A short monologue.Talk about the handling of personal data by governments. It is a well-known fact that with the incredibly increasing amount of multimedia devices and their connectivity, it is becoming easier for the governments to monitor society. It should be highlighted that privacy is a fundamental right for everybody, however governments have used national security as an excuse to breach our rights ,in a broad sense ,they believe that retaining privacy, both from corporate entities and governments, is a great deal less important than the fight against terrorism. It should be mentioned that Big Data is turning the government into Big Brother. We are used to being connected, every computer, tablet, smartphone, and now even TV's are connected through the World Wide Web. With this increased connectivity, the government has the ability to monitor all of its citizens' internet activity, easily, without difficulty. Added to that, there is too much data gathering and storage. With the advent of technology, it seemed like a wonderful thing to have access to so much data about ourselves, each other, and the world. However, we have to realize that everyone else has it, too, and that includes those in governments, companies and criminal organizations. There is far too much information being collected and we have no idea where or how it is being stored or for what purpose. Other point of view that should be taken into account is that, as some human rights organizations claim, the government should not be able to look, or tape o record, at private things of people. They only are allowed to look at people´s private data if someone have a criminal history or is under suspicion but then only under a court order to do so. Other than that we have a right to privacy. On the other hand, if you are following the law there is nothing to hide. Some people say that it is big brother coming to the real world. Though, other people think that this is perfectly fine, the government needs to know who might be doing illegal activities so they can look as much as they like as long as they tell no one. All this upsetting facts force us to change the topic; we will not argue on the necessity to have privacy as a right, we all agree we need the right to privacy. We should talk about the implications of what the government is doing with our personal data. In spite of they have no right to collect them; they are doing it so as a matter of fact we should address the issue instead of having useless debates about rights

a little speech about bullying Bullying which is any form of psychological, verbal or physical abuse occurred between schoolchildren repeatedly over a period of time both in the classroom and through social networks, called cyber bullying then, has been raising lately in an alarming proportion and measures against it must be taken. It should be highlighted that this kind of behaviour must be cut or treated as soon as possible because of it may be the seed for future criminal actions, if the kid is not lead to the right side, he or she can fall in a down spiral whit terrible consequences. It must be pointed out that the only reason bullies roam free in the school hallways is that witness of the bullying are too afraid to tell it to a trusted adult, and the bully feels like he is invisible and he still bullies other kids; so the actions to address the problem should be taken jointly by all parties, students, teachers and parents. Among the measures against it, there are 2 main strategies that must be put in practice. The first one is re-education, where professionals, such as psychologists, social workers etc, can help victims of bullying and teach them how to deal with it. It can also help the bullies to deal with problems they have, whether are their emotions or having family troubles , it is a well-known fact that the environment at home can leads to negative attitudes and anger which the children take out on weaker mates. Re-education can help students to understand what is happening to them, and why bullies are bullying as well. The 2nd strategy is obviously; punishment, bullying and others petty crimes associated to young offenders must be punished in so far as the seriousness of the facts. If we were talking of little acts of vandalism, they should fix them, for instance cleaning the walls where they draw a graffiti or fixing street furniture. Bigger crimes, bigger punishment, and even in the worst crimes they should be taken to court and be judge as adults. It seems clear from all these ideas that we must fight bullying with all our resources because we will have not only better schoolchildren but also better citizens

E-learning. Pros and cons E-learning, an internet-based teaching system, seems to have a bright future because is consider the teaching tool of the XXI century, it promises to bring down space-time barriers and be available for everybody. It should be highlighted that using the internet, students can have access to more information and knowledgeable teachers which will enable each student to get a more specialized learning experience tailored for them, furthermore, Online learning allows self-paced absorption and allows the virtual instructor to uncover strengths and weaknesses. Another point that should be mentioned is that students would not have to bear the expense or time of travel, but would have the convenience of studying from their homes. In addition, taking online courses could be the unique option for busy lifestyles such as young people who are training athletes, or have special needs, or have been bullied at school, then this type of learning would fit better into their lives. On the other hand, it must be pointed out that he most important disadvantage of e-learning is the lack of social interaction, what happens in the class are the social and networking opportunities that are missing from the online learning experience, moreover, in classroom, students not only learning the subjects but also learning the discipline, leadership, managing, friendship, attitude, talking in public. Another question that should be taken into account is that online education does not engage students to the same degree as classroom learning, which could lead to many student to skip classes; Peer pressure plays positive role in traditional classrooms. On the whole, the rise of online and virtual education is to give people more options, and it will provide more sources to enhance education but there just are some subjects that cannot be properly taught without physical interaction, which would lead us to mixed or hybrid methods of learning.

Home-schooling. Pros and cons Home-schooling, to teach your children at home instead of sending them to a school, has been rising lately and is getting a lot of supporters that claim their right to teach their children; but Do they have this right? and Is it as beneficial as they claim? It should be highlighted that homeschoolers perform better than students from public schools. In 2009 the effective of home-schooling was researched. It measured how well homeschoolers performed relative to the public school students on the basic skills: an average of 30% better. The most important advantage of home-schooling that should be mention is the possibility to adapt based on the strengths and weaknesses of the student. If a student is learning something fast it is easily possible to move on earlier. If a student is struggling with a topic it is easily possible to spend more time on that topic to make sure the student really understands it. On the other hand, it should be clarified that there is a crucial component to public schooling that home-schooling could not even begin to address. That is social development. School is also the place where kids meet strangers, learn to converse with peers, develop a moral and ethical character, and learn how to navigate through society at large. It should be explain that home-schooling depends on familial wealth and could be unfair; The public school allows for all students to be given a fair and equal opportunity at learning what everyone else has to learn: they are given the same holistic experience. Home-schooling seems to have advantages over the public school system, but it can cause a gap in academic performance between the rich and the poor; so the educational system has to ensure fair opportunities for everybody.

TALK ABOUT THE PROS AND CONS OF “INTENSIVE FARMING” MASS OPPOSED TO “ORGANIC FARMING”. It should be mentioned that in recent years more and more farmers are growing organic food and many people are getting used to choosing it instead of traditional food, although organic food might not be more nutritious, many people believe that growing organic food without chemicals and pesticides is healthier and better for our health and our planet. However it has to be reminded that intensive farming has a lot of advantages compared to organic farming, mainly concerning to economic aspects, for example, this kind of farming produces far more meat and vegetables than organic farms, so that, the final products can be sold for lower prices. Because of that, the companies which are based on organic farming are nowhere near as competitive as the intensive farming on the markets, since the cost of the food is an important factor nowadays. Citizens are not bound to buy extremely expensive organic products when many of them have to struggling to make ends meet. Another important advantage of intensive farming is that it does not require a huge space because it keeps animals indoors in restricted spaces, so the less land is needed the more profitable a farm is. Nevertheless it must be clarified that the quality of the products which are made by intensive farming is not high at all. The use of chemical pesticides, herbicides or fertilisers among other has a negative impact on the products, and as a consequence of that, eating these kind of products can be negative for consumers’ health in the long term. On the contrary, organic food containing no chemical residue and it is more sustainable in terms of the environmental impact. Moreover organic farming tends to be seen as the most ethical way to produce food since the animals are treated better, they are outdoors and feeding naturally. Taking everything into account, it has to be made clear that it is important to be aware of the unwelcome side effects of intensive farming. It is harmful not only to our health but also to animals and environments, so we should consider organic farms as a very positive alternative which contributes to a sustainable development.

Ways to promote your business( it´s a monologue) 2 parts, 1st one Getting a business off the ground is a major challenge for entrepreneurs, so advertising is a crucial stage; however which kind of advertising is recommendable? To start with, it should be reminded that it is a well-known fact that people are more likely to go place or buy products they have heard of, therefore traditional ways of advertising such as TV adverts, newspaper adverts, radio campaigns or billboards are essential to promote your business in such a way that you cannot avoid them in order to shot up your sales and boost your income. It must be pointed out that the traditional ways of advertising are still more important than marketing based on IT (Information Technologies) but a great deal more expensive, this last one is rising up in importance due to the fact that it is cheaper and nowhere as fast spreading news than traditional ways. Others ways of promotion should be taken into consideration, for instance if you run a small shop or a café you can promote it using flayers or leaflets ,offering discount vouchers to your usual customers, attending trade fairs, arranging meetings to show your product and giving away samples etc. Returning to IT´s, it should not be explain that the use of the Internet as tool to promote your business is indispensable in our global world. It is a booming nitch market which allows your business to break into overseas markets. Webpages do not only allow your customer visit your virtual shop and order your products round the clock, but also round the world because they are not forced to visit your shop in business hours In this range of promotion, it should be include, obviously, social networks for instance Facebook, Instagram or Twitter where you can develop a whole publicity campaign in your own, if you are enough skilful at them, or just hiring a community manager.

Discrimation at work Discrimation at work Equality between genders is an important, achievable and laudable goal. We should all strive to eradicate prejudice and discrimination in all its forms, especial sexism. People should all work together to make sure that everyone has the same opportunities and rights as everyone else. It must be explained that assignment of gender roles began with child-rearing in pre-industrial times. The mother of the child needed to be at home in order to breastfeed the child. The father, instead, did things outside the home. The introduction of farming created a stable food supply, and the father then was able to begin to amass wealth and property. The mother, meanwhile, was still in the home, and her work brought in no money. It is this income disparity that is the root of gender inequality issues. Though we are well past the day that this was our only option for dividing labour, old habits and old thinking die hard. It should be highlighted that women do not make statistically significant less than men when comparing apples to apples (e.g. amount of time at current position, strength of company, education and work history, etc.); however, they are often passed up for employment and promotions based on sexual discrimination. Who deserves the job should get the job and women can easily earn the position rather than needing it to be reserved for them. These days, women are starting to outperform men in many employment fields and hiring should be determined only by skills, certifications, or other such factors that are pertinent to the job in question. So, in conclusion, some day it would be very nice to have gender equality, but meanwhile we should be moving, towards a stance of true equality, which mean dealing with social and legal issues. All humans should be treated equal, regardless of age, race, gender, social status, religion, or ethnicity.
