                                                  Endangered Species.

                  There are many threats to the environment in our times but one of them that don’t get much attention is one of the most importants, I’m talking about endangered species.

                  Endangered species is a huge trouble that we need to resolve. The term “Endangered Species” is used when a species which has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List as likely to become extinct, so we used that term when we talk about a species that is about to disappear.  When a species is at the gates of extinction is usually caused by human action such as overexploitation, habitat loss, illegal hunting and many more. Nations have laws to protect conservation reliant species for example: forbidding hunting, restricting land use and creating special preserves for natural wild life but sadly that’s not enough, the last IUCN report published that a total of 71,576 species are in danger. We have way to many animals walking on the edge of extinction and that’s something we can’t allow.

                People are usually unaware of how important are these animals for the world. There are many consequences if one of these species goes extinct, in fact it makes a huge difference in global impact. Each of those creatures are part of a bigger system that needs balance, If one part of the system is removed the system is no longer in balance, what happen to the prey if the predator becomes extinct? , well the population of the prey growns without control and that could threaten other forms of life in the ecosystem, With one species gone, the environment  must find a new balance and repair itself, or others species will fail as well.  Besides the global threat it is important to preserve these species safe and take care of them because our planet is a better place with them. Every single animal is important for the environment losing one of them contributes to the unraveling of our planet's sustainability, and that makes a difference to every single one of us.

       It’s not a secret that our health system is far from been perfect, but  it can’t be denied that  we have a organized health insurance system.

      Chile has a really organized health system. Our country utilizes a dual health care system, offering public care through the National Health Insurance Fund, or private care by private insurance companies.  There are four ways to pay for medical care: particular is when you choose where you want to go but with your own money, Fonasa which is the public health insurance system, Isapres  is the private health insurance system and Auge, that’s when the government pays for medical problems for free as long as you have a Fonasa or Isapres. The health institutions in our country are very organized.

        In our country there are two different types of hospitals and clinics for care, depending of the type of health insurance that you have, you can go to a private or a public institution for out-patient care . When you go to see the doctor you have the chance to either pay when you see the doctor or go to your insurance company and get a bono, you can go to most clinics with Fonasa or Isapres, which hospital you can go depends of your insurance.  You can go either one of these two options with your insurance plan.

         There are three ways to see a doctor in Chile,  you can go to your insurance company and pay a copayment and you will receive a ticket (or voucher), then you give that to the doctor for reimbursement from your insurance company. The other way is going to the institution you chose and they will read your thumbprint and mach that with your insurance company and see your copayment. The last way to pay is to pay in cash and after go for reimbursement to your insurance institution. You can pick any of those ways to pay according to which health insurance you have. 

              

         In Chile we have a very organized system for health, is not perfect and it has many failures but if we can say something good about it is how we have a very ordered system with multiple choices and accessibility for people3.

                                                  Important things in friendship.

                      The people we allow in our lives play and important role so we not allow everyone to be so close and that important, so, how we know that person is really a friend? It depends, but for me there are some qualities worth of a friendship. First of all, when we start a friendship we are looking to find a person with similar tastes and behavior then we start to develop a more solid understanding of the other person, finding things that at first we don´t notice, things that maybe are not “ok” with you, so start a friendship requires to accept the other by who he really is, that´s the only way to form a bond with someone. You need to accept the other behavior specially if that person see things in a different way. Also, one the most important things to find in a friend is the ability to have fun together, there´s no logic reason to hang out with someone that makes you feel depressed. It´s important that you are able to have a great time when you hang out with your friends, that way you are able to make a strong bond between both by sharing memories, be able to do different activities, talk about anything, or simply find more trust in the other person. So, you have to be able to have fun with your friends.

                    To form a strong friendship you need trust, like any other relationship, you have to be able to communicate with your friend and feel you can tell them anything if you have troubles, that way you can help each other and stand up to your friends. You need to trust in this people, that´s why they are your friends and know you can find help in them. There’s no logical reason to be friend with someone you dislike or you just simple have no trust in that person. So, to develop a strong friendship with anyone that it’s an important step you have to consider.
