Stay Classy.

To whom it may concern,  I´m writing to express my deep disappointment concerning my recent experience with your company, KLM Airlines. I had booked a flight to Sri Lanka via Amsterdam. Nevertheless, when I got to my local airport in Argentina, I found out that the connecting flight had first been delayed and then cancelled. What disappointed me the most was the fact that I received no comments about the flight´s situation. After the plane situation, I immediately contacted one of your Airline Directors, nevertheless they told me the phone-line was collapsed and that there was no responsible employer who could talk to me. They just booked me in another flight leaving at 7 am from the following day. I found the staff´s attitude extremely rude. As you may suppose, I was not able to arrive on time to Amsterdam´s airport, consequently missing my flight. Due to that, not only was I unable to check-in in my hotel, but I also missed the first day of my rented car. Both things were p...

Dear Mary, How´s everything going in New York? I haven´t heard from you in a while and I was wondering how life was treating you. Unlike you, I´m still here, in Mississippi; the place where time and justice seem to be stuck. However, I have dived myself in an amazing personal project. I started investigating the terrible and mistreated life of afro American house helps working at our houses. I´ve been hanging out with them, listening to what they have to tell, and taking detailed notes about everything they said. You may find it hard to believe. But things here don´t work the way they do over there. To start with, they told me about the terrible daily discrimination they suffer. How they run their lives in constant fear of being attacked by surprise by one of those infamous clans that terrorizes them. They send their kids to school scare to death that they may not come back home. Every time they say goodbye to each other, might be the last one. Making a living is another problem. Since...

J’étais en France parce que j’ai gagné un voyage. Mes vacances étaient magnifiques. Il faisait beau tous les jours. J’étais très contente. J’ai visité le Musée du Louvre, Les Champs Élysées  et la Tour Eiffel parmi les monuments nationaux. J’ai ador é les Champs Élysée. J’ai pris de photos et j’ai acheté plusieurs souvenirs. Je me suis amusée. Les Champs Élysée étaient bruyant, cependant elles sont merveilleuses. Aussi, la cuisine locale était délicieuse et les gens étaient très sympas. J’aimerais vivre là.

Media nowadays has a great effect on kids. It influences their way of seeing the world and interacting with it. Many movies, videogames and TV shows have been accused of influencing kids with extremely graphic visuals of violence, therefore suggesting the idea that murder, physical harassment and deadly attacks are an unavoidable issue on our society. However in order to relate them with this claims, there must be some kind of evidence review. In our thinking skills class we analyzed the case of two boys who had killed a fellow partner. Different sources argued about the role of the movie Childs Play 3. After carefully going through corroborative, meaning in favor, and conflicted evidence, meaning against; as well as the weight and quality of each of the two sides, taking into account the credibility of each one of them; we arrived to the following conclusion: Analyzing all evidence, strong and neutral sources have expressed their opinion and conduct research in this topic. We, fin...

In the vocabulary lesson, we have been investigating and studying the specific jargon used in the media world, particularly in advertisement. After that, the teacher assigned us to create our own lipstick advertisement using what we have learned. Are you feeling blue? Well, there’s a solution to that. Today pamper yourself with the best of the best, and turn your life into bright, shimmering red! Be savage, be wild, live in the lap of luxury and take those vibrant lips on a night out. Are you calling for a breathtaking look? Say no more! “Love is On” lipstick has that covered for you, and even more than you could ask for. Take the change to stand out in the crowd! Paint your lips with a smile; paint them with “Love is On” lipstick and watch as a sunlit, silvery future arises!         Group: Valentina Behar, Lucila Vivas, Facundo Di Meglio, Valentín Fabrichini and Sofía García Mansilla 

Vivimos rodeados por ejes. Algunos mas perceptibles y cotidianos y otros que vemos como más alejados o los consideramos ajenos a nuestra realidad. Sin embargo, este contexto en el que desarrollamos nuestras vidas esta influenciado por mil corrientes y planos que se relacionan y entrecruzan unos con otros. Junto con la materia Proyecto de Investigación, nos adentramos en una de estas interrelaciones entre ejes, la de la Ciencia con el Conocimiento personal. Este análisis fue disparado a partir de un video de una charla TED llevada a cabo por Adrián Paenza . En este video Paenza introduce la cuestión de la forma en la que nuestro conocimiento es puesto a prueba en la vida diaria desde edades muy pequeñas, ya sea a partir de la alimentación o la enseñanza de conceptos nuevos, como pasa durante nuestros primeros años de vida. O cuando este eje trascendental es puesto a prueba por los conflictos que se nos presentan. Sin embargo, para Paenza existen varios tipos de ...
