MOST IN PSYCHOLOGY. USE PRESENT TENSES: SIMPLE

PRESENT PROGRESSIVE.

THE EXCESSIVE USE OF THE INTERNET

INTERNET ADDICTION

As we know, the excessive use of the internet is one of the main

problems that is Increasing in the world every day. Today teenagers use
social networks but in a bad way without parents supervision and they
also play internet games excessively

Internet addition is also known as a new addiction without drugs or

behavioral addiction. Although it is not a pathology officially accepted by
health agencies, it is an unquestionable reality. It is a real, frequent,
worrying and globalized addiction. Especially in young men with typical
problems of the adolescence, introverted personalities or other disorders
as depression.

The typical patron of a person who is addicted to the internet is: Young
people, who live in rural zones, know English and how to use the
computers, from a liberal profession, middle and upper class.

The excessive use of the internet affects physical health such as

postures, vision and psychic as well as obsessiveness, anxiety,
withdrawal.

There is the curious circumstance that there are many web pages for
detection, prevention and treatment. However, it is difficult to detect in
common healthcare due to the affected people usually do not accept
their problem, and they dont even accept that they suffer an illness so
that the relatives who realize that do not know what to do

Being permanently exposed to the excessive use of it causes fatigue that

reduces the ability to solve problems, anxiety and loss of memory and
attention

These behaviors do not only affect personal relationships but also

damage overall performance, which causes severe difficulty in the ability
of doing real and actual tasks. Daily activities are affected or interrupted
by text message alerts, emails or social network notifications. There is a
compulsion to read emails and anguish or anxiety about the possibility of
losing an "important" message. It creates the habit of doing several
things at the same time and decreases the capacity of enjoyment,
productivity and efficiency.
 This multi-tasking trend is causing exhaustion at the moment of doing
everyday tasks, from domestic tasks to work. It does not discriminate
which task is important or not, making it difficult to perform them properly.

IV. USE PERFECT TENSES (PRESENT PERFECT, and FUTURE

PERFECT) TO TALK ABOUT THE DOWN SYNDROME.

THE DOWN SYNDROME

The Down syndrome is also known as trisomy 21,It is an anomaly

where surplus genetic material causes delays in the way a child behaves
, both mentally and physically
.
The physical traits and medical problems associated with Down
syndrome have varied considerably from child to child. While some
children with Down syndrome need a lot of medical care, others lead
healthy lives

Although the Down syndrome cannot be prevented and perhaps it wont

have been prevented in the future but it can be detected before birth. The
health problems that have accompanied this syndrome have been
treated and there are many resources available to help both children
affected by this anomaly and their families.
 Normally, at the moment of the conception, a baby inherits genetic
information from its parents in the form of 46 chromosomes: 23 from the
mother and 23 from the father. However, in most cases of Down
syndrome, the child inherits one chromosome more, the number 21,
having a total of 47 chromosomes instead of 46. This is the genetic
material that causes physical traits and developmental delays associated
with Down syndrome.

Although, we dont know exactly why Down syndrome occurs and there
is no way to prevent the chromosomal error that causes it, scientists
know that women over the age of 35 have a significantly higher risk of
having a child who has this anomaly

We have to know that the Down Syndrome is not a disease but a

condition, and as a condition, it does not require any type of medical
treatment proper but the intervention of professionals specialized in the
subject to promote an adequate development, beyond the health
problems that will have carried.
