Reflection 3


Last week my mum told me that maybe I like chemistry because I have it in my genes. My grandfather and grandmother were chemists so that was what she ment. After that I started thinking what actually has influence on our interests and talents and then who we become in the future. I think it is mostly an individual matter but also people surrounding us has a huge impact on this. First of all, usually we like subject not only because we're interested in this topic but also because of our teachers. It's them who makes us being motivated to learn more. Second of all, I think that our parents do have some sort of impact on our future jobs. It can be negative because e.g we want to be different from them and have completely different job or we are amazed by what they do so we want to follow their steps.
  On the other hand maybe we are born with talents and we just develop them during our lives. It can't be just a coincident that there are families which members chose the same careers. One of the examples is Gierymski symblings-Aleksander and Maksymilian. They are both famous Polish painters.
  To sum up I think that biology may have influence in this matter but the most important in developing our skills is what we do for ourselves to improve them.

    It may be like this, but have you thought about what impacts us the most? Teachers, parents or genetisc? it may be really usefull to know what and how can shape your life without even noticing it.

    I'm afraid the debate about what has more influence on us - our genes or the envirnment in which we grow up - has not been resolved yet. There is research, for example on twins, pointing in both directions.

    I never experienced situation that my parents told me what I must to do for a living, but your illustration of teacher who discourage students for their subject is familiar. Not all teachers, of course, but a lot of them are boring or mean for students and effectively discourage them for their lessons.

Living off the land of Hawaii

  Nowadays we're dependent on big industries and I think that it's a problem. Usually we have to buy food that shops provides us but it's getting less healthy because it's mass grown and polluted by dangerous chemicals. Whereas, if it's organic, it's usually more expensive. This video shows that there're still people who provides food for themselves by hunting or growing it. For some it may seem primitive but I think that it's better for the environment, healthier for us and also cheapier. words: remote place, descendant, self-sufficiency People usually don't live in remote areas. Children aren't self-suffient because they're dependent on their parents. After king's death his descendant inherits the crown. . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJXEepvG6Hc&pbjreload=10

Guernica

                               GUERNICA As a conclusion of the topic about Picasso I decided to write about Guernica. It's a painting which Pablo painted in 1937 and now it's known at the global scale. It's probably one of the most famous paintings of Picasso. It is 349 cm high and 776 cm wide, so it's more like a mural painting but it's not on the wall but on a huge canvas. The whole process of creating was documented by a photographer who he dated then, Dora Maar. It can be know admired in the National Museum of Art in Madrid with her photos. The history of the masterpiece refers to the bomb that was dropped at a village in the North of Spain, Guernica. It caused a lot of damage including killing many civils. This was actually the first time when the artist painted something as a reaction to a political problem. Guernica shows the tragedy of war and suffering of the innocent. We can see there,...

Is it possible to live plastic free?

Our society has a serious problem with plastic consumption. We use so much of it that we can't deal without it. The video showed how a man challenged himself to live plastic free for a month. It wasn’t easy because nowadays most of food products are wrapped in plastic. There is also a problem with expenses because usually eco food is more expensive but sometimes it's cheaper e.g. buying coffee in your own reusable cup gives you discount. I think that regardless of the difficulty we should try to use less plastic to protect the environment but probably it's not possible to live completely free of it. words: penalty, incentive, to throw oneself into sth I threw myself into that work and couldn't stop doing it. Some people think death penalty should be legalised Kids sometimes needs an  incentiv e to eat food they don't like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC9TYktAWfM
