Natural Environment

  

A current and striking topic that concerns to all of us but we all forget about it, is the wear of the naturla environment.

The natural environment includes all living and non-living things ocurring naturally on Earth. It is an environment that includes the interaction of all living species, climate weather and natural resources that affect human surviva and economic activity.

We could distinguish the natural environment by natural systems like for exaple microorganisms, atmosphere or natural phenomena and natural resorces such as the air, water or climate. However the global warming is affecting to this natural structures. A particular concern is the climate change caused by human-made as

other factors, from the carbon dioxide increase to the animals extinction. 

Even a young girl of thirteen years old attented to "The Earth Summit", celebrated by the ONU in Rio de Janeiro, and spoke about all the effects related to the human-made in our enviromental.

We live in this world and our next generations will do it too if this World stays as it was, We should take care of it, because if we don't who will?

THE 60s, THE CHANGE

President John F. Kennedy was the hope of all the americans that were treated unfairly. He was the "leader of the change" along with Martin Luther King, equality between black and white people, the stoppage of the Vietnam War, and freedom were the most important things that they fought for.

The world was an uproar and each person protested in a different way. For some people it was music, for others it was art, and for others it was their style. Everyone was expressing himself somehow so a lot of changes happened.

Musicians started to ptotest through music, when they sang their songs it was like hearing them talking to the world. They started doing rock which attracted people because it was something new, something different. Everyone started dancing freely and they followed the music with their hearts. Some noticeable world stars were The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones or Janis Joplin, among others.

Before the 60´s women did not have duties or liberty, black people were considered an inferior race, you had to be a model person and a model son who works for his country…

The revolutions antiwar was organized by students in college campuses , every day they were more young people in the antiwar revolutions or demonstrations, they occupied parks and other public places, some of those teenagers made bombs and set campus buildings in fire.

At the same time women started to search for their equality, they wanted to have the same possibilities and opportunities like men.

Martin Luther king showed us that the dark people can be and do the same think and also better than white people.

All those aspects have been included in a beautiful film called ACROSS THE UNIVERS.

The 60s. Fighting for a better place to live in. INESS BEN DAOUD

     « Art never comes from happiness » this famous quote can be applied to the sixties, also known by “decade of changes and revolution”. The people who suffered from racial discrimination or those who fought to death for their rights and minorities rights… all these sacrifices were worth it to make a better place to life in. Their objective was to live in a world where “violence” was just a word. During these years we can highlight a member of a subculture that was originally a youth movement that emerged in the United States, hippies.

     Hippies created their own communities, listened to psychedelic music, embraced the sexual revolution, and used drugs such as cannabis, LSD, peyote and psilocybin mushrooms to explore altered states of consciousness. They had their own kind of music, fashion, cars… we can say that hippies are the answer from the society towards what was happening then : Vietnam war, Kennedy’s murder, movements against racial segregation, and the fight for social justice, all shocking events.

     I think that this decade reflects the pain which is caused by wars and discrimination in general. And at least I hope these experiences have taught us many things such as: we all want to live in peace and to be different is no longer a bad thing, your thought will always be yours and no one can change that. I have learned that some one cannot change a relevant idea or a wise opinion; otherwise we can change the world in a good way if we challenge ourselves and each others to stop pointless judgment. Embracing and encouraging people to be free to create, debate without using any kind of violence and to make others realize that the path that leads us to be the reflection we want to see in our society, is based on the freedom to be true to who we are. “A dream you dream alone is only a dream, a dream you dream together is a reality” –John Lennon.

The 60's

The sixties was a decade of total change. It changed the art, the music, the clothes, the ideology... People fight for their liberty and equality, and they were many revolutions for have freedom.

The best way for expressing their own self was the music. 

And The Beatles known that because with their music they changed completely the life of the other people because it was like a support for them for keep on.

The characteristic symbol of this decade was " peace".

If I can describe the 60's decade I would say that it was a decade of promise and hearbreak.

When we talk about the sixties we can imagine a lot of important facts : the revolutionary movements, the hippie movement, a new music, the Beatles, the developement of rock music, a society more open minded, etc. This century was the begining of a new way of life.

The 60s century has been characterized by several things : in the political and social context  we can highlight the murder of John F. Kennedy, the murder of Martin Luther King that led to decrease racism, or also the social revolutions against the war of Vietnam.
