Before starting a car trip with a child, it is essential to properly secure their seat.
The verb ensure has several meanings recognized by the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ) in its dictionary. The action is linked, in different ways, to security : the condition of insurance (that which minimizes danger, lacks risk or is certain).
The first meaning mentioned by the RAE refers to the act that serves to ensure that an object or an individual remains secure or gains stability . Depending on the context, there are numerous mechanisms and resources that serve to achieve this goal.
Child safety in a car
Let's take the case of children when driving in a car. Children must travel in special chairs or seats , the characteristics of which vary depending on their age .
Before starting the trip , therefore, the seat in the car must be secured . Although the process depends on the model, they are generally installed using the vehicle's seat belt.
The next step is to secure the child in the seat . For this, the seats have harnesses and hooks or clasps that, in the event of a sudden maneuver or impact, retain the infant.
Assure something through an expression
Another use of the notion of ensuring is linked to the expression that is made without hesitation or a hint of doubt . Whoever assures something, in this way, says it with conviction and granting certainty about what is stated.
Suppose a man says to another: “Can you assure me that you will deliver my order before Friday?” . To this question, the interlocutor responds: “Yes, I assure you. Don't worry" . As can be seen in this dialogue, a person asks another person to ensure a certain issue (the delivery of an order). By ensuring such action in their response, the recipient of the request assumes a commitment.
Let's look at another example. The mayor of a city can tell the media: “I am going to make sure that every neighbor has a plate of food on their table.” With this assertion, the communal chief certifies that he will ensure that no one in his district goes hungry .
Of course, these assertions are nothing more than words; That is, they do not have a direct effect on what is expressed. Returning to the hypothetical situations raised, it is possible that the order is ultimately not delivered before the deadline and that there are citizens who still do not have the resources to buy food .
When insuring a house, the person who takes the insurance receives compensation in the event of an accident contemplated in the policy.
insurance contract
The signing of an insurance contract , which is materialized through a policy , allows different elements to be insured. By using an insurance company, you can insure real estate, automobiles, etc.
If a woman wants to insure her home, she can choose an insurance company and complete the procedure. These agreements imply that the policyholder (that is, the insured ) agrees to pay a premium to the company, while the insurer acquires the obligation to compensate or compensate the policyholder if an incident contemplated in the policy occurs.
A house fire , to mention one possibility, can cause a loss of $500,000 to the victim. If the house was insured and that type of incident appears in the policy details, the insurance firm will compensate its client with the corresponding amount.
