Is it ever all right to cheat? To lie?


Most parents teach their children that lying is always wrong and that it causes problems. Nevertheless, when a person becomes a teenager, he or she realizes that telling the truth is not always the best option. Although in most situations it is better to tell the truth than to lie, telling the truth all the time is almost impossible. There are a few situations when telling lies leads to more good than bad.

It is good to tell lies when a person is not safe and scape danger that way. For example, in El Salvador, a small country of Central America, many people tell lies when an unknown person calls at home asking for personal information. By giving fake names, phone numbers, addresses and so on, people can protect themselves from kidnaps and extortions.

Sometimes it is better to lie to protect other´s people health. In some cases, people not tell the truth to their relatives about an illness they may be facing so that they feel healthy emotionally. For example, a friend of mine decided not to tell his father about the cancer he had. As a result, her father did not get depressed and this helped him to improve his health a lot.

Telling lies is good when a person cares for other´s people feelings. For instance, parents lie when telling their children that Santa Claus brought the presents under the Christmas tree. In this situation, parents worry that eventually they will have to break the news to their children. However, in most cases children realize by themselves that Santa does not exist. That is why lying about Santa is good for protecting the children´s feelings.

To conclude, lying is something that has to be done depending on the situation. There are some exceptions in which lying has more good than bad, sometimes because a person is escaping danger, or maybe a person is protecting other´s people feelings or health. However, in most cases telling the truth will be the best option.

"Sometimes people don´t feel well because they don´t want to"

Some people are always complaining about their health. One of the most common phrases is “I do not feel well”. However, many illnesses are made up in people´s mind, That means that they really do not have a physical sickness. Following this further, there are many reasons why people act as if they feel bad by inventing medical problems.


When somebody is constantly seeking attention and pretending to be a wounded victim, is it best to ignore them or give them the undeserved attention they are seeking with the thirst of a raging alcoholic looking for the cooking sherry?Some people behave as if they do not feel well because of an inner need to be seen as ill or injured. For example, these people pretend to have a physical illness such as a stomachache, a headache and so on, in order to get special attention. As a result, other people try to help them by providing pills and treatments that are totally unnecessary. 

Other people make up medical problems looking for practical benefits. For example, getting out of work by calling in sick has become very popular all over the world. Also, there are some people who want to avoid a lawsuit or an incarceration by faking a serious disease. As a result, these people convince themselves that they have an illness in order to make believe other people the same so they can benefit from it.

Inventing medical problems is very frequent when a person has low self-esteem. These people do so because they are looking for excuses to avoid socializing with others. Moreover, they want to consume medications in order to feel better emotionally. For instance, there are some people that have the need to ingest medicine not to solve a physical illness but a psychological problem related to poor self-esteem.

In conclusion, some people can make believe that they do not feel well for a variety of reasons. No matter the reason the person has, it is important to look for professional help. These people have the option to take psychological therapies to prevent that those inventing illnesses affect many aspects of their lives.

Parents should try to instill their beliefs about religion in their children

When a person becomes a parent, he or she has to assume all the responsibilities that come with it. Since parents have the right to decide how their children will be raised, they are the main responsible for their children´s education, including the teaching of religion. Following this further, parents should try to instill their beliefs about religion in their children for many reasons.

Children should be taught by their parents about religion so they can learn to have good behavior. They will behave appropriately since most of the religions teach values and good principles to people. Certainly, if children are led in religion by their parents, they will learn to differentiate between right and wrong from their very beginning of their life.

The best time to teach children about God is in their early days. It is important for a family to have a God to teach them and to guide them in their lives, no matter which religion they choose. For this reason, parents should instill their beliefs about God in their children so they can learn to love and respect him. As a result, children will get an early impression that one of the most important people in the world is God, their creator.

Parents that do no instill their beliefs about religion in their children are letting other people do that important job that should be done by them. Since children are exposed to all sorts of faith, they will probably choose a religion based on the influence of someone else. This can lead the children not to make the best decision in their lives, considering that parents want the best for them.

In conclusion, parents are the first educators in their children in all aspects of life. Without a doubt, religion should be taught by parents in the early years of their children. This is one of the most important jobs of being a parent that should not be underestimated for all the reasons indicated above.

Progress does not make us lazy!
Progress has always been the main goal in a society. People focus on being better in terms of science, technology, modernization, quality of life, and so forth. Progress has become an essential part for getting an easier life. However, that does not mean that people become lazy. Progress has many advantages that should be pointed out.

Nowadays, cell phones have become popular all over the world since they are very useful. For example, a person can communicate with their family and friends not matter where they are. In today´s world, just by sending a message or making a call a person can be in touch with others. Moreover, these devices assist people in business as they can organize their schedules, surf on the internet and contact their costumers easily.


The internet is one of the most important tools in the business field for its functions.The internet has a lot to offer in terms of services. For instance, people can book tickets for a movie, transfer funds, pay utilities bills, buy and sell things. Also, some companies have created business websites that allow clients to review information about the company and its products before making a purchase.


Technological advances have contributed in reducing the physical labor. Many studies have showed that people who have high-physical-job demands have more probabilities of suffering from heart diseases than those people who have other types of jobs. The progress in technology has helped people on having better conditions in their jobs. Since technology has to be controlled by someone, employments are always available to people.



In conclusion, progress has many advantages that should be taken into consideration, such as having an easy communication system and getting better jobs. Since advances in modernization, technology and science come with greater responsibilities, people should focus on assuming all the responsibilities advances can bring, instead of thinking that progress makes people lazy.
