Feminism

Feminism

Lately, there’s been a lot of problems with sexism and related stuff, and I’ll give my opinion about it.

I understand that some women are angry with men, since all along our history, women have been repressed, while men took all the important things. All these women that try to fight for equal right, opportunities, etc… have my support, and I hope that everyone else thinks like me, but then, there’s a “special group”, called the feminazis. These “feminazis” (it’s not an official name) are known for doing what men have been doing all this time, and seems that they just want to take revenge. It’s a shame, because a lot of people think about this group when you says feminism, and it destroys the good and honorable work of the feminists.

In conclusion, I agree with the feminism, as long as it seeks equality of everything between man and women.

Book review

                                                    Perdition's Crossing cover

The book I’ll review is called Perdtion’s Crossing, written by James Waugh. It’s a short book of 10 pages; it belongs to the Starcraft series.

Plot:

The story turns around James Raynor, the marshal of Mar Sara colony. His role is to keep the region calmed and and make sure that everyone accomplishes the law. In this occasion he gets the mission to escort a group of prisoners to prison. It won’t be easy, since he has to cross the Perdition’s Crossing, an area where all the outlaw people go to seek fortune in not very honest ways. He has some difficulties with his own prisoners, but in the end, the thing will go correctly.

My favorite music artist

There are a lot of music artists nowadays, but, since a very long time, I have clear idea about my favorite one.

Before I mention it, I’ll make some honorable mentions that I like a lot too.

Fleetwod Mac:

I’ve discovered this band not so long ago, and I regret it. I knew its principal vocalist from before, who is Stevie Nicks, but in combination with the other members, they rock a lot!

Blue Öyster Cult:

I discovered this band about one or two years ago, and almost every day I discover a new song, and I love it. They do a lot of rock kinds, from hard rock to psychodelic music, but they always manage to get me whatever they do!

Finaly…

And finally, my favorite music artist: I discovered them with the Transformers movie, which I saw when I was a child. In that move, there was a song called “What I’ve done”, and that was their first song I heard. I’m talking about Linkin Park. This band aired with their first album called “Hybrid Theory”, in the year 1998. Since then, they’ve been working in a lot of new albums, and experienced with different types of music, which caused a bit of hate against them, but I keep saying that they are the best.

Movie review

The planet of the apes cover

The movie that I’ll review in this essay is named: The Planet of the Apes and I’m sure you’ve heard about it.

The movie was aired in 1968, and was directed by Franklin Shaffner. It was inspired on the novel with the samen name.

Plot:

In the year 1974, four astronauts are sent to space in an exploring mission. The captain of the ship, George Taylor (Charlton Heston) has calculated that, with the Theory of Relativity of Einstein, the time on Earth will be accelerated. The mission has taken 18 months; while on Earth have passed 2006 years since the launch of the ship.

During the voyage, a malfunction in the ship has caused the death of one of the astronauts, and finally, the ship ends up falling into an unknown planet. The three remaining explorers get out of the ship and start exploring this new planet. A bit later, they discover life form, but in a weird and disturbing way. In this world, “humans” behave like animals, and they are being exterminated by some kind race of apes.

Our three humans end up separating from each other, and get captured by the apes. Since now, the story will focus on the captain Taylor, and with him, we’ll learn about this strange ape society, and the mysterious story of this unknown planet…

Sacred temple from 16th century that was hidden emerges from lake due to severe drought (News)

News:

Recently in Mexico, near the small town of Santa María Jalapa del Marques, in the south-east of Mexico, a religious temple has been discovered again.

That long-hidden religious temple of the 16^th century has been discovered thanks to a long and drought, which caused a decrease of the 40 per cent of the water level.

The temple was built by monks of the Dominican order, who came to the area around the 15^th century. The building has been deteriorating since those ages, considering that it’s been flooding periodically, and then, once more, getting visible due to droughts and other causes, repeating the process since a lot of time.

Female-only police unit whose officers wore skimpy uniforms and high-heels is disbanded for damaging the force's image (News)

News:

Recently in Mexico, a just women police body has been disbanded. The reason is simple. This police unit was just composed by females, and all of them were wearing a sexy uniform as they were doing their work. This police body has not been completely removed, it just has been remodeled. Now, they wear normal uniform as everyone else, and participate in normal police activities. One of the woman of the unit said that it’s better this way, since they get a lot more respect and don’t get taken as a joke.

Opinion:

I think also that it’s been a good thing to do, since I think that cops must get considered as serious and respectable people, as long as they do their respective jobs correctly, no matter the sex they are.

Paris is too dirty for Japanese tourists (News)

Summary:

Since Paris is one of the top places visited by Japanese tourists, with 600.000 tourists visiting the capital per year, some Tokyo tourisms agencies have claimed that the city is too dirty, and they began a cleanup operation. They want to make the city even more clean, all of that for their own people and tourists, who have very high standards. Paris is visited by that amount of Japanese tourists because it exists there the idealization of the ”love city”, but then, when they come, the don’t see what they expected, and then want to make the city better.

Opinion:

I think that it’s exaggerated; some people think that Paris is a leisure park, but it’s like any other city in the world.
