
An individual can't changes the situation but a world wide organization has more possibilities to make the changes for example an organization like ONU or OTAN.

Package holiday boom's deadly legacy: Huge rise in skin cancer cases since 1970s blamed on sunshine getaways



This article explains that in the past 40 years cases of skin cancer have rise by 7 times.
It also tells us that 13000 people per year suffer from malignant melanoma. 
Now skin cancer is the fifth highest cancer in the world specially in women of 20 years old. 
Experts think that the fashion of package holiday of the years 60-70 they have the blame.

This cancer can start if one time when you are young and you burn and appeares later in life. If we continue with the obsession that we are brown the numers of people with this cancer will rise.  

It also mentions that sunbeds are very dangerous for this type of cancer because exaggerate the obsession of sunbathing .
Cancer Research UK think that by 2027 the numbers of this cancer increase from 13000 to 20000.
Every year 2000 people die of skin cancer in U.K.  

In my opinion this article is very important  and I believe that this article should be read all over the world. It is true that when summer arrives  everyone wants a suntan and a lot of times people do not think the consequences.  
Is very important to put suncream every time  when you sunbathe.



Cases of skin cancer have soared seven-fold, research shows, with many of those being diagnosed suffering cancer-causing sun burn in their youth (library image) 



                                                                  13,000 people every year develop a deadly malignant melanoma, pictured, which is expected to surge to 20,000 annually by 2027. In 1975, the figure was just 1,800

1st MAY 2014


Yesterday, my parents and my brother and I spent all day in “Cadaqués” because I had a football match at six o’clock in the afternoon, so we made the most the sunny day to go to the beach in “Port Lligat”. There,  Sergi and I did the first practice of spearfishing of the year and it couldn’t have started better. I caught five fishes with my new weapon which was brought by the three magic kings.

Furthermore, we made a small boat with some wood and fishing line that we found on the same beach. I would like to tell you that this invention floated and it went inwards to the sea.
We arrived at the beach at eleven o’clock and we left there at quarter past four, due to the fact that I had to be at the football ground at half past four.

Then my team was coming and when they arrived we started to train and finally we played the match. The final result was “Cadaqués”, zero and “Esplais”, seven.


In conclusion, it was a fantastic day and I would like repeat it again, because on one hand we fished some beautiful fishes and on the other hand we won the match with a big difference.

THREE HOURS OF RESISTENCE IN PERALADA



Some weeks ago, on 14th April, in the village of Peralada, the first race of resistance of ACCEMA, Championship took place. This race consisted in doing the maximum laps which were possible during three hours. The team that did more laps was the winner. To participate in this race you could ride alone or with a partner, so I rode with a friend called Tete Fort.

Firstly, there were timed workouts which lasted around an hour and I did the second best lap. After that, I and Tete made our strategy; it consisted in riding more or less, 30 minutes each one and to warn to change we had to make a special signal. Secondly, there was the big race. We didn’t have a good start and we had to remount. Every hour our position was improving, but the track was very hard and difficult because there were a lot of stones and dust.


Finally, we finished sixth and although our hands and arms were aching, we had really enjoyed the race.

Primary school boy just nine begs NHS to help him kick his SMOKING habit after he became addicted from trying one at school


This article is about children and smoking. A boy of 9 years old called a medical help line to ask for help to stop smoking. The boy of Shropshire became addicted after smoking in school.
The experts know that under-age smokers will have terible health problems. 

Smoking in the young people is very popular because they think that it is "cool" but after they became addicts. Many have problems with pressure from friends. 

What is new is that a boy of only 9 years old called the help line. 

In my opinion I think that smoking is stupid. I don't understand why people start to smoke. Smoking is dangerousfor the health and is very expensive. 


Addicted: The nine-year-old (not pictured) called an NHS smoking hotline after he realised the habit was damaging his health


seek.
warning.
closely.

EVERY THING YOU DOWNLOAD ONLINE SHOULLD HAVE A TAX



Nowadays there is a discussion between the people who download something online on Internet and the authors of these downloads.

The reason of that is if the things which we are downloading online should have a tax or not.
I understand and I know the author’s opinion about this tax in anything which is downloaded online. I don’t agree with it, on one hand because I do these actions and on the other hand, I’m not the author. I think that if these things are on Internet although they know the different programmes to do download; it’s for a reason, isn’t it?

Another main reason in my point of view is the download of a specific music thing, for example a one song, so I won’t buy the CD if I only like one song.


Finally, these actions can’t be controlled, because in my opinion there always will be some programme or a way to download online something for free.

Freedom of Expression:


Expression through music, dance, art, how we dress, how we behave. If we don't disturb other people why can't we express our personality how we want ? Society dictates how we should behave, however this isn't correct. Each person is different, if is different clothes, piercings, tattoos, different hair style, dancing, singing... why not?


The freedom of expression is accepted in most of Europe and America, Australia and New Zealand but the problem is with countries where the most important is religion.

Spain Corruption
PT Box 9143
Madrid
WOT BTAX


Dear Mr. Mariano Rajoy,

We are writing to express: Our insatisfaction about the current political system.

Too many reasons have brought us to think that in Spain there are a lot of human rights which are being shameelessly violeted.

To begin with the violation of human rights the most important is eviction, which causes that a lot of families are without shelter (to life) and moreover an other human right whic is violeted is Corruption. 

I look forward to being able to see some changes. 

Your sincerely.
