My views on Education

Together with health, education is the most important pillar on which countries and civilizations rest. Its nature is vital because beyond knowledge, teachers convey moral principles and their concept of the world of life.
Since ancient times there have been people who have felt inclined to giving others the intellectual weapons which will help them out. Thus, through out history, philosophers, religious people, teachers, instructors have been respected and highly thought of as the ones who keep the seed of knowledge and wisdom for the future generations.
However, the axiom of the immaculate temple has ceased to be true, it seems, to give way to a kind of school devoid of moral foundations, populated by tired teachers and disinterested students, blind as to aims and purposes, to mention but a few of its frivolous features.
The future of education defies any prognosis as it appears as sombre as it can be.

The world of fashion

Together with the film industry, the world of fashion is indeed one of the most attractive, glamorous and tantalizing places of work.
Nowadays, lots of people, namely designers, photographers and models, earn their living out of the changing tendencies in clothes, shoes and hairdos. Outside this universe, shop owners, dress makers and haberdashers make a mint thanks to these changes. And last but certainly not least, are the consumers, women, and more recently men, who are hypnotised by Christian Dior’s or Armani’s designs.
No doubt, fashion implies creation and imagination among other things, but it also conveys frivolity that lead people, especially shallow married to a wealthy man, woman to waste the money their husbands have earned on silly items of clothing that will become obsolete in a few weeks’ time.


The role of women in society

There is no other individual or institution whose role has been discussed so extensively as that of women. Historically, a woman has played an only one role: she had to become a mother or a wife; in the past a hundred and fifty years, however, she has had a vast participation in other fields and has gained rights which can sometimes be regarded as a loss if we consider that now she has multiplied her tasks without increasing her wages.
On the other hand, we can not ignore that the role she plays in a community depends on which society we are discussing religious, social, cultural patterns will determine whether a woman can reach the presidency of a nation or if she will be relegated to the kitchen and the nursery.
Anyway, one fact can not be denied; female participation is on the increase and it is not going to stop.

Living in a foreign country

Have you ever thought of settling in your dream country? It is undoubtedly a big decision to make, but it can often change your life for the better.
One of the main advantages is that it gives you the opportunity to experience an entirely different way o life which can be a valuable form of education. Moreover, one is given the chance to learn and become more fluent in another language through every day use. In addition, many people become more independent and self reliant by having to cope with difficult situations on their own. Finally, living in a country with different climate can prove benefice to both one’s health and state of mind. On the other hand, even if you try your hardest to adapt to your new surroundings it is likely that you will often experience moments of isolation, frustration and loneliness. This can be caused by communication problems, especially if you cannot speak the language yet. What is more, finding a job can often be a stressful experience as in some countries foreigners are not easily accepted. In my view, living successfully in a foreign country depends on the individual. The more effort that is made to take part and become part of one’s new surroundings, the more welcome and comfortable one will fell.
