Slumdog millionaire

Slumdog Millionaire 
the film reflects the social problems that we live in
world as prostitution, theft, mafias, conflicts for religion problems which the world becomes deaf and blind, without realizing that with these actions causes problems to continue to rise, it is reflected that the best education does not gives the best university that gives you life, you form through experiences that is what the protagonist lived, we can also realize that the traumas of childhood impact on your personality that this stage is where the
person is more vulnerable, the love of the family is also reflected in spite of all the conflicts, the stereotypes on the part of the

society are obvious because, because they are poor and without studies, nobody believes that they could have won a knowledge contest
Knowledge or Experience, which one is better?

In some cases, one of the common conflicts that people who are the owner of a factory or a own business don’t know if it is more important knowledge or experience, in my opinion, the director of the movie Slumdog millionaire present us this situation in a magnificent way, Jamal is a young guy who has learned a lot of things due to the different experiences that he has lived throughout his life, unfortunately, we live in a society in which stereotypes control our behaviour that´s way the police and also the director of the program who wants to be a millionaire don´t trust in Jamal, but at the end, we can see how in some cases experiences can help people to acquire more knowledge that the one that you are able to learn in any institution.

What I mean with this is such we need to start to focus un the development of people and forget bout a title or a degree, that things can help you to get a reference, but at the end every single person demonstrates if he or she is worthy or not in this society.

Friendship against situations.

People sometimes say that friends are like treasures really difficult to find, but Mr Doyle demonstrate us in his movie that is not too difficult, wat you need to do is to search that person who is going to be your confident, that´s why Jamal  and Latika became, through the movie we can see how they continue being friends no matter the huge problems that they faced every single day of their lives, at the end, friendship and happiness is the gift that life gives you as a remuneration for all the problems that you have passed, apart from this, in our opinion we think that Jamal and Latika will be grateful of the sacrifice of Salim due to his death, they now are able to live together and feel something that people some times don´t find.

Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump is a film that gives us a great teaching of how a young man despite his low IQ could get ahead through his skills in sports, you can also see the fantastic story as he is immersed in the movie, too I could reflect on family problems in the case of Jenny who had a somber childhood that reverberated in the future causing him to depend on drugs, Forrest did not see the evil in the world, his mother always took him on the path of good what caused that it is a great person that always fulfilled its word and in spite of all the money the other thing that is not makes happy a person, the true happiness is a family. People do not manage to realize that material things go away with the time that words can hurt much more than hitting people, and this happened in the movie and it was what each character transmitted, Lieutenant Dan shows us that with great friendships such as Forrest one can overcome to get ahead and fight for his life, without having to blame anyone, but rather seek to solve the problem.

A leaf, symbol of Liberty.

The director of the film Forrest Gump, in our personal opinion is really smart specifically in the way in which he enhances wishes and perspectives with actions or things that we can see every single day of our lives, this aspect is presented in the movie at the moment in which Jenny is a young girl, due to her father abuse, she wishes to be a bird so she will be able to fly away from her problems, but then we see throughout Jenny that in the life sometimes things take a different path, that´s why at the end, Jenny´s destiny is thirsty and Forrest is the one who receives the consequences of her death and why not, his son also. 

At the end of the movie, we see how a leaf starts to fly with the wind, this is the best representation of how our wishes can become true in a near future, now Jenny is taking care of Forrest and their son from the sky, they will never be alone.

The meaning of Friendship.

For people like Forrest Gump, have good friends, the ones who helps you at any moment and trust in you no matter what happened is a little bit difficult, at the beginning we might think that this idea can be mentioned as impossible, even though, Forrest show us that anything is impossible in the life, because he has got a good friend, Bubba.

He met him during their service in the army, since then they had become best friends and during Vietnam war, they show each other, unfortunately Bubba died and Forrest wasn´t able to spend more good times with him, nonetheless, he shows us how true friends can become their wishes true, that´s why Forrest buys a shrimp boat and they star to make money not for him, his priority is Bubba´s family, this is also another example of the magnificence of the value of friendship between people.

The pianist

Ghettos, an oppression symbol.

During second world war, one of the most common characteristics that people who now learn about this belic action is the way in which Natzis soldiers slave Jewish people in different parts of Europe.

Having no access to food or water and the impossibility of getting a good job had repercussions in the life style of Jewish who throw out any type of possibility of being free, in that way all the society saw how a community destroy the wishes of people who were suffering that due to religion or a different way of behaving or think.

This type of facts helps us to understand and realize how ghettos became an oppression symbol, we need to change the way in which we behave with others and be open mind to understand different opinions, is the only way in which we will stablish peace in the world.

 How Second World War change the world.

Anger and greed are examples of feelings who provoques wars, according to our history, the desire of power and land are the reasons why specific countries started wars and at the end, the result is just death and desperation. Second World War is the most catastrophic fact that human being had experimented during the last century, Natzis killed Jewish and attack different places in Europe, in that way, Hitler`s desire of power and “revolution” was spread all over Germany.

In 1945, this war ended, but until now we can see how the politic relationship between some countries in Europe and places such like United States hasn´t agreed and the consequences are evident not only with las and some specific regulations to different situations like migration, moreover, the economic situation of these countries is also involved in this fight that started since 1939 during one of the worst episodes of our history.

Wladek Spilzman: A survivor.

Apart form the situations and the real facts that are presented in the film “The Pianist”, we need to realize how this character is a real survivor of the Second World War. 

Every single day, Jewish’s situation was worst, there was no food, no job, and Natzis soldiers were killing people at any time. However, his faith and the way in which destiny helped him were the reasons why he could survive to this war and continue doing what makes him and others happy, play the piano with melodies that impact the feelings of the individuals who hear these songs.

Perfect couple

What means to meet a Perfect Couple?

The idea of finding “The perfect couple” at the beginning seems to be just a kid´s dream, but believe it or not, what we need to realize is that finding that person is no more a dream. 

All around the world, people say that they have already found their perfect couple, when you ask them what make them believe such that person is their perfect couple, they start to describe that person and at the end, you will understand that even though these people have defects, they have learned to understand each other, they have formed a family and in that way, they have felt happiness. 

Whether you think you need to search an specific person without defects, you are in a mistake, search for a woman or a man who can understand you and support you at an time.    

We need to start to focus our attention  on what really means a “perfect couple”, in that way, we will feel happiness until or last days.

The Characteristics of a “Perfect Couple”  

Most of the time, people think that when they  start to search about who can be their perfect couple, they establish as a first condition that what they need is a handsome man or a beautiful woman, also the body shape is another important aspect that we often take into consideration, but according the culture in which we start to analyse this fact, this aspect can change in a significant way.

A generous person, someone who talks with you about everything, that  person who knows you and your feelings, the ne who supports you when you have a bad day or when you feel thirsty about something, in my opinion, that person deserves to be called a “perfect couple”, is not important if that person is beautiful, what we really need at the end is someone who is able to understand what we are feeling, whether if we continue thinking about handsome or beautiful, we will just get a person who with the past of the time, our “ideal beauty” will be erased as the footprints in the snow.

Let´s put our attention on the characteristics that really are important.

Teenagers and the idea of finding a Perfect couple.

Nowadays, teenagers are the ones who start thinking about finding the “perfect couple” and unfortunately, they seek for characteristics that are totally wrong, this is due to their immaturity.

They need to realize such finding a perfect couple is not so easy, we need to take into consideration characteristics that in the future will be important, teenagers don´t comprehend the importance of this and that`s why they commit a lot of mistakes.

If we star to teach them that to start this search at  their age is not useful, they will focus their attention on what really is important, get a degree or graduate from the university, at that time, they will know that they are enough prepare to search for a perfect couple, and why not, maybe they have already met that person at that time, but let´s be patient, the perfect couple will find you, be sure about it.

Frist world problems

First world and Third world countries.
Nowadays, people all around the world are analysing how can they solve problems as poverty, homelessness and how they can create better job opportunities for the ones who doesn´t have a place in which they can work.
When we start to think about this, we focus our attention in first world countries and in third world countries. Nevertheless, people have created some stereotypes about these classification, but what we need to realize is that the only difference between these two countries are just the percentages of poverty, and why not, we can also think about the unemployed people in each country.


Third World Problems.
When we start to analyse which one are the worst problems that are affecting to complete communities in third world countries, we will find unemployed people, poverty, but sometimes we realize the principal reasons that justify this problem, and one of them is the ignorance that unfortunately people who lived in these countries have.
Because of this, we can see how in other countries are organizations who help people in those countries in which education is not enough, by doing this, in a near future we will see how the percentage of poverty and other problems are going to be reduced by this type of actions.
That´s why I invite you all to help others to finish these kind of problems, we are the ones who can create a better society.


Fist World Problems.
All around the world, we can find countries in which their economy system is better that others, communities in which people can find lots of job opportunities, but what happen when in this country experiment a decrease in their system, in that moment government starts to think about how they can stop their “problem”.
Even though, people who live in these first world countries need to realize the real situation that other communities are living in this moment, one example of this fact is the situation that Nigeria, Ethiopia and other countries in Africa are living in which people don´t have a job, they live in places worse than shelters.
Is because of this that I invite the ones who lived in these “First World countries” to start helping to the ones who don´t live in the same conditions, in that way we will improve not only the situation in the first world countries, also in others countries in which people don’t live, they try to survive.

TRUANCY

How can we solve Truancy?

Nowadays, one of the problems that the society is facing is truancy. In different parts of the world,  children and teenagers  don´t go to their high school because they invert their time in different type of activities, in some cases parents don´t know that their kids are truant, and in  other type of situations they don´t care about this.

Even though, in some countries, government is taking into consideration truancy as a problem that they need to solve in order to can create a better environment, that´s why according to (Cole & Reid, 2009) in their article they said that what people need to do is to establish a link between the importance of an education and the future of kids, and when they refer to this link, the responsible of this action are parents.

We need to realize that if parents don´t talk about how important is to go to school, or how children and teenagers are going to get benefits if they study during their lives, what we are doing is increasing truancy in the world, we need to start doing something and the change needs to begin in the homes.

If we start to do this, we will see professionals instead of seeing how teenagers become drug addicts or thieves, let´s change our society by solving truancy.

The more you teach your children, the best professionals they become!

WHAT IS TRUANCY?

Truancy is an unexcused absence from school, that it means when a student didn’t attend classes and they didn’t have a real justification to be absence.

In some countries the truants are punished, for example if a student missed more than 10 days of school they are required to repeat the entire school year.

Some other examples of punishments are according to Theoharis, M (2014) are:

·         A juvenile court may impose several penalties against the parent or guardian of a truant teen. Common penalties include fines, attending parenting education courses, or attending family counseling.

·         A court may also order a teen into psychological testing and counseling. The teen may have to attend individual counseling, group counseling, or attend family counseling with parents or guardians.

·         A juvenile court can order a truant student to attend after-school, weekend, or summer sessions to make up for the school the child missed. The court may also order the student to enroll in an alternate education course, a skill center or trade school, public education courses, dropout prevention courses, or other related programs.

How is truancy affecting our society?

One of the problems that our society is facing now is Truancy, every day, the number of teenagers that are absent in schools without justifications is increasing al around the world, in some cases parents take into consideration this, but sometimes they don´t care if this is happening.

Besides, when we see young people who are in jail because they killed someone or robbers who are less than eighteen years old, is in that moment when we see the results of “doing nothing to stop truancy in our society”

In some countries, governments don´t consider truancy as an important problem, they justify this argument by saying that they have another type of troubles that are more important that asking teenagers what they are not going to school, nevertheless, if we start to analyze, if we want to build a better world, what we need are professionals that will be able to build that world, that´s why we need to give importance to solve truancy in our society.

There are some scientific studies that show us how delinquency increase every year and I f we compare this data with the number of truants that exist in a city, we will see how is linked this information with truancy.

We need to solve this problem instead of closing our eyes and do nothing.

The runaway become in a homeless who haven’t a good place when they can sleep or have a positive support in their live, some institutions try to help that kind of people but never something is perfect always exits bad and good people in the world, people affect the image of those institution with some bad behavior with the homeless. They just have a street as home, the different between runaways and homeless is little, exits a short line between the two wordsUIKeyInputDownArrow.

A big percentage of runaways came back to their home with their family in a time of one day or less because the majority of runaways are children or teen and they can’t survive the hard live in the street, but the other percentage don’t return to home they are the boys or girls that have serious problems in their house with parents, physical abuse, emotional problems or suffer abuse and by those reasons teen live in the street and it present some vicious like drugs, alcohol, sex and bad people that just hurt you  in a way that the runaways start asking if they made the best decision or they made a mistake.

The Society nowadays it still having a closed mind about the LGBT people, and this is a big problem for the childrens in their families, because when they decide to speak with their parents about what they really feel and they notice that their parents didn’t give them the support that they need so as a result of that they decide to leave home or sometimes they are kicked out, and they ends on streets according to Clak,R (2017) “LGBTQ youth experience homelessness at rates that are disproportionate to their heterosexual and cisgender peers. They make up an estimated 20% of the homeless youth population  while they at most constitute 10% the larger population of youth”

Homeless and Houseless

The society create some stereotypes about homeless, they think that homeless are drug addicts, thief and a bad people but this is not true, the true is totally different, homeless just want one opportunity to improve their life, get a job and have an comfortable life, some people grab videos doing social experiments and people have a bad behavior with homeless, if we don’t help them, who will do? , if the society change the perspective about homeless and decide to collaborate with any organization or foundation of that kind of problem, people do a good action without give money maybe you fell insecurity when you give money to homeless because you think that they will go to buy drugs but they just want food and a home or a shelter.

Homelessness, Is there a Solution?
When we try to find the solution for homelessness maybe the firs idea that we have is to give them money, in that way these people are gping to solve their problems,besides what we don´t consider is that actually, we have stereotypes that influence our perspective about homelessness, we think that all of them are drug addict and that´s why giving money is not the solution.
Maybe now we are considering to offer homelessness buildings or shelters, in that way, they will sleep in better conditions than in the streets, but that´s not the whole solution for homelessness.
We need to create new job opportunities, most of the time, people who live on the street are there because they don´t have a job, but we cannot forget the best option that we have to give a solution to homelessness and that solution is to establish more connections between our relatives, if we start to improve the relationship in our families, we will create a society in which homelessness is not going to be a problem anymore, we cannot waste our time, let´s start doing this now, they need them.

For homeless people there are different ways of surviving in the streets where their live. The help that these people have are shelter to bed only for one day, organizations that offer social services to help these people or support groups that also help in some way to this type of people who are in this situation. Thanks to the help of this type of organizations, people who live on the streets have been decreasing. An example of these organizations: Shelter Listening.com (2017) "The organization is dedicated to serving the homeless and low-income. Our shelter list consists of over 4,000 listings and includes emergency shelters, homeless shelters, day shelters, transitional housing, residential drug / alcohol rehabilitation programs and permanent affordable housing". They offer within the organization different types of help for the homeless.
