La decadencia de la metira (Oscar Wilde) Code: Ir 822 W672d.E 2007 c. 1

In this book the author wants to show us the decline that art has had the latest decades. Also, He try to make a reflection on arts as the art of lie, In addition, we can say that lies are a kind of art too; because, is not something natural, on the contrary is something created by people.
Art is one of the most beautiful things in the world, because we can transform reality and nature into beauty with our imagination. Furthermore, if we think about art, we realized that is in everywhere that man has done something; since, men create ways to communicate something, making things more pleasant, or maybe just with the intention to show a point of view about something specific, or maybe a cosmo-vision; Nonetheless, it can be said, that nature is also art, but, is because someone can see it as art. For this reason, art is not something natural, because the human being is who construct reality from his own subjectivity.
In addition, contemporary artist, such as writers, they insist in try to make art more similar to reality, and that make art becomes in something quite distorted, and weird; owing to this, the author says that art has being decline. However, the author try to state that art is always being art, not reality, because that is the main characteristic of art, is been something subjective. Moreover, he talks about the lie within art, he reflect that the main guilty of the decadence in art is the bad use of lies, since writers are trying so hard to write something alike to life, that nobody is going to believe that it’s probably.
Personally I think, the scientific paradigm has transformed everything, they have changed the main concept of art that is the lie, and that is the writer tries to say; furthermore, contemporary artist try to prove everything, that they lost their capacity of create, or lie as the author call it. Lie is the most beautiful thing that humans have, and they are killing it.

Favorite website

First of all, I have to say that I don’t have a favorite website, because I not very into computers, but that doesn’t mean that I think that computer and internet is useless, actually I think that nowadays the internet is one of the most powerful tool that it have been created, because of its capacity of communicate; and also, the large variety of information that is not omitted; moreover, that is one of its best characteristics, since you can upload whatever you want to show and share with people, and then find people interested in the same things than you. That’s why I think, is a tool very useful to communicate and maybe to get communicate, that depends on the website you are watching. However, there are some websites are good; for example, the ones that want to inform, such as virtual newspapers, and there are plenty of blogs that are interesting, normally I found them when I’m looking for some specific topic. There is a magazine that I visit when I’m bored, because sometimes it has articles very interesting, is called: muyinteresante.es, if you are bored take a look in this website, maybe you can find something that strike your attention.

The fee tuiton on education

I found a piece of news that talk about the fee of tuition on universities. It says the fee of tuition to enter to an university has increasing. To this situation the Education secretary said that they cannot do anything, because there are not resources to support the scholarship of every student. However, for this reason university student federations said that government could create a capital state found to pay or give more credits to more quantity of students. In the article the writer made a reflection of what are the consequences of the rise in the fee of college. They said that, if high educational system follows this economic structure in which students have to pay a very high cost for their tuition; then, students won’t have the chance of choose the program that they want, since they will be preferring programs that they could afford; otherwise, they will be taking that decision, because of the fee and not because of their own vocation.
In my opinion, what the article says is very true, since often students choose programs in which they are not very convinced, because they couldn’t afford the one they really wanted, because they don’t have the capacity to pay. I think that, is the wrong way to do things, since then we’ll have an unhappy society in which we would have people quite unpleasant with their jobs; for example, this situation happen often with teacher’s profession, that is the ones with lower cost, and as we can see, there are many teachers that are unmotivated with their job. In addition to this, I think that government should take the control of the fee in universities to make it more balanced in terms of the options that students will have.

Mr. Condom makes the difference

I think what Mr. Condom has done in Thailand it has been pretty important example to our world, because this person is focused on one of the main problems that undeveloped countries have. The problem is that overpopulation mixed with poverty, and this creates an unbalanced within the society, since, if there are too much population living in poverty, one of the alternatives to stop this situation is improving one of this two conditions. Although, to change poverty is a very difficult issue, and it isn’t a minor topic, I believe that first we must to start with a change into minds of people, not trying to solve poverty giving money, or whatever solution that tries to solve problems easily, and without thinking. Now, a way in that we can really help to this situation is spreading information, as it is showed in the program of Mr. Condom, there in Thailand the campaign to make people more aware about the topic in discussion was very strong, since there were people in everywhere, in every corner of the country spreading the information, and sealing the solution. I think Mr. Condom program has been very effective, since he attack the problem from the beginning. In addition, it is more important control the increase of population, since if they can’t afford their basic needs, then how they can cover needs of more members inside the house?, and moreover, how they can think in an effective way to solve their economic problems, if they just can think in fight with their daily needs.
I think is not difficult to find the solutions to some social problems, and this video help me to realized and understand that, because we just have to think a little bit in the problem, and with this I mean the origin of the problem, and then act, not doing things partially, since that don’t fix the problem. Also, another thing that this video leaves me thinking about is that the whole problems of society become from ignorance. And when I think of it, I feel very glad for have been chosen teaching as a job in my life. Otherwise, I would feel trapped seen the problem, but unable to do anything.

My favourite song at the moment

the song is called "Help,I'm Alive",and is from Metric. This song have been stick in my head, since almost two months. At the first time, I like inmediately the music,I mean the sounds, I like when the sounds change. Then when I started listen to the lyrics, they have sense for me when it says "If I stumble, they gonna eat me alive", beacuse I really feel that if I stop, or if I fall down in this system that is going very fast, I'm going to be mash. Have you ever feel something like that?. Also,this song make me think about people who are apart of this system, such as beggars, and poor people in general, and people who had an awful life beacuse of the circumstances they have to pass, and I think they say as the song, "Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer", but we don't realized about it, but in the real sense, they are alive!. I think this society have to reconsider what it means being alive, face the problems, and don't pass over the problems. this song make me thik about all of this things.

This is the song: METRIC, Help,I'm Alive

I tremble
They're going to eat me alive
If I stumble
They're going to eat me alive

Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer?
Beating like a hammer?
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft
Tough to be tender

Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

If you're still alive
My regrets are few
If my life is mine
What shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going
I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing
And my heart still beats . . .
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft
Tough to be tender

Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

If you're still alive
My regrets are few
If my life is mine
What shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going
I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing
And my heart still beats . . .
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
