Mona Lisa gets caked...

On May 29 in the Louvre Museum a climate change protestor smeared cake on the Mona Lisa while dressed as an elderly woman. He was able to sneak a cake with the help of the wheelchair that he used as a part of the cover. His initial idea was to firstly break the bulletproof glass and then proceed to smear a painting but that didn’t happen... The French activist said that his intention was to force people to think about the planet and people who destroy it.

To be honest, it’s hard for me to understand how destroying a famous painting with a cake is supposed to help save the planet. I get the message “think of the earth” was to mean how we are all getting upset over a beloved painting instead of worrying about climate change. But I can’t say that I support what he did. His idea of promoting environmental awareness isn’t what anyone is going to remember about this incident.

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.

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.

What is sustainability?

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. Moreover, sustainability most commonly means: maintaining the world we live in.
