RACISM: OPINION OF AN ACTUAL ISSUE

Racism has always existed and it has always been a scourge that has influenced our world and the relationship between diferent cultures and societies. 
Racism is characterized by prejudicestereotyping, and discrimination against what is different of you and your ethnicity. Racism is also influenced by the existence of an idea that humans can be subdivided into distinct groups that are different in their social behavior and innate capacities and that can be ranked as inferior or superior.
Racism has always been the source of a lot of conflicts and it has always been a significant issue for governments to control as it is dangerous for society and because hatred that can come off of this conflict can influence the behavior of many people and cause actions that could lead to global catastrophes such as the Holocaust , a desastrous example that killed milions of people during the Second World War, and everything because of conflicts between opposed ethnicities. 
I personally think that racism is a tragedy and that us, humans, we should accept and love among ourselves such as we are, and not hating the differences that we might have.
Perhaps the fear and apprehension plays a fundamental role in the emergence of racism, but we shouldn't be carried away by fear and we should learn to know, reconcile and complement our differences, since after all each person is different and we are all different from each other, even people who are part of the same ethical group.
To finish I think sadly racism is a difficult problem to solve and that unfortunately always be present in some societies that have more difficulty to accept the differences of others, but I think we can all fight although it costs, and be united against this issue to not let it grow.

HABIT OF READING

The fact of reading is known for its benefits and for its relevance when it comes to develop a clear and healthy mind. Reading at a young age is really advisable because of all the good aspects that it can apport to a young person, such as the development of an important and smart vocabulary, a facility of speech and an important general knlowledge that sometimes people who haven't had read in their lifes don't have.
In my personal case, my parents have alwys told me that reading is very important and since I was a child I have always read a lot. When I was like 10-11 yeard old I really discovered the reading and my major hobby at that time was reading, as I read a lot and a lot of different types of literature.
Unfortunately, in the past years I have significantly reduced my consumption of books and I don't read as much as I used to. I do read sometimes but not as I much as I would like to, and I really hope that I will recover this healthy habit very soon.
I think that reading, leaving aside the good aspects that it has in our health, is also an actual way to escape of our day to day to live in some way new experiences and discover a lot of new things, as a book is really a huge box of surprises and you never know what you can find inside one. Therefore, I consider that in some cases a book is really able to change your life and your way to see life, so that's why reading is so important, because it can apport you things that you would never imagined.

VEGETARIANISM

Vegetarianism, the practice of abstaining from the consumption of meat, is growing more and more everyday and it is acquiring a lot of new followers. Even though this practice often receives a lot of criticism, mostly because some people think the consumption of meat is necessary for the healthy development of the body, especially at younger ages, it is evolving positively and our society is starting to accept it as a normal thing and not as a weird habit anymore.
Soy-whey-protein-diet.jpgPersonally I totally support the cause of having to stop eating meat mostly because of the treatment that animals receive in their lifes to then be killed. They live in inhuman situations, just because this business is just looking to win more and more money, leaving aside the animals and what they might be feeling.
Currently I am still eating meat but not as more as I used to. I avoid the most as I can eating red meat and also chicken, but if I have to eat some I do it. I really think that one day I'll finish by being a vegetarian because everyday I feel more and more disgusted by meat and I think it is not going to stop and I'll have to put and end to my consumption of meat. Even though, I totally respect people that loves eating meat as this is their decision and I don't have anything to say about that because everyone is free to eat what they want, but I do think that they should be more carefull when it comes to buy it, because there are producers that sell meat which have been well developed in a healthy way but producers that unlike this raise animals without having any consideration for their health and using horrible methods to make them grow as quick as they can.

BEING AFRAID OF TIME

I just turned eighteen a few days ago, and since then a fear has appeared in my mind: do time pass too fast and am I really enjoying every moment like I have to?
I'm starting to realize time is relative and that the more you live, the more you think time passes really fast, at least in my case. I start remembering my childhood and sometimes I'm surprised because it's actually difficult to remember some things that I know I lived, and above all sometimes I don't remember thing that just happened eigh or ten years ago, so I'm arriving to a conclusion: when I'll be like 40 or 50, will I remember this moment, sitting at my desk, writing this post after a fun weekend enjoyed with my friends, I really won't remember all the fantastic moments I'm going through in this years?
That's the main reason why I'm scared, I'm afraid because I'm scared I won't remember well the people that nowadays is one of the best aspects of my life: my friends. I spend so much time with them, we share so much, laughs, tears, happiness, sadness, and maybe in a few years I'll just remember their names, their faces and little more. Maybe people will think this is silly, but it's a question that matters to me, because I'd truly want to be able to remember ALL of the moments that produce me a smile, because after all this is the more important thing for me in life, to be Happy and to be able to revive and to remember all the important moments of my life, the ones that have made me happy.

IS JOURNALISM MY REAL WAY?

I'm in my last year of High School and certainly the most decisive of all, as I now have to choose what I want to do in my future, and for me it's not being an easy decision because a lot of diferent things come to my mind and they kind of not let my mind be clear. 
First of all, if I have to get into a degree (I actually don't feel obligated to only go to college) I would choose a journalism one because it has always been a world that has seemed interesting to me. I think maybe I could be a good journalist as I'm a person who is always interested about a lot of diferent things and I'm very very very curious, I always want to know everything.
But even if it would be an acceptable choice for me, I have a lot of doubts as I'm not sure if that's really what I want to do in my future, as I often have my head in the clouds and I use to dream and to fantasize about bigger jobs who would propulse me in a dream life that I've actually always wanted, since I was a child I have always dreamt big. I know it's not a good thing because I'm afraid because of that I'll never be satisfied of anything in my future, but I have to work on that and I'm sure I will get through this state of mind and I will definitly find my definitive way, the one which is meant for me.

WHAT I THINK ABOUT DONALD TRUMP

I actually don't want to get too much into politics because it's a not a subject which interests me as I rarely talk about it. However it's true that since a few weeks I've started caring about a man who has been into all the polemics and whose name is in everyone's mouths, Donald Trump.
Resultado de imagen de donald trumpDonald Trump is a billionaire business mas who is running for the American presidentials elections of 2016 representing the republicans. First of all, I want to say I don't know by heart all of his ideas and I totally ignore a huge part of what he has said in the last weeks, but I do know some facts in which he has lended interrest.
Personally, Donald Trump is not the type of character I like as his ideas doesn't match at all with my thinking ways. The racism that impregns him disgusts me at all points because I think we live in a society where we all should respect each other without separating people into classes. I also think that his policy wouldn't be productive in the life of the country as his ideas actually reminds me sometimes of kinds of fascist thought. I'm not saying he would be as bad as them, but it's true that sometimes I just feel that the man who I see talking on tv can make me feel like he could be one of this persons.

MY IMPRESSION OF CAMDEN MARKET

Resultado de imagen de camden marketThis weekend I went to London in a school trip and we visited a lot of nice places of the city, such as the legendary Camden Market.
We went there on saturday afternoon and we spent there like 5 hours because it's a really huge market which is divided in diferent parts, and visiting all of them was really long and intense as we were actually tired, but it didn't matter as it was so special that we forgot all of it.
Resultado de imagen de camden market vintageThe diversity of things that could be find on the market really surprised me a lot as you can find there all types of gifts and items to buy at really low prices (of course, negociating is a necessary thing). Besides, the market is located in a really nice street and in a beautiful neighborhood, which helped to make everything even more magical.
I also really loved the "vintage shops" and t
he thrift shops, as I actually LOVED the clothes and the items that these stores offered. At last, I think going there was really one of the best parts of the trip and I would totally go back there a hundred times again as it seems to be the typical place you feel you've never seen all of it.

CAN YOUNG PEOPLE SAVE THE WORLD?

Resultado de imagen de save the worldThe more time passes, the more I start worrying about the state of the planet. Nowadays our society consum is so massive that since a few decades it has started being nocive to our planet, and even if everyone knows this is happening, a very few persones in this planet seems to have consideration about that.
The chaos of the planet and of everything that is currently going through our world is a fact that concerns me a lot as I think it's really dramatic to destroy the planet and to not do anything to try to stop it. However there's a lot of associations that try to stop this problem, a huge majority of the planet don't care and people is just continuing living with the same path lifes without changing anything for that problem to disappear.
I personally think we have arrived to a state where the destructions that have already been made up are irreversible and we will never restore plant as it used to be. This is very sad but (without the pretention of being a scientist) I think this is the simple truth: planet is falling down.
So a question comes to my mind, are the new generations being suficiently inculcated of what's happening to maybe in a future make radical changes? My opinion is NO, as young people, and I include myself in this pack, don't receive too much information about this topic. It's true we all know what's happening and we can't change things with just a day, but maybe our society is giving to the nowadays youth wrongs aspects to be focused on, as for example beauty or love, so therefore I consider young people should be more explained about earth's troubles because making a change is difficult, but not impossible.
