OZONE LAYER

This article talks about the decrease of the ozone layer. A few years ago was able to stop the destruction of the ozone layer and only 1 year ago the layer began to regenerate but now they are emitting substances that could slow the process of curing the ozone layer even 30 years.

Resultado de imagen de capa de ozonoThe ozone layer is a very important layer that protects us from UV rays. These UV rays are what can cause skin cancer, vision problems and can even genetically modify plants and vegetables. That is why it is vitally important to repair the ozone layer, to stop using products that are so damaging to the layer and to look for alternatives to those products that do not pollute so much.
Even though the ozone layer has begun to heal, there are countries like China where they generate a lot of toxic products that are not monitored and that can make the cure of the ozone layer to be extended even 30 years more than anticipated.

INTERSEX CHILDREN

This article deals with a very sensitive topic: Intersex children. In some hospitals, no attention is given to families that have intersex children and do not give psychological help to children or family members.
Resultado de imagen de intersexualidadI believe it is vitally important to psychologically help families with intersex children before deciding what kind of operation they want to do to their child. It is also very important to help the child psychologically when he is already an adult, as he may not feel comfortable with his body. There have been cases of children in which they were operated on leaving the sexuality of a girl because the operation was simpler but being XY instead of XX, so some children do not feel good to grow because they are genetically a boy but with the body of a girl.
That is why it is very important to help families, because the decision is irreversible and can cause many psychological problems.

CHILD AND TEEN OBESITY SPREADING ACROSS THE GLOBE

This article explains the rise of obese children and adolescents around the world. Alarming figures that, although they fall in some countries like the united kingdom, increase much more in other countries like Asia.

In my opinion obesity is a big problem to be addressed. Obesity is a disease that if treated early can lead to serious heart problems and diabetes.
The biggest fault of this is the fast food industries. In addition to the fast food industries are also responsible for sugary drinks such as cocacola or redbull, which contain large amounts of sugars and products that increase our weight in large quantity.
I think it is not okay to put children on a diet since they are of growing age and have the right to eat everything, but in the case of excess we should monitor the amount of junk food that children and adolescents eat because , in the long run, can have serious health problems that, although they achieve to lose weight and to obtain an adequate weight will continue having problems like diabetes.
