Moral Dilemmas, What is it?

Morality is defined as the principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behaviour. What makes these questions dilemmas is an individual’s definition of right and wrong or good and bad. However, in a time when many question our national moral character, pondering what to do in various situations can be a positive exercise preparing an individual for worst and best case scenarios.



For example, You go out with your husband for dinner at a new restaurant you have not frequented before. It is in a part of town you rarely visit. You are shocked to see your friend’s spouse having dinner with a very young, attractive person. From the way they are behaving, it is obvious they are more than friends. The couple finish their meal and leave without seeing you. They behave very affectionately on the way out the door. Do you:

  • Tell your friend, knowing you probably will not be believed and that it may ruin your friendship?
  • Say nothing about seeing the couple as it is none of your business; they may even have an open relationship?

My Answer
In my case I would tell my friend because I am an honest person.

Adolescence changed my appetite

Imagen
When I was little I didn't like to eat many things like beans, for example, I was crazy about fast food and I couldn't stand vegetables , like any other child, that's why I think I grew up being a little chubby, however many things changed when I reached adolescence. After going through puberty, apart from growing a lot, losing weight and having less energy than before, my appetite and my daily diet changed too, I didn't used to eat vegetables but now I am a big vegetable eater , I have no problem eating anything. I used to be a  chocolate  addict but now I eat very little , as well as the things that hurt me because I am older, except coffee, I have always been a coffee lover and always will be.

 Fried Mojarra When you start talking about typical food from Barranquilla, the first thing that comes to mind is that fried mojarra with patacón, coconut rice and salad. Of course, this dish must be accompanied by a glass of ice-cold panela water to cool off a bit from the heat of the city. Now let's proceed with the more technical stuff... Name of dish Fried Mojarra Description It is an economic recipe, very tasty and simple in its preparation. The most important thing to obtain a good dish with this type of product is that the fish smell as fresh as possible. In my region the dish is served with a golden mojarra, it is hard , very crunchy and perfectly cooked but in the mouth it has a salty taste . What´s In It? Mojarra Garlic cloves Salt Ground black pepper Cumin Green lemon juice Olive oil Wheat flour for dusting Vegetable oil for frying PD:  Accompanied by rice with coconut, salad, fried plantains and lemon wedges that cannot be missed! ;)      2.  Mote de Queso Mote de que

Rules for Possesive Pronouns

Imagen
As their names imply, possessive pronouns show ownership. The independent possessive pronouns are mine, ours, yours, his, hers, its, and theirs. We break down each type and offer examples of their usage below. Possessive pronouns are a type of possessive noun. Also called absolute possessive pronouns, possessive pronouns simplify constructions that show possession of a noun by replacing it—in other words, independent possessive pronouns must stand alone and be used without a noun. To understand how possessive pronouns can make things simpler and clearer, first take a look at this example of a sentence that does not use a possessive pronoun: Juan’s peace lilies were healthier than my peace lilies. It sounds repetitive and feels a little unnecessary to state “peace lilies” twice in this sentence. Rewriting with a possessive pronoun simplifies things: Juan’s peace lilies were healthier than mine. Examples: My phone is dead. Pass me yours. Did you know that Labrador is mine? The house on t
