HUMAN RIGHTS

MY OPINION ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS 

This term we have seen The declaracion of human rights and now I'm going to expose my opinion about them.

 As a humans that lives in comunity and that have the feature to be rational and intelligents beings, we are able to do whatever we want. This power has been used to do a lot of things that are unethical and that doesn't make the whole human beings  to have certain rights that are necessary in order to live better and don't suffer injustice.

So for my The declaration of human rights is really important as is a ethical, fair, necessary and equal document that as the objective to make the society better regardless the different countries and cultures.


So I stand for them and I only regret that although the objective is clear, this document hasn't been accepted as a political document in all countries. So still is not put into practice.

Are love limits romantic or a menace? Write for or against essay about this practice

LOVE LIMITS

There are a lot of kinds of relation as well as different ways to love and diferent kinds of people, and as a result everybody has his opinion about love.

Now I'm going to explain mine about love limits.

For me, love limits are not a menace. Two people who decide to be together, at the same time they are deciding the kind of relation they want. For people who want an open relationship where they can stay with other people, love limits can be a menace. For others that love just one person and are not interested in other people in a sexual way, love limits are romantics or, directly there aren't considerated limits, as proves to the other that his love is restrict and special.

So in conclusion the opinion of love limits it really depends on people. Some could feel it like menace, others like romance, and it's alright.

Write an speech addressed to the UNO general delegates denouncing the resourgence of slavery.

THE RESOURGENCE OF SLAVERY

Hello everybody if I'm here in front of all of you is because not everything is going right and althrough it's a shame there are still serious problemes that attempt the dignity apart of other humans rights.

The resourgence of slavery proves that there are political and social systems that are not focused and doesn't take care of their habitants. To be free of slavery is a human right as well as many others that are not being followed is the conditions of a slave . They are not treated like humans.

It seems crazy and impossible this condition that only shows the immaturity of people who controls the power. Said that, I think things can't continue like this so: What are we going to do?

You are an Erasmus student. One professor asks you to talk to your class about the Catalan language and culture. Write the text of your presentacion.

CATALUNYA  

Catalunya is a rich community for so many things. I was born there and I love my country so I would like you to know how it is. 

First of all Catalunya is a very nice place, with beaches with crystal waters and a lot of nature and mountains. Apart of the landscapes the culture is also rich and important. There are typical dances and songs like "la sardana" and also we have a language that is just spoken here.
From other part the food is amazing and the Mediterranean diet is one of the best of the world. Nevertheless we have important painting and scultures as well as buildings like "Sagrada familia" by Gaudí.

In conclusion for these things and so many others, Catalunya is a really nice place to visit. I hope you do it one day.

Spain is significantly below the OECD average in PISA test. What do you think is needed to improve our education system? Write an opinion essay in which you take into account the school system, the teachers and the students. 

OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM

As the OECD average in PISA test, Spain is significantly below. The intelligence of spanish people isn't less than people from other countries so the difference remains on the spanish education system. 

From my point of view the problem is that students don't feel luckly to have the right of education. They are forced to study and for them studuiong is a thing most of time they don't want to do. Also they are obligated to study subjects they don't like. As a result students are not motivated to learn as it means time and efford. Also teachers are not conscious that students have differents ways to learn and also different kinds of intelligence. 

In conclusion the education at system in my opinion is not well focused on what it should be. Finally I think the system should be more open-minded in order to see the gaps it has.

What are the factors that have helped you to learn a foreign lenguage? 

Nowadays it is really important to know foreign languages as more than never we travel around the world for holidays or work. Learning a lenguage can be difficult if you just study two hours a week in school, so you have to found other ways.

In my experience what I have been doing is learning through different ways. The most important for me is learning through films or series in english. Also, with my parents, we have always looked for countries to travel were english is more or less present in order to practice it. Another way that helps is to talk in english with a friend who has a betther lever than you. Finally, and most important is to read english books that the school offers or pick up some in the library. 

In conclusion I have said some ways that help me in order to learn english so as we can see we can adapt english in various aspects of our life, you just have to find your ways.

Divorce rates are increasing in Europe. Does this means that marriage is in crisis? Are you in favor or against marriage? 

As the divorce rates show there is an increasy of divorce numbers in Europe. Divorce has not always been allowed so we could think that's normal. But is it?

From my point of view getting divorced is not a rare thing. People meet and fall in love, but after some years so many things can change so maybe the couple don't feel comfortable with the other anymore. I don't think that this means marriage has lost importance or that this is a "society invention" that doesn't work anymore in this constantly changing society.

So in conclusion I think everybody has the right to do what he wants and that feels more comfortable and happy doing.

LETTER TO UN HUMAN RIGHTS COMMITTEE

Ripoll carrer: Nou n: 13 

Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)  
Palais des Nations  
CH-1211 Geneva 10, Switzerland

28th of April of 2017

Dear Sir.

My letter has the propouse to complain about one of the human right. Nevertheless my objective is to see the gaps of this document in order to support them and make them universal. 

The right I want to talk about is the last one, that says " This rights are indisputable". If this documents has the objective to make every human equal in front of his rights how is it that this human rights are not beeing taked seriously in most of the countries? If these are truly THE RIGHT why there are people that even don't know them? how is it that it is accepted someone in power who don't take care about them? How it is the there are laws that don't reconigze them is are the rights of their people. 

So my opinion is that they should we more promoted in order people know them and mobilize and make the situation change. Make this this rights be indisputable, be rights.

IS LOVE OVERRATED?

 

To see some differents points of view respect this topic i'm going to present some opinions I have found and finally my point of view. 

http://pareja.enfemenino.com/foro/el-amor-esta-sobrevalorado-fd1580190 

The point of view that shows this webside is that people looks for love because they don't feel comfortable with themselves, living alone. That love is just little affection, security or stability and sex, and there is no more. The writer says that be can be happy without a partner.And in conclusions says that people should learn to live alone and being alone and stop looking for idealized love. 

https://lamenteesmaravillosa.com/esta-sobrevalorado-tener-pareja/

Another webside says that in general society has the belief that happiness is united to have a partner, that if you don't have it you miss a half. But in his opinion we are  not half of a orange but a complete orange.
Also says that it's true that increases considerably your happiness loving and being love, but you can also be happy without a partner and unhappy with a partner. So he has a moderate position. In conclusion says that you should love yourself above all things but this doesn't meant that you don't need love from outside. 

http://www.proyectopv.org/2-verdad/carinopsic.htm

Finally there is this last webside that as a totally different vision. As the writer says giving and receiving love is a capacity for which the human being is widely endowed, and at the same time constitutes a necessity for him. Also says that the existence without love supposes a void in a very important part of our psychic life.

After having read this points of view I think that I agree with the second one, the relativist one. I think this question of love is complicated and that you can see it from differents positions. My point of view is moderated. By one hand I feel that some people looks for love outside because they don't feel comfortable with themselves or they need love because they don't love themselves. By another hand I really think love is necessary and it's an important thing in our life, even if it comes from a partner or from  friends or family. Also I think you should love yourself and learn to stay comfortable alone in order to love an other and be loved.

1. Discuss. Why do we love? It’s heart-breaking and complicated most of the times yet do we need it at all? 

I think we all need love, not in the same way as there are differents ways to love and be loved but I think that as humans we have the instint and necessity to love. That love doesn't have necessary to come from your partner, as there are people who enjoy to living alone but from your parents, friends, pet... Also I don't think most of times love is heart-breaking and complicated, it depends of how do you love and you let to be loved. So for me, love is a natural instint and we can't fight to it, so we just have to find the healty way to love in order to not suffer.

STRESS

I like this topic because I usally get quicky stressed. As I know there are two types of stress: eustress(positive) and distress (negative).About stress, in my case, I think is in part something positive because is what makes me be activated and be productive like the day before an important exam (eustress). But by another hand it’s also a problem because stress comes from worries and being worried doesn't solve anything (distress). Also I think many worries comes when we take too many responsabilities we don't have to take, especially teenagers. But in the case of adults I don’t think they should leave away some worries so they will be happier… then maybe they will regret.  So the conclusion I could say is that we should try to have eustress, the positive stress and try to eliminate the distress, the negative one that provides nothing.

FIGHT FOR YOUR DREAMS

-Doctor: Welcome Sr. Tell me why are you here please?

-Will: Yeah… Well, I mean… eyes… my eyes… oh, shit!

What I was thinking of is the possibility to change the colour of them. I mean it's simple, just fix the fucking shit colour.

-Doctor: Hey man! Don't speak me like this… what I was trying to say is that I don't want to change your eyes because… they are beautiful!

(Will gets up and comes closer to the doctor)

-Will: Your eyes are beautiful too.

(Doctor gets closer… and when he is trying to kiss him, Will pull up the eye of the Doctor and shout)

 LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

 

In general I don't believe in love at first sight as the first time I saw my actual boyfriend before we were something I even repair on him. Love at first sight it's impossible. In a first sight you can only see the apareance so you can only feel physicaly attracted. You can't know the person. By otherwise it's true that there is something else apart of the physic, talking materialy, that makes you feel that this person is in a concret way. That would be the voice and what you feel by no-verbal language, the way he moves, his facial expressions... So I think that at first sight you can love that but this anyway doesn't represent the way he is, his personality.

CAN TECHLONOGY SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS?

Nowadays Technology is innovating and discovering a lot of things that years ago seemed to be impossible. So I really believe in the power of technology and science in order to make the human life better. So in my opinion the problem isn’t in the capacity of Technology but in the society. When I say society I mean the way of thinking the values, the priorities. The problem is that in order to be able to develop the technology it must have to exist a powerful propose and the will to do it, as in the video of ted, the arrival to the moon. So I think we are totally able Technology speaking to solve bid problems as puberty or cancer but to do it, all the attention should be concentrated, and the reality is that we use our technology resources in other in other things that are useful but don’t solve the big problems.

FOR CARNIVAL NOT EVERYTHING IS ALLOWED

Since some years in Roses there is a campaign about carnival as it is known that the traditional party of the carnival has evaluated to aexaggerated party in which Young people get drunk and consume drugs. In front of the results of the carnival, a lot of ethyl coma, injuries, rapes, etc. the town hall of Roses decided to create a campaign warning that in carnival not everything is allowed. This campaign is the week before of carnival and is directed to Young people and there they invited the schools of the surroundings of Roses and Roses. There they show the consequences of the carnival  and they conscientize to be prudent. I think this is a very good idea as Young people are not conscientious of the dangers in which you can get involved.

BAR WITH DOG WAITERS

 http://www.newsinlevels.com/products/bar-with-dog-waiters-level-3/

This news item was published in the web site called English in levels, the 15^th of May 2016. The article talks about a very original bar situated in London, called Bar D'Alsace-tian. The bar is so special because once a week, there are dogs which have been trained to be staff. The work of these dogs is to bring beer to the costumers. The way they do it is putting the bottle inside the barrels they wear in the collar.

I found this news and It made me laugh so I decided to write about it. I think it is a very original and funny idea to make your bar look different from others. Also it is said that dogs are the best friend of humans so I think it’s a pleasant place for dog lovers. I would really like to go there and see how the dogs are trained and how they act.

DETECTIVE CONAN

“Detective Conan” is a TV show of Japanese animation in which there is a very intelligent teenager able to solve any cases of murders. He wants to investigate a mysterious organization, but they realize that the teenager is spying on them and they decide to give him a deadly pill. The pill has a manufacturing error and the effect makes the teenager rejuvenate to be a child of 7 year old.

From there, the little detective will have to discover who are the people of the organization to recover his original body.

I think the only issue of this TV Show is that the plot advance very slow, that is, there are many chapters that do not contain main plot, but there are also good and enjoyables.

It's a very complete TV Show, which has adventure, drama, comedy, fiction, romance, etc, accompanied by some very charismatic characters.

SLEEP WITH SHARKS

http://www.newsinlevels.com/products/sleep-with-sharks-level-3/

This news item was posted on 6th May 2016 on a web site called English in levels. The article talks about the chance to win a special experience that Airbnb Company has offer to his users. This experience for the winners is to have a night in an underwater bedroom at Aquarium of Paris. This bedroom is submerged in three million litres of water in a tank ten metres deep with the company of 35 sharks.

This news item surprised and scared me a lot. I would never participate to win this experience. I don’t like sharks and even less stay during I don’t know how many hours surrounded by a lot of them. I guess it’s a safe place but I’m sure I won’t sleep during the whole night. For me seeing them in an aquarium during some minutes is enough. But anyway I don’t agree with the idea of aquariums so more reasons for which I won’t participate. Would you?

PD: You can see a video of this unusual bedroom in this link.
