Introduction The goal of this report is to inform the experience working at the Italian Cultural Institute in New York, to help with recommendations to others who need it. My work experience During my six weeks  working at the Italian Cultural Institute in New York I was assigned to work on the improvement of the institute in the position of cultural advisor. a)      Location The cultural institute is located in Brooklyn, very close to the river. The establishment is very nice and has good access to get there by car, but public transport is also a good option as there is a stop right outside the cultural institute. b)       Working hours During my stay, I had a schedule from Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm, it was very nice to work on those schedules as I had plenty of time to go out with friends or get to know the city. However, I do not know if all positions have the same schedules, so I recommend asking the employer. c)   ...

Most teenagers are online too much. During these times, when no one can live disconnected, adolescents can face a phenomenon related to the extreme use of technological devices. In this sense, its use can have negative and positive effects, on the one hand, it is easier the connection between the peers and a greater knowledge. On the other hand, its negative effects are related to situations of bullying, depression and physical problems. With this, I do not want to sound like a person who hates technology, on the contrary, I think there is a consensus on how well it has done us since there are devices that are able to help us a lot in the day to day, however, we must be responsible with their use.  Among the positive effects, the use of the internet implies a greater connection with others, which is very useful in situations such as the one we are currently experiencing given the health crisis that we are living today. In this sense, thanks to their high connection, teens can help ...

Question: It has been said by various social commentators over the ages, among them Dostoyevsky, that how civilized a country is can be measured by how it treats its inmates or those in prison. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this idea? Torture, mistreatment, abuse, and squalid and dangerous conditions are considered to be signs of barbarity by many people. I am one of these people. I believe that when these negative social conditions and actions are manifested in a society, they signal that something is amiss with that society. I will explain my reasons for this. Those who are most prone to be mistreated, tortured, or held in terrible conditions are prisoners. I am not arguing for some kind of limitless leniency. I am not saying that criminals aren’t problematic and that they don’t deserve punishment. Crime and insecurity are social ills; it is a terrible experience to be the victim of a crime—especially a violent one. Nevertheless, I am arguing for a rational and firm wa...

Write two paragraphs that present pro and contra arguments in response to this question: There is a growing trend to see obesity as a public health problem that requires state intervention while some people feel that this is a personal issue that should be resolved accordingly. How do you see this? Obesity can affect people aroun d the predisposition to other diseases such as diabetes or heart problems. There is a trend that believes that the State should take care of this health problem as it precedes other problems that are of importance for the health of people. In this sense, the state should encourage good self-care practices in both food and exercise, but because of the free market system, companies can sell anything at the cost of making money, such as fast food chains, which do not measure the negative effects that the sale of their products may have. On the other hand, obesity can also be seen as personal or private as this condition can be associated with psychological elemen...

a. “Chilean education” In Chile, education is very unequal. In this country there are has 4 main types of schools: municipal, private subsidized, private and technical, so the access to education depends on your ability to pay. The problem is these four types of school don’t give the same educational quality. Specifically, students who went to private schools are more likely to go to university than those who didn’t go because, in Chile, access to university is measure by a standardized test call PSU (Prueba de Selección Universitaria or university selection test). We know that chilean education is unequal, but why is this so important? Because it generates the class reproduction, that is, the poor will continue to be poor and the rich will continue to be rich. b. "Immigration in Chile" During the last time, Chile has had high percentages of immigration from Haiti and Venezuela, and that is positive for our knowledge of the cultural diversity but not everyone has take...
