Malta!!!

Malta is similar to Italy in the same dress, the same food, the same tv - programme, the same money and the same sea(Mediterranean Sea).
The different things of Malta are the school (they finish every day at 15 o'clock and they haven't lessons on Saturday), the buses and the nightlife.The weather has surprised us because it was wet and miserable with lots of wind. We believed in a sunny and hot week! It wasn't!

Another strange things were the housing: poors, yellow and shabby.
We have enjoyed so far the discos in Paceville because they were amazing and with free entry.
It's an instructive trip, but we recommend to the teachers to make it in April, where the weather is hotter.
We think trips like ours in Malta help us and other people to speak better English as you need to talk every day only in English.
Sure we learned more in class in Malta because we spoke and interacted only in English.
The best trip that we recommend to next year's 3lss students for them to improve their English is to England which everything is pure English!
That's all, bye.

Vero and Pete.... :D

the images are ours: we made them during the trip

My Survey

Bad Drugs

http://ulsu.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/war-on-drugs22.jpg
Since ancient times man has taken drugs with the aim of pleasing sensations, remove the worries, relieve anxiety, improve mood, eliminate the fatigue.
In recent decades the use and abuse of these substances have been widespread among the population, creating social and medical problems not easily resolved.
The factors that lead to consumption are the misery, despair or even physical pain. Psychological disorders and traumas are the most common.
I've choosen to do this topic because more and more young people use drugs(LSD, Cannabis,Tobacco,Cocaine,Heroine,Marijuana..), not just occasionally, and they need love and understanding. We can help!

Psychology: personal uneasiness

Existencial crisis: a fundamental passage which is very important and prolific of possible and positive consequences.

I've choosen to study Social Sciences because as subject has very interessant ideas and mechanisms, and I feel it with much sentiment inside me, since I've passed a long, dark and terrible period of depressions, craziness and problems of all sorts, which enter exactly in the spheres of Social Sciences.
With this picture above I've taken as example the Psychology: a science dedicated to describe phenomenous of the affective and mental life (istinctes, emotions, sentiments, perceptions, memory, volition, intelligence) and to determinate the conditions for a balanced social and individual life.
Besides to present oneself some normal formality of world adaptation, I think the most important thing is to enrich oneself with creativity and personality in continuous growth, which makes uniques.
It's necessary to accept the own inquietudes and agonizing issues, as integral part of our existence and to build tho own freedom(protagonist of the life and personal choices).
All that involve courage and volition to take the risk(get in the game) with the people: to not give up at the first obstacles.
In conclusion, like other things in life, problems are possibilities to cultivate. For not falling in desolation with the spirit, we need to pull the cords of the soul and carry on.

Evaluations to me and to my classmates

I think my blog it's quite good, like I want and I suppose that during the school year I will get better. I put some images, I tried to give a good structure and flowing of the argument, comments and relation.
I didn't use links because in some posts I think they are irrelevant. In the future I could use them and to do some interpretations and more creative works. Mark:8
I looked some blogs of my classmates and now I write the marks.
About Annat's blog I think it's an excellent work, well done! She put images, lots of links,comments and good summary. All added the blog engage the author. I give her 9.
Then I visited Monica's blog and I give her 8: she used good expressions,images and links.
Her posts are well structured, flow and nice.
Finally I give 6 to Margherita's blog because her posts are shorts, not well structured and poor appropiate style. It doesn't engage the author.
We all need creativity and good elaboration, for now it's just the beginning.
Have fun! =) Bye

The trip to Blogfest

On Saturday 3 October we went to Blogfest in Riva del Garda: an initiative very sponsored but with few participans.
The day began with a presentation of Workshop Futur3 and Project Luna(Large Unwired Network Applications) which nowadays are very useful and important in the Technology's world, because allow to have a net Wi-fi in a specific area.
The people who were at that meeting work always with their pc and social network, therefore they were very interested at that project.
Then in Galleria San giuseppe we saw how photos can be modified in a Photocamp. The funnier part was to interview(in couple) some persons and to hear their opinions.
I think that we, as students of a highschool, aren't very fanatical or needy of technology of this kind because we prefer to do or use something else, not always the computer. Anyway this experience could be useful for the mechanicistic future, where the power of technology will be very bulky and popular.
In my opinion all that it's enough positive because is really very practical and swift, and it exploits the globalization and the way to work and live.
But it's also negative because it losts always more a minimum of personal privacy and the reality of interpersonal comunications changes. The relationships are reduced to practical controls fast us and (virtual) for which in real time it is known already all on a person and what that do.
The technology it works well but it create a "mechanicistic" sense, it's a dependence(even though it is overestimated it) and it's diffucult to detach itself from this. The problem is:until to that point the Man will arrive? I believe it's a whole fact of aesthetics(photoshop,power point,video),less boredom,special effects, practicality and less work. Everyone then makes what it wants, it is relative the daily use,or less, of the technology.

" The man overhangs all with the technique and develops a continuous progress( like the practicy of the technology) but it's necessary also to keep the sense,of what he does, which is exclusively natural (not artificial)."

My blog: ideas to free-wheel

Hi people!!
This is a new way of communication, a continuous circle of topics to confront ourself, basically: to develop activities( discussions, curiosities, researches..) leaving space to the creativity, to a good structure of an argument and to new learning's forms.
I hope we'll enjoy doing this blog, creating a good group's relation and ideas with serenity and enthusiasm.
Let's risk us! Let's make flowing our thoughts!
xxx,
Veronica.
