It's time to leave your basement

            Guess what is the most popular topic in students conversations at breaks in school. It is not sport or science but definitely video games.             When we look at gamers society through last few years we can see how fast it is developing. Number of players is constantly increasing. Games are becoming more and more technologically advanced. There are even channels in TV created directly for the players.             Gaming market is becoming really significant. What more – better games needs better computers or gaming consoles. In effect much more people are using more expensive devices, which can stand the newest productions.             But why are they so popular? It’s becoming increasingly rare to see teenagers playing outdoors. Games with multiplayer...

Why extreme right wing politicians like Bolsonaro are becoming more and more popular?

To answer this question we have to look at several incidents that are taking place past few years. Immigrants become a problem. People realized that unemployment is rising because of them and we are still scared after few waves of terror in USA and Europe, which are also associated with illegal immigrants. LGBT is growing in strength. Sexual orientation changing is becoming more popular. Many people can’t stand it any more. Also abortion is still huge problem in many countries but feminists will never give up. Recently they are gaining more and more support what speeds them up. Church is losing its position. People are no longer afraid of criticizing it. Priests are credited with lot of scandals and number of people sneering at faith is growing. All these incidents are waking up extreme right wing. Best examples are Oslo in 2011 (Anders Behring Breivik), Donald Trump in USA or the fresh one – Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil

I don't like puddles

            It was such a bad weather today. When I left school there was no chance to avoid getting wet. Finally I left the bus. I had an umbrella so rain wasn’t so annoying.  I have to make few steps to reach my home from bus stop. Just one thousand meters of joyful trip through the wind. During the walk I have met few types of drivers. Mostly they were trying to avoid splashing water on me. But few of them didn’t. They actually left me with wet socks, shoes and legs below knees.             Fantastic example of human insensitivity. Why people don’t care about each other? Or why are there persons who are not trying to even avoid harming somebody else? Luckily it’s not each person you meet on the street. But still I can’t understand what was intention in splashing water on pedestrians. I am not expecting that everybody will help and love each other but sometimes it is just too mu...

Little change and big difference

People love to complain. Can you remind yourself one day without hearing a single word of lamenting how bad life is? It’s another bus stop reflection. When sitting on the bench I’ve heard few conversations of people talking about their problems. What a variety. After comparing them, quick conclusion is coming. They are really different. And a second one – people love to glorify or make problems that are not supposed to exist or be a worry. We will always be worried about something. There is always a problem. And very often we don’t even try to solve them. And even if we done it we will find another one – guaranteed.  And what when you are not trying to solve it? If it’s nothing serious you will forget about it and find something new to complain. The point is to change the word when describing our “problems”. Just try to say “challenge”.

It's too much of progress

Everybody remember “Wall-e” movie. I was just walking along the road when I saw something special. If you watched “Wall-e” you can’t forget about these people on flying chairs with coke and all these survival kits. So the point is I saw something really similar. The germ of our future and fruit of our laziness. Its name is hoverboard.  Hoverboard is a kind of electric skateboard. Only thing you have to do is move your body a little to drive this machine. If we take a look at our world, technological progress is happening. Most of our inventions are coming up because of our laziness. So are we going to utopia where people don’t need to work and do nothing? Maybe “Wall-e” is presenting possible scenario of our future? Maybe humanity will extinct not because of wars or starvation but because of laziness and too big technological progress?

Faster than light

After another day in school it’s time to come back to home. Sitting on the bus stop bench and waiting for the bus, I’ve heard really loud engine roar. Another madman was riding motorcycle faster than he can. So what is the point of this suicidal street racing? Is it so breathtaking that is worth their lives? What more they are also danger for pedestrians and other street users. Maybe it is a kind of natural selection but I still wonder how many innocents were killed because of these thoughtless performances.  Why are they trying their skills on crowded roads instead of on race tracks or abandoned airports. Even the highway is still better idea than urban streets. But they won’t stop. Their minds are too fixed to end it. They won’t understand how dangerous they are. This annoying roar was and will be symbol of crowded roads.

Meaning of education

Beginning of another school day. Crowd of students is reaching the locker room. Looking like zombies walking from bus stop to school. What is the meaning of education? Why it is a duty? Students are rated like products. They don’t want to learn but they have to. But why they don’t want to? Is it fault in a system? They know this is their future. One day I’ve heard “I don’t have to learn. All that stuff is unnecessary in adult life”.  Clue is that subjects are not interesting enough for a lot of students. If we look at the best universities we can see huge difference in teaching methods. They offer huge choice of subjects, which you can study. You don’t have to learn things you don’t want to. It means that you are creating your own schedule of lessons you want to attend. And who will reject such brilliant way of education in highschool?
