Spreading the knowledge
There are many inventions in the world that have changed the way people live or just the way they make life easier. Amongst all these inventions there is one in particular that stands out the most and this is the printing press. The printing pres is considered one if not the greatest inventions in world history. This invention helped spread the knowledge in a great way, by paper. In modern day another great invention occurred also changing the way people live and become intelligent. The computer and internet is also considered a great advantage since important information of any kind is available to peoples reach whereas many years before the same information could only be acquired at a library. Aside from that with the help of the computer and internet you are virtually able to shop or make important payments without leaving home, which also reduces your vehicle gas consumption.

carpe diem
The Latin saying carpe diem which translated to the enjoyment of the pleasures of the moment without concern for the future is in my opinion what life in general is or should be for all the people. I believe that the though and/ or act of just enjoying yourself in any given situation is what helps us understand that life is short and we should be in a good state of mind and happiness despite the tragedies that we may be going through. Personally this is how I feel, the fact that there are positive thoughts about myself and the ones around me lets me know for a fact that the good vibe will be attracted towards me, that the chances of something bad happening reduce to a save percentage and that this keeps us healthy/ full of life even if we don’t notice it. we must believe in the hispanic saying that says: "AL MAL TIEMPO BUENOS PENSAMIENTOS" ( TO BAD TIMES GOOD THOUGHTS).

The existance of religion
The word religion has always been a term of importance, ignorance, reflection and also taboo. Religion is one of those terms that now days are not that openly talked about in some parts of the world. I will express my personal opinions in this blog. I believe that religion is a beautiful thing, and is something that in many ways makes us human beings reflect or think much more about life and death in general. This would be seen, or this would be best influenced in the Confucianism religion, in the terms that the combination of differences; good and evil, day and night, men and women, make better. Personally I’m under the catholic religion, which people amongst the Hispanic community refer it to as the “religion of the great believers”, and the reason it is referred like that is because as Catholics we believe and pray not mainly to God or Jesus but to all the saints each recognized for different occurred miracles. Under this religion we are also believers in all the god and the heavens in general. Not going too far out into the catholic religion, I believe that the purpose of religion and its existence is for the well being spiritually, emotionally, and physically of us the descendents of God and Jesus Christ.

civilization
A civilization or something/someone that is civilized, is a place, city, or country where the people or the population is much more upgraded or uptodate on many different things, and various aspects mainly in lifestyle or the way people live/ initeract. Many nations in the world have been civilized over the past thousands of years, a good example of civilization would be the regime of cuahutemoc and the aztec empire in mexico. the aztecs lived based on tribe faith and ideas, at the time everything was done by hand there were no commodities, just the basics for survival. the aztec population was uncivilized until the arrival of the spanish armada of hernan cortez. after the spanish invaded, mexico came into the process of civilization with the tools and equipement that cortez brought through which after hundreds of years the aztec empire in tenochitlan became what is now mexico city. same process goes for many other countries around the globe that have been civilized.
