Unit 7 Workplace Privacy

     There is a great controversy regarding the monitoring of jobs. Employers regularly feel the need to monitor their employees, because they are paying a time that must be used for the tasks for which they are paying. Sometimes workers are intentionally delayed, and they can also use the company's resources for personal tasks. This motivates owners and / or bosses to use certain forms of surveillance, which can range from security cameras to blocking certain content on the network to maximize productivity. On the other hand, there is the fact that surveillance can have an opposite effect on employees. The sensation produced by knowing that every action you take will be monitored, can create great tension, even anxiety in people.

UNIT 6- Spiritual Renewal

 My opinion about Fasting.  I respect others religions and beliefs but i disagree about fasting. Here are some of my thoughts about it:  The food is not a problem. Eating is not a sin. Hunger is not healthy. Being hungry will not put you closer to God or any other divinity. As a Dominican President once said: ''Hungry people don't even think''.  People can fast by not practicing negative things. But as i said before, i respect others beliefs. 

UNIT 5- Feng Shui

I think that people that believes in Feng Shui are just superstitious people that want to stop robbery or win the lottery. I don't like some things from Feng Shui style because it would make me feel out of freedom but it also has things that i like. I will write a list of what i like and what i don't. Likes  A aquarium Plants and flowers A desk facing a view  A room full of windows  Living on a quiet dead-end street.  Dislikes  Mirrows  Living near a cemetery An odd number of dinning rooms chairs  Pictures of bats on the walls A tiger statue outside an office door. ( I rather a Dog).
