File Sharing



Most people have an idea of what file sharing is, but they are not exactly sure why it's such a big deal.File sharing has become a very large issue today in society even though it has existed for decades. It has been the recent advances in our technology that has made it main stream and in the eyes of the general public. A number of studies have found that file sharing has a negative impact on record sales. Recently in the U.S the music industry has taken legal action against people who had sharing program to exchange music file online to no pay.


Piracy of the Media

When we think of pirates, we see scruffy men with unshaven chins, a bandana, a gold earing, a black patch on one eye, and a wooden leg, men with guns in hand, riding the seas in their wooden ship proudly flying the terrifying skull and crossbones. Well, pirates these days look much different. In fact, you may be sitting by one right now. They are ordinary people who have come to enjoy the technologies the Internet provides. These pirates are boys and girls, women and men, who habitually root themselves in their desk chairs with eyes fixed on the computer screen. But today's pirates have something in common with the pirates of days lost in history. Both steal what doesn't belong to them. Today's pirates sail the Internet on the prowl for a treasure chest of downloadable files.

Internet File Sharing and the Music Industry

Imagine millions of songs accessible in one place. Today songs are just a few clicks away since the introduction of the internet and file sharing. File sharing is simply taking a file and allowing other internet users to download and use the file permanently. The accessibility and use of file sharing programs has devastated the music industry financially. The fact that almost every song recorded today is accessible through a free program encourages most consumers to download rather than buy. This is why illegal file sharing programs are driving the music industry’s profits down.

What Should Be Done?

Copyright owners should be able to protect their intellectual property against digital theft. There have already been a number of lawsuits against heavy users of P2P systems. These lawsuits can and should be pursued vigorously. Existing laws also provide remedies for those who contribute to infringement, such as P2P operators--although there is considerable litigation about how and when such contributory liability can be triggere.


Conclusion:

We think that making copyrighted material instantly available to the world without the owner's permission is stealing, but in the other hand we stronlgy believe that downloading and sharing music without purposes of profit is not illegal . The challenge for policymakers is to curtail this theft of intellectual property without limiting legitimate activity or disturbing technological innovation through regulation

The Truth Commission

Introduction
The truth commission was based in order to protect human rights and besides working with the government helps our society to confront terrorism cases, those have happened many years ago. We present different points of view about truth commission's work.


First of all, that we have in mind is that the truth commission has a good strategy to decrease the abuse that had happened to our society. Without a doubt, it helps women to defend their rights.
We strongly believe that if the truth commission works with the government, They'll do a complete investigation to have some proofs to accuse people of terrorism.

For example our classmate said she was conviced that the truth commission was a terrible idea because this organization not always respect human rights and in other cases this commission agrees with terrorists and doesn't defent the soldiers who gave their lives for our country.

But most of us think truth commission has a very important mission with women rights related who have been raped during wars. Without a doubt, since starting a combat, women suffer from sexual harrassment or sexual violent.
That is determined by others crimes for example; raping and prostitution.To give and idea: in 2001, three police officers were taken to court for masive violation and sexual harrassment.

To conclude; although we have different opinions we believe that the truth commission's assistance during wars helped women a lot, because it recognized the factors and cracked down on soldiers who had committed sexual abuses.

GENDER DIFFERENCES IN LANGUAGE

Introduccion
As we can see, different ways that men and women use language have long been of interest in the study of discourse. Despite extensive theorizing, actual empirical investigations have yet to converge on a coherent picture of gender differences in language

RESEARCH
Researchers from Northwestern University show both that areas of the brain associated with language work harder in girls than in boys during language task।

DIFFERENCES IN LANGUAGE USE
Physical orientation: Women use eye contact and men avoid it.
Status and connection: Women talk for solidarity and men talk for status.
Directness and Indirectness: Women go from discussion to decision and men from decision to discussion।

CONCLUSION
To conclude, it is undeniable that there are many differences in the way that male and female communicate, differences that sometimes lead to misunderstandings. That's why we should be aware that to know these differences enable us to avoid communication breakdown and to build happier, healthier relationships.

LANGUAGE LEARNING SURVEY

LANGUAGE LEARNING SURVEY
Introduction
This report describes the different ways to practice english because most of the students doesn’t practice in the same way. We did a survey with our classmates about the different parts of learning like speaking, vocabulary, grammar and listening.
SPEAKING
It’s clear that 85% of persons in Lima study other language to develop a career and to have the opportunity to travel abroad; this percentage represents how many people have to improve a language. In some circumstances because we are not native speakers, we have to polish studying in institutes, going to group of conversation and try to read some books. But I think the best way to have a good pronunciation is to travel to the country and stay there for a year.
VOCABULARY
I’m conviced that vocabulary is an important part of learning because hepls you to have fluency in your expressions and improve the comprehension.take, for example Most of the students, when read magazines, find words that are unknown for them so they don’t understand the main idea of the article. In my opinion we have to use all the resources that icpna offers to us and practice with exercise on the internet.
GRAMMAR
Grammar is important because it is the language that makes it possible for us to talk about language। Grammar names the types of words and word groups that make up sentences not only in English but in any language। As human beings, we can put sentences together even as children--we can all do grammar. But to be able to talk about how sentences are built, about the types of words and word groups that make up sentences--that is knowing about grammar. And knowing about grammar offers a window into the human mind and into our amazingly complex mental capacity.People associate grammar with errors and correctness. But knowing about grammar also helps us understand what makes sentences and paragraphs clear and interesting and precise. Grammar can be part of literature discussions, when we and our students closely read the sentences in poetry and stories. And knowing about grammar means finding out that all languages and all dialects follow grammatical patterns.

LISTENING
Listening is a very important skill so it required a lot of practice. Also I can define it like the absorption of the meanings of words and sentences by the brain. Listening leads to the understanding of facts and ideas. But listening takes attention, or sticking to the task at hand in spite of distractions. It requires concentration, which is the focusing of your thoughts upon one particular problem. A person who incorporates listening with concentration is actively listening.
Active listening is a method of responding to another that encourages communication.

CONCLUSION

In coclusion, we are conviced that students use many resources to improve their skills in the language। And they are more interested in speak fluent and try to not make any mistake when they write an essay or something similar.
