Facebook and its ways

According to Carlota Trevisan,in the italian La Stampa magazine,Facebook sent her a message telling her to eliminate a photo where she was kissing a girl.Because it was a simple photo of a kiss Carlota refused to eliminate it and on that same night she saw that her Facebook profile had been eliminated.
Trevisan is a 28 year old mother that on the internacional day against homophobia and transphobia put this photo to suport the cause.
Facebook probably didn't want to elimante the photo and her profile for that intention but its true that there are a lot of stupid rules on Facebook and the creator Mark Zuckerberg is trying to fix it. For all of the criticism that they recived they didn't last one single day to  give Trevisan her profile back.


Catwalk fashion real or ridiculous?

When you watch catwalk shows most of the clothes you see are very dramatic and original,but do people really wear these clothes?I think that the stuff they show isn't intended to be purchased and worn by costumers.It just shows what designers will come up with on a sheet of paper trying to think of something that hasn't been on the catwalk already.I am sure that some people buy these clothes but you probably have to be famous or have a lot of money,because a lot of people can't afford them.Thats why in my opinion,catwalk fashion is absolutly ridiculous because half of the people in the world don't wear catwalk fashion and a lot of these clothes are so transparent that you should probably walk naked around the streets anyway because it would be just the same.

Ocho apellidos vascos

Its  a Spanish comedy film directed by Emilio Martinez-Lázaro. It premiered in Spain on March 14, 2014. The film is also known as Spanish Affair.Rafa (Dani Rovira) has never left his native Sevilla, Andalusia, until he meets a Basque woman named Amaia (Clara Lago), who resists his seduction techniques. Against his friends advice, he follows her to Euskadi after she stays the night in his house and forgets her purse. A series of misunderstandings force Rafa to impersonate a full-blooded Basque with eight surnames, and get more and more entangled in that character, to get his way.

My opinion:It was a very good film but not as good as I thought it would be,because I thought it would be funnier and I didn't really like that the film was so short,the running time was only 98 minuts.




My summer job

This year is the first year that I am going to work during the summer.Because there isn't a lot of work lately, my mum that works as an english teacher has ofered me to work in her summer casal every morning of the week from 10:00 to 1:00.At first I wasn't very happy because I think that summer is for relaxing and having a good time so you can have a break from school and work.But when my mum said I would be working with small children I liked the idea a bit more because I really like working with children and it will be a great oportunity for me because I might want to be a teacher when I am older.I hope it will be a good summer for me and that I will have lots of new experiences and meet a lot of new people.

Is it correct to use animals for science?

Bilions and bilions of animals are used every year for the purposes of scientific experimentation.To my mind its the right to use some animals like rats because that way science advances with medicines and a lot of stuff that helps us.But there are other animals like gorillas and other apes that are used in different experiments and in my opinion that is very wrong.Because they are closely related to us and I feel like that is like killing a human being.

Many people say,just like Peter Singer the philosopher,that animals non human but that are aware of themselves,rational and that know the differents between the past,the present and the future,the basic abilities that a person has,can make them be called a person.

To sum up I am not totally against the use of animals in scientific purposes,but I would select very carefully the animals to be used as objects

Solutions

Our world is precious to us and we must become more aware of it.Many of our everyday actions are changing the planet permanently.Some solutions I would give to save the world before it has a tragic end would be:

1-Recycle as much as you can,to make the world a cleaner place.
2-Don't buy products with a lot of packaging,it costs more.
3-Don't leave the lights on in the house,it consums energy and money.
4-Buy fewer but better things,its quality and not quantity.
5-Use less,you will be able to save more money and possible contamination.
6-Save water,because one of these days we might not have any.

I'm sure that most of these solutions,are easy to follow and I think everybody should respect them and help save the world.


Blogging

My opinion about blogging is that its a very modern way to comunicate with the world.Personally,I dont like writing blogs because I find it a bit boring and I never have any good ideas.I think that its a very original way to learn and you probably learn much more and faster.I would probably make blogging more exiting thought because sometimes the posts we make are a bit boring and I think that we should only write what we want to express our selves how we want.Personally,I would use blogs in all of the classes and subjects because I think that it's probably one of the best ways to learn these days.The conclusion is that I like the blogging methode for learning but it should be more exiting.

Venice

After preparing my presentation about Italy and seeing that its so beautiful I have decided that I want to go to Venice.I want to go to Venice because I find it amazing that most poeple that live there don't use cars as transport,they use gondolas.They use gondolas because Venice is full of canals and most peoples houses are located on these canals.I first would like to learn a littel bit of Italian to be able to get to know some people and to be able to comuicate with people and learn more about the Italina culture and Venice.I am hoping to go this summer in August with one of my friends.I have never been on a journey without my mum so I bet that I am going to be very nervous and clumsy on the trip,but I am defenetley very looking forward to go!
