How Long Do You Need Treatment For Mrsa

Purple Spirit Day / Spirit Day

On October 20 of each year is celebrated worldwide on Spirit Day Spirit Day or Purple, which is nothing but another day in the fight against homophobia and discrimination of any kind because of the sexual orientation of the individual. This date is used because the color purple represents the Rainbow Flag Gay Pride or the spirit (or so they say), in its strict meaning is magic.
But whatever the meaning of color, the important thing is to know why the celebration? and here lies its greatest importance, the day comes as a special celebration for young people who committed suicide victims of social pressure, discrimination and homophobia. For those who do not know, studies prove that the chances of suicide is 13 times higher among youth than among youth GLBTTI heterosexual and not because those are unstable, but by multiple factors, among them being the most marked self-discrimination (not accepting themselves because they look like society or their families are - or think they will be seen-) and homophobia, that is, the discrimination they are in fact victims. According to a French study, there high probability that half of adolescents who commit suicide have been gay or had doubts about his sexuality.

As they struggle against the heteronormativity that makes them feel inferior, diseased, outcasts and related to those who hold a different sexual orientation (even if they have not chosen, but simply born this way), this day like today, the community and the Gay Friendly GLBTTI or people who just are sensitized to diversity for whatever reason (have friends or family gay, trans or lesbian, for example), they decide to dress in purple, they exhibit a bond or other purple garment, public protest homophobia or simply place on your Facebook, Twitter or MSN avatar purple or alluding to date.


HAPPY PURPLE THOSE FIGHTING FOR A BETTER WORLD

(Diario La República in Peru)
"In view of the harassment that has been occurring in recent months against young gays, today thousands of people in purple on a quest called Spirit day.
The campaign, launched by a Canadian teenager, who sought a way to protest against gay bullying gay bullying, where teenagers with this sexual preference, they were harassed, leading to the assault, making their lives hell.
One of the most recent and most my attention was that of Tyler Clementi, of only 18 years, who committed suicide by jumping off a bridge in New Jersey after his roommate spread by internet a video which saw him in a sexual encounter with another boy.
day Spirit has been more welcome than expected, especially in social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, where millions of users have changed their image, or avatar, usually to lay one in purple, which represents spirit, with inscriptions against homophobia.
Many personalities have joined this crusade, as the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, talk show hosts Americans like Ryan Seacrest (host of American Idol), the Mexican singer Christian Chavez, among others .

Honey Stick In Kitchen

purple Chronicle of a Crisis Venezuela

When I was little, I heard that people commented their economic problems and very rarely knew someone who had stolen a car, at that time said that Venezuela was a country in crisis, however, everything went relatively well. Back in my teens, the biggest problem we confronted was to leave the high school and the shaman of the public high schools call us a student passenger ticket and change it throw a rotten egg.
Today Venezuela is so unlike me that paints a bleak picture and terrifying, something unfortunate for those who remain in this territory inhabited with love. To show put some examples:

1 .- Today we all know someone who has been victim of the underworld: that if he stole the car, if he was kidnapped, that if he stole the shoes, you wallet was stolen, stole his cell phone or one of the most common, being in a long line of Caracas, a motorized glass touched her hand and took his gun around.

2 .- The wages earned by Venezuelans do not even cover the basic basket, and still remain professional, you get to the age of 40 living with your parents because neither the greatest possible effort to become independent, buy apartment is impossible rents are astronomical and pay for graduate studies must be willing to leave all your salary on half pay even if it is a public university. So many professionals prefer to be taxi drivers, not by choice but because they earn more money working on that for which you study a university degree.
3 .- The rates of unemployment are very high, so if you get a job you care with your life, even if you pay peanuts, you do not like your boss or abuse. All Venezuelan knows that losing a job is the easiest way to stay idle and no earnings for a minimum of 8 months and maximum of who knows how much.

4 .- A few days ago the president "expropriated" the company Agroisleña, something that is a vulgar disguised confiscation as a result, a close relative with two children and paying a mortgage, he lost his job . How many Venezuelans have gone through something like that? We are increasingly.

5 .- A week after the government intervened Bancoro bank as a result of this cousin's sister commented that they lost the initial meeting took 10 years to buy his house, in addition do not have access to your salary.

6 .- A month ago the group Banvalor intervened as a result my family group insurance policy ran out of Hospitalization and Surgery, which certainly had cost us about 5,000 Bolivars, or nearly all our earnings, which we received in December.

7 .- If you have civil servant will have to go to the marches of those who support the government, you have forced selling raffles to finance campaigns aimed PSUV has lived close to the corruption and you know it is a lie, because you see every day and, additionally, you stay quiet because you know your right to disagree or express, simply can cost you your job.

8 .- The worst: everyone knows someone who has experienced any such situation, ie that every day the crisis grows steeper, so much so that no one escapes it.

of the above, I wonder, if you love your country, you were born here and here you live and die, educate your children and make your life Is avoid possible conflicts when you want to leave because he feels it is not possible, however much they try, achieving the "Venezuelan dream?

The only criticism I would make the film, is that the house in which live actors is in very good condition and is well known that in the Venezuelan reality, the houses of the neighborhood are small, are often badly damaged and blocks are lucky. However, I recommend you do not stop and buy yourself a handkerchief to do so.
