Biofuels (page 330)

The picture was taken at a gas station, and we can see on the right,  a fuel pomp that distributes the liquid, and on the left, and advertisement that promotes the use of biofuels, and indicate the type and percentage of gasoline that people are going to use.

This picture, is a funny representation of biofuels. In the middle there are a human hand holding a pod corn that simulate a fuel pomp. Probably, this indicates to the spectator the possibility to use biofuel as an easy and cheap solution to not contaminate more the planet.

Activity Class

Why are social groups so important at your school? How can you identify them?

Cultural identity is an important factor for the development of the society or an specific social group. Many people, belong or is identified with this kind of associations, looking at them the possibility to creat a kind of micro space in which feel secure and comfortable to develop in a good way in the world, being able to relate with people like them and not fell discriminated or simply uncomfortable in a space ”that is not theirs”. Given the constant changes in our behavior, along with the innovation and creativity of human beings, they have opened many spaces where the so-called subcultures have emerged.

In my school live daily around 1,000 people, a fairly large amount that invites to generated this kind of subcultures. It is practically impossible having that quantity of people inside of school that come from different parts of the country or sometimes of the world have the same interests or preferences and attractions.
