Racism


Even this days racism is a problem that still exist .One problem is that many children are bullied every day just because they are from a different country and have another skin color or culture , some kids find difficult to be accepted . When it comes to finding a job sometimes they get rejected them in most of them even if they are better qualified for the job that someone else , just because the have another nacionality. They always end up doing the worsts jobs , those ones that nobody want to do.And maybe the more important problem that comes with racism is that people are still being killed and we almost see it as something normal.

To stop racism , goverments from all over the world should invest in policies meant to approach people dispite their nacionalities , religion and culture. They should try to educate their own citizens about how important is to respect other people . They should also make them understand how much we can learn from each other.

What is the difference between classical music and rock music ?

This two type of music are so different from each other . Rostropovich creates music that bring you peace , music that makes you feel relaxed while you are listening to it while Johnny Rotten compose muscic that make you feel energetic . We usually listen to clasical music when we want calm , some people can concentrate better when they have classical  music on , but rock music is definitely not the kind of music you listen to when you want to relax . Also when it comes to make mistake on the stage with Rostropovich this ones are more noticeable due to the public is in silent .On the other hand if rock artist like Johnny Rotten make a mistake the public can help them because they sing with them and maybe they wouldn't even notice the mistakes sometimes . The style of clothes are also different , classical musicians have to dress properly and smart . However , rock artist can dress how they want to . This two type of music have a lot of differences but the important thing is that both make people enjoy the moment and have a good time .

Unconditional Basic Income

Thanks to the video we can have an idea of what an Unconditional Basic Income is .From my point of view the UBI is good system to reach almost an economic equality. It defenetly have some advantages like for example it gives and opportunity to everybody who wants to be creatived and work in something the they  are pasioned about due to they don´t have to do it for obligation , for just get the money .In this system works  who really want to . But as we know , not all the people are the same and difenetly someone would take advantage of this and become lazy because someone will do the job anyways . But there is one important thing that this system can  achieve and it is fulfil the basics needs . Everybody will have this UBS regardless of your wealth , it wouldn´t end with the poverty but it would help to  those who aren´t as lucky as we are to have a better live . There is a lot of to improve in this system due to not everybody have good intentions and want the best for everybody . Some people want just what is better for them so if they live a good life why would they help the rest . Thankfully not all the people are the same and maybe one day the UBI will work if everybody take part in it .

Gernica

The Gerninca is a very famous painting from the Spanish Civil War . The first thing that comes into my mind when I see this painting is mess.Nothing seems really clear and you can defently see the pain through this artwork . It makes me feel anxious , there is a lot of suffering . "People" that look desesperatly  for help but nobody can save them, because maybe it´s too late. I can feel the confusion , not really knowing what it is happening .  It makes me feel sad , and empathy although I have not experince that I can defenetly understand the feelings thanks to the paint . It was a time of darkness that no one want to remember .
