The Tipping Point:

Femicide in Dominican Republic:

Dominican Republic has reached a tipping point in femicide. Each year, more than 102 women are killed by their partners of life. This wave of femicide is terrifying, so far this year more than 53 women have been killed in gender-based killings, according to the latest police figures.

According to mavens and word of mouth opinions, this high figures of femicide is triggered because of the Dominican Republic "Macho" culture, that blame the women of being abused or harassed.

The victims are usually women that have suffered domestic violence and the killers are their husbands or boyfriends, who slayed them when they dont want to go on their relationship.

Here in Dominican republic there are laws that punish femicide, eventough, these incidents are increasing more and more. In addition to this, there are activists and groups that are fighting against this situation. There are severals advertising on tv and on internet with a viral markentig and ideas virus such as "no violence", "no more victimes".

To chage this increse I think that we should work on our mental health, educate our family with love and God fair.

UNIT 7: WORKPLACE PRIVACY

Privacy is the state of not being seen by others. In different companies employers are taking the option of putting cameras and others practices of monitoring what the emploees are doing during their worktime; like cameras in front of the bathrooms, even more into the bathrooms, eavesdropping on personal telephones conversations during the workday, and reading the incoming and out going e-mails. Many employers think that they have the right to keep an eye on to evaluate their emploees and care their business, but sometimes they are invading the emploees privacy and making them feel demeaned and disrespected. Many countries have a few safeguards to protect emploees' privacy, but most countries have no laws about workplace privacy.
