2. Rincón will be the first town in Puerto Rico to prohibit the use of plastic bags in stores starting in January 2015. They have studied the impact of plastic bags on the environment and have decided to take action. This has been done in other countries and has been very successful. I just hope the whole island decides to do the same.

3. Sometimes people think that bigger means better. Universities are not the exception. Many people have not heard about Columbia Centro Universitario, or if they have, they tend to have a negative image of it. The Nursing program is one of the best in the area. In fact, 98% of the students at the associate degree level and 100% at the bachelor degree level passed the board exam in December of 2013.

ReplyDeletePrior to reading the articles, I honestly had not heard of them or had read none.

The article that I liked the most was the second that talked about the elimination of plastic bags in the town of Rincon, since I find it a very positive step for the environment and to reduce pollution.
3. What positive message do you think these articles say about Puerto Ricans?
The positive message I think these 3 products provide is that eventhough it is an island so small Puerto Rico does it better and sinuses join what we propose and succeed in all aspects and we spare intelligence and desire to strive.
4. Do you think it's a good idea to prohibit plastic bags? Why or why not?
Yes, I think it's an excellent idea to ban plastic bags because we live in a country with highly contaminated soils and to ban plastic bags are contributing will be to be healthier soils
5. Do you hear more negative or more positive things about studying at Columbia? Mention one positive thing and one negative thing you have heard about Columbia.
Well, I've heard of the 2 both positive and negative. Positive is that they have always told me that the teachers are excellent and care for the student to succeed, plus if you do not lose any quarter end up in a short time the chosen career and something negative I have said and I checked is that because the scholarship must be left without studying a semester because they have plenty of pocket to pay the students.

The article discusses the Industrialization found in Puerto Rico. This development is described in three phase which are to strengthen the economy of this Country. We said that to boost the sugar industry was to enter the tariff system of the United States. And so the American home investors discovered the potential of development in Puerto Rico and also began investing.
To me this article is very interesting because it explains how it was that the Island began Industrialization has put forward. I also think it is important because Americans realized it was worth the effort and decided to invest.
