Unit four, titled tipping point, is focused on the book written by Malcolm Gladwell's which has the same name.
The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference is the debut book by Malcolm Gladwell, first published by Little Brown in 2000. Gladwell defines a tipping point as "the moment of critical mass, the threshold, the boiling point". The book seeks to explain and describe the "mysterious" sociological changes that mark everyday life. As Gladwell states: "Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread like viruses do". The examples of such changes in his book include the rise in popularity and sales of Hush Puppies shoes in the mid-1990s and the steep drop in New York City's crime rate after 1990. (Google, Wikipedia).

Taking this subject to compare with my life;
I Could relate two primordial moments in which greats changes appeared to, wich could be called tipping point. When I gave birth to my children were events that marked my life positively in a great way. From that moment I understood that I had a reason to fulfill my dreams and go ahead. Another fact that divided my life into a before and after, was to stop being police officer. This was something that I felt was holding me back, in both  the professional and moral ambit. Stay getting orders from people with less capacity than me, no preparation, dishonest people... it's frustrating. Due to this, to quit was to climb several steps in my life.

Workplace privacy. Sources; from Internet.

          Technology allow employers to monitor many aspects of their employees' workplace activities. while employees may feel that such monitoring is a violation of their privacy rights,many types of monitoring are allowed under the law. A nayority of employers monitor their employees. They are motivated by concern over litigation and the increasing rol that electronic evidence plays in lawsuits and government agency investigations.           Almost everything you do on your office computer can be monitored. Such monitoring virtually unregulated, therefore ,unless company policy specifically state otherwise ( and even is not assured),your employes may listen , watch and read most of  your workplace communications. Courts often have found that when employees are using an employer's equipment, their expectation of privacy is limited.           I's important to be aware that your employer's promises regar...

The Bold and the Bashful

Hello, everyone, We all certainly have personality traits that distinguish us from each other. Unit three tells us about two very specific features, which are boldness and bashfulness. In my view, it is funny to see that people would talk about these two features as completely separated from each other to describe others. That is, I do not believe they can be used this way. We cannot use either of these adjectives to entirely describe a person because no one is one thing or the other in its entirety. That is to say, even the people you might consider that possess a great amount of boldness are somehow also bashful, and the same thing occurs with people who are bashful; they can also be bold depending on the circumstances. I was very curious about how these two terms were being employed since in my particular case, even though I am more of an introvert, I consider myself to be both bold and bashful. I am selectively one thing or the other, and the degree to which I can act in a...

🕊️Spiritual Renewal🕊️  Unit 6 ✝️To replenish my soul, to be closer to God, walk with him, and lead a better life you have to read or study the Bible, and when you do it, ask God to give you the wisdom to understand it, to understand the message, you can learn a verse each week or each month, You can make "cilicios" and fast, people do not like to fast or sometimes time is not enough, as we saw in unit 6. If they knew how important it is to fast, that it can help them both in the physical and spiritual lives, They did it; but the best thing of all is to pray, to connect with God, humble yourself before God, Tell him what is happening to you, talk to him, and don't be proud, be humble.✝️ Finally I want to share with you a link or a video about the prayer. Why it is important to pray, how do it, etc I love to pray and worship my God 😍 https://youtu.be/Cav8cJrqcco God Bless You!!!
