Thesis Statement

Changing your name

Nowadays changing your birthname is becoming a very popular phenomenon, because it gives people freedom to chose how they want to be called in case the dislike the name they were given. However. There are several points you should consider before changing your name. For example, it can provoke confusion, moreover you would have to modify all your important documents.

Globalization

Although globalization has made easier travelling the world, it also provokes the loss of diversity as many countries are loosing their language, ancient traditions or typical meals.

Gun Ownership

Although owning a gun is the second  amendment in the USA constitution, it shouldn't remain valid nowadays as it provokes an increase in violence and deaths.

Internet for refugees

To start, I agree with Zuckerberg's opinion that there should be internet in the refugee's camps. There might be some people who think that it is a waste of time and money, and that they should help them more by sending them food or medicines. Some others, may think that this is just another strategy from facebook to gain more users.

However, once that these basics have been covered or are in process, I admit, that internet can be an extremely useful device. Especially for those people who have lost track of some of their relatives or friends trhoughout their journey. In these cases, it is remarkable the labour that some social networks, for instance facebook or twitter, are doing. A good example of their work was seen during the latest terrorist attacks to find people who were missing.

Finally, internet offers them the possibility of having access to the latest news and stay somehow in touch with the exterior world, so that they can feel less frogotten.

Conclusion: restatement of the thesis and summary 

Opinion Paragraph:

Schools should give more importance to creative subjects. Lately it is becoming more popular the theory of multiple talents or capacities in education. That is a great point against the traditionl way of teaching at schools, which gave a speacil importance to subjects like mathematics, history, grammar... and children were taugh to do things in a determined way, almost automatically.This, appart from killing creativity in kids, provoke frustration in those ones who have another way of understanding or other kind of habilities. Therefore, it is important to promote subjects that favor the development of originality such as painting, music or literature. These  subjects help the students work up their personalities as they offer them an infinite amount of possibilities of doing something which will be extremly usefull for them in a futur when they will have to find a job, because specially nowadays with so much competition, having innovative ideas can make the difference. There are many the benefits in the development of creativity in young people and if society were more concerned about it we would have more cultural richness and people would be happier working on what they really like. Quoting Robin Williams ''Medicine, law, business, engineering: these are nobel pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance...these are what we stay alive for.''

Opinion Paragraph

The goverment should create more green spaces in cities. Nowadays the number of buildings in big cities has  increased considerably. One of the most important consequences of this, is the lost of biodiversity , as well as the the rise of pollution.Caused by the wastes of the construction process  and the amount of energy used in it. As a result, I consider that citizens should ask for the creation of more green spaces in their cities or  towns, because in addition to being charming and relaxing sites, where they can disconnect from city strife it is demonstrated that plants can help reducing the amount of pollution. So If we had more green spaces we could have nicer views and enjoy the benefits of plants.

Descriptive paragraph

My favourite place to  study is my bedroom which is located in the attic, so it is a large and  quiet place where I can easily concentrate.The only downside is the temperature, which is very high during summer and almost freezing during winter.  There is also a big window right  behind my desk, so the luminosity is perfect. The walls are painted in pastel colors and full of posters. On the left wall there are three venetian masks while on the right wall there is a wooden clock. The ceiling of the bedroom is white and there is a hanging lamp in the middle of it, just above my bed. At the background, there are a big dark wooden wardrove and a shelf where I have some of my favourite books. I specially love working in my bedroom on rainy days when i  can hear  the water falling just above me, I find it very relaxing.

Guernika

Whenever I look at this painting, I feel just like if time had been frozen that 26th April 1937 and I were caught inside a surrealistic universe of agony and destruction, where nothing has sense and all you can see is horror and suffering. I can almost hear the screams of panic and the lamentations for the lost ones. The image of the mother carrying her baby's corpse is the anguish itself and chaos reigns over every single brushstroke.
