Climate change is the most serious issue facing the world today.

This is a hotly debated topic these days because of the fame that Greta Thunberg has reached, in fact, she is a teenager who has started a decisive revolution to deal with this issue.

The climate change is not as simple as it is usually summed up, that is to say, it is a complex process that involves many elements as global warming, pollution made by exhaust fumes and fossil fuels, but also the high consumption of general resources, especially plastics because it has been proved their horrible impact on the environment.

So this problem goes forward our minds, and scientists aren’t totally able to determine all the consequences, but they are desperately claiming its causes, and the global population is not doing anything.

For these reasons, Greta Thunberg has decided to make people aware, and also to turn this problem in one of the first topics of human’s agenda. Governments have to act now, or these processes will be uncontrollable, and we will destroy our home, the future of the Earth depends on us.

From my perspective, this coronavirus crisis has replaced climate change affairs, but, under no doubt, it is the most concerning preoccupation nowadays, it’s not a trend (as many people think). In addition, I could add that it is the egoism the principal reason for our ignorance and lack of preoccupation, why we should be concerned about something that will manifest in the future? The fact is that climate change consequences could be appreciated just right now.

Does advertising influence people?

Nowadays, we are surrounded by lots of adverts, sprawled in a huge variety of places, not only physical but also the ones which are on many online webs. The fact is, are we aware of this?

Perhaps, older people who have lived in the past, which was partly free of advertising, are more conscientious of this, but young people, like me, who have born in the twenty-one century, don’t appreciate this dangerous environment. In addition, this population is the most influenceable, and it is because we try to be up to the most recent trends, and this involves attending advertising of the big brands.

From my perspective, modern societies are lead by the ones who can make themselves visible, popularity is the most powerful weapon. Nevertheless, visibility is linked to money, and this is the reason why networks like "YouTube" can offer free content or brands have invented a lot of marketing methods.

Taking that into account, it is reasonable to think that we are totally influenced by advertising, if not, why would brands spend piles of money on publicity?

So, the heart of the matter is if there are limits and we are secure and able to deal with this, in order to maintain our will and freedom. In my opinion, two actions must be taken, the one is to regulate companies, because sometimes they are too invasive, and the other depends on us because we have the last word when a product is bought.

DO GIFS AND EMOJIS AFFECT OUR WRITING?

This is a hotly debated topic these days because of the impact of more and more instant communication. From my perspective, the heart of the matter is why the language is as relevant as it is thought.

First of all, a little philosophy. What makes us humans is precisely our ability to talk and think, what is more, the reasoning can’t be made without words. However, many people claim that the strength of images and media is to be considered.

Nowadays this point of view is totally appreciable, due to apps like “WhatsApp” which promotes audio and gifs instead of written words. The consequence is the increase in the number of young people who seem to have forgotten how to express their own ideas. And this is logical, in an unconscientious way, we tend to simplify and make our conversations faster.

Personally, I understand the utility of emojis, in fact, I use them. Nevertheless, they mustn’t be used as the common languages, because they limit our expressions and thoughts which are absolutely more complicated than a dozen small symbols.
