Who must I vote for? Do politicians always say the truth? Or are they always lying? It is a well-known fact that nobody tells the truth if it can benefit them so, what should be done to stop this kind truth?
ResponderEliminarFirst of all, let us try to understand the way of voting we have. On the one hand, the traditional, which refers to a dynasty we have had some time ago; it consists that the power is taken by the next progenitor of the family who has been ruling in a place. On the other hand, and the most sensible is to vote for the party which gives us more benefits or simply, that benefits the majority.
Talking about election campaigns, in the period of elections, there are such a great number of candidates and they give talks to explain what would they do if the won elections. They always told us that they are going to do the best for the inhabitants, but.. do they really do what they promise? It is universally acknowledged that they talk more than they do. Nevertheless, not only it happens in the biggest cities but also it happens in such little towns.
As I see it, I don't really agree with politicians, they are always looking for their benefit. They should change their mind and do the best for all the population. We ought to do something right now taking part in any association against their method and try to find the best for the majority.

Nowadays, we live in a society where politicians are always lying. Do they always tell the truth? What would it happen if we didn't vote for them? When you use the expresion it won't wash you mean an idea is unconvincing and won't work.
ResponderEliminarTo begin, I'm going to talk a bit about some politicians from our country who have committed tax fraud. One of the most popular scammer is Luis Bárcenas who belonged to PP political party. He was charged by El Caso Gürtel and El Caso Bárcenas. Another famous scammer was Rodrigo Rato who belonged to PP political party. He spent four years in jail for a continuing felony misappropriation. José Antonio Griñán Martínez defrauded too. He was acussed by the false ERE. These are some of the hundreds of politicians who have defrauded in our country.
On the day that elections are held, each political party has an electoral plan for its government. The most of electoral plans won't wash with the population, but they should choose the one that fits best to the mayority of them. There are a big number of candidates for each political party and they give rallies, explaining us what they would do if they won the election. Most times they don't accomplish what they say.
From my point of view, we shouldn't vote for them because of many persons in their political parties have defrauded and they still are free. The polity is something that has greatly damaged the image of our country because of the corruption.

The FBI is a really important organization in the United States. They help keep people safe from bad guys and solve crimes. The FBI stands for Federal Bureau of Investigation. They have a lot of agents who wear cool suits and badges.
ResponderEliminarThe FBI was started a long time ago, in 1908. It was created to fight crime across the country. They investigate all sorts of crimes, like bank robberies, kidnappings, and even terrorism. They work with other police agencies to catch the bad guys.
The FBI has a lot of different departments, like the Cyber Division, which helps stop hackers and cybercriminals. They also have a Behavioral Analysis Unit that studies criminals' behavior to catch them better.
Sometimes, the FBI agents go undercover to catch criminals. They might pretend to be someone else to get close to the bad guys.
The FBI headquarters is located in Washington, D.C., but they have offices all over the country. These offices are called field offices, and they help the FBI agents investigate crimes in their local areas.
The FBI has a special team called the Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) that is trained to handle dangerous situations like hostage crises and terrorist attacks.
One of the most famous things about the FBI is their Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. This is a list of the most dangerous criminals that the FBI is looking for. They put up posters and share information to try to catch these fugitives.
The FBI also has a lot of cool technology that they use to solve crimes. They have forensic labs where they analyze evidence like fingerprints, DNA, and ballistics. They also use surveillance cameras and wiretaps to gather information on criminals.
