What makes it harder?

I think that the way you get a self-sufficient lifestyle can make it harder or easier, if from one day to another you become independent is something that will be very difficult, would be easier to first try to mature a little, get a job, and after that independence

In your opinion, what are the most important aspects a couple must consider before getting married?

Well first of all, the couple must love each other a hundred percent. must rely heavily on their own. I believe that making a prenup is to kill the love relationship. but if the couple decides to do so, should not see it as something wrong, but accept it and live normal lives

Costa Rica CO2 Neutral

Costa Rica is a country that is also making its mark on what has climate change concerns, but not doing it a negative, but is helping the global environment and giving example to other nations.
But first of all, what means to be CO2 neutral?
Being carbon neutral is a global trend that seeks to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and in this sense, involves both decrease and compensate. It try to remove as much emissions as we added
What is doing costa rica to become CO2 neutral?
With the presidential sash on his chest, Oscar Arias said: "Our aim is that the name of Costa Rica to become synonymous with fundamental values of humanity: the love of peace and love for nature. That will be our hallmark as a country. That will be our calling card to the world
With this sentence Mr Oscar Arias (costa rican former president) declared peace with nature and committed to fighting environmental degradation processes.
Eighty companies pledged to be part of the carbon neutrality of Costa Rica. what is done with this project is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from private and public companies in our country, although Costa Rica does not generate a large impact on global pollution is important that this be done and let other countries take the example necessary.
And who knows? perhaps cities like Mexico City, tokyo, new york, implement this project and our world change.

Identity Theft


Identity theft
First of all, Identity theft is a form of fraud in which someone pretends to be someone else by assuming that person's identity, typically in order to access resources or obtain credit and other benefits in that person's name. The victim of identity theft can suffer adverse consequences if he or she is held accountable for the perpetrator's actions. People should be more preventive when they go to the ATM or when the shop online, because it’s really easy to steal personal information by spyware and other stuff.

World Languages!


World Languages
Well, As it say, English is the world language, and that is a really good thing, cause maybe if you´ll go to Israel, to brazil, to the middle east, and you don’t know how to speak Portuguese, Hebrew, aramean, Russian, or other kind of languages, people will be able to speak English, and then you can communicate to them in that language.
I don’t think that there are any disadvantages of this world language, I guess that the only one, is that in a future we are going to be “Americanized” and maybe countries over the world will lose part of it culture. But there are more good aspects than the opposite.
I think that Mandarin will, and should be in a future a “World Language”, cause in the biggest population on earth is in China, and they speak that language; maybe Spanish would be in a future a world language.
