Regímenes militares: ¿orden o pérdida de libertad?

Un régimen militar es un tipo de gobierno dirigido por el ejército en lugar de políticos elegidos. Mientras algunas personas lo apoyan, otras rechazan firmemente esta forma de gobierno.

Argumentos a favor

Por un lado, quienes defienden los regímenes militares creen que pueden traer orden y estabilidad. En tiempos de crisis, algunos países han sido salvados del caos por el ejército. La corrupción puede reducirse porque los líderes militares suelen ser estrictos. Carreteras, escuelas y hospitales han sido construidos bajo control militar. En algunos casos, se ha obligado a las personas a cumplir la ley con mayor rigor, lo que puede reducir la delincuencia.

Argumentos en contra

Describing a book

Although I do not consider myself a bookworm, I must confess that the moment I started reading “A través de mi ventana”, I was captivated. At first, I thought it would be like watching paint dry, that is, a typical, hackneyed and contrived historical book. However, having never heard of Arianna Godoy, the author of this gripping novel, and as I do not like judging a book by its cover, I decided to give it a shot.

Plot

The plot is absolutely intriguing. It is quite curious and makes for good bedtime reading. It deals with a fascinating love adventure in which suspense builds up as we approach the end of the book. Raquel, the main character, who is not a university student, falls in love with one of the sons of “Los Hidalgos”,...
