TATTOING

Have you ever thought getting a tattoo? Probably yes, right? Because maybe your favorite actress or player has one. Nowadays it is common that many people get tattoos. It is because we are having an influence of getting tattoos through some T.V. programs like “Miami ink” and “Inked”. These programs show us that tattoos are the most amazing experience to get one. But, have those programs shown that tattoos are bad for humans.

First, when you get a tattoo you can have problems at work because it is something that is not well seen. In some companies and corporations they do not permit employers with tattoos because tattoos can give a bad impression about their company. So, tattoos can inhibit your ability to get a job. On the other hand; some people think that companies and corporations need to respect what their employers do with their body. It in order to have a good workplace where employers can have their tattoos, but they will need to cover them. So, in that way tattoos should not be a problem at work.

Secondly, getting a tattoo has some risks that affect your health. Those risks could be blood-borne diseases. It results because if the equipment used to create your tattoo is contaminated with the blood of an infected person, you can contract a number of serious blood-borne diseases. These include hepatitis C, hepatitis B, tetanus, tuberculosis and HIV the virus that causes AIDS. Another risk is skin infections. Tattoos can lead to local bacterial infections. Typical signs and symptoms of an infection include redness, warmth, swelling and a pus-like drainage. Even though, there are people who claim that it is not going to happen if you go to the right place to get your tattoo because the tattooing process is completely sure.

Third, tattoos cannot allow you to donate blood. According to Hudson,K.L. (n.d.) “donating blood platelets or plasma has always been a noble pursuit to help those in need”. She states that “finding suitable donors has become increasingly more difficult because many people have a tattoo and the blood bank doesn't want to risk accepting contaminated blood”. ( Hudson,K.L. n.d.) Although there is a regulation that says that you can wait a year after your tattoo was applied you can donate blood. But it does not mean that it is a safe process of donating blood because you can transmit a disease to the person that needs the blood.

As a conclusion, to get a tattoo or have one is not a sin, you just need to be conscious that it can carry out some problems in your health and in your job. Also you have to consider that having a tattoo is something that you will have for the rest of your life. It is not a fashion that you can change when you want it, so it will stay forever.

ESSAY

Weddings around the globe

Do you know how weddings in different parts of the world are? Many of us have been in a wedding and we have seen that the ceremony is the same in our culture, but what about other cultures, are weddings the same to our own culture? As we know weddings may vary from country to country and it depends on its culture.

Usually, for many cultures before getting married it is necessary the proposal. For example, in the western culture the proposal is different to the Islamic culture. First, in a Western culture it is a tradition that the groom gives a ring to the girl and he asks her if she wants to get married. In contrast, in the Islamic culture the proposal occurs in a different way. The father of the groom and their close relatives visit the home of the bride to ask for her hand in marriage. It involves negotiations between the families and they have a legal agreement.

Another difference that makes the weddings different in the Western culture and in Islamic culture is the clothes of the bride and groom. In western weddings, the bride wears a white gown and the groom wears a tuxedo. However, in Islamic weddings the bride wears a dress of color black with something red. Also she has all the face covered. Bride`s hands and feet are decorated with henna. It symbolizes health, beauty, and luck. In addition, they use a lot of jewelry.

As the cultures are different in both kinds of weddings the ceremony has to be different. In western ceremonies are in this way: the bride walks to the altar in the church to join the groom. They play religious songs and read the Christian scriptures. The bride and the groom exchange the vows and finally, the wedding kiss. On the contrary, in the Islamic culture they do a henna party for the bride. In this party the groom performs a special dance with swords. Also men and women sit separately and guests bring gifts to the bride. When the bride and the groom enter in their new house they meet for the first time, then they are officially married.

As we saw weddings are different in every country and it is because of the culture. Not all the weddings are the same because each couple gives a special touch to their wedding according to their cultural beliefs. Weddings seem to be different in the world, but only one thing share in common to stay with the person that you love for the rest of your life.
