Opinion Personelle sur L'Internet

Écrit par Ignacio Cagide, Azarias Bustos et Matías Viana en classe de français

La liberté d’Internet

L'internet nous donne plusieurs avantages et outils qui peuvent nous aider dans nos vies. Mais le question est, Il peut nous donner plus de liberté ou moins de liberté ? Dans cette essai, nous allons essayer de répondre à cette question.

Pour commencer, d'une part, l'Internet nous donne moins liberté car votre information personnelle est publique et tout le monde peut le voir. Cette information peut être utilisée de manière malveillante, parce que vous vous ne connaissez pas les personnes qui y ont accès. 

D’autre part, l'internet nous fournit également des outils qui permettent et facilitent le travail et les tâches quotidiennes, ce qui autrement, ils seraient beaucoup plus compliqués. Aussi, nous avons accès à de grandes quantités d'informations qui peuvent aider dans nos études et nous informer. Au delà de ça, ça nous permet de communiquer facilement, avec la possibilité d'envoyer des messages ou mails ou encore passer des appels à des gens autour du monde à n'importe quelle heure. 

Pour finir, l'internet a de bons et de mauvais côtés, mais s'il est utilisé correctement lors de la prise de mesures de sécurité, il peut nous donner beaucoup plus de liberté et d'accès à des choses que nous n'aurions pas autrement.

Episode Review, Game of Thrones S6 Ep9

Game of Thrones, by David Benioff and D.B Weiss, is known for being one of, if not, the best tv series to date. Given by its cinematography, script and its overall story. One episode in particular stands out from the rest, that being Season 6´s Episode 9 called “Battle of Bastards”, directed by Miguel Sapochnik, that is considered the best episode of the series and this is why. Beware of spoilers!

To start off, the episode on its own is a cinematic masterpiece. The built in atmosphere generated by the set and the tension of don´t knowing if characters that you grew to love will eventually die at the climactic, and long awaited, Battle of Bastards. Beginning with Daenerys burning  slaver ships with her majestic dragons drew the viewer's attention right from the get go. Then Jon takes the lead of the episode planning his attack against the hated Ramsay Bolton, who took hostage his brother Rickon and took control over Winterfell (The Stark´s Household).

If it weren't for the actors this episode wouldn't have been the same. Kit Harrington's portrayal as Jon and Iwan Rehon’s as Ramsay are remarkable in this episode in particular. With no words they can tell what they are thinking at every moment, as sometimes it is better to show and don't tell. Jon's anger and courage is always present, as is Ramsay’s madness and fear.

Along with great acting there is great cinematography. As we all know it is difficult to show a battle play off and make it feel believable, however, Game of Thrones managed to do so. Following Jon throughout the battle we get to see the brutality that happens within the battlefield, with people getting killed and our characters struggling to fight. All this wouldn't have been accomplished if it wasn't for the director Miguel Sapochnik, who clearly has a lot of talent.

To conclude, I haven't seen a more memorable episode than this one. It became my favorite ever since I first saw it and remains that way for those reasons. If you haven't watched Game of Thrones you are missing out and if you did I would suggest re-watching this episode to see my point.

Uplifting and Depressing Movies (Review)

These two movies are the ones that I think of when talking about both this extremely different themes, an uplifting and a depressing movie. I will talk about "Spirited Away",  by Hayao Miyazaki, as the uplifting movie, and "Your Name", by Makoto Shinkai, as the depressing one.

"Spirited Away" follows Chihiro, a ten-year-old girl that is on a trip with her parents and, unknowingly, enters into a magical world. As they venture into this strange land, she losses her parents. When she finds them she discovers that both of them have turned into pigs. Her journey begins as she tries to find a way to turn them back to normal. What I find uplifting about the film is the charm that all the characters have. It makes you care and sympathy them as they are all shown as meaningful and human-like despite most of them being "monsters". Another reason why I love this film so much is its rich and believable world that we are brought in.

"Your Name" on the other hand, is both joyful and depressing at the same time. It tells the story of Mitsuha, a high school girl living in the suburbs of Japan, which isn't satisfied with her life. She wishes to become a high-school boy in her next life. In a sudden turn of events, her wishes come true when she begins to switch bodies intermittently with Taki, a high school boy from Tokyo. It's a heartwarming which turns into a depressing one in the second act, which I don't want to spoil. The bound that the movie makes the audience share with its charismatic protagonists is unparalleled with nothing I've ever seen. Making the things that happen to them even more heartbreaking.

To conclude, both these movies are hand drawn animated, which tends to throw off some people for their cartoony style, but I would thoroughly suggest giving them a try, as you might end up loving this two films. Since even animated films can have the same impact, or even more, as a common film to make you feel delighted or sorrowful. 

SafeMapp

En la clase de Política Y Ciudadanía comenzamos un proyecto en el que nosotros debíamos aportar ideas sobre una App para celular que nos parezca innovadora. Esta es la idea que se nos ocurrió:

SafeMapp

Dependiendo donde estés te va a marcar una ruta donde evites zonas que son peligrosas o que tienen mala reputación por la cantidad de delitos cometidos en esa zona. El trayecto por el que te envía va a ser el más seguro. La idea es que cada persona califique la zona en la que está, sumándose con la calificación de los demás se le da un puntaje que es marcado por un color. Si la zona es verde, es muy segura, amarilla, segura, naranja, poco segura, y roja, precaución. El mapa Indica comisarías cerca y tiene un botón de emergencia para enviar tu ubicación a la policía o a alguien en particular avisando que estás en peligro. Al igual que va a tener los números de emergencia para médicos, bomberos, etc.

Categoría:

Navegación GPS/Seguridad

Público:

Todas las personas que se muevan solas por la calle, ya sea en auto, transporte público publico o caminando.

Objetivo:

Generar un GPS más seguro y confiable. Que no te mande por lugares por los que uno no estaría seguro solo para llegar más rápido al destino

Diseño:

En la parte de arriba de la app hay un buscador donde pones el destino al que queres llegar. En la parte de abajo se encuentran tres botones, El de la izquierda es el botón de Emergencias, que llama a la policía o manda un sms a alguien en particular (elegido por el Usuario) para alertar que tienes una emergencia. El botón del medio funciona para activar o desactivar la opción de ZONA (Marcador de zonas por color). El botón a la derecha es para calificar la zona en la que te encuentras.      

Posible impacto si fuese desarrollada:

Brindaría más seguridad al salir a la calle, y tranquilidad al saber que estás más seguro.

Apps de Las que Tomamos ideas:

Usamos como referencia Google Maps, Waze y Alerta Motorola, que hoy en día son las dos apps de navegación por GPS más usadas y de emergencia. El problema que vimos en estas apps es que priorizan la rapidez del viaje por sobre la seguridad del pasajero, por lo que siempre eligen ruta más rápida no por la más segura.

How Young People See Aging

Introduction

This report will show what young people think about growing old and their plans for the future. The aim will be to aid them in such subject and analyze the way they look at older people.

Current Situation

I went to a school nearby and asked some questions to senior students that are about to graduate in regards to this topic. The questions were mostly directed to their way of seeing older people and what they want to do after they graduate.

Results

Most of them didn’t know what they are going to do, they were concerned about it. Others however had everything planned and already knew what their aim was. Nevertheless, they all showed fear at the idea of growing old and becoming adults. In regards to the way they see older people, they see them as people to look up to and as people that are always working to succeed or to reach their goal.

Recommendations

 I would like to give some recommendations that would help students on their fear of growing up.

• ·         They should have a talk with a professional about what they want to do when they grow up, as there are those that can help young people to choose the career that they could follow.
• ·         They should write about the person they look up to and analyze their biography.
• ·         The students should investigate the career they want to follow and see if it really fits their liking

With these tips they might find a way to no longer be afraid of becoming adults.
