Anti-Abortion Activist Goes to Trial Over Letter to Doctor

An anti-abortion activist sent a letter suggesting that someone put a bomb in the car of a doctor, and the doctor filed a complaint. Activist lawyers said that what he did was an observation to prevent this professionally prepare to practice abortion. The doctor is in favor of free abortion.

They are still discussing if the card represents a real threat or is it just one more fact. At the moment the activist has a restraining order on the doctor. The complaint was laid by the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division provided to protect freedom of abortion.

Since the murder of doctor and abortion activist free-George Tiller was murdered by his ideals, in Wichita has not been practiced free abortion. Finally an FBI agent considered that the letter posed no threat to anyone. Activist lawyers say their client doesn't collect the violence is a moral philosophy.

Personal Opinion

I feel horrible that someone comes to such extremes just to defend their ideals, because violence is never the solution. Regarding abortion, I agree with freedom of abortion but always with control and without exedirse.

The change from child to adult

There is nothing left to finish high school and start a new stage. A new stage full of changes, new experiences and new challenges. This will supose a big change for me because I will not be under the protection of my mother, but I'll have to wake myself up and get out of all the problems that I find without any help.

On the other hand, I'm not used to living without my mother and neither to live alone. I do not like loneliness at all and I always need someone beside me. At this time I will have to ripen all at once.

But that will be the best time of my life. I really want to meet new people, change of scenery and find myself and know who I am. Still I could define myself because although I have never been out of my comfort zone, but I hope that I like what I will find, and that can improve all the bad aspects of my life. The university is a very beautiful era and I feel fortunate to live it and I thank my parents for making this effort for my future.

Fast Food

Currently, the Spanish food is entering into decline. The gastronomy of our country is characterized by being a very healthy diet, with foods of land and tasty. But lately the Mediterranean diet is being affected by the influence of fast food, especially in the younger generations. Large fast food multinational sell their food as healthy food and used as a hook the trate of a brand with young spirit to attract especially the younger.

But the fault is not all the multinationals, but society is evolving and increasingly pay less attention to more important things.By this I mean, we prefer to eat poorly and base the time in work or other activities. The social system requires us to do this just to optimize the time and make the best economic performance to our activity.

We have to become aware that there is nothing more important than our well-being, and that the work doesn't have to destroy the living standards by which my antecesors worked very hard.

Podcast about one of the thirty human rights: Freedom of slavery

The freedom of slavery is the most important right from my point of view. I consider it important because no one can own the life of another human, and we all have the right to freedom.

Slavery for me not only includes the most archaic way, but also slaves of the XXI century, the prostitutes. Prostitution is the most "modern" form of slavery and also one of the most demeaning. The most striking thing is that Western people participate in these activities claiming women services with full awareness that these are being exploited.

Although slavery seem to be already eradicated, there are still 70 million people enslaved. Human rights must not only be brought to the western countries (where these are not respected at all usually), but also to the poorest countries, because the level of development of a country should not adversely affect its habitants.

A human should be able to have power in their own live and to fulfill himself. Must be free and feel valued and listened the same time he/she must be a social man/woman. No one should be ignored and mistreated because a human being is a social being and breaking this condition would make she or he completely annulled.

Why I Hate School But Love Education-Suli Breaks

"Because as long as you follow the rules and pass exams your cool. But are you aware that examiners have a checklist' And if your answer is something outside the box, the automatic response is a cross, and then they claim that school expands your horizons and your visions".

The school was created to educate and cultivate the population. But it was not created to teach students to properly answer questions and to follow a the standards In the tests the personal views are not contemplated. These only contemplate what comes in the syllabus regulated by the government. 

Besides, both the correction system and exams are done for a class of robotic students, programmed to respond to the teacher what she/he seems to be a good answer and never use their own criteria.

If education were more focused on strengthening the individual criteria of students and to promote personal criticism, and this is taken into account, the system would work more effectively.
