Abortion Class

The class of Dr. Lorraine at first seemed a bit boring, and to consider the class was too focused on midwifery career. When  advance the development of the class, my thoughts shift to the class was focused on women. It cost me a little bit to concentrate in class because the doctor spoke very low for being cold.
Unfortunately this week we had a big test and several group presentations that affected the care put into the class, lack of sleep I feel to promote the desconcentration.
I think we dont´t took advantage the presence of the doctor from Sweden, but with more practical and willing to dare, I bet the next session participation will be more active in class.
Specifically in the topics covered in class, the most important for me was the difference between genders and how to combat inequality. I believe this issue has evolutionated bit a bit  gradually diminishing differences, but unfortunately we have much to learn and move on, as it said the Swedish doctor in her country several problems were solved long time ago. Although we also pointed out that in his country, there are still some problems and most very closely of us in our country.
I think it will take many more years to achieve a real advance in terms of gender equality, as it is an issue that has no real importance, and until there is a debate, never achieve serious progress.
The debate should arise in all areas possible and not just work or academic level, I think it should be important in school and know that the children also can provide their vision.

Dealing with Stress

Stress is one of the biggest problems currently exist today and could be considered a disease that affects the majority of the population, and even today is affecting the pediatric population. Item unthinkable several years ago because the disease according to my grandparents did not exist and everything is solved with a good shook up ... hahahaThe great cause of stress I could say it is due to working conditions, which in our cases is extrapolated to college conditions as the existing global system is only concerned with productivity and is leaving aside issues such as quantity and quality of work .
Biologically speaking, in situations of stress is secreted a hormone called cortisol, whose main characteristic is to be proteolytic, meaning that breaks down proteins in our body, so large amounts of cortisol secreted could generate large damages . This hormone is secreted by the suprarrenal gland.The most common symptom of stress is the weakness and headache, it generates a general tiredness and boring.
The general recommendation for people who are under periods of stress, is to take a good rest, to share with family and recreation, to escape the routine and obviously physical activity. Note that stress is one of the cheaper diseases and their remedies are in the reach of the hand. In simple words, I would recommend to all people who suffer stress that enjoy life, simple things that also generates happiness, which in public places can make physical activity. In fact, writing a blog is a way to release tension and don´t produce stress.
