Why volunteering worth it?
Immigration
Most immigrants are usually adults young age looking for a better future elsewhere. It is important to know that out of a country or place to settle elsewhere has never been easy for groups or individuals, but instead it has always presented many obstacles. Not only in the country of entry but also in the country of origin prior to departure. Immigration is good for the country's economic growth as immigrants provide labor for a type of hard work done by local workers. The immigrant labor becomes a condition of economic growth increasingly necessary for the progressive aging of the population.
Migration presents different problems such as difficulty in obtaining legal identity documents or legal work permits. It also presents the xenophobia or the rejection. Present socioeconomic disadvantage compared to residents of that place, less educated, less skilled occupations, greater poverty, lower social security, concentration in a few communities, poor housing and services. The demographic component is also important for example in the case of some European countries that are native population decreased by aging and receive the same legal or illegal immigrants to fill thousands of job vacancies.
The difficulty to enter and work legally will result in an increase in illegal immigration. In the future, it is very likely that migration flows are maintained and at times be accelerated with high proportion of illegal immigrants thus increasing social problems for recipient countries. It is likely that these flows will increase in coming years. Do not forget that the drivers and attraction will continue to flow in migratory movements. But neither should forget that the most likely destination countries will increasingly filter the granting of residence permits and work to prospective immigrants because they require.
Food
There are many types of foods including fast foods, but they are the worst for our health. Most people often only eat these foods and that's where the different diseases. Fast foods are made with ingredients formulated to achieve a certain flavor or consistency and to preserve freshness. This requires a high degree of food engineering, the use of additives and processing techniques alter substantially this food and reduce its nutritional value. This makes the famous junk food are bad for our body.
Fast food contains high levels of fat, salt, spices or sugars that stimulate the appetite and thirst. This has a strong commercial interest for restaurants that provide that type of food for every day consumption. Usually most young people are those who consume these products yet they will suffer diseases related to blood, obesity, diabetes and cholesterol. The eating habits we have acquired over time have become a habit that endangers health. Some junk foods most consumed are hamburgers, pizza, potatoes fried, fried chicken, and soft drinks, among others.
Usually fast foods taste good, are cheap, and can be eaten in minutes. Fast food causes an addiction so strong that it can only be compared to addiction to snuff or drugs because people consume every day chelates three times a day. Digestion in general becomes heavier and the first problems may cause bad digestion and gas that eventually degenerate into gastritis or cancer.
It would be interesting to all people, especially those with young children to be aware of the irreversible consequences produced by this way of eating. Sometimes, everyday life prevents us to pause a moment and reflect on events that seriously undermine our health. But, it's worth it making an effort to change those customs contrary to our well being. Eating these foods daily can seriously affect our health, but if we reduce it gradually to once a week or once a month and eat more fruits, vegetables and natural water, we have better health and care for our lives.

Essay 2- Protect endangered species

Protect endangered species
Have you ever thought about passing stricter laws to protect endangered species? Do you know what animals mean to us? Endangered animals need to be protected by us to live; they are part of the world. People should pass laws to protect our balanced environment, to have diversity and to preserve endangered animals.
Everything in the nature has a reason to be there. It’s important that every animal has necessary food, a place to live and a peaceful life. If they died, we wouldn’t have the same environment. The balance would be incomplete; it’s true that bad consequences will come. More weight in one side of our environment could affect us negatively.
Laws should be stricter because species can’t disappear. We are the people in charge of taking care of animals. Diversity means to have different species in order to develop a balanced world. Our planet is continually changing, causing habitats to be altered and modified; that affects our diversity. Every animal is important and needs to be there for our benefit.
Rapid habitat loss is the primary cause of species endangerment. The strongest forces in rapid habitat loss are human beings. Nearly every region of the earth has been affected by human activity. The extinction of these animals and various species in polluted habitats and changes in global climate brought about by release of greenhouse gasses are all results of us. Species in danger must be protected and saved so that future generations can experience their presence and value.
When species become endangered, it’s an indicator that the health of these vital ecosystems is disappearing. So, let’s think about the way we are taking care of them. For our benefit, we need to protect animals. Species are needed to supply us with food, conserve balance, interact with plants, and many others. Animals are alive; let’s make actions to take care of them!
