The revolution Obama in ActionFebruary 3rd 2009 06:57
It is official: Guantanamo is going to close its doors. The newly instituted President Barrack Obama signed, today, the papers for the detention center to be closed. The controversial center should close within one year and torture actions that used to be praticed in it are, from now on, abolished.
Few days ago, the eyes of the entire world were watching the celebrations of Obama’s institution ceremony. For many these eyes were filled with hope.
Let me be your selfish friend.....May 16th 2008 03:52
It is amazing how the value and the expectation of friendship is different from a country to an other and I guess crossing other cultures we have to adapt to their meaning. In some cultures a friend is someone with whom you can share anything and everything whereas in other it is more about the ones you party with and have fun, or even in some countries acquaintances are called friends. Despite their differences in all cultures and countries we have the notion of friendship but it seems that in the modern society friendship seems more and more selfish. you might argue that actually that is a bit of a generalization and maybe not even true but think about it a bit longer. In my observations I noticed that people are more an more focused on their own person. Sure we are part of an individualistic society, TV ads even people tell us to take care of ourselves, that it is the most important. That most certainly influences our behavior. Seriously you think we are not selfish in friendship?
All the things I learned from the american movies!May 16th 2008 03:50
I was in the cinema the other day thinking after the 10th time I see the same thing, that if I see somebody injecting himself with heroin I will scream! That when it stroke me: despite the fact that I never tried, seen drugs or drug consumers before I know what what is there to know to be a user! I know how to smoke it, sniff it, inject it(I am talking about exactly how to do so: putting a rubber band on my arm, mixing the drugs with the blood before finally injecting it), burn it to have the fumes...etc. All that thank to the movies! well knowing all that I wonder how come I never tried and the effect that might these images have on easily influenced teens. I would understand the profusion of these images in movies that deals with addiction issues, or if they actually give an input to the story but quite often they don't; and quite honestly I think that they can be suggested instead of shown as an everyday scene. Showing people getting, smoking, injecting drugs in daily lives just along with a story that has nothing to do with it, just makes things seem more acceptable, more normal just like somebody smoking or drinking tea.
How to choose a good martial art club?May 16th 2008 03:48
It might seem that all the clubs are more or less similar; but it does not suffice to pay your lessons, buy a kimono and get started to be in good hands. You might even be satisfied with your club ; but because you don't have any comparison point it might not be a good one. Clubs can make a big difference on what you learn, the skills you get and even if you enjoy the martial art or no. Adding to that, when the instructor is not good enough you might hurt yourself just because you are not doing the moves properly.
can't we appreciate things that we don't pay for?March 13th 2008 07:28
We are, there is no doubt about it, in a consumer society. Everything is seen as a product that can be consumed, almost all our joys today are packaged and ready for us: our sports, food, learning a new language, playing cards.... name it, it is there waiting for you. There is a club, a bar , a casino, an association that provides it. Downside, well.... you have to pay for it. Some are more affordable then others. We are so used to consume everything that maybe we are getting to forget that we can appreciate and do a lot of things without paying for it. Numerous time I heard people saying: "I am not doing anything this weekend because I am broke". That results by people staying at home bored or not in front of their TV.
Are we all going to be peeping toms?December 22nd 2007 02:46
It seems that for numerous people their blog is in a way their diary. The question is why would you think your diary will interest people? Do you lead such an unusual or extraordinary life? But most of all who are these people who read these blogs and why do they do it? I can't help it to think that they are among the same people that spy on people on the internet.... Well you know these people who put a camera in their room and people come regularly to see what they do. mmmmm..... doesn't that reminds you of numerous TV shows?
Drinking for social inclusion......September 18th 2007 10:40
I was told few days ago that I should reconsider my drinking position (I don't drink), since I am in Australia and that they drink beer in every occasion. That's an odd statement really. But what does it really hide?
