                                          The purpose of education
With respect to education, there is a global system in the whole world and it is not necessarily the right one. There have been lot of argues trough the years about this topic because it is truth that there are different ideas about the definition of what a right education must be. There are people who think about education as the idea of learning what there have already been studied and limit to that information, and other who think about it on a autonomic and imaginative way, taking the information which you have been done and question it and add your own opinion and references.

Since we are very young, we are taught to study and to stock up information in almost all of our subjects. And I have to ask you something, do you all think this is the best way of educating? Probably many of you think it is not but the problem is that there are many people who think that there is not a better or another way. They are completely wrong, education can be taught in a different way which awaken the curiosity of the students to learn more and of course, to question if that information is completely right or they can change some things looking for new information to verify and modify the old one, creating this way, our own  knowledge.

What's more, we are though in this indoctrination because it is what society expect of us. We are expected to accept what it was imposed in the past, but we would never advance if we just learn what other people discovered or taught and we are in a era where we have many things available to help us to form our own materials, for example, technology. But we have to look for signifiant information, that is to say, me must know what to search for, what can really help us. And to obtain that, we can not limit ourselves to what has already been done, we must be creative and try to challenge what it has been accepted in the past.

Autonomy is also something that we are not used to until we arrive at university and teachers tell us that now is our time, we are who have to organise our information. The time before that, we have just underlined in the class, many times without knowing what were underlining. That shouldn't be education. We are like machines studying for exams because we are told that those exams will decide our future. Since that moment, students don't focused on learning and developing their abilities and creativity, they just think that they must study that for the exam. That's not education.

As a result, we have and education that it is not really educating people and making they learning new things for their future, they just memorize information like machines not worrying about creating their own information for their future training but just caring about a single mark which won’t really define them.

Nowadays technology.

I think that, like in every change, we must be careful and conscious that every change has its good side and its bad side and every technology, incorrectly used can be very dangerous.

Talking about social networks, I think that many people is using them too much and in a very public way, they are completely absorbed. They post what they are doing, eating or even where they are or that they are home alone. This can be very dangerous because, maybe friends don’t even give importance to it but there are people who use this social networks to steal or even hound to whom post it.We must very responsive with this technology.

It’s truth that they can be very very useful to keep in contact with people who are far from you, they can show you things of their lives and you too. But we must’n forget that once you have uploaded a photograph to Internet, since then, that photo will never disappear, this is something that specially teenagers must remember.

In regard to gadgets, in my opinion, they have made our lives much more easier. Nowadays, you can make lot of thinks through your phone or computer, go shopping or talking to someone. But we must be careful because many people is not doing social life, and that’s very dangerous. Human being is a social being and we can’t forget that, when we go out to drink a coffee with some friends, we can’t not be the whole time watching the phone because we go out with our friends to talk to them and spend time having fun and forgetting the technological world.

My family and me.

I wouldn’t like to have to choose between my father or my mother, both have set high standards.But I think I bear a striking resemblance more to my father. We are very  calm persons and we always think twice before thinking about doing something. I think that because of all of this I admire him. He is very strong, he is always fine although he is not in reality but he does it to not worry us. He is a very hard-working person, he never gives up and he has sacrificed lot of thing through his life to get what he has now: four good sons and an incredible wife.  Also, he never argues, I really look after to him on that. We think it is necessary very few times and In my opinion it is a big advantage.

But I have to admit that I have qualities from both, good and not so good.  As I am growing up I am realizing each time more that through the years I do many things I don’t like of her. That`s why now I can`t criticize her.  From my mother I would like to have qualities like for example her dedication and the love she puts to everything she does for us without expecting anything in return. She is like a super mother.

 On the other hand, not everything could be nice. I posses some qualities not so incredible. It’s true that I don`t use to get angry but if you really know me, you know that I am a person which have it inside and I`m not sure if that`s good because yo can exploit sometime. I believe it is something that has always run in the family. My mother uses to express what she fells and is more sentimental than my father and me. Anyway I wouldn`t change her for nothing in the world. She is my best friend, we have always get on very well, even during my years of teenagers when it is supposed that we are more rebels.

Physiscally I totally look like my mother, everybody say that we have the same way of laughing and the same smile. That’s because we have a sense of humor very similar. 

I think that in my life, a very good goal would be follow my parents steps.

Introduction and conclusion.

                     Space debris
Space debris is increasingly a very common problem nowadays. If we look for information on the internet we can see lot of news about new objects fell down from the sky. This rubbish is caused in many times for the human being and his experiments. We must be more aware of the effects of throwing this kind of devices to the space because sooner or later it can return to the earth.

To sump up, we are not the centre of the world and even we don't see the effects that these objects have in the space, it's very important that we moderate this emission of researches with no return of the devices.

The idea of having fun nowadays.

I completely disapprove of this kind of people who is not capable of having fun without drinking. At my age I’ve had to listen lot of modern teenagers who say : I don't know how to have fun and enjoying the party if I haven’t drunk . For me, It’s perfectly hideous that people so young think that way, they really don’t know how to fun.
Alcohol seriously affect teenagers’ mood, they get to the point that they don’t know what they are doing having terrible fights. They get up on the next morning and they even don’t remembered what happened last night. I think this is completely disgusting So young they are very dependent on alcohol.
Thirty or forty years ago, teenagers and really knew how to have fun in a healthy way with our hurting their health. They went out and played outdoors without having technology, or without thinking on drinking and, dos you know what? They were really happy, even more than nowadays.
I think it is not a question about how to stay healthy, it is more a problem of education. To my mind, parents should talk more about this with their sons, because teenagers are very influenced people, so at this age, they must be very intelligent and having clear what they want and what not, that’s whats fails, they don’t know this and their only objective is to be cool, If they don`t do what it’s commonly accepted by teenagers, which is going put drinking and smoking, and if you don’t do it, for the you are a frikie. That’s why they should get away from this kind of people even though It’s difficult because the big amount of teenagers are this way, I have live it in first hand.
What is clear is that teenagers must be very carefully with their friends, the ambient were they move and they be serious with what they want to be.

Misleading advertising problematic

Adverts and commercials can influence very much people’s way of thinking and their perception of the world due to marketing strategies very influencing on today’s society.

Young people like, for example, teenagers are even more influenced by this because they are on a age where they haven’t formed a personal opinion and they have not already a clearly defined character.

 As I see it, for example TV adverts are a good way to show to the world a product, its features etc.. and ad mans through advertising agencies are very good describing whatever in an attractive way to make people buy it.

 

To my mind the real problem is misleading advertising because although there are companies which are in charge of this kind of advertising but I think It is not sufficient because since we get up in the morning until we go to bed, we are constantly bombarded by commercials everywhere: on tv, on the radio, on the Internet, in the streets etc… It should be much more controlled.

We have a very clear example on the well-known advertising of Pantene shampoo where the woman who is using it shows that this shampoo produces a very intense pleasure on her even till the point of the orgasm. It is not exactly misleading advertising but shows how this successful tv adverts exaggerate and even invent qualities of the products.

That’s why I think that adverts should be submitted to probes much more strict before announcing it on the media.

Love nowadays.

I think love has evolved over the years and not exactly in a good way.  
In my opinion, may years ago love was much more pure. In the actuality love has transformed into whatsapps, last connections and dedications on instagram.
That's not love, people is more worried about showing that they are happy and in loved than in loving. It is very common on teenage couples which write lots of love's letter declaring themselves eternal love and in question of two weeks they've broken up and they star a "cybernetics war" telling how much they hate the other one.
We are in a era in which we are in love with the idea of love but many times we are not really loving. We fool ourselves thinking we are in love because everybody has always told us that It is such an incredible sensation that If you haven't already felt it you should hurry up and try to feel it as soon as possible.
Society in general put pressure on us to fall in love.

Spanish education.

Today I would like to talk about some aspects of our country, specially of Spanish education.
We don't have any Spanish university among the top 150 best universities in the world, I think that is sign of how our education system is.
I would like to star for one thing very important and in which is based education here: students study to pass, not to learn so they study by heart, when the exam arrives they write it down and inmediately they forget everything or almost everything they had learnt.
That's the big failure of our education.
Teachers and the state in general has focused education in marks and that`s the reason why we have doctors without vocation and people who would have love to study this degree couldn't do it because of a tenths.
I agree with the idea that you must have a basic knowledge to start taking part in each degree but I think that on some cases we should think more in who would do better his job.
Another thing which In my opinion is basic is motivation. Over the years I've had lot of teachers and It changes so much from having one to another... It changes completely the way of studying the subject. But It has to do also with vocation, If teachers studied by vocation they would motivate much more their pupils.
