I guess, it is about that why does this happen (bad things) to good people, maybe this article try to explain the reason , because most people think that is strange that this people (good people) bad thing happen.

 

5: Read the article and describe what you understand of it in as much detail as possible.

      

     God is not to blame who we pass something wrong. He only whant good for us , but when something is happen suddenly , web lame god. The bible states : “Time and unexpected events overtake them all.” It meansfor example recently haiti in January 2010

      a lot of people died. The people claimed these bodies, but they don’t  knowing this people. Most people asking why happen this thing? But all people say ‘God should intervene in that’ it means that the people bealive that god nows all, but god not olny serves               to tell us the future .

      God  knows what does he do, he wants good for us.

    In conclusión God’s exercise of foreknowledge is selective and discretionary.

    

      Also most people say that cause of this is the karma but god says the died is cause of the  disobedience of Adan. A million of people explain that the suffering is the cause of karma but it is not true, because they humans would be accept the suffering both of the others as. This ideas is very different that the bible says.

Clearly god is not responsable for bad thing that will be happen, also the sufferin of people.

Listening log 02:

The video it's about of an interview with Dr. Gary Small. He says, the people's challenge, is to stop use technology, all time. Although technology have advantage to make people's activities easier and faster, Tech also have potential downsides for our brains like; makes difficult the conversations face to face, people in computer can do an task and at the same time another task, from the viewpoint of Dr. Gary, people get distracted very easy because our brains  acostumbrate to make multitask at the same time. But the doctor tells us some solutions to combat this problem, for example to Doctor says that we must focus on one task at time because if we concentrated in one thing, we can understand easily a conversation face to face. Second, people should take off-line breaks, because our devices, cellphones, pc are bad for our mind's healthy, we could go out and walk por 20 minutes if we work, but stay a little far of tech.
