Europe (Essay)

Should Europe be united?

Europe is called the “old continent”, because almost all the important history has happened here, and during a lot of time, was the cultural/ economical/ technological centre of the world.

We’ve a common history, not always we’ve been in agreement between us, we have differences, and we worked in a different way for some time. But now with the creation of the European Union, would be easier to make an unique county in Europe, the sentiment of be united arrived after the second great war, and then in Europe the things seemed to have calm down, especially after the cold war, considering that now we have the same economical market and interests. 

Is competition good? (Essay)

Is competition good?

The competition is factor that encourages realizing or being over the rest in almost everything task we do, whatever if it’s just a friend-competition or a business competition between two enterprises.

I think to have a competitive spirit is a good vantage in order to be a successful one; It will help you to try to exceed your own abilities, to motivate yourself and be over your rivals.

But to be a very competitive person could be bad in excess; you would lose your friends and close people.

There’s an ideal nexus between to be competitive and to be a very competitive person,

Should we be independents? (Essay)

SHOULD WE BE INDEPENDENTS?

The Catalonian independence is a topic that has been increasing in our country a lot for the last years, mainly for the economical crisis that we’re living right now.

Well, I am not following the matter much closer, because I think I would be glad whatever if Catalonia were independent or not. But I think that the reasons in pro of the union would win. There are a lot of reasons in pro and in counter, but the most reason that I follow is: We should stay united, because we are very small countries compared with some big powers, and would be useless to split up, in the union there’s the force.

Has science gone too far? (Essay)

HAS SCIENCE GONE TOO FAR?

Has science gone too far? It’s a question that a lot of people try to answer, maybe the fact that the technology had evolved faster than ever in the last century, could make someone to think about how the technology could arrive in 200 hundred years.

I think it’s a dangerous thing to keep in mind, because in nowadays, with all the research stuff someone with low-ethic principles just could create something over the humankind possibilities, like a very strong virus, or a mortal weapon, and he could do it easily.

The science should be moderated, and focused firstly to the research of how to resolve our actual problems, and not to search for others.

DIfferences and similyties between "The best of times" and "Thirteen"

DIfferences and similyties between "The best of times" and "Thirteen"

Each movie/book speaks about the difficults that the adolescense takes, it could be a hard age to live, and there are some factors that influence in the behaviour and road to the bad ending.

For example, Chee Seng, firstly was a happy young boy, but since their parents broke, he passed trought such bad things, his history is similar to Trace's one, they went trought the bad way, they left their homework, had discussions with their family, influenced by some bad friend that they just took some issues to them, etc...

But there are differences too, Tracey just got bad influenced because she wanted to be popular and not be  herself anymore. With Chee Seng was different, he saw how his parents broke, while his father was infidel to his mother, he saw how his dog was murdered by a car and then he blamed his friends.
Finally he got influenced by a bad boy because he was alone, without anyone to talk about his problems he went to the bad way and took some problems with the law, and then some sentimentals too. But finally he managed to solve his problems with the help of his beloved familiars.

In the end, both of them seemed to had solved a lot of their problems and it seems that they are going to the good way.
