Violence at School

Hello everybody!

This time I decided to write about violence at school on the grounds that nowadays is a huge problem.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnAn1kqaEzs If you follow this link, you will see the video in which an adolescent of fifteen years old being cruelly hit by a classmate. As you may know, this situation took place in the province of Cordoba, and when I saw it I started to think about violence at school. Now when you see or hear about instances of violence at school one of the questions that arises is why adolescents are so violent today. I mean, when I went to school this didn’t happen frequently, whereas now is quite common to hear that students take knives or guns to school or that they fight there. Then, another question is if we can find a solution to this issue.

One day, my sister who is a teacher told me about an event of violence that took place in the school where she works. Two teenage girls were fighting in the yard during break time and one of the teachers told them to stop. The thing was that they didn’t obey her and continued fighting. The teacher didn’t know what to do, she said that she got really scared, so she went and called the principal. When the principal went, the girls had already stopped, but they were suspended for their behavior.

All in all, I think that something must be done! We, as future teachers can talk to students and their parents or tutors about the consequences of violence and make them see the seriousness of this problem.

Now, what do you think about violence at school? What should be done when this happens? Is there a way to prevent it?   

Let's Celebrate Life!

Again, this time I decided to share with you a musical video.This song belongs to Axel Fernando who is, at least for me, one of the most talented musicians in Argentina. The name of the song, as you may surely know, is "Celebra la vida". 

Yesterday, when I was listening to this well known song, I started to think about its lyrics. I thought how is possible to celebrate life everyday? That is quite hard, I mean life is not easy and we have little time for pleasures, most of the time we have to study or work. But then, I got to the conclusion that in fact it is possible. That is, to celebrate every moment of our life does not necessarily mean having pleasures such as being with friends or going to parties, it means enjoying every single thing we do in our daily lives. 

All in all, I think we should all stop complaining about our responsabilities and start paying more attention to the bright side of life. In that way, we can take advantage of everything we have and enjoy fully our lives. 

Now,I want to ask you a question, Do you think that we spend too much time complaining instead of celebrating life?

  

Me and my guitar

Here you can see me and my adorable guitar. I chose this picture because it was taken two years ago when I was given the guitar as a present. I remember vividly how happy I was, since I always wanted to have this instrument and learn how to play it. This guitar means a lot to me on the grounds that when I feel alone she is my only companion. When I play it I feel so released that I forget about reality and transfer myself to my own world where everything is happiness and peace. If you asked me which material thing I would save if my house got burnt, I would surely say “my guitar!”

Now, I would like to know what material thing is so important for you and why.  

The love of animals

This time I decided to share with you this video because I got amazed when I saw it, it made me cry! The video is about a lion called Christian that was raised by two boys. As he became older, the owners weren't able to take care of him any longer, so they decided to let him free and took him to the wild. A year later, the boys went to the jungle to visit Christian and they were told by the guide that they weren't going to be recognized by their lion. Amanzingly, the lion did recognized them and went straight to them and showed how much he missed and loved them. It is really hard to believe what happened, isn't it? This video can teach us that animals have feelings as human beings.

Where is the love?

This is a wonderful song of the band Black Eyed Peas. Though I am not a fan of this group, I think that the lyrics of this particular song are amazing. That is, it is a protest against all social problems that interpose into our daily lives and don't let us be free beings and love each other. As the lyrics are so interesting to think and reflect, I decided to pick this song to make the project for the practicum at school, since I think that it is good to make students that are about 17 and 18 years old think about all these things and develop a critical opinion.

I wonder if one day the world is gonna change, if one day violence and discrimination will be over. I think that what I’m asking is too much, isn’t it? 

Dog saves another dog

In this video we can see how a dog risks his life to save his companion that suffered an accident. I think that human beings should take this as an example to follow.

Candela Missing Child

The insecurity in Argentina is terrible! Nowadays children cannot go out alone, since you never know if they will come back. Something must be done at respect immediately. Candela is not the first child that disappears.
