Mobile phones for students, should or should not they be banned at school?

Nowadays there is an increment in the percentage of teenagers using the cell phone in the school and this produces a bad performance in all the subjects. The reasons why this is happening are that they will have dependence, distraction with games and bad use of a cell phone. When you see a student with his phone is because he has dependence with the pone, so he then develops an addiction and the student will find the necessity to have the phone near to him. Students that have their phones with them every day make a distraction in the school. This distraction is caused by the games that the students download to their phones and they will play with them all day, so that causes a distraction on the student who won't pay attention to what the teacher is saying. Finally the students don’t know the real function of a cell phone in the school. They think that the only function that the phone has is playing games and chatting all day with a lot of people. The real function of a phone is to call someone in the family if there is an emergency, that is the real function but the students don’t use the cell phone for that. So in my opinion the use of cell phones in school should be banned because the students don’t make good use of it, causing distraction and dependence.

How do hurricanes affect the economy of United States of America?

Every year when the winter comes, some states in USA are in stage of emergency because of the hurricane season that hurts their cities and destroys all that is in its way. Years ago the USA was hurt by three of the most powerful hurricanes of the history which were Katrina, Wilma and Rita. These hurricanes affected the economy of the country with property damage, unemployment and the destruction of the oil industry. Every year, hurricanes destroy homes and property. Only one hurricane causes millions of dollars in damage to housing and other buildings. Many of these structures finish completely demolished so they have to be cleaned up and then rebuilt. That is an extremely costly process because it takes time and money. After the damage of buildings comes the unemployment issue that is the effect of the many offices and industries that the hurricanes demolish, so the people who work at those businesses that are destroyed or even temporally shut down (become unemployed). Unemployment also hurts the local economy because they will not spend in the same way and this lack of spending can also lead to even more businesses closing and promote more unemployment. Oil companies are included in the way of hurricanes which sometimes destroy oil rigs, refineries and pipe lines. Oil companies will then have to partially halt production and make repairs and the result is higher prices for gas and fuel. The increase of price affects the costs of many goods and services they use every day. The amount of damage hurricanes leave on their path causes negative effects on the US economy. The number of annual hurricanes is on the rise and will be more damaging each year.

What is better? Wendy's or Mcdonald's

The hamburgers from Wendy’s and McDonald's give you different things. They havedifferences an similarities in the size of the hamburgers, variety in extra food and the shape of the meat. The size of the hamburgers in Wendy’s is more exaggerated; for example they have the ¾ lb triple hamburger that is three meat cakes and the Double cheese bacon deluxe that is two meat cakes, double cheddar cheese and bacon. On the other hand McDonald's only gives you its specialty is the big mac and the big tasty ; the first has one meat cake, tomato, lettuce and cheese and the other is the same but this one has a special stake sauce. Both restaurants offer combos. In McDonald's they are more varied. You can include in your combo mac potatoes and sundae ice creams and in Wendy’s chilly beans and cinnamon rolls that you can combine in every combo that you would chose. And finally the shape of the meat cake. In Wendy’s they use a square shape and in McDonald's they use the circular shape. Something that is similar between these hamburgers is that these two places use Heinz ketchup and the size of the soda.So the buyer should consider these points when deciding a hamburger to eat.
