First Graders

It has come to my attention, that a lot of first grade students are far more childish than we were in their position. The things that they sometimes do are questionable... For example, I once saw them playing Twister at the center of the main hall, or they are locking each other in the lockers. But not only their behavior is a sign of their immaturity, but also their looks. They seemed to look much younger than they are.    

Well, to be fair, first grades don’t bother me that much. It’s just funny to look at them once in a while, and see in them that “child spirit”. They still have a mind of a kid from primary school, that innocence and freedom. I don’t know if mature part of me sees them as inferior, or I am just jealous of them. They don’t care that this is high school and big decisions will come to them sooner or later. I guess I was the same and still partially am.

    You might be right in noticing that they are probably more childish than you were at their age. The lockdown slowed down the natural process of socialization and emotional maturity so they may indeed be far more immature than the previous intakes of students.

Brands on Social Media

It’s not hard to notice that with the progress of social media, we’ve started using them in completely different ways, in comparison to the early beginnings. I would say at first, all platforms were for regular people. But nowadays every brand has an YT channel, an account on every social media and I don’t know in my opinion it’s unnecessary. I had so many eye roll moments when I scroll through Twitter and a Polish Netflix account tries so hard to be relatable.  I guess brands started to act like people and people started acting like brands. Influencers with brand deals which come with money are sometimes losing the humane part of their content. So, in that way companies are basing their content on relatability- cause some people like that. I mean I don’t care about what Netflix thinks about Pikachu, I want to know what movies are added next month. Examples:

Is fake news a serious problem in the contemporary world?

I think that fake news is a serious problem. We hear them every single day. They can spread all over the world in a couple of hours or even minutes. In that short amount of time fake news is becoming viral and hard to overcome. That’s way they are so dangerous. Many people can’t tell what is fake and what is real. We don’t realize how great influence fake news has on us. They change our perspectives or force us to believe in their idea of true. We should fight against fake news not treat them blankly. Maybe then they will become less harmful.

In the 21 st century for many people it’s important to safe our planet from the dangerous consequences of global warming. One of the ways to ensure it is to change our way of living. That’s when it comes the idea of sustainability. 20 years ago, scientists from Sweden developed definition of sustainability with 4 basic principles: REDUCE -         “carbon footprint” -        dependance on heavy metals -        dependance on synthetic chemicals -        destruction of nature   By following these 4 rules you will make a major change.
