Children learn sexism at school

Nearly 1,300 girls, some as young as seven, took part in the survey, and come from every part of the country and each social class. 

Even more shocking, perhaps, is the fact that much of the harassment (from sexual jokes or taunts, to unwanted sexual attention, touching or images that made them uncomfortable) happens at school, because there aren't parents, sick with fear over the new dangers of the internet or the increased sexualisation of music videos or films. More than a third of girls over the age of seven have been made to feel stupid because of their gender. 

About a fifth of the 50,000 entries to the Everyday Sexism Project so far come from young girls. Just look at the website to find examples from the tsk-inducing to the heartbreaking. The ability to use those images to harass and harm must also have gone up too. The curriculum for sex education in schools hasn't changed in 14 years and makes little attempt to include the internet. Girlguiding UK is the sort of association that Gove and the coalition should love.

In my opinion, it's an excellent idea changing the curriculum for sex educaction, because nowadays youngsters are aware that this is happening but don't know the reasons or what to do if they find themselves in that kind of situation.

Humour with ''La que se avecina'' and '' Modern Family''




Firstly we chose the topic of the oral presentation and we know since the first time that we wanted to do it about laugh.

Meanwhile we were thinking that we had to explain the well-known Spain TV series called “La Que Se Avecina”. Nowadays for us is the best comedy series in the TV. When we started the project it was to empty that we had to include the American TV series, “Modern Family”. Therefore we could do a comparation between them. 

When I did the oral presentation I started too nervous that I had to write a little. After that I thought that I mustn’t do it so I decided to let the paper on the table and do it by myself. Surely I said wrong words yet I considered having wrong mark for saying it badly than for reading the paper. 

In my opinion the presentation was very good and the videos much more. Due to put a normal video we choose an outtake and what’s more, the people couldn’t expect it.

I hope to do it better in the next presentation nevertheless this one wasn’t too bad.


Is humour necessary?



Laughter is a very good action.  All people laugh while there are people who laugh all the time, other only do it a few times. I believe laughter is the best medicine.

Everyone has a particular humour but all we always laugh with some common things, for example, with a good photo, when TV says a funning thing or when you walk and see children running or playing.

It doesn’t mine if you are ill or have problems with money or don’t have a family, you have to look for the way to laugh, because it is the best thing all the same, the problems pass.

Happiness is free, you don’t have to pay anything, so you have to live life and laugh as much as you can.
 
Humour is one of the best things we have and we don’t have to miss the change.

Body piercing controls wheelchair



Body piercings have been used to control wheelchairs and computers in move scientists believe could transform the way people interact with the world after paralysis.


The piece of news shows us what we can do with the tongue. In our world, there are a lot of people with wheelchairs, and should not be a problem, however this isn’t not like this. If you always dream with a body piercing, now is the moment! One US team developed a new system: if you have a piercing in the tongue you will control the wheelchair or a computer. The piercing has a tiny magnet that produces a magnetic field which the person can control some range of devices. Due to one part of the brain is dedicated to controlling the tongue.


With this microchip this kind of person could dial a phone, change the channel on the TV or even type.  In other words, they would have unlimited number of instructions only moving the tongue.


Nowadays, there is a case study and the results are very positive, because people can suffer tetraplegia is better than another person who didn’t have any disease.  Whatever the scientists are working in it and they will have more progress in the future.


This is one of the best notice which I have read in a lot of time. One we have to look up and see that the technology never stops, and always carry on.  To be honest is an excellent project, and it will have a good advantage from the people who doesn’t have enough luxuries.

Miley Cyrus isn't a child



She may have scandalized America but the former Disney child star should be applauded for finding a path to adult celebrity that is defiantly her own

Miley Cyrus became an actress with 12 years old with the Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana series. The story talks about a family where succeeded a lot of things. She portrayed the main character Miley Stewart. After that, she released Hannah Montana 2. Also she recorded a film. In these moments she sang like Hannah around the world, but the passage of time she realized that she couldn’t be Hannah all the life, and she stared to sing on her own.

Miley began to cultivate more adult in 2009 after the release of their first album, which introduced more commercial pop sound.

Miley just celebrated her 21st birthday and she now is renowned a pop and hip hop star, sex and drugs and very provocateur of the same caliber as Madonna. For instance at the MTV Video Music awards she implied a dancer. More over she lit a marijuana cigarette on the stage.

She is the starkest example yet of the way in which child stars like ex children of the Disney Channel has to do to make people forget that they aren’t children, they became an adults.

From my point of view this people aren’t doing the right, because they will have to  continue with their lives but they chose the best way and they happen to be wonderful children to rebels from day to night.
 
















Basically you only have to see her last song:
