Fractional Reserve Banking System

The creation of money in the United States happene in the National Reserve Banking System. In brief words the money is created when the US government ask for money to the Reserve and in exchange they give some government bonds. Then with the money the government recieve, is send to differetn banks in order to create more money. By lending money to people and then they have to pay back with some interest. The total moeny they have just 3% is on paper and the other 97% is virtual. Almost every transaction made, is virtual.
The money that is lend by the bank is always going to be multiplied, because of the interest. But this money doesn't really exist. Because if debt doest not exist, neither the money and if money doesn't exist, debt wouldn't exist.

Delimitation in Paramo the Santurban

for several years they have tried to exploit the paramo Santurban. this week some companies have threatened to leave because of the delimitation for oil exploration in the paramo Santurbán in Santander. 

The companies say that if the definition of the ecosystem harms their interests definitely think of leaving the country. In my personal opinion this is not fair, they use this as a way to exploit oil or gold. This natural can´t be exploit for that. What they proposed the Ministry of Environment to some residents of towns like Suratá, streaks and California, is that through a model PES replaced by mining wasteland care. Santurbán became a center of national debate against mining, economic development and conservation. The government of Santander said that the economy of the populations of traditional mining area have been affected first by the decision to declare the Santurbán Regional Park and second, the plans of delimiting the Paramo.

We have to take care of the environment, now knowing we are in global warming. Destroying this will be worst.

Food Inc. Power

Last three weeks we had been studying topics that relate in different aspects: race, economic and the last week with food Inc. This today is still in our society and it is important how it impact us. How these are related topics?

Well this all end up relating with the same term: power. Everything works around power, because it is a competition in which every time people want more and more. In the Food Inc. it had the power over all the food production in the US. In the movie we watched in class it talks about a company that controls all the food production. Been really close as The Economic Hitman works. The most powerfull company "Monsanto" the farmers had defined as the evil. This company controlls the production of all food. They had made rules in the way farmers had to follow them in order to harves. One of them is they can´t have or produce their own seeds, so they had to buy them the seeds. But worst Monsanto had mess with the geneticall of the crops, making the seeds the produce the crops doesn´t work. Making the production of seeds illegal, also making them as the central power.

In terms of race the movie Food Inc. Shows how the Mexicans or the imigrants worked in places were it was not secure and any accident could happen. Also in the movie shows that the police arrested the imigrants that were working in a factory. The companies do this in order to the company pay them less and don´t have to have sacure work areas.

The Economic Hitman

We had been reading the book "The Confesions of an Economic Hitman" this book was written by John Perkins. In this book shows how the United States takes adventaje from smaller contries and by the way non developed contries. In this book shows the events from history, exposing it with the reality of what really happen.
We also saw a movie related to the book called "Zeitgeist Addendum." In this movie shows how the Economic Hitman work. They are supposed to lend money to littel contries and then thinking they could afford the debt. Later they will be surprised that they had to take away either land or what the country constructed.
For example in Colombia and Panama, in the construction of the canal. The USA lend money to Colombia and because they couldn´t afford the debt they take it away from them. Also in Ecuador, the US lend money and at the end of the day they end with the forest to exploit oil.

Malaysia Airlines-Boeing 777

Last 8 of March the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 took off from Kuala Lumpur about 12:40 am bound for Beijing, disappeared. The company had been investigating that there are high posibilities that one of the two pilots could be responsable for the disappearance of the airplane. The last message they gave was "All right, good night." They don´t give any advice that something was going wrong, instead they disconected the comunication system the ACARS. Whoever spoke not mention any problems on board, apparently fooling air traffic controllers. With all this the defense minister and the ministry of transport, believed it could be one of the two pilots involved in the accident.

What Is My Race?

It is hard to determine wich race I am, because race is what humans use to organize society and power. Race is define as the classification of humans into large groups. They are classificated by, cultural, ethnic, genetic, nationallity and religius. According to this  I am an Hispanic Latino or also  I could be white. Race has considered the white as the superior class and black as the lower class. People think that beacuse we are from South America, we had been stereotyped. People think that we are indians. But is not like thatt and even we are equal, we are just one race, we are humans.

What race I am? I was born in Cucuta, Colombia. In the past were I was born the "Motilones" the indians lived there, and their traits were like dark skin and dark hair. I am white skin, my hair is blond, my eyes are like yellow-green. Our traits don´t define what race we are but our actions do. Because it just exist one race:Humans. So, if you ask me: What is my race? I`ll answer you: I am human, that is my only race.
