First Article

SUMMARY 1

The government of Kenya ordered, all the refugees that live in urban areas, to return to their camps, to end attacks by armed groups. Kenyans were asked also to report any refugees or illegal immigrants outside the overcrowded camps. This movement, although they say it is an "emergency", has been criticised by groups that have discouraged similar actions in the past. The only problem is that they can't see the differences between the Somalians and the Kenyans.

This article also explains the costs of studying and living abroad. There are difficulties for students in term of their economy and the money they have, but it is very important to take advantage of this opportunities.

Biofuels replaces oil.


  • The image suggests that in the present days, biofuels have to be more used because the oil in the cars produces lots of pollution and if we replace them, contamination can be avoided.
  • One thing that the images reminds me of is 
  • There is an interesting debate about this topic because there are some people that believe that this replacement have to be made and there are some people that still defends the use of petrol. 
  • Perhaps it could also link to science and technology and also to cultural diversity. Because without the use and advances of science this couldn't be discovered. and to cultural diversity because in very polluted countries maybe people will emigrate to another countries and there will be more cultural diversity.
