A serie I would recommend

Hello Everyone,

I'm very excited about todays topic because watching movies and series it's a thing I really enjoy.

Today I'm going to recommend a serie that I watched last year (and actually this year I watched it again) and that I liked a lot.

Top Boy is a t.v. serie that it's written and created by Ronan Bennett, who created the script after interviewing young people from the London working class quarter of Hackney for a few years.
The serie main characters are Dushane and Sully, who had live all their lifes in Summerhouse (a neighborhood inspireds by Hackney). They are two young men that sell drugs to survive the hard life of the lower class. They start by being small dealers but in the course of the story they gain more power, but at the same time more troubles.
In parallel the life of different characters is shown: the reality of what it is like to grow in the neighborhoods like this, in which opportunities are scarce.

What I like about Top Boy is how it shows life in the neighborhood. And despite talking about the lives of young traffickers, it does not praise them, but rather shows the context, visualizing daily life in the streets, with the harshness that they entail, the consequences and the risks.

changes in my study program

Hello everyone, today I will be talking about the changes that could be made in my study program. I studied at the Art Faculty, the poorest faculty at the University of Chile, which has very few resources and an infraestructure that leaves much to be desired... When I entered the career they had just installed decent toilets that were won after a mobilization (before that there were some containers). In the following years they made a library that was supposed to be very modern and good quality, but with the first rain the ceilling literally fell and they had to close it for a while. I don't really know much to say about the program. In general I liked it, although there were some theoretical classes that in my personal opinion were there to fill the curriculum, and they had nothing to do with the practical work that we did at the workshops. If I could change something, I would make the theoretical classes complementary to the practical work carried out in the workshops. I really e...

Personal Opinions

Hello everyone, today I will say my opinion on the killing of stray dogs to prevent health problems and animal overpopulation.  I do not believe at all that killing animals to prevent overpopulation is a fair measure to carry out. Starting from the fact that it is not the animals' fault, but the one who introduces them on the environment, let them reproduce and then abandon them, not taking care of them. Many dogs are on the streets because of irresponsible humans who didn’t sterilize their pets, and left them lying around or abandoned their dog's puppies in the highway of in some street. Most of the pets that have been generated are the fault of people who introduce animals to habitats that do not correspond to them, causing great damage to the ecosystem, the native animals and plants. And if killing is the necessary measure to end the plagues and overpopulation, they should start by the same human being who is the greatest plague and who sweeps away with the biggest violence ...

Best holidays ever

Imagen
Hello, in today’s blog I will talk about one of my best vacations.  When I left high school I went with my two best friends on vacations. We raised money together working on different things, and we bought bus tickets so we could go to Argentina! Just before traveling I had an accident, which delayed my departure so my friends waited for me in Buenos Aires, and when I arrived they went to pick me up at the terminal. We stayed that night in a hostel and the next day we went to stay at the house of a friend of my aunt. Once we were installed we went to buy spray paint, they were so many cans that the room was full of them, I had never had so much paint together before. We went out to paint every night we were there, to make the most of the time. I had never been on vacation with friends before that and it was one of my best experiences, which I hope to repeat soon.
