Is it more important for students to study history and literature than it is for them to study science and mathematics?

As far as I am concerned, studies are crucial today in order to be able to get a decent job. Since we were youths we have been told that if we ever want to get a job and have a reasonable pay check, we should work and study hard throughout our lives in order to succeed, but does it matter what we learn during our school years? Will it change our future?

Nowadays children in most schools around the world have all kind of subjects going from the humanities such as history and literature, to the scientific side; mathematics and the three sciences. In other schools, kids can study the subjects which will help them for their degree at the university. In my opinion, children at elementary primary school until 6th grade should study a bit of everything as that would enrich their cultural knowledge. Nevertheless, I also believe that high school students pre-college should focus and only study what they need for university as that is what they are going to require throughout their entire lives and they will know the basic things from school.

I believe that most people would agree with me when I say that some subjects are not more important than others. Most individuals think that it does not matter what you study as we need people for all kinds of jobs; from literature teachers to doctors and both careers are as important because without teachers there would not be any doctors and without doctors people would die from illnesses.


Therefore, in my opinion, children should know a bit of all and then study in more depth for their specific degrees as by doing so, it will make an enormous difference in their future lives and jobs.

I am a woman

Girls with such beautiful eyes,
should never be sad.
Girls like you should never be scared.
We are free.
We are strong.
We are needed in this world.
We should always be respected.
Therefore, never feel inferior.
Always remember that, 
your every tear is worth more 
than many diamonds.
So say no to violence. 
Never forget that you deserve the best.
Never forget that you are a woman.

Space Debris

I.According to the newspaper The Times, space debris is known as the “collection of artificial and extinct objects” which orbit around the Earth such as rocket stages and old satellite fragments. These objects​ often crash on ​ Earth provoking both different reaction in society and destruction. Some people believe that this is an issue which could be quite problematic as one way or another, it affects our planet directly​, but is that completely true?

II.       Space

A. Unknown material
B. Organic and inorganic material (debris)

III.      Scientists research

A. Technological advances
B. Scientists believe

IV.   Impact on society

A. Citizen Reactions
B. Impact on the Earth itself


V. Overall, I believe that although nowadays space debris is an issue that affects our planet, as it is appearing in many parts of the Earth, in a way, we can all be a bit less concerned as thanks to all the technological advances, if scientists saw that any kind of space debris could affect us physically, we could somehow get rid of it before it got to the Earth. Therefore, if I met a worried person, I would tell him not to ​worry as we are in good hands.

Youths and social networks

As far as I am concerned, nowadays technological devices are present in our lives at all times no matter where we are. We live in a society which is completely addicted to all kind of electronic gadgets and although there are many advantages to all these useful advances, I believe that there are also many disadvantages.

 On the one hand, there are many positive points as thanks to the internet and to all those technological devices, we have unlimited access to things such as any kind of information, e-mails and videos among many others. Actually, today you can even go shopping online without having to leave your own house which is something that saves you a lot of time as you are brought to your doorstep anything you have decided to buy. Moreover, if you are far away from home, you can speak to everyone you want via Skype, whatsapp or any other social network, no matter where you are, as you can always get online.

 On the other hand, it is also true that it is difficult to put up with things that come from the internet such as spams, junk e-mails, and people hacking into other people´s laptops to get information. There are many dangerous things when it comes to social networks especially for children and teenagers as for example, giving too much personal information about themselves. There are many people who take advantage of these naïve kids by pretending to be their friends and then kidnapping them or finding out when there isn’t anyone at home in order to be able to rob the house.

Overall, I believe that although being a techno-lover has many advantages such as having information available everywhere, it also has various disadvantages with which we have to be very careful and make sure that everyone, especially youths, keep the dangers in mind.

Bored

Long boring hours
Which are often bitter and sour
Desperate to go home
Can´t because it´s not time to go
Been here since nine o´clock
and will leave in about five hours work
Although I cannot stand it anymore
I try to wait, but it´s too long
Repetition, repetition and more repetition
And actually, it´s hard to get recognition
When we don´t even have any innovation
I know it is hour education
but all this is just an aberration.

Log Off

Stop looking at that
Come and take part on family life
Because actually, we are your life
Please log off
Please come back to real life
Lay off from that virtual world.
I know it offers interesting stuff
But it´s not worth that much
We should not judge
Although you are growing a moustache
Time is running out
Tick-tack, you can hear it going down
Get the hell out of here
You are an incredible seer 
You should not be disappearing.
Please log off
Before you die off


With this poem I have tried to recreate a conversation that most youths have had with their mother or father due to the excessive use of technological devices.

Are adverts affecting today´s society?

Nowadays no matter where we look, we see advertisings everywhere bombarding us with all kinds of information all the time. It is believed that they deeply affect today´s society and especially young people and children as they are the most vulnerable of all, but is this statement completely true or does it have advantages as well?

 On the one hand, I believe that often, some commercials trick people by promoting something which is then completely different from what we were told it was. An example of this can be when we are informed that an object or a specific type of food is of very high quality using striking and powerful  images, slogans, spoken commentary and perhaps even a very unforgettable or impacting ending. When we see all of these, we directly buy it because we believe that it is the best option, and then we find out  that we have been fooled. These kind of adverts are done by experts on marketing agencies who work onIy advertising  and who know how to trick us without getting into trouble with the law. Actually most of these adverts cost a fortune as usually famous people are paid to appear in the advertisement and in order to make it more popular and therefore make sure they promote the product in the best way possible.

 On the other hand, I also see eye to eye with the people who believe that thanks to adverts, citizens get to know are well informed about  everything that is out in the market, specially the important things like for example the new technological devices that help diabetic people with their glucose levels. As  social security does not give it to the patients, if it weren’t for the adverts all these people would not know of the existence of this device.

Therefore, if I were the government, I would undoubtedly make a law were all kind of advertisements and commercials could only say completely true things without any exception. Commercials are something that help both the company promote and the customer get to know the prize and the details of the product so, as long as they are done in a non-harming way, why should we not have adverts?
