My opinion about "Blade Runner"

It is a future film (I think the year was 2019), where there were replicants. Deckard was a policeman that is going to kill all the replicants, but they have hidden. A replicant want to live more time, but it didn't get it. Deckard have to kill him. They fight and finally Deckar win.

I didn't understand this film so much, but it shows us the futur problems of our consumerism and the pollution. People have mutation too. The attempt of be gods, made that the replicants born. We must recognize our limitations, we can't create live.

Video: "Our home"

This video shows us the actual and futur problems of our planet, most induced by the human activity. I think that we must stop to produce CO2 and throw it into the atmosphere. We must stop to contaminate our rivers, seas and lakes and to kill animals because of the pollution of their habitats. We must stop to cut the forest that provide us the necessary air for live. But we really must respect our planet and all living being.

21 days in the mine

It is a true story of a Spanish woman that started to work on a mine in South America for 21 days. She worked during all the day (12 hours) with a woman miner who works for feed her children (she receive little money). The first day, both women worked all day on a mine. The Spanish one stoped to work in the mine because she didn't endure do this work, instead she helped other women to find the mineral on the remains of the mine. Every day she worked except when they visited a "town" where they spent a lot of money and they buy necesary things like books or shoes. It is a sad story that makes you thing about the luck of live in a developed society. Their living conditions are poor and they have just to survive, but they love themselves, this is all that they need.

My opinion about the orphanages of China

In China, because of the new law of one child, Chinese people started to abandon their babies in orphanages. Most of the babies are girls because their parents thought that is better have a boy than a girl. The orphanages are dirty and without the necesary things for care children. There are places were babies are not cared and they die, this places are called dying rooms. There are no enough personal who attend the children, so most die. This is a true story, that occur nowadays. I think that is a wrong idea have a law of one child because there are other ways for reduce the natality and the population growth. It is a terrible form to reduce the population. It is better raise awareness all people to start to have few child. The orphanages are abandoned, the goverment should help they with more money and people who work on it. If this measures will be enforced, orphans will have a better live in this country.

Developed Nations versus Underdeveloped Nations

Countries are divided into developed or developing according to their Gross National Income (GNI) per capita per year:

Developed countries

A developed country is a sovereign state that has a highly developed economy and advanced technological infrastructure relative to other less developed nations. Most commonly the criteria for evaluating the degree of economic development are gross domestic product (GDP), the per capita income, level of industrialization, amount of widespread infrastructure and general standard of living. Which criteria are to be used and which countries can be classified as being developed are subjects of debate.

Underdeveloped countries

Underdevelopment is when resources are not used to their full socio-economic potential, with the result that local or regional development is slower in most cases than it should be. Furthermore, it results from the complex interplay of internal and external factors that allow less developed countries only a lop-sided development progression. Underdeveloped nations are characterized by a wide disparity between their rich and poor populations, and an unhealthy balance of trade. Symptoms of underdevelopment include lack of access to job opportunities, health care, drinkable water, food, education and housing.
