GOOGLE ONE THE BEST OFFICE IN THE WORLD

One of the best offices of the world is Google not only by the information capacity that it has, but by the benefits that offer all workers, nevertheless although these offices fulfil all the requirements so that the people render in their work, can not to be possible to have an office like this in Colombia.

First, is important to say that the people need an atmosphere full work of spaces where they are possible to be relaxed, since these favour to that the workers do their work better. the best example of this type of offices the company Google, since even though that their workers realise their workings the suitable time, they have spaces like spa to relax, have the best restaurants with all the types of meals, furthermore can make any type of activity in their free time in the office like sleeping, watching, to play with their mascots. This demonstrated that with all these benefits the workers carry out better their work.

On to other hand, offices like these with all the benefits for the workers only can exist in places where the people really are responsible and workers, this demonstrated that the Colombians are people workers and responsible while they have constantly somebody watches them. If to the majority of Colombians think that this is a game offers them all these benefits of the offices of Google and not a work. Also it is important to say that the people can not distribute their time in realising their work and spending their time free relaxing.

In conclusion, the offices of Google have in atmosphere that all the dumb one wants to have in its works, but they needed responsible people and worker people, so that these can work of the best way, is by whom in Colombia an office like this can not to be best option.

A GOOD OPTION FOR NEXT SATURDAY …

We, like medicine students do not have many time during the week to program English classes from Monday to Friday, because our career require us ten hour of practice with the patients in the hospitals and the other hours we are studying, for this reason we have to spend four hours on Saturday morning to learn English. Therefore, the Saturday is a good day to study but next Saturday could be a good opportunity to relax us.

Firstly, is important to say that week by week our career exposes us to a constant evaluation because medicine is a science that works with human lives. Despite this we need a weekend to rest and start again our periods of evaluation. We have to take in to account that the time in the week to sleep and spend time in our hobbies is very short and usually on weekend. Also on October 31st, many of us are going to assist to Halloween parties because is a good opportunity to fun good moments with our friends, for that reason is difficult to arrive to university in good conditions like have arrived all Saturdays.

On the other hand we spend only four hours in the week to improve our English and lose one Saturday is losing an opportunity to practice the idiom because we need a lot of exercises that never do in our home to acquire a good level. Also the university has established a number of hours in each class and both, the teacher and the students must to be responsible with that. An important detail is that the university has only seven levels of English and we are near to Toefl so an hour lost is less time to preparation.

In conclusion, Saturday is a good day to study but we think that November 1st could be a good opportunity to enjoy because we can prepare our exams, we can relax and also we can go to a party without the pressure of English class. Also the benefits are to the teacher too because he can share time with his family or do other activities and he won’t have the necessity to give his work to another person. Is a very good option that the next Saturday we won’t have classes because ALL of us can spend our time without preoccupations.

CULTURAL SCHOK

All change constantly and when the person didn’t have a good actualization in a good time they suffer a cultural shock that it is a shock between the new styles lives and the old, even though that every thing has a change, there are things that really influence in the dearly life of the people like the music, the fashion and the technology.

First, when my grandmother life, or when my mother was young used to listen music like “troba cubana” or protest music and the popular songs was a singers or groups that in this moment is remember like the best in this age., but in ours days exist many types and different styles of music for example rockpop, reggeton, heavy metal and electronic music and the cultural shock between ours generation with old generation have a big contrast for example my parents think that the electronic music is all the time the same song and they say that the letter of this music didn’t have several meaning.

Another point is the fashion, nevertheless there are investigations that demonstrate that the fashion comes change cyclical for example in the 60´s the women used to dress tube jeans with dresses and long blouses of many colors that they complement with belts to the waist. In ours days the women use the same clothing with a little changes for example in the types of colors or the materials of the clothes.

All in all, the cultural shock is the felling that the people have when change things like the fashion or the music in the culture and the people don’t have a significant actualization, but the most important point is when the person suffer this felling they do the necessary to change this and they can learn the new culture and the new lifestyles.
