Developed world, what's wrong with you?

I can't believe what is going on with us, we are making a step backwards. Nowadays nobody has respect for other people, corruption is extended around all our democracies of the developed world, poverty and discrimination are being more omnipresent in our present days. Seriously world? That's what you want?  Do you want to live in a world where you can't belive in your own neighbour, family or friends? We must stop that now. Society will not go forward if we follow this way of thinking.

On the one hand, I just want to formulate a question: what  do we understand if we talk about democracy? People choosing their leaders? Getting equality between men and women? Having  civil rights? That's what most of the population think  about what a democracy is, but this is one of both faces. The other face doesn't seem too "friendly", from my point of view it is an agressive face from the democracy. During Irak's War(2003-2011), where USA, UK, Spain and other countries murdered more than 300.000 citizens, who haven't got fault about the war which was taking  place in their country. 

On the other hand, there is another thing with today's people that drives me crazy. Nowadays if you are using an app called WhatsApp if you sent a message, and if in this message there is not an emoji you are being rude with him/her even though if you have yiur happiest day in your life, if there isn't and emoji you are being rude, that's why I don't like chatting apps, therefore I use them, they are important for me to communicate to my parents, etc. But what I want you to understand, is that you cannot say that someone is rude when you totally don't know which is his/her mood. Please don't make this mistake.

Having said all that, my critique is finished, and I say thanks to you, for reading my thoughts of the today's world.

Songs that can change my mood!


This song puts me in a good mood every time, I listen to it. My mood changes radically, it doesn't matter if I'm sad or angry or tired of everything, every time I hear it my mood turns to happy! I don't know why or how, but I think it must be the rhythm of that song, because it seems as a funny song, you know what I mean.


This song has always given me courage and confidence to follow my challenges and never give up. I identify myself with this song, and it gives the strength and the motivation while I'm training to not fail against my opponent, because when I'm motivated by this song, I've got the strength to achieve my goals.



This song one of is my favourites. Played by Lindsey Stirling, one of the bests violinists of our age. It was her first  experiment for her to mix dubstep music with classical music, and its result... IT'S SIMPLY AWESOME!! One of the best songs I've ever listened to, trust me I recommend you listen to it at least once, I'm sure that you will like it!

CELTIC MUSIC


Presentation:


Description:
Celtic music is the music type which approaches us to approaches us to medieval times. Its similarities with the medieval music are practically non-existent, if you put only one song of celtic music to a person who never has listened to celtic music would answer you that is medieval music for sure, trust me I've tried. This presentation talks you about celtic music, what it is, many characteristics about it, and for sure, my favourites celtic musicians in  Internet, Brunuhville and Adrian Von Ziegler. Enjoy it!

Memories of a tourist. Italy.

My trip to Italy with my highschool has been memorable. Many unforgettable moments have happened, and some more of less importance will be forgotten. But that will remain in my life memories, so long as we remember.

My best moment of my trip was when I was with Tim, Max and Arnau before going in our Rome hotel, before we were noticed that we had the PROTOTYPE of a hotel room. When we went into our room we didn't notice anything, but when we watched with attentive eyes, we noticed many fails in our room: the beds were a bit destroyed, our thermostat was doing "concerts" in the middle of the the night(so memorable music and so emotive), the ventilation grille didn't have screws, in our blankets there were some "red stains" and it was a bit uncomfortable, we had a table which could dance(it wasn't fixed at all), our wardrobe door was the best one I've ever seen before, it was removable.

This was our imperfectly perfect room, at first we disagreed with this room but at least we finally laughed as nobody has done before. It just was the perfect moment of all the trip. Check the video below to understand our laughter.

Paper Book vs Digital Book

Nowadays we are in an age which the traditional books made of paper and the digital books are coexisting, but which of them is better than the other? The paper book or the digital book?

Advantages and disadvantages of the paper book: 

On one hand, the paper book is better than the digital book, for the feeling of having a book in your hands, reading it page by page, or even the touch of the paper with your skin. Another pro of the paper book is the relative resistance to water. A paper book does not start to fail after being soaked. And of course less fragile than the last-generation of eBooks.

On the other hand. The paper books are more inflamable than the digital books, and more sensitive when you try to rip the pages. Or even the ink when the book gets wet the sentences will be moved. Another disadvantatge of the paper book is that the paper books are more expensive than a digital book.

Advantages and disadvantages of the digital book: 

On one hand, the digital books are cheaper than paper books and easier to bring it in a bag, because they are stored in the eBook. The brigthness of an eBook is easy to regulate and the pages are easier to moved them to continue reading.

On the other hand, digital books are more sensitive to water, bringing them to an short-circuit and them at least, being useless.


Conclusion:

In conclusion, and in my opinion, I would always be a paper book reader, the fomat of the digital book and the idea of having a tablet instead of a book it's a thing that annoys me.
