A wild party
I will tell you a wild funny story that begins in the jungle. All the wild animals had a plan to spend a day having fun. They decided to have a party and everyone was invited. Very early in the morning, the animals brought out the balloons with which they decorated the trees.
In charge of the meal were the bat, the cat and the rat. The parrot was the disk jockey. He played tango, salsa rock and cuarteto. The animals really had fan!
When the night arrived, the tired animals went to bed after a wonderful day!!!

She & He

It was a blowy, frizzing night…
There was darkness in the night, especially in her heart.
She was alone and cold.
She was waiting for something...since the pain didn’t release.
Until a person who walked towards her, asked the time among other things.
She’s seen him by sight among the crowd
But it was time to leave

Months have passed
The pain has released her heart
But she was still waiting for something...
They met again in a crowed place
She didn’t know anybody. However, she could see a free seat besides him

Since then, they have never taken apart
He gave her the light that she was looking for
He gave her the warmth of the sun
He healed her wounds
He opened his heart
And tought her what love was

One should never judge external appearance

External appearance is an issue which frequently generates a great deal of heated debates. There are opponents who maintain that it is important for social life. Apart from this, they may say that it is normal to make judgment given that we- human beings – perceive only with our senses, not to mention the fact that people judge in order to distinguish different types of person. On the order hand, supporters to this view claim that judging external aspect is unjustifiable. Moreover, they believe that it is almost impossible to know a person by looking at his features. Therefore, it is worth examining both points of view before reaching any conclusion.
To begin with, many opponents argue that appearance is the key to success in social events or important interviews, given that individuals are accepted or rejected by their external aspects. That is, having a good appearance may help people to success in their society. Furthermore, some may say that to sit in judgment about a person’s trait is innate of human beings. This means that our first perception of the world is through our senses. In a way or another, appearance may not be vital but it influences our acceptance or rejection of our fellow human beings. In effect, a neat hairdo, sober or elegant garments, polished shoes predispose us to welcome a stranger in our midst. Instead, an unshaven face, shabby clothes or muddy soles may tempt us to keep a distance between an outsider and ourselves.
On the other hand, it is often said that judging an individual because of his external features is unjustifiable. People are like small icebergs, since they do not reveal everything through clothes or ornaments. Thus, it could be important to go deeper to know what others really are. However, many support that we – human beings – should be shrewd enough to see through people, to grasp the hints. That is, individuals send messages through their appearance; in fact, sometimes weird outlooks can hide a hideous, somber personality that is not easily to be perceived by others.
For the above mentioned reasons, therefore, I believe that one should not judge external appearance given that individuals are so complex that it would be almost impossible to really know them based on their features.

Negative consequences of the freedom of the press

An issue which frequently generates heated opinions is the freedom of the press. Although the freedom of the press offers people the possibility of expressing their opinions and beliefs, it cannot be denied that it may carry negative consequences, as it could be harmful for international relations, it could give biased information and it could interfere in individuals’ lives. In my opinion the press is necessary to certain degree although it produces many negative consequences.
To begin with, some people often say that the freedom of the media could be harmful for international relations. This means, that some offensive information could be given without thinking whether it causes resentment on the public. In fact, the freedom of the press does not respect other’s beliefs or opinions, causing political or religious problems between countries, as well as among people.
Secondly, it is assumed that the freedom of the media can provide biased information. Therefore, many citizens are influenced by this kind of information; that is, people who are unaware of the real situations are influenced by reporters’ thoughts and ideologies.
Thirdly, many skeptics believe that the freedom of the press may affect people’s lives. That is, the media usually interferes with people’s businesses and feelings; as a consequence individuals feel naked by the reporters’ inquiry. In fact, the media is not respectful with individuals’ privacy, as they inquire or record citizens in difficult and morbid situations with the only aim of increasing the number of spectators.
Taking these points into consideration, it could be said that the freedom of the press is necessary to a certain degree. However, those who make use of this freedom should think carefully about the information given and their consequences.

Were past times better than modern ones?

It is often believed that past times were happier than modern ones. This issue frequently generates a great deal of heated debate, with supporters maintaining that in the past times there was a different lifestyle and they did not belong to a consumer society, whilst opponents claim that these days, not only people’s lives are more comfortable but they also live longer than those who lived in the past time thanks to the improvements made in the field of medicine.
Firstly, supporters suggest that past times were happier than the modern ones given that the past generation usd to live in a society where people were not overwrought, as nowadays. This means that previous generations were able to enjoy their activities better; they found pleasure both in their jobs and in their leisure time, since people lived in a different lifestyle. They did not worry about losing their jobs and they used to spend more time with their relatives. Apart from this, the consumer society had not trapped everybody in a dreadful net. Therefore, individuals were not influenced by this 20th century phenomenon which was expanded by the media. That is, they were not concerned about obtaining the latest fashionable gadget or garment, as today’s individuals do.
On the other hand, it may be said that modern times are much happier than the past ones. To begin with this, many usually claim that technology has developed unimaginable electronic appliances, which ease daily work. Regarding health, many improvements have been achieved in order to save lives, as well as to prevent illnesses. In fact, thanks to progress in this field people have long-healthy lives, and lifespan has lengthened far beyond the wildest dreams of people one century ago.
Taking both sides of the argument into consideration, it may be said that many features of past times contributed in order to make life happy. However, it could not be denied that modern times offer us a more comfortable and healthy world thanks to technology and the improvements made in the field of medicine.

MONEY RULES THE WORLD

Money rules the world a matter of considerable controversy at present is the fact whether money rules the world. There is not doubt that money offers people with the possibility to have access to basic necessities as health and education as well. However, while money is seemed as a requirement in order to have a comfortable life, it cannot be denied that money is often believed to be the main cause for conflicts among people, what is more among countries.
To start with it, many support the view that money enables people to fulfil their necessities which range from basic human necessities, for instance food and clothes, to unimaginable sophisticated things, such as jewellery and masterpieces of sculpture or painting. Furthermore, it is often argued that money influences in people’s relations. This is clearly shown by the fact that wealthy businessmen are more respected than ordinary people. Another major advantage of money is that it is believe to be vital for survival given that in the field of medicine many improvements were achieved in order to save lives thanks to the opportunities offered by money.
On the other hand, many people claim that one of the factors in life, which is more important than money, is health. Despite the fact that those who are in high income and are able to afford the best medical care for their relatives, who suffer from terminal diseases, money does not give guarantee for a longer healthy life. Finally, an additional drawback of money is the clash that it causes among people, not to mention the fact that money is the main cause of conflicts between countries. It is generally suggested to many wars were started by powerful countries with the intention of gaining more economic powers. Therefore, many people who live in a powerless country are deprived of the means to obtain proper nutrition and health care.
Taking everything into account, the obvious conclusion to be drawn is that money rules the world given that money is necessary to fulfil our basic necessities and to improve health cares, as well. However, I firmly think that money does not provide us with a longer or better life due to the fact that money is not the solution to many things as terminal diseases or to have peace in our world.
