My parents

The person that I admire most in my family is my mother because besides that if it weren´t for her I wouldn´t be in this world, she always gives me advices before I make a snap decision. She also helps me in everything she can and she is always when I need her In the best and worst moments. So, the trust is that I can be proud of my mother.

Nevertheless, I bear a striking resemblance to my father because he has bushy eyebrows, fair hair and when he was young he was a lanky like me. Furthermore, we have a very similar personality because both have a good sense of humour, a vivid imagination, we are good at keeping secrets and we are brutally honest.

However, I admire both my parents because they have brought me up and I have grown up in a small village with them. In addition, I have had always a family support, so, we have always been a close knit family and I hope that this will never change.

The purpose of education

According to Noam Chomsky, in the education system you can differentiate two types of them. On the one hand the traditional education and on the other hand, the indocrination. In the video, he also speaks about the importance that today has the technology and that we must always know what we are looking for or doing, wheter it is better to do nothing. Concerning the economic benefits, they are not significant in education. Moreover, we should not give much importance to the exams and the results, so, we must also use the creation and let the students to improve, experiment and develop their imagination The education is not always how we think it should be.

Traditional education is mainly based on learning by ourselves, question and develop our imagination. However, indocrination is based on following and obeying rules. There is a huge difference between both, so, the best education is the traditional, in which students are free to explore and learn things on their own. It is not the same to do a job which the teacher sent us on an issue than do one in which we are interested in and we want to know more information and research.

The technology hasgrown and has made some changes in the culture of society, as these changes are significant. The use of technology, such as the internet, don´t care if you doný know what you are looking for and understand what you are looking; fo instance, it is useless to do a work of democracy if you don´t know the meaning of the world or you dn´t understand. Neither it makes much sense to ask the question, whether education is an investment that it worth it or not, because if what you are looking is a free, creative and independent people , who are able to appreciate the culture and education, we should not matter too much.

Making exams can be of great use to know what you know, what you have got, what you need to improve, what you have to change, etc, but they don´t mean much because you can do a perfect test and understand very little. In addition, you can study hard for a test, but, if the following week you have forgotten what you studied, it is useless. When you make an exam, there are things that you aren´t interested in and you need to learn them and you may have done a great test, but you didn´t understand the subject or you learnt it by heart.

Overall, the teachers have to fulfill their duties and obligations by sending exams to students, but, also, they have to let students develop their imagination, creativity and experience on subjects that they are interested. In addtition, we must be aware that pass an exam is important, but it is not always the best way for learning. The important thing is to discover new things and learn about something but understanding it and no by heart. Moreover, we have to know what we are doing or seeking. Finally, the economic benefit is the last thing we should think, then, we care education on progress, research, development, new knowledge, but not the economic benefit that can be obtained.

The Environment

Nowadays, most of humans pollute the surroundings, for example, by the exhaust fumes from our cars, using everyday products that pollute as deodorants or air fresheners, throwing chemicals waste into the sea like oil and throwing away rubbish into the streets. My family and I tried to protect the environment as much as we can, for instance, recycling waste, pulling each product in the corresponding container such as bottles in the bottle bank or using solar panels instead of a butane heater to save energy and not pollute. From my point of view, we should embrace green politics, do some short- terms measures and take more seriously the issue of the environment, so, it is no nonsense and pollution is one of the major world- wide problems. We should also put every one of us working together and helping to protect the environment, because, that way we don´t harm the environment or our own health. In addition, What work cost us to throw a glass bottle at a container rather than another or throwing a paper into the wastebasket instead of the street? `Nothing´
