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.

The most important person of his life doesn't love him anymore, so why live ?
He feel like now is the moment , the men close his eyes , take a deep breath and thinking in all  his memories as a child jump of  the building ,  close his eyes harder waiting to hit the ground but that doesn't happend. The man is now in another world a different dimension , it feels like heaven but he has never felt more alive , so what is this strange place ?

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 .

Describing someone

One person that I defenetly look up to is my dad. He is almost like a friend to me . I look a lot like him , he have brown eyes , grey hair ,he is short and slim and .Although he doesn´t have a degree he is a very intelligent person and I have learnt a lot of things from him . We get on very well but we also fight a lot , most of the time for stupid things , maybe is beacuse we have a similar personality but he usually forgive me very quickly He work very hard and I admire him for that and he is always making sure me and my brother have everything we need  .He is a very friendly person and all my friends like to spend time with him , he is always telling us where we can go and things we can do , because he is always out with friends , I think that he likes to party a lot more than me and my friends .He likes listening to music , fashion and cars . When I go shopping he is actually the fist person I ask to come with me because he has a very good taste . I also like listening to music with him while we are in the car because we like similar kind of music , I think is because when I was little he used to put me music to go to bed and that was the only way I would fall asleep . You will never get bored with him , he is very funny , in fact I have gone to London and New York the past two summers only with him and I have had the best time . He is very strict when he has to be but I know he along with my mum want the best for me .

Three types of brainstorming

The last Friday in practice class the teacher taught us three ways of brainstorming .  

Brainstorming consist in collect ideas about a topic before you write your essay in order to have all your ideas organised.

There are three types of brainstorming , the first one is making a list of ideas that are connected to your topic. It could be words o short sentences and you don´t have to write them in a specific order , just  whatever comes into you mind .

The second one is freewriting , you just have to write for around 10 minutes .The key is not to stop writing ,   

it doesn´t matter if something you write don´t make sense , you can fix that later . The more you write ,the better.

And the last one , which is the one that I prefer is mapping . You put the topic in the middle and all the   ideas around the topic in a circle , the ideas can be connected with the topic or with another idea . Maybe it   takes longer but I think with just a look you can see which ones are the main ideas and which ones are secondary ideas. It helps you a lot while you are writing your essay.
