Are celebrities bad for our children?

Since the beginning of society, role models have been existing and from our childhood, we tend to idolize our parents and by the time we have grown up, we tend to admire other people, like celebrities for example, but what happens when these modern celebrities are not precisely role models.

 

On one hand, not all modern celebrities are poor role models, like Malala Yousafzai has faced several problems in her young lifetime, fought even death caused by a murder attempt in her own bus school. We also need to take Emma Watson into consideration because she may be recognized by her role of Hermione Granger in the saga of Harry Potter but beyond being the pretty girl on the screen, she also is a Goodwill Ambassador for U.N. Women who made a strong speech and said it to make conscience for all the people who do not see the problem of feminism which as a word has been used badly, to describe and patronize women.

 

While there are good types of role models it is also true to say that bad role models predominate the world. On the other hand, we can find through all internet people who make their life as they want but in progress, their appearance or look gives society a bad impression. People now idolize mediocrity. Let’s take for example the girls who make videos playing games, which they are called streaming clothless almost scratching to porn. There are already consequences in our children caused by the recent artist that sings purely trash pretending to be cool. Unfortunately, kids seem to like these good role models and tend to imitate them making tok-toks acting like dumbs just to get the approval of their friends. The worst thing is that most of the young people nowadays are doing this worthless lifestyle and the most annoying is that they get paid a big amount of money and people who studied college, master’s degree or even a doctorate can´t find a job with a good salary.

 

So modern celebrities are a curse or a blessing? Well, in my opinion, I´d say that likes to destroy genders. The way you find your own role model relies on you and as parents, you should be aware of what kind of people your children follow.

HEALTH VS FAST FOOD

We are living difficult times in terms of health, yes, we are living a pandemic which is caused by a deadly virus which has not only caused damage to our health but has also affected other important aspects of our life such as the economy, our daily activities, mental health, and many others. Having said that, I would like to take up the subject of food, you may wonder, what does food have to do with this? Well, certainly a lot, a good diet is vital to develop a resistant immune system which will be able to fight this virus with better weapons and resist so as not to die. From my point of view, fast food and junk food have made our diet garbage and that causes us to have fatal health and leaves us exposed and vulnerable to a very powerful virus.

Thinking about the negative things that could arise if fast food were prohibited, it is clear that the main affected are those who produce this type of food and workers in these industries who would be unemployed. As for consumers, we would be affected by the fact that we are already very used to eating this type of food and it would take a change and adapt to the flavors.

On the other hand, let´s try to think about what was the objective of implementing fast food, I think it is clear that this was due to the public demand to obtain a meal that would save time and could continue with their activities, over time it was adapted so that people began to enjoy this type of food and had a resounding success, even replacing traditional foods.

We also need to take the terrible consequences of consuming fast and junk food into consideration and knowing this, the questions would be, how can we fight against the negative side of fast food? Is the solution to ban it? Why do people continue consuming it knowing how harmful it is?

Personally, I believe that we must have nutritional education in which we can understand the effects that we suffer from consuming fast food every day won’t be immediately, these effects will be long-term but very difficult to fight and control it. It is important to be aware of what we feed our body and understand that it is the only one we have our whole life.

Should university education be free for everyone?

 

I vividly remember those days when public universities were free for anyone. If I close my eyes, the flooding memories come back. I was always going to study hard before a test; as sooner as I got a high grade, then smoothly I could let my hair down until the following test arrives. The testing week was a nightmare, but it just lasted one short, yet intense, period each semester. It appeared at that time to be hard, the boring all-day-long school with narrow-minded teachers now seems a piece of cake to me after having to work in an office with the pressure to make a name by myself. Had I known how everything would have changed for the worse, I would certainly have taken more courses at school to climb the social ladder more easily, instead of going straight to a job as soon as I got my certificate. Many things are undoubtedly getting unbearable when I set back the drawbacks, having to pay to get well education is one of those.

Those who are in favor of fees in public universities argue they help to increase the quality of Education. Moreover, from what people can gather, is evidently how expensive gets the annual budget in this field. Difficult though it may be, the following generations will be facing the fact to afford the scholarship with their resources. The more one person knows, the more he might need during the process; those expenses cannot be taken from taxes, it is important to consider that. One advantage of this perspective is that it would bring a whole different kind of students and future professionals, while they are learning the ropes, they will get their overlook. Thus, they would not be tempted to follow their gut feeling, instead, they would feel obliged to acknowledge immediately if they are in the proper career or if they wish to do anything else. As far as we all are concerned, people should never have to pay for others’ mistakes. The benefit of this new policy is that people would never be anywhere near to keep asking us for paying their impossible dreams.

Nevertheless, the danger of allowing students to achieve degrees on behalf of the citizen’s taxes is a commonly held perception. Those who react to how the budget is maladministered by white-collar functionaries usually neglect the common field of the areas where they are not pundits. Some journalists have an axe to grind whilst they are pursuing to sell newspapers, though they seemed to forget, as it has happened in the mists of time, how was the family net only two generations before. All the new policies on Education over Y Generation, which has been best-known with a good deal offensive language, such as lazy people; reject to accept some hard facts. Never before one income at home has meant nothing to provide for a family. The previous educational system was a bunch of couch-potatoes well-paid by the State who presumably were teachers; these youngsters are asked to do more than they actually can. Surrounded by the finest technology available through the internet and mobile phones, this entire generation is being pushed to give the extra mile to accomplish the greedy dreams of the X Generation.

In conclusion, should we pay the university to these youngsters? Yes and no. Seeming easy to give permits to everybody, to have a big enrollment is a different animal. While being humanitarian is acceptable, is also true to be realistic. Education nowadays needs a significant amount of funds, giving all the responsibility to the State would degenerate on social problems because of the many other fields where it invests. Furthermore, young students need to learn how to make strong commitments with those who afford their Education. One way to solve this trouble is by making them pay a small fee for every partial test, as the old saying says: beggars can’t be choosers! By having 90% of scholarships for free, the rest should not be a worry. In a hypothetical scenery where they are not qualified enough to keep studying, or, if by chance, they had personal issues to solve immediately, at least they would know that schools remain where they could return whenever they choose; youth-only happens once and is when we are pushed for time trying to enjoy life. All in all, we do not need many professionals, just the finest. If I may add a personal thought, to my knowledge, quality never comes in quantity.
