Agriculture is a very important economic activity worldwide.
An activity is an action that an individual or an institution carries out on a daily basis, as part of their obligations, tasks or functions. For example: "My activity in the company consists of checking the machines to carry out preventive maintenance and repair those that are not working correctly" , "Tomorrow the teacher will tell us what activity we will have to carry out in the Radio Workshop" , "Due to a strike, next Tuesday there will be no banking activity .
Activity is a concept that comes from the Latin word activĭtas . This term is the result of the sum of three clearly differentiated components such as the following: actus , which can be translated as "carried out"; -ivo , which is used to indicate active or passive relationship; and the suffix -dad , which is used to indicate "quality."
Economic activity
An economic activity is a process that involves the production and/or exchange of services and goods with the purpose of satisfying human needs. This type of operation , therefore, usually involves the obtaining, processing and marketing of raw materials.
Agriculture , in this framework, is an economic activity. This activity is classified as primary , since it is limited to extracting natural resources (planting and harvesting corn, to name one possibility). A secondary economic activity is one aimed at modifying natural resources (such as processing corn to market it canned as preserves). In the case of services , they are classified as tertiary economic activities (they do not produce or sell physical goods: Internet connection service, hotels, etc.).
The concept as a process or action
At a general level, the notion of activity refers to the movement , task or process linked to a certain sector or area. In this way, we can talk about work activity , volcanic activity , physical activity , cultural activity and many others.
In the same way, we cannot ignore the existence of what is known as leisure activities . This term includes all those that can be done to fully enjoy free time, the time you have to enjoy hobbies, interests, passions... That is, the time that has nothing to do with your professional schedule or commitments. personal.
Thus, for example, in this category we find cultural or hiking routes, bicycle rides, sports such as climbing or mountaineering, dining in restaurants, spa sessions and trips to the theater or the cinema .
Cycling is a leisure activity chosen by people of all ages.
The work activity
Work is called work . Given the enormous variety of jobs that exist, this activity can involve the execution of very diverse actions.
The activity of a worker is linked to their role in the company and the characteristics of the sector in which they work. In any case, when working there is always a mission that must be carried out responsibly to achieve the goal or objective set.
A work activity, therefore, is carried out with a purpose . When deployed within the framework of a private company whose purpose is to make a profit, the activity has to offer a certain result since, if the performance is not as expected, the employer can decide to terminate it.
It is important to indicate that work activities are remunerated : the person obtains payment for what they do. This remuneration allows him to support himself and satisfy his basic needs, at least in theory.
Example of paid work
An example of a work activity is the work performed by a waiter or waiter in a restaurant . This employee has to enter the establishment at a certain time, dress in a certain way, and do his job for the number of hours stipulated in his agreement.
As part of his work activity, the waiter must approach the table when a customer arrives and take their order to communicate it to the kitchen. Once the order is prepared, it has to be brought to the table. In addition, you must remain attentive to any requests from the diner.
The waiter usually receives a salary for fulfilling his job duties. You usually also make extra money from customer tips .
The importance of activity management
It must be taken into account that, in addition to those who carry out a specific work activity, other people are responsible for planning , managing and supervising the actions carried out in a company or business. For these directors or executives, their work activity consists of said coordination and control .
The general manager of a company, to mention one case, can dedicate himself to analyzing how to achieve an improvement in the productivity and efficiency of the organization . For this, you will have to monitor the activities carried out by the firm's employees, carrying out an evaluation to determine what should be changed.
The proper management of the activities carried out in a company contribute to its growth . Promoting innovation and encouraging adaptation are issues that, in a broad sense, enable the progress of a firm.
Paranormal activity cannot be explained by science.
The paranormal
The idea of paranormal activity covers those phenomena that have to do with ghosts, spirits, specters and other elements that escape all reason. These are supposed realities that cannot be explained by science and that transcend the rational.
Telepathy , communication with the dead and fortune-telling are practices that can be classified as paranormal: there is no evidence to show that they are possible. Disciplines focused on this type of phenomena are known as pseudosciences since, although they present themselves as scientific, they lack the rigor and methods necessary to access such consideration.
In this sense we have to highlight the existence of a film titled "Paranormal Activity" . It is a film released in 2007 and of the horror genre that is directed by Israeli Oren Peli . It tells the story of a couple for whom it is really difficult to live in their home because there is an entity that overwhelms them, scares them and blocks them.
