Insults, threats and indirect by WhatsApp fill the Spanish courts

WhatsApp has been incorporated into the Spanish social fabric as a key element. do my assignment uk It is the cement of the personal and work relationships of millions of people and its use continues to increase. As of today, 90.5% of Internet users in Spain use the messaging application according to figures from the Ministry of Economy. In total figures, there would be about 30 million regulars to the application of the green icon.  It is not surprising that with so many digital conversations occurring daily, our actions on WhatsApp are the focus of multiple complaints in the police stations and presented as evidence during trials throughout Spain. Slander, espionage, parental controls, and conversations in WhatsApp groups are the daily bread in the corridors of the courts.

Farewell after sharing photos of a daycare child

In June 2012, the Superior Court of Justice of Catalunya dismissed the appeal of a daycare director for disciplinary dismissal, taking as valid the decision of the company that terminated her employment for participating in a conversation where the workers commented and made jokes about the genitalia of one of the youngest members of the center.  - Has points to be the new 'tiritititutititi' Haha. - Spliced ​​!!!!!!! LOL. - Who? It is a test to prove that you are a 'nona' teacher! - Baby, they have it! LOL! - LOL! How good is the photo! - Nenas, this is child pornography! Can not be. Hahhahha - But the child is well prepared. - Hahaha. Future Nacho Vidal - Fuck that now I will look at the father with different eyes  The teacher who took the picture and shared it in the group was also dismissed by the school, which proceeded to admonish the rest of the workers present for the messages poured into the WhatsApp group.

 Fine of 6,000 euros for harassing a classmate

Between February and May 2015, two minors in Madrid insulted a classmate in written and audio messages, both by private messages and in a group with other classmates. The sentence cited expressions of "bitch, slut, bitch, I shit on your dead" and audio messages with threats to "pick her up by the hair and drag her in the door of the institute".  The young woman committed suicide on May 22, 2015. The parents denounced the threats of the comrades and the Juvenile Court of Madrid ruled in favor of the plaintiffs imposing a fine of 2,000 euros for the defendants. After the appeal of both parties, the Provincial Court of Madrid again failed on the part of the parents of the girl raising the fine to 6,000 euros. For his part, the director of the center was suspended from employment for violating the protocol of action.

Review chats with minor children

Sadly it is one of the many cases of child suicide in Spain after receiving threats and insults for WhatsApp, which has led other parents to be very aware of the damage that this application may cause in the mental health of their children.  The hearing of Pontevedra recently dismissed the complaint of a mother to her ex-husband after he reviewed the WhatsApp conversations of their children. The defendant shares the parental authority of the minors, which the court cites as a key.

The development of social networks, as is WhatsApp, requires attention and vigilance of parents to preserve the indemnity of minors

The father has the obligation, according to the magistrate "to watch over them, educate them and provide them with an integral education" and that the presence of minors in messaging platforms and social networks requires close monitoring of parents. In turn, he dismissed a possible crime of disclosure of secrets because the daughter voluntarily gave the phone to his father to review the conversations, while his brother refused to give his password to the parent.

Fined for throwing hints

The write my research paper Court of First Instance of Tui, in Pontevedra, estimated in 2016 that WhatsApp status updates of a woman reported by her ex-partner were constituting a slight offense of insults. The court considered it proven that the defendant used "her WhatsApp status to write messages about her ex-partner knowing that they could be read by their contacts and in order to undermine their dignity and their own estimation."  The public statements, short phrases that appear under the name of each WhatsApp user, can be read by all contacts added to the platform and are normally used to indicate moods or situations. In this case, the defendant was fined with 375 euros at a rate of 5 euros per day for 75 days, for status updates cited by the sentence as:  - What you now put in your mouth before was in ... (emojis of laughter) - (emojis hands with two fingers raised) bitch is one that works for his pimp q putero, who is usually a vividor and drunk and above also putero, poor (emojis of pigs) that education - Now it's week of horns in Bilbao (emojis) - Someone would have to start coming out of the closet, you just have to see what he's wearing  A later appeal in the Provincial Court of Pontevedra again failed in favor of the ex-boyfriend, leaving intact the figure of the fine imposed.

 

What you have to do to have an education system like Finnish

Every time Do my assignment that the results of the last PISA report are made public - proof that it is carried out every three years and that it evaluates the level of knowledge of 15-year-old students on an international scale - it is possible to observe that in places of privilege, those that occupy the countries with the best results, is always Finland, a country of just five and a half million inhabitants. In fact, its educational system has become a benchmark in the world. And the question is obvious: what is so special about it that makes it so effective?  One of the fundamental pillars of its educational model is its stability. Since 1978, the Scandinavian country has not completely reformed its system. "And here we have seven since the 70s," laments Albert Sangrà, professor at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) and director of the UNESCO chair.

"The educational model is not used politically there, but there is a great deal of agreement on where the education of the country should go. And that gives a certain stability, "he says. In Finland they have not modified their education system since 1978 In Finland they have not modified their education system since 1978 (LV / Xavier Gómez)  Another of the notable aspects of the model is the autonomy enjoyed by the centers. The curriculum, established by the Government, does not go into the detail of how to manage the contents in the school, "but it is the teachers themselves, who enjoy a very high prestige within society, those who apply in each center the criteria according to the typology of the school, its social context and its economic environment ", recalls Sangrà.  In this sense, it is necessary to highlight the special status enjoyed by teachers in the Nordic country. It is the profession best valued after that of firefighter, doctor and police. And the Finns give so much importance to the work that should be done by the education professional, who train future teachers accordingly. "They considered that the training of a teacher had to be at the level of that of a doctor or a lawyer, which means that they have to study for a career of about six years", remarks Lourdes Guàrdia, director of the University Master of Education and ICT of the UOC eLearn Center.

In Finland it was suggested that the training of a teacher had to be at the level of that of a doctor or a lawyer

A methodological revolution  The methodology applied in Finland is another of the pillars on which its successful education system is based. In his day, it was decided to overcome the stage of presenting the contents through the classical structure of conventional subjects, to make way for the projects. In them, different teachers can work with different groups of students at the same time.  In addition, students participate in the design and development of the activity as well as in the evaluation. "Through the projects you do not work a specific subject, but several at the same time. This method aims that students can solve problems that will surely be found in their daily lives. And that makes them study with another predisposition, also the theoretical concepts they must learn, 

The Finnish educational system places a special emphasis on group work, to the point of avoiding fostering competition among students, promoting, in their absence, the collaboration between them. And this philosophy is reflected in the evaluation system. "They do not try to put quantitative notes so that students can compare with each other, but what they do is develop reports so that the student knows where he is and how he has advanced", says Albert Sangrà, who underlines that in the end what what is intended is for the student to compete with himself.  In this sense, the evaluation of knowledge is not based on the performance of exams. "It's not your usual method," recalls Lourdes Guàrdia. "They value the process much more. Until the children finish high school they do not do exams, and they do it to have another measurement system to know at what level they are

The Finnish educational model aims for the student to compete with himself

Nor are they in favor of homework. Affordable college papers They understand that work must be done in school and that, after school hours, children have to, among other things, play. "If all the hours that the students are in class have not had enough, that means that maybe the system is not well designed," Guàrdia said.  Teachers also spend less time in the classroom. "But that does not mean that they work less," clarifies Guàrdia, "but they spend many hours designing the curriculum and individual follow-up of the student." In this aspect is where you see the bet of the Finnish State for education. "The professors make a very adapted and personalized curriculum, an aspect that has a high cost. But thanks to it they have very little abandonment. More than 90% of the students finish their studies, "recalls this UOC professor.

WHEN TO REJECT A JOB IS THE CORRECT OPTION

It may sound preposterous Assignment help and pretentious the title of this post, and more taking into consideration the difficult times that run, but knowing how to reject a job offer on time can save our professional career.  We start from the basis that the decision to search or change work arises from different vital and individual moments of each professional. The most obvious is when you have no job and are determined to join the labor market no matter what. Your attitude towards employment in this case should not convey need or anxiety, you are a professional who for various reasons, is in a period of transition to employability.

Not everything goes in the search of employment and accepting any job should not be your first choice since this, in the long term, will take you to a permanent state of frustration. On other occasions, this reflection of change is motivated by not feeling self-actualized in your job and we are looking for another option that gives us more economic and personal stability. It is also the case that even though we are satisfied with our current position, we decided to look for new challenges and motivations that are more aligned with our goal, in a broader sense, of seeking happiness.  Whatever your situation is, if a job offer arises (sought by you or proposed by a third party) it is honest to admit that the job they offer is not for you and to say that it will NOT be the right option. The future, by analyzing the situation in perspective, will confirm that we did the most appropriate.


We should not blind ourselves to offers that offer an apparent economic or employment security, as they can cause us to make a hasty and erroneous decision. We must focus on the essence and values ​​of the company and especially on the quality of the position they offer us. For this we must be very clear about what we want and know where we bring a differential value that makes us valuable in that company.pay to have research paper written It will be key to have control and manage the perspectives of our career to mark the next steps, since all the great changes always arise from reflection, planning and strategy. It's scary to say NO and reject what a priori seems a great professional option, but being brave, persistent and having clear ideas, after the fifth: "Thanks for thinking about me, but at this moment I'm looking for another type of challenges" The great opportunity that will give meaning to this process of change that we call life can come.

Make your skills look like talent

Lately we talk a lot about Assignment help service the skills that workers have or should have; however, I think we tend to confuse what is skill and what is talent. We all have some kind of skill and also talent, but they do not always have to coincide and, much less, we emphasize precisely what we are good at doing.  Talent is innate. They are a series of skills, characteristics or outstanding skills of a person to perform a specific task. That is, the ability we have to stand out from the rest in doing something determined or to learn to do something defined before the others. 

We find a lot of examples in the world of Art-Beethoven in music, Goya in the pictorial, Michelangelo in sculpture, Cervantes in writing, Montserrat Caballé in lyrical singing, etc.-  We develop the ability when we strive to do something that we like very much, even we are passionate, but it is not an aptitude that we have been born with and, therefore, we have to practice a lot to get good.  Once this 'small' difference is pointed out, I believe that with effort we can make the skills look like talent. The key lies in time. While a talented person spends little time learning something, a person who works that skill spends more time learning and practicing it, but can do as well as the gifted.  I am sure that all the dancers of the Bolshoi Ballet, one of the most famous in the world, do not cost the same to become stars of this art. Some will have to train many more hours than others, but when they act we can not distinguish which of them is the one that has dedicated the least hours, since they all transmit the same passion and perfection.

In a company, talent is the differential value par excellence. That is why all companies struggle to attract the best talent to their teams. Talent that, of course, is distributed in all the "tasks" that take place in it, not only to high positions.  From the point of view of the hiring party: do you imagine that your company is made up of people who are not only able to do their work perfectly, but also like and get the best out of it? It would be amazing! For the moment, I think it's something utopian, at least in companies with a considerable number of employees, but I do not rule out that in the future it can be achieved.  From the point of view of the part that seeks work: Can you imagine that it is the companies that come looking for you and not that you are the one who has to send thousands of CVs to find a job?  If you are looking for a job, I recommend that you first dedicate some time to find out what you really like, even if you think you are not qualified for it. And, once you're convinced, look for who or what can help you achieve your goals.

 I know pay someone to write a research paper that in many occasions it is not easy to find time to prepare, either because we have to work on something else to be able to finance our life, including the family if we have it, or because we do not live near those people who can prepare us. This problem today is much reduced by the ease of communications and training through the Internet - or for any other type of cause, but I am also convinced that all people who excel in something costs effort , maybe sleep less hours, maybe steal part of the time you spend with your family or friends, maybe temporarily cornering your hobbies ... maybe even everything together.  Now, I can not help it, the elite athletes come to mind.

France gives WhatsApp a month to stop transferring user data to Facebook

The French National Assignment writing service uk Commission for Information Technology and Liberties (CNIL) has demanded that WhatsApp stop sharing data about its users with its parent company, Facebook, within a month. The French agency has ensured that this transfer of information between companies violates the Data Protection Law of the country.  In a statement released yesterday the CNIL has ensured that WhatsApp refused to offer a sample of data from French users that are transferred to Facebook, arguing that having its headquarters in the United States, it can only be subject to the legislation of this country. In this way, the gala commission has understood that the application has committed a "violation of its obligation to cooperate" that establishes Article 21 of the French Data Protection Law.  In this way, the CNIL has decided to formally notify WhatsApp that it has a month to comply with this law, and also questions that the messaging "app" contributes to increase the amount of information that Facebook has at its disposal ", among which includes data from people not registered in the social network.  If WhatsApp does not comply with the requirement, the CNIL will commission an "internal investigator" to draft a report where the imposition of a "sanction against the company" will be proposed.

The CNIL has recalled that the WP29 - European conglomerate of homologous organizations - requested explanations to the messaging application before having updated this Terms of Service and its Privacy Policy in August 2016, to transfer data from its users to Facebook with directed advertising, security and improvement of services. WP29 also demanded at that time to stop sending data for advertising purposes.

WhatsApp defends itself :

WhatsApp assured the CNIL that the data its ten million users in France "had never been processed" with this objective. However, the French agency detected "violations" of the Data Protection Law of the country, since it verified that WhatsApp does transfer to its parent company information of its users for 'business intelligence' and for security reasons, among which find phone numbers or usage habits of the application. someone to write a research paper According to the CNIL, the security reasons "seem to be essential" for the efficient operation of WhatsApp, but "this is not the case of 'business intelligence' purposes, whose objective is to improve performance and optimize the use of the application" through the analysis of the behavior of its users ". Thus, the transfer of data to Facebook for this purpose "is not based on the legal basis required by the Data Protection Law for any processing," the entity has indicated.  The French commission has affirmed that "neither the consent of the users, nor the legitimate interest of WhatsApp" can be used as arguments in favor of this process, since it understands that the approval of the transfer of information is not requested in a manner " specific "to the users. In addition, he has assured that this sending of data does not offer the "adequate" guarantees that "preserve the interest or fundamental freedoms" of the users, since there is no mechanism that allows them to reject it, beyond uninstalling the application itself.  After the change of its Terms of Service and its Privacy Policy, the European Union demanded that WhatsApp in October 2016 not continue with the exchange of data with Facebook. The application responded to this warning that no transfer had started. Previously, the Spanish Agency for Data Protection (AEPD) initiated an official investigation that same month to examine the communications of personal data made between the 'app' and its parent company.

The automation of processes with robots will be practically universal in five years

The automation of processes Cheap assignment writing service through robots will be practically universal within five years if the current pace of adoption is maintained, according to a study prepared by Deloitte that emphasizes that the use of Robots - Robotics Process Automation (RPA) - is consolidating itself as " the lever of transformation of the companies ".  In particular, the report The robots are ready. Are you? (The robots are ready, are you?) It notes that 53% of the 400 companies consulted by the professional services firm indicates that they are already immersed in RPA implementation processes, to which is added that an additional 19% which has among its plans to adopt this technology in the next two years.  "If the trend is maintained at the same pace, RPA will have reached almost universal adoption in the next five years," says Deloitte, adding that this figure coincides with the growing perception that this technology "already mature and contrasted" implies "a opportunity to increase productivity in numerous processes that occur in the different operational areas of a company. "  In this regard, it is pointed out that 64% of respondents currently consider that RPA is a key strategic value, while twelve months ago, only 15% considered it an integral part of the corporate business project.

Free 20% of human work

Respondents think on average that 20% of the capacity of a full-time employee can be released by the use of robots. Among companies that have already incorporated the automation of their processes on a large scale this percentage grows to 52%.  "This represents a great advance in the management of human teams, as it allows talent to move from simple and repetitive activities to tasks with much more added value, as well as an improvement in the work experience of the company's professionals" says the consultant.

Benefits of robotics

On the other hand, the report highlights that the main advantages experienced by organizations that have made a correct transition to RPA are the reduction of costs (59%), the drastic reduction of errors and an increase in quality (90 %), an increase in productivity (86%) and high compliance (92%), among others.  In addition, he adds that the return on investment of the implementation of this type of process is "very high". In fact, the companies that have incorporated RPA expect an average repayment period of 9.3 months, while the ROI achieved by those that already have a system implemented globally has been 11.5 months.  In his opinion, these are the reasons why 78% of those who have already implemented RPA expect to "significantly" increase their investment in this technology in the next three years.  someone write my research paper At the same time, the resistance of employees to an RPA implementation process has been considerably reduced compared to a year ago. Only 17% of the interviewees said they had faced some resistance from their employees in front of a pilot project, a percentage decreases to 3% with respondents who are already implementing RPA.  "To give an idea of ​​volumes, a company with an average turnover of 9,000 million and 25,000 employees, can generate a net annual benefit of more than twelve million euros each year with only the automation of 20% of its activity" , indicates the responsible partner of Robotics in Deloitte, Luis González Gugel.

How to create an educational system that creates leaders and not civil servants?

According to the Human Economic Report Assignment writing service of the World Economic Forum, more than a third of the organizations interviewed reported that they had difficulties finding talent and more than half foreshadowed that the lack of talent would have a negative impact on the results of their business. However, according to the study, the amount of human talent in the world is enormous. To unlock it, governments, business leaders and educational institutions must make significant changes.

The "official" syndrome

In this sense, one of the biggest challenges that Spain has to overcome is the change in the education system. It is urgent that schools teach future generations the skills required in today's world and facilitate the development of their full potential.  This very necessary change must especially address the way in which students contemplate their professional careers, which in Spain is one of the most important deficiencies of the system, representing a clear obstacle to economic growth. 

During my years in high school and college, I always wondered why the best students wanted to become civil servants. Why would the most talented comrades, with great intellectual capacity and enormous potential, choose the easiest and most comfortable way of a life dedicated exclusively to public services?  At that time, I received several reasons, the most repeated:  a) a job that is not too demanding with fixed and limited hours  b) Lifelong job security due to not being fired.

However, in more advanced countries, the majority of the most talented students dream and work to become business leaders, managers, doctors, researchers, innovators, journalists, consultants, lawyers, etc. Many of them decide to start their own business to have a greater impact in the world.  During the last years, I have been investigating how the education system could be transformed to create leaders and not civil servants. How can we educate and encourage future generations to take more risks, be more curious, be more ambitious and have more faith in their potential? How can they develop a broader career and achieve a greater impact on the development of our country?

Evolution of educational systems

Analyzing briefly the evolution of education in the last 2,500 years, we see that we have gone from developing mainly warriors, philosophers, athletes, during the Greek and Roman periods; to the preparation of doctors, priests, writers, poets, astronomers, during the Middle Ages.  Modern education systems in Europe derive their origins from the schools of the early Middle Ages. Most schools during this era were founded on religious principles with the primary purpose of training the clergy. Education during this long period was mainly private.  Since the beginning of education systems, handicrafts and commerce have followed a different path, parallel to the mainstream of education. It was primarily a development path for poor and middle class families who could not afford to pay the high costs of school. The learning was done directly in the workshops from very early ages, which provided education, but in turn provided a job with some income to support families.  During the eighteenth century, governments' interest in education increased and led to the current system, which focuses on generalist rather than specialized development. The objective of the remodeling was to create "new citizens". At the end of the 19th century, most politicians in Europe saw education as a necessary element for applied political behavior and "produce obedient citizens".  Despite numerous subsequent improvements, the current education system remains focused mainly on this conformity and generalization.

Learning in the 21st century

 

Organizations pay to have a research paper done are looking for a new set of skills and abilities. A mixture of traditional themes with new fields, combined with strong interpersonal skills.

One of the most important initiatives in this field has been the P21 Framework for 21st Century Learning (P21 Framework for the 21st Century Learning), developed with the contribution of teachers, education experts and business leaders in order to determine and illustrate the skills and knowledge that students need to be successful at work today. As well as the support systems necessary for the new learning to have positive results. These are the main components of the framework for 21st century skills.

Traditional topics: reading, writing, mathematics, science, foreign languages, economics, arts, history and geography.

New skills: Students need to learn academic content, but in turn they also need to know how to learn and continue to learn - and make effective and innovative use of what they know - throughout their professional lives.

These skills are:

- Critical thinking and problem solving

- Communication

- Creativity and innovation

- Collaboration

- Contextual learning

Technology: The learning of new technologies is nowadays something fundamental. Students must be able to use technology to learn content and skills - so that they know how to learn, think critically, solve problems, use information, communicate, innovate and collaborate in their work.

Interpersonal Skills: These are one of the great additions in the new pedagogy and include:

 -Leadership

- Ethics

- Communication

- Public speaking

- Responsibility

- Adaptability

- Self-confidence

- Self-direction

- Social responsability

- Focus

Teaching method: Traditional classroom teaching should change to one based on projects and interactivity. Students will be presented with a problem and encouraged to work as a team to arrive at a solution. The presentations and the discussion with the class will be the way to learn and to teach.

Evaluations: One of the main changes introduced is the way in which students are evaluated. Nowadays, more assessments are standardized and can measure only some of the important skills and knowledge that students should learn. Evaluations should measure the five outcomes that matter - the core issues; new content; Learning and thinking skills; ICT Literacy; And life skills. To be effective, sustainable and affordable, evaluations must use modern technologies to increase efficiency and timeliness.

Mentality change

As I explained in the introduction to the article, apart from the proposed changes, it is essential that they be accompanied by an important mental transformation in the way in which children are taught.

Very few students choose to be officials when asked about their passion as children. Teachers need to inspire students to find and develop their passion from the early stages of their education. Teachers must act as teachers, and at the same time as facilitators.

Students have to be encouraged to take risks, to try new things and to explore different paths. The system has to stop penalizing the error. Instead, you have to accept it and teach how to draw lessons learned to be better. Undoubtedly, this will become one of the most valuable life skills they learn in school.
