Nowadays thanks to the improvement of the medicine and the basic conditions of life, some people live a lot of years and also some of them live up to 100 years old. Although longevity is a controversial topic in many countries because in the developed countries there are more and more doctors, but in the underveloped countries there aren't many doctors. Is living up up 100 years old an advantage or a disadvantage? On the one hand, there are some advantages such as you can see the transformation in the city where you live when you were a child, you can travel more, you can enjoy your family, you can meet all your family, etc. In addition, when someone retires, he can spend more time with his family.

Also if there are lots of people that live up to 100 years old, there will be fewer chil...

I am going to start by defining superstition, it is the belief opposite to the reason that attributes a     magic explanation to things. Very important people were superstitious such as Napoleon, Socrates, Julio Cesar and Samuel Johnson. Napoleon feared black cats, Socrates feared the evil eye, Julio Cesar feared dreams and Samuel Johnson always got in or got out buildings with the right leg. On the one hand, there are superstitions that are bad, such as number 13, to see a black cat, to go under a ladder, to spill salt, to open an umbrella inside the house, to light three cigarrettes with the same match, to see a crooked picture, to break a mirror, etc. Each of them has its opposite, for example, if you break a mirror you will have to take it and throw it in a bucket so that won't have bad luck. On the other hand, there are a superstitions that are good, such as hang a horseshoe behind the door, to spit, to blow the candles, to find a four- leaf clover, to tou...

Altthough Twitter is the third application more used of the world, I don't use it. More over, Instagram and Whatsapp are the two more used. On the one hand, to have social networks has many advantages, because you can see photos, states, ... . In the case of Twitter, you can write tweets with a maximum of 140 words. In other words, each application works in a different way from other applications. But when an application is very successful, the other applications try to copy it. For example when Snapchat went out and has successful, other applications as Instagram, Whatsapp copied it. On the other hand, to have social networks can be very harmful for you, if you don...
