Is There a Formula to Get a Job?

Finding a job relatively sounds easy, however, when we think of finding a well-paid job is not as easy as we expect. Due to the fact that Mexican people are not well- prepared and just a few of the population achieves a university education, that is even worse the fact that people find more difficult getting a good job, which is the backbone to support families. But, what are the things that trigger to live in such a situation?

One of the things that is necessary to bear in mind is education. Education might be the clue to have a better lifestyle. I dare to say that government should focus on investing more money in schools and universities. Through this, more people would have the opportunity to study in order to be well prepared and get a better job because the better prepared you are, the more probabilities you have to succeed.

Nowadays, there are more adolescents who drop school because they have to work and pay for their expenses, or even worse, to start working to support a new family. Consequently, this fact makers them accept whatever sort of job because they did not even finish high school.

It is true that tons of factors are involved to analyze unemployment and the one which we must not leave behind is crime. As youth people do not have the opportunity to study, due to the fact that government cannot support them, they decide to earn money in an easy way: stealing things and committing crimes. If we think deeper, most of the times youth people prefer to spend their time in a way which is not constructively to them. Something that government should take into account to halt the problem, if that were to happen, crime would considerably decrease.

Whilst in Mexico people have to deal with the concern that daily life implies getting a job and feeding their families at the same time, in other countries as the United States, government gives unemployed people support meanwhile they find a new job. Obviously, there is a huge difference between a country with such a financial stability.

Summing up, unemployment is a topic which could have a lot of factors to be explained, however, the most suitable solution it is to offer more educational strategies. The result of having more well- prepared people surrounding would have a great impact in our way of thinking to be a powerful country.

Tidal Power

It has been presented a new alternative source for generating electrical energy whose dams have certain similarities in hydroelectric power plants. However, despite of the advantages that this new source establishes, it has been pointed out some factors which seem to carry withdraw effects.

Firstly, it is mentioned that through the usage of tidal power there exists an environmental impact which affects the local wildlife. In other words, as the quality of water is changed, the amount of sediments affects all aquatic creatures whose habitat is destroyed.

On the other hand, fish which migrate are nor allowed to pass the barrage used, even though, it can be a provision to make them move, the expenses considerably increase. At the same time, it is considered that using this sort of power, people would be affected somehow. In this sense, fishing bouts would not be able to navigate, factor that also affects the economy of the region.

The points mentioned before are aspects which must be taken into account in order to have a better criterion in its usage and aspects that can be changed to get a new and beneficial source of energy.

Origin of Life

The origin of life in our planet is still unknown to us, even though, researchers have been looking for many reasons to explain how life started millions of years ago. Stanley Miller, a graduate student at University of Chicago, made an experiment which intended to explain the origin of life. Miller did this experiment using factors which were adopted as they happened in the origin of earth. However, there exist unknown aspects which did not explain how the first cell was developed to trigger life in the earth.

Although the results of the experiments seemed to be determined, scientifics claimed there are aspects that were wrongly implemented in such experiment. For instance, the continuous electrical storms were not as frequent as they were in the origin of earth because they were more frequent in the experiment than they really were. At the same time, there was lack of oxygen in the experiment according to the amount of oxygen that the origin earth contained, having the impression that the simulated gases were false. Moreover, in Miller’s experiment amino acids were not found. It is believed that meteorites contained them and when they hit the surface, their organic compounds scaped from them starting the origin of life.

Many judgments have raised from this experiment; however, it is still a mystery to everybody to know how the cell that gave life was reorganized into a living structure in the planet.
