Entry 3- the importance of solar energy among other energy resources

     The use of solar energy goes beyond being an alternative energy source since it provides improvements that can benefit environment and people. For example, the solar-powered panels extract their energy from the electrons found in the rays projected by the sun; on the other hand, the use of fossil fuels affects directly the environment as it produces changes in the weather as a result of different gasses emissions, and it damages the land properties that produce plants and others resources such as fruits and grafts that are needed for human survival. Another example is that solar energy is renewable since it depends on the sun ray’s projection to the earth to charge the panels; as a result, it becomes a good option for places in which electricity connection can not reach certain places because of its location, so solar panels can be located in these places to provide electricity. To sum up, understanding the importance of solar energy makes people be aware of preserving natural resources in the planet. 

Entry 4-the role of war songs in different cultures

   The use of war songs played an important role in different aspects of many conflicts among history. For example, the Russian war anthem katyusha was used to make soldiers reflect upon their coming back from the war since this song described a girl name Katyusha who stayed in a plain because her loved soldier never returned; as a result, soldiers were psychological influenced to return triumphant from the war so that they could see katyusha, singing happily for their coming back.

The last example is that music has shown its relevance in different historical moments among wars. Drummers were an essential element in conflicts since those persons were in charge of playing music while soldiers were shouting their guns. The North American song “when Johnny comes marching home” is an example of musician’s exposure to the almost inevitably death since the use of different instruments such as flutes, trumpets and drums were needed to create an atmosphere that could let the enemies know the army’s presence was there.

Entry 8-Health complications in American football players

    American football players suffer from a series of injuries due to several factors. For example, some players are exposed to brusque contact as a result of some formations in which they get contact directly to other player. To illustrate, players who are part of the defense must retain the progress of the offense team until it reaches the fourth down without getting a field goal; consequently, players of the defense team may suffer from shoulders dislocations and concussions. Another example is that wide receivers are always vulnerable to high risk injuries since they are in charge of catching and running downfield according to what the quarterback has decided; as a result, some parts of their bodies such as the chest, back and legs are exposed to several injuries corresponding to broken bones and ligament rupture. The last example is that the stress faced during important games affects players psychologically. To illustrate, in the Superbowl game, there is a strategy the losing team may use which consists of requesting a time out when the winning team is about to do a field goal. By calling a time out, the game stops and players tend to get nervous which makes them more likely to fail a crucial move.Consequently, this gives the losing team a chance to tie the game. To sum up, players of the National Football League assume several risks when playing. 

Entry 9-The dangers of urban exploration

     People who practice urban exploration are exposed to some risks. For example, since the places urban explores go to are always deteriorated, they are most likely to suffer from different injuries provoked by broken glasses, unsafe floors and harmful substances. Another danger of this type of exploration is that urban explores can be arrested since some abandoned places are still private property, so breaking into these places is against the law; consequently, urban explores may deal with high penalties fee. Other problem of this activity is that some people such as homeless, criminals and satanic cults use abandoned places to have meetings; consequently, Urban explores may be exposed kidnappings, robberies or fights depending on the type of persons they may find. To sum up, Urban exploration represents a dangerous activity among different people who upload their videos on YouTube, but apparently, the risks implied in this activity are worthy for many persons who practice this activity since they can receive popularity on internet.

   Piracy affects the anime industry due to several factors. For example, most people prefer watching anime from illegal streaming websites since they have a huge list of series available for their users; consequently, legal streaming websites are not able to contribute to the different producers and series animators as they do not have a big amount of users who can pay an account to watch anime legally; as a result, these legal websites are not able to buy buy all the licenses to distribute to their users which lead them to have a limited list of series. Another consequence is that the expenses implied in an animation such as voice actors, animation process and sound effects cannot be covered since since most viewers watch these series without paying. As a result, different producers and animation enterprises have to be declared in bankruptcy. To illustrate, the anime studio Xebec which had been existing for 24 years has been adsorb by IG production due to an economic crisis in which piracy is a factor since all series produced in this studio can be found in illegal streaming websites. To sum up, piracy will always be a problem for animators since people always find a way to create and provide free content even if there has been several websites already shut down such as Animemovil.com and AnimeYT.com, there will always be new ones coming up.
