The Coming Environmental Catastrophe

In the Ukraine-Russian war a new threat came into play - radioactive Chernobyl. This highly contaminated exclusion zone is a new target for the Russian military as their base and connection to Kyiv. The environmentalists are petrified of the consequences of this occurring. As for now, the radiation readings are rising because of the stirred up dust caused by tanks.  

I thought it could not be any worse than it has already been, but it is. It’s now becoming more and more apparent that the Russian President doesn’t care about anything. In 1986 when the Chernobyl disaster happened some many lives were sacrificed for our survival and better future. And for what? The zone is still dangerous, and it’s the threat for the entire continent and the future of our planet within the still visible issue of climate change. Nobody in the world should think that they have a right to do such a thing and to put humanity in jeopardy only to win a useless war.

    Far from trying to defend Putin, the decision to take Chernobyl was apparently a scare tactic: people hear the name, get terrified, share their panic and all this works to Putin's advantage.

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.
