The world trade center attack's conspiracy

In this opportunity I will talk about something that really caught my attention and not only for the catastrophe that EE.UU suffered also all the mistery that exists about the world trade center attack, this was a terrorist attack or only a cruel farce done intentionally?


September 11, 2001 EE.UU suffered one of the worst disasters in all his(ITS) history , I´m talking about the world trade center attack (WTC) in New York. The group yihadista Al Qaeda kidnapped an airplane that later was used subsequently to impact the world trade center and also the Pentagon.

But according to an investigation made by the scientist Steven E. Jones, professor of the University Brigham Young , said that the official explanation given by the mass media, respect to the attack of the towers, is illogical according to the laws of physics, beacuse never in history has collapsed a building of steel and concrete due to a fire and there isnt a register historical of a symmetrical collapse and free fall speed except in controlled demolitions. A clear example of this can be seen in the Windsor tower of Madrid, this burned during 24 hours and never collapse thanks to concrete. Hundreds of firefighters and search and rescue personnel say have heard a lot of detonations in the basement and lower floors.

A curious fact that I can tell you about that day is that none of the prestigious bankers and financiers who normally work in the towers went to work. Also the WTC7 building of 47 floors
 ( that was not impact for any airplane) imploded at 5:20 p.m like a controlled demolition. The most amazing thing about this was that BBC and CNN reported live the colapsed 20 minutes before it happened. Only Mohamed Atta passport saved , the rest of the things like document, money, even the black boxes of the airplanes were lost.
First thought , when I talk about this topic is not to transgress  the memory of all people that died in this event , however this fact gmakes you take your own conclusions.
 I hope you like my theme, any question or opinion about this let me know in the comments. 
If you want to see more here is a documentary that speaks more specifically about the attack.

Different country, diverse people and diversify custom.



We live in a world full of attractions, new things to see and to learn. Most of the time we don't see them because we are too busy working, studying or doing house work, so we have no time to even think if we want to travel or not.
In the maps presentation, I was able to learn lots of things from other countries that i didn't knew, and that experience gave me eager to travel, to see different places, to live with people and learn from them; the way they see life, the way for them to think and solve problems, to see people laugh and laugh with them and remind us that no matter where in the world we are, we will always be able to see people smile and yet, we will always be able to smile. I realized that we all feel, laugh and cry, also that prejudice it’s no good and we all should give the time to know people around us because in each one of them are endless things you can learn and teach at the same time.

Today we live in a world in which we tend to generalize  people a lot, but we forget that we are individuals that perceives things differently and therefore cannot all be treated equally. Just like what we had read in the guide of culture as an iceberg, where it is written textually: "Only the tip of the iceberg is visible - in this case, expressions of culture like language, food, clothing, literature, films, etc. Below the water are the underlying attitudes, beliefs, values and meanings - much more difficult to perceive, detect and define". So let’s start knowing the person beside us, let's give us the time to learn and appreciate the ones around us. 


Elizabeth period

Elizabethan Period
Acording to what I have read in web sites or acording that I can learned in classes The Elizabethan Era it was a very importante period of English History. It is called " The Golden Age". 
The Queen Elizabeth I  was a woman very inteligent like queen and she was "funny" because she really likes Dances,writes and arts in general. In the theater William Shakespaire was very importan because he promove his plays and broke the past style of theater. In the theater just can participate men and  just a couple of years later women can participate in this.
In This Era the clothes that they wearing represent how many money they have , or they economic position.
Elizabeth queen was protestant, so in her politic period  Elizabeth reintated the protestant bible and English Mass. 
She really change England  and their costumes, but in general it was a very good England period.



          



I will Include that this Queen was daugther of Henry VIII but she wasn't the first daugther because Henry had a lot of marriages. she was daugther of Anne Boleyn, a really strong and inteligent women like Elizabeth.
In this movie you can see  the history about Elizabeth' s mother : Anne Boleyn.
I think that this movie can show ua that the politic and religions thing are very important in this Age, An d of course we can see the changes in the law and how England past to be a Catholic belief to form their own Anglican Church. in this movie we can see the king like the highest autorithy.

Look beyond what they show

During the last few weeks I have learnt more about Geography than ever in my whole life. The map´s presentations turned out being a fantastic activity for me, specially because I was not only listening to the pieces of information my classmates were giving to us, but also because there was a lot of interesting information in their maps. I thought it was a very original and entertaining way of learning.
One of the things that caught my attention was the language each of them (us) had to use to avoid stereotypes when talking about countries like the US ( whose culture we think we know only for what we see on television or movies) and New Zealand, a country whose culture, until that moment, was practically unknown to me. 
There were some things during the Geography's Unit that specially liked me and so I searched for information about them. 
One of them was the Commonwealth of Nations. My classmate talked about many positive things about it, like cooperation, integrity between countries, etc. But I guessed that not everything is as pretty as they showed. So basically I discovered that the Commonwealth is also a way to keep the countries under the control of the United Kingdom. Money and power, that is what they want.
Another interesting thing was that in Canada people speak two languages, French and English, but people from french-speaking locations don't feel very comfortable with being called bilingual, they feel their cultures is being attacked by the english-speaking culture.

What is your opinion about this?
Do you consider important these topics?
What would you feel if you knew your culture is being constantly attacked or controlled?







Open your mind traveling !!

                                                                             Hello !

When someone tells you to travel, what do you think? Probably on visiting turistic places, having some exotic food, or buying different things and souvenirs. Well, what if I tell you that these are not the only things that you can do while you are traveling?


                                                                    Playa de Cádiz
When you travel, you can see the different realities about your country or another! Through these trips, you can open your mind and reduce your conception of stereotypes.
I have had the chance to travel to different places, and thanks to this impressions. I tend not to judge people by first impressions
I hope that you have the same chance that I had and be able to travel anywhere you like.
                                   
                                      Thanks for reading and we will see on another entry :)                   

"MY JUST DESIRE: The life of Bess Raleigh, wife to sir Walter" by Anna Beer.


Anna Beer is a writer and researcher who specialises in the literature and culture of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. She has published two literary biographies, one of them is “My just Desire: The Life of Bess Raleigh, Wife to Sir Walter”. And that is what I am going to talking you about.

When I was surfing on the Internet, I found something that might be interesting for you. After seeing the movie "Elizabeth: The Golden Age", I've been thinking about what happened with Bess, lady of the court of the Queen Elizabeth. And I found this book published in August 2003 that talks about the secret marriage between Bess and Sir Walter.
This is a biography of one the ladies of the privy chamber to Queen Elizabeth I of England.

“Young, beautiful, and connected by blood to the most powerful families in England”, Bess Throckmorton had as much influence over Queen Elizabeth I as any woman in the realm, but she risked everything to marry Sir Walter Raleigh. The secret marriage between Bess and the Queen’s beloved  cost both of them their fortunes, their freedom, and very nearly their lives.


 In this biography, Bess Ralegh finally emerges from her husband’s shadow to stand as a  dominant  figure in her own right.


I have not had a chance to read it, but it seems pretty interesting to me. Here I leave you a video of scenes from their romance in the movie. (The name of the video should be Walter & Bess, but just ignore it)


Hope you like it!! And leave me your comments.
Shakespeare, The Queen and yours virginity.

In the film is only visible to a queen Elizabeth being integral, only shows the conflict that  you want to treat obviously looks, but seeing this, I started to think:  what will the queen when he wasn't discussing, solving problems, and watching  that not to kill it? So I researched a little about your tastes or things she enjoyed and reaches an interesting topic, the theater. 
Elizabeth enjoyed much of view doing theater when emerged as all  in the Elizabethan period.
At that time, they wrote tragedies of neo-classical style that was under the influence of the climate of political and economic change in the England of the time ( also were presented in private for the queen).one of the most important dramatist of that era was williams shekespeare.
With the latter arises a new speculation that William shekespeare was not actually who wrote all the works that bear his name but that was Edward de vere, earl that according to some was one of many illegitimate children of the queen, but was not the virgin queen? Apparently not. 
I found a film set in the Elizabethan period that poses a question that, for centuries, scholars have debated and great writers from Mark Twain and Charles Dickens to Henry James and Sigmund Freud: who was the author of the works of theater traditionally attributed to William Shakespeare?. Also show one of the alleged love stories of the Queen where could be deny your virginity.
