Robert Nixon used to consume alcoholic drinks once in a while. Slowly, he started to drink each day more and things got worse. His behavior was becoming unpredictable. He tells of one incident in a club on a Sunday afternoon when a fight broke out and he and his friends were involved. Minutes later he was outside being questioned by the police and spent several hours at the police station. He was released but in spite of this, the next day he was drinking at his favorite bar again. What kind of person goes everyday desperate for a drink everyday?. Now he is alone, a desperate alcoholic.

ResponderEliminarA habit is a constant behavior which is difficult to quit. But it could become an addiction. For example, someone can become an alcoholic. This is a person who drinks constantly to escape from problems. Nevertheless, some addictions are most socially acceptable like smoking, drinking, Internet addiction, gambling, horse racing, cell phones, shopping, and video games. They don’t affect others terribly, just the addict and also these addictions could be controlled. People who are lonely, depressed, overwhelmed and sad become addicts. They need help, understanding, care, advice, patience and time. They also need to go to therapy and counseling. They need to understand the consequences of their addictions.
ResponderEliminara habit its something that it could be for good r bad, and an addiction its something that you need to do everyday and it consume a person.
ResponderEliminarkinds of addictions are:internet,smoking,different kinds of drugs shopping addictions,sex addictions...
the person who is an addict because of his/her friends...
in his/her family and work its judged by relatives and they try to help him.
A habit is something that is normal in your dialy routine something good , and an addiction is something that doesntis good for you , your body internally and your mind.
ResponderEliminarSmoke and drink are the most acepted addictions by the society because are very common in this moment.
I think that some kind of people is triying to be acepted in a social group or by family problems try to find an escape in the adictions.
A person whit adiction can be not acepted because make problems ,in his job family and whit hia partners.the only solution is take him out whit professional help to leave the addictions.
The difference between a habit and an alcoholic is that the habit is something that you do constantly, it could be good or bad, and an alcoholic is a person that has an obssesion for drink alcoholic beverages. The most socially acceptable addictions are to smoke and drink because the people skip or try to forget the problems and they think this is the best way to do it. The people who don´t trust on themselves and the people that depend of the other person to do something are types of personality who are more likely to become addicts. The family of the addict person is the most important help that he or she can receive because they know the personality of the person. They could talk, give trust, love, confidence and also they should be with the person every moment for help him or her.
ResponderEliminarA habit are the things that I make everyday and I make constantly and an adiction is a thing that I need more and more everyday.The kind of addictions are: smoking, drinking, play videogames for all day, cellphone,use the computer(internet)everyday for play a pc games or talk with her friends,eat food for anything when he/she is depressed , job, sex.These addictions are common because is too easy to control.People who are depressed, quiet and need a family could be addicted.The family need to bring help and her/his friends need to give advice.The addicted should go to the psychologist
ResponderEliminar1)The difference is:habit is something that you do costantly,like go to the school,habit is like one routine,alcoholic is when someone needs for live drinking everyday.
ResponderEliminar2)For example play video games,watch t.v all day or be in the computer playing line games.Why?because those addictions do not affect the health much as the other.
3)Yes,because some people have strong and firm personalities and other have a weak personalities and those feelings affect to take desicions.
4)Depending because if the addict wants to change the family going to help her/him but if the addict doesn´t want to change her/him family going to move away
1-An habit is something that you always do without note it, but you could control it if you try. An alcoholic, is an addiction, but in my opinion, there is not much difference between a habit and an addiction (alcoholic), because the word addiction is used to describe a habit that is harder to break .The difference is It's much easier to stop biting your nails than it is to stop smoking or using drugs.
ResponderEliminar2-Well, see TV all the day or play video games are more acceptable, but others addiction for example the drugs aren't acceptable
3-I think that the emotional situations, problems, or friends can make them are going to be an alcoholic person or have an other problem addiction.
4- The people who is alcoholic needs her/his family going to help her/his. To enter in rehabilitation is a good solution, but that the person really needs is willpower.
The difference between habit and an alcoholic strength is that we do for the good or evil,is the habit of the person,as for example dinner with a glass of wine,but an alcoholic is adicction that has the person with alcohol,is a unit to do what is necesary for drink.
ResponderEliminarThe types of addictions that are more acceptable in society are:drugs such as marihuana,alcohol,sex addictive,smoking,video games,addicction to the internet etc.The types of addiction are more acceptatable than others because the society little by little the has been incorcorated in the daily life,which leads to the society have to get used to his addictions more common in the world are less harmful than others.
Yes,because many people know what they want and have a strong personality this means that they can take better decisions,but people with low personality tend to fall more in the addiction because they think it is a solution to the problems.
Friends,family and co-workers should help so much these people,have to give much supports forward and overcome this problem.
Habit is when doing the same thing all the time.Sometimes is unconscious.And an alcoholic is when a person cant stop drinking alcohol.The addictions are not unconscious.The alcoholism is a sickness.The addictions more acceptable are:
ResponderEliminarWatch TV , be a long time with the cellphone. Because the people dont sick much with this.And the less acceptable are the alcohol,the smoked and the other drugs.Cause damage to the person and his family.Yes because are people that are more rebellious.The friends can give good advice and the family can give good values from small. And in the high school the teachers can teach more values at the student
1.A Habit is an action that we acquired from different kinds of people of the society but sometimes we don't realize when we do it, also there are two kinds of habit:the good ones and the bad ones.And the alcoholic is a person who adopt a bad custom and for this person is harder to stop doing this, sometimes because they have a psychological problems or a trauma.
ResponderEliminar2.I think that the most acceptable addictions are: Smoke because a very important quantity of people do it and for that reason nobody look it as something bad and Compulsive Spenders because as many people buy everything at every time in every place, any person has problems because in some way everybody is a compulsive spender.
3.Yes, I think so. Because sometimes people tends to make jokes about addictions or compete between who is the one that resist the most(without doing the addiction or doing it)
4.Well I think that the best solution for a person who has some kind of addiction is that all the people around he/she show them support to the affected person in order to cheer the person and give him/her the momentum to keep going with him/her treated or to start going there.
A habit is something that you do everyday since you were a child. In the other hand, addiction is when your body requires something that you won’t deny because it has become part of your life.
ResponderEliminarNowadays in a society is normal to see people smoking and drinking in all places. But I think this is a big problem for many other people, for example people who don't like the smoke.
In my opinion, personality is not related to addictions, because each person chooses their lifestyle.
They should take some therapy to break this addiction. It is better when these people talk to their family members about the problem because they could provide them support.
I think that a habit is something that every person have and do constantly even unconsciously it could be good or bad, well like brush my teeth three times per day and somethings like that. And be an alcoholic is when a person needs to do for many reasons like forgive problems, unburden and also be part from some group of people and these become an addiction. Some addictions are most socially acceptable like smoking, drinking, internet, cell phones, shopping, video games and more because they want to be part of a group or something like that. I think that there are many kinds of people, people who live their life and they don’t worry the things that persons say about their life but also many people do not believe in themselves and they worry for the comments of the people so they do things that people say and most of the time they are not agree with that but they do that things just to be accepted. When people are addicted some friends judged him/her without know him/her case I think the people, friends family have to help him/her to get over this problem.
ResponderEliminarAn habit is a costume that every person have every day an ais constantly and an alcoholic is a adiction were you need every day in more dosis to feel good with own. smoke and alcoholic are an adictions that socially acept more because nowadays is normal were a people are smoking in teh street and drinking beer or an alcoholic product. Well, a think were a person to have a problem down in the adictions is not correct because are more exits not only the drugs. So i think to a adict person have to go wiht a proffesional that help to this person to take a control of the adiction.
ResponderEliminarthe habit is when actions of everyday life, used to do something and can be leave as they are not addicted to it. addiction is when you can not quit and frustrated, all addictions are bad. Addiction to shopping, playing video games, smoking and alcohol are used to them, and we are not surprised to see him as in the streets and bars these last two. People with genetic content are more likely to have problems with addictions, low self-steem problems refuge in addiction, anyone can do to be addicted. People with addiction problems should seek help at clinics, addiction, treatment and psychologists, also must have support and understanding of the people around them, with patience and understanding can come of it.

ResponderEliminar1)an habil is an activity than the people have long time ago, can be positive or negative, like brushing your teeths, and an alcoholic is a person who can´t stop doing an activity, always is bad.
ResponderEliminar2)the most socially acceptable addictions are like:smoke, drink, watch a lot of tv and use the cell phone, because are activities that people do every day or is normal to see every day.
3)yes, because when you have a strong personality and know what you want for your live, you have less likely to become alcoholic or to have an addiction, but if you have a weak personality is more possible to become an addict.
4)I think that the family and the really close friends are going to have a great treat and try to help her or him because they love her or him and they want to the person change with their support, but sometimes the co-workers and bad friends have a bad treat with the person because they don`t trust her or him or is afraid about what can do she o he when he o she is drunk.
solutions: search a doctor or a psychologist for help and ask to your family and relatives support and understanding.
1)I think the difference between a habit and alcoholic it’s that the last one it’s kind of diseases, it means that you cannot live without alcohol.
ResponderEliminar2)Some addictions are socially acceptable, like Smoking or Drinking, some other don’t like Marihuana or Crack, because they are bad for health.
3)I think some types of personalities are more likely to become addicts, like, people who had been punished form long time, and had not felt love form his parents, because probably they look in drugs the love that his parents didn’t bring to they.
4)We can help to this people, been supportive with them, give them love and listening when they have problems, also asking for help in institutions that are specialist on this problem
5)One solution for this problem could be, teaching to young people about Drugs and Addictions, showing to this people the bad things these things make.
A habit is something you can not stop doing and not always good, but being an alcoholic does not have good consequences.
ResponderEliminarThe habits more accepted are drugs like alcohol and this is accepted because people think it's not as bad as marihuana or other drugs.
Yes, I think many of the personalities are weaker than others but also influences education that our parents give us.
They can go to an institution that helps people with alcohol problems, may also receive advice from their family and they can give more support for their rehabilitation.
And always believe in God and have faith to can change.
A habit is something that aveces have and does not remove itself us and an addiction is when we need of it to be able to live through some sound drink, smoke and these are not accepted by the company since they are things they are not good for us and some habits are to eat up the nails or to make the lid of the service opened aveces the types of personality are that provocn these addictions like when we have to copy to other persons or this way the persons with strong addictions need mas that quite the help of his families and these them do not have to joke help rather so much mentally as physics in order that it could leave the addiction

ResponderEliminarEndangered species
ResponderEliminarDue to global warming, many species are in danger of extinction. As the illustration shows, many animals are losing their habitats. This is a very serious problem since unfortunately we will witness the disappearance of many species on Planet Earth. The habitats are being destroyed due to several causes like deforestation, overexploitation, pollution, diseases and urbanism. Also, habitats have been altered and modified by humans who need the land and the forest. Besides, industrialization and production of too many gases have destroyed the ozone layer and has caused the melting of the poles. We need to take a stand and start acting as responsible citizens. As solutions, we can use the 4 RS: recycle, reuse, reduce and restore. We must avoid buying products made of animals’ fur. Also, we need to donate money to wildlife conservation organizations like The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). The planet is our home, protect it!

ResponderEliminarThe pollution of rivers.
ResponderEliminarIs caused because the people throw your trash in the rivers or seas, trash like chemical wastes, imorganic subtances and the hospital waste that make that the rivers grow and many times flood streets, houses and make many disasters.
This have very bad consequences to the planet and for ourselves because it can affect our health and causes the death of many species, we need to protect them because the rivers bring us water, air purifying, entreteiment and always bring ud a beautifull view but not when have trash on its shores and have a horrible smell so we can help to solve this problem pulling the garbage in the dump, making recycle companies and go with friends and professionals to talk to others persons about the pollution of rivers and their effect...
