Interview with an expert on your interest

Nomophobia

In my environment people are really addicted to they're phones. No one can be away from his phone or just be like one hour without cheking if they got a message.

In my vision it can't be positive to be all day next to your phone. It has radiations that affet on a negative way on our health, to avoid that a little bit, at night we can turn off uor phones.
The phones also have some positive things like that you can communicate really fast with you friends, read news or wath TV programs. 


In conclusion, we shoudn't be so much hour together with our phones because it affects in a negative way on our health and sometimes if we are at school we don't attend because we are looking more on our phone than listening to the teacher. 

Ukraine rebels hold referendums in Donetsk and Luhansk

Pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine's two eastern regions are holding "self-rule" referendums - a move condemned by Ukraine's government and the West.

Self-proclaimed leaders in Donetsk and Luhansk regions are going ahead with the vote despite Russian President Vladimir Putin's call to postpone it.
Ukraine condemned the vote as a "criminal farce" organised by Russia.

An official in Kiev, national security chief Andriy Parubiy, said: "We do not consider there to have been a referendum."
Comment:

In my opinion, they might let the civilians express their thought. I think this is a violation of the human right that is about the freedom of speech. In the current time shouldn't be situations like this one in Ukraine. Normal modern goverments let their civilization express their opinio and decide what they want to do.
In conclusion, both countries, Russia and Ukraine, should speak to each other to fins a peaceful solution.

http://www.bbc.com/news/business-27336863

Technology giant Apple is in talks to buy headphone maker and music-streaming service provider Beats Electronics, according to various media reports.

This would cost 3.2bn Dollars. If they finally buy it will be the biggest acquisition ever of Apple.

Comment: it would be a really big enrichment for this company. They after might have more benefits than now. It looks like that in the future there will be just one company because the big companies just buy the smaller ones. With this actions the companies that buy the other ones have more capacity to offer new products.

Can money buy everything: The marketisation of society?

11.      Up for sale        
22.      Civic values/goods that markets do not honor they can’t buy.   

  In my vision the most of the think are up for sale, it just depends of how much money we pay for the different things. We live in a society were money is really important, just because all is up for sale. Like we can see in the current example of the skyboxes of the soccer stadiums, you can buy it with money, that reflects that very much civic values are affordable.
  
  And we can see that for money we would do everything, it just depends of how much money they give you for something. 
  
  There are also some values that you can't buy. For example it's impossible to buy the love of your family or yur partner.

  In conclusion, I think in our society much things are up to sale, so your happiness can be bigger with more money and material goods. But we will never be happy if we don't have the values that aren't up for sale like the love of your family.

Education is the key, School is the lock

"Education is about inspiring ones mind not just filling their head"

About this sentence I think that it's very true. In my vision much exams like in my case filosophy or history, the day before you just fill you head with information and the day after the exam you don't remember nothing. This way of studing might not be the best you, we must try to inspire the mind of the students so they like to learn new thinks. In that way they don't learn just because of beeing successfull in the exam, they learn to know more things about the topic they are learning.


"Memorize equations, facts and dates, write it down to the letter, half of whitch I forget straight after the exam"

Mr. Obama
White House
Washington DC

Dear Mr. Obama,
I am writing to complain a violation of the human right that is about the freedom of thought. This right is not respected in Crimea, the people are dominated by the military of Russia and they just took Crimea to their country.

First of all, I would appreciate that the United States of America took action against the Russian government, because they are doing what they want with the people from Ukraine. From outside it looks like Putin, the president of Russia, can do whatever ever he wants and has no opposition.

I would be grateful if the USA took action because it gives the impression that the president of Russia wants to get all Ukraine without respecting what the ordinary people from the place think about him. He do not respect the freedom of thought.

Yours sincerely,

Moritz Heckmann
