HOW YOUNG PEOPLE CAN GET INVOLVED WITH SOMETHING BIGGER THAN THEMSELVES

I have chosen this news " How young people can get involved with something bigger than themseleves" because it taks about things that university students have made to improve the world. I thought it would be interesting.

The news tells of several universities that have made the idees of students in practice. And they have obtained good results.

The first university , University the Barkeley, Marcus Lehman found a way of producing electricity through renewable energy from waves.

Another student, Jeremy Gross, University Sain Louis, he transform a public bus to a mobile market that went to the houses that were isolated from the city.

News says that's great that going people want to find solutions to problems that there are planet. And universities, business and government leave making student ideas. 

I think it is good that they do, we all find solutions to improve the conditions of the Earth.

WHY DO WE LOVE? A Philosophical inquiry

WHY DO WE LOVE? A Philosophical inquiry

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 everyone needs to love and be loved, either with your couple with your friends or the family, but everyone needs to feel that someone has really loves you and knows that you can always rely on that person when you need more someone by your side. We often need to be loved or loved to forget certain problems or conflicts that we have at certain times in order to spend fun and emotional time without thinking with the problems that we have in our live. There are people who find it difficult to express their feelings, but I think it's not becomes difficult love, since anyone can give and receive love and for no one will feel alone.

Describing my soulmate

Joana, my soul mate, is 18. I met her four years ago, and she is the best friend that I can have. She is a brown-eyed gril and has got medium weavy borwn hair. She is a dark-skined girl. She is aquite tall and has a beautiful smile.

She is a little bit impatient and nervous but has a big heart. She is really honest and generous. Joana is optimistic and she always tells the truth in the best and in the bad moments. She gives me good advice I always trust her.

Her optimism helps her to do what she wants and fulfil her dreams. She plays volleyball very well and she loves cooking . She loves animals specially the dogs, like me.

I know that I will stay by her side forever because she is the best company. 

What is your view on digital love: speed dating, tinder, marriage sites, sexting etc?

Nowadays in our society love is very important. All the people needs love, not necessarily have a partner, can be love of friends, family, etc, but always love are present. The people are diferent and all need diferents ways of love. Currently the digital love are fashion, and the bussines create a lot apps to promote it.

These apps consist in meet a lot of people that can have a lot in common with you or can be opposite person. It is a way to find love or  you can find friends. These apps are tinder, marriage stites, sexting, speed dating and others. Thanks to these apps a lot of people are leaving the typical love (face to face), to pass to the digital love. Another way that promote the digital love are the new technologies and all the apps that have the most of people on their mobile-phone, computer, etc like whatsapp, facebook, line, etc. These apps turn on the people to changes their point of view of love.

In my opinion the current society are doing a big change, but this change are negative because the love face to face are true, authentic and better than digital love that is more cold and distant. It’s the best way to begin a realtionship: meet the person face to face because you can have the opportunity to have the same conversation that you can have at the mobile but you can listen your voice, see your physique, etc.

Getty Images 4 Types Of Discrimination We All Need To Keep Fighting Against Worldwide

I chose this news because I want to know how much discrimination there is in the world that I live.

It started talking that day on March 1 there is a manifestation against discrimination.(bigotry, oppression and divisiveness).This demonstration is to fight and try to achieve equality for all. Here are four types of discrimination we all need to keep fighting against worldwide.

The news is divided into four discrimination. It's start talking about Gender-based discrimination and continue explain about racial discrimination,sexual orientation discrimination and finally religious discrimination.

Gener-based discrimination

Even women and girls still have limitations of work or education. Many of them have suffered gender violence. According to the ONU  35% of women around the world they have experienced violence and most girls with less than five years. For example, around 200 million women and girls have been subjected to female genital mutilation in 30 countries. 

Racial discrimination

Millions of people worldwide continue to face racial discrimination daily. Especially in the US see this discrimination. The news tells us an example: White people in America are more likely to sell drugs but there are more blacks arrested for selling drugs.

Sexual orientation discrimination

The news speaks that there are 80 countries that have prohibited same-sex relationships

Religious discrimination

there are a lot discrimination about religion and this causes many wars and many deaths.

In my opinion  It is very sad this situations above all the century we live.We are very ignorant.I hope that someday these discriminations disappear

KENYA IS ABOUT TO DEVASTATE THE GLOBAL REFUGEE POPULATION

This time I chose a very different news wich I did formerly. Another topic that interests me a lot, news titled "Kenya is about to devastate the global refugee population"

This news talks about refugees in Kenya acoording to the news, Kenya will close refugee camps. One of the world's largest camp more than 300.000 people. Kenya decided to close the refugees camps for economic worries and terrorism threaten.

Therefore Kenya close refugee camps and it doesn't accept any more refugees.These people have nowhere to go, they ravased by war, proverty and persecution.

That's why, according news the human rights groups are fighting against decision of the country. 

I was very surprised this news. Although currently common to see these misfortunes. The centuary in which we live I can't understand why there are theese hardship. Is very sad. 

One of my objectives is will go to help refugees as volunteer.I would be happy to do anything profit.
