<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Despite the fact that most of my partners considered the movie boring or inaccurate, I actually enjoyed it pretty much. I got to admit that it was not as most realistic as possible, but that is just an aspect that most of this tye of movies have. Although, I understand that directors and productors tend to make their films in a pragmatic way so that the story telling could be more flexible, which makes it more entertaining.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I dare to say that I liked the acting of all the main characters, and specially of Keir Gilchrist, who brings Craig Gilner to life. I believe that he did a great job at showing how insecure and alone the protagonist was.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>To finish, I think "It's kind of a funny story" tries to teach its viewers and important lesson. Not only does it touch certain issues about mental diseases, but also it expresses the value of life and the importance of appreciating it. </div>

Within the first ten minutes of the movie, I was already taken aback by how the fact that the boy wanted to commit suicide was treated in an insensitive manner. Then, still to my surprise, the whole movie ended up being like that.<br />
Not only has the movie managed to treat all mental illnesses as if they were some kind of joke, but also romanticize mental disorders in general to the point where it seems as if suicide is some kind of solution to any problem.<br />
Moreover, I cannot help but feel that the little speech given by the main character, Craig, right at the end of the film was just a poor attempt by the director to cover up the fact that the whole plot was completely unrealistic in terms of the time he spent in the mental institution and so in order not to receive negative backlash for that same reason.<br />
Overall, it's safe to say that I was not a fan of the movie and the glorification of these extremely important issues that are ever so present in our society. This parody of mental diseases, there is no other way to put it, can be easily triggering for anyone who has suffered or is suffering any type of disorder, especially youngsters who are the most vulnerable audience; funny enough, they are also the target audience for this movie. Furthermore, it is insulting and offensive for people who struggle with these illnesses on a daily basis.<br />

I found this movie to be quite entertaining and it deals with themes of high importance, although these might not have been dealt with as seriously as they required to.<br />
<div>
On the plus side, not only it is one of the few movies I see that deal with mental disorders and (at least tries) to create awareness of topics with such a big impact on all humans, moreover, the jokes it made highly appeal to me. The last item in favour of this film is that it was easy to watch, entertaining, something surprising considering the themes treated and its length, a little above most movies.</div>
<div>
"It's Kind of a Funny Story" has some major drawbacks too, particularly with the tone it uses, for works of art that touch themes as important as mental health and disorders it is crucial to express things with a serious tone and knowing this is a sensitive topic. This movie dances on the grave of this rule. Don't get me wrong, I believe every topic can be dealt with in a funny way, but the humour used here just doesn't work taking into account the seriousness of the ilnesses portayed. Another thing this film does terribly wrong is the act of creating awareness of these disorders, this is done by making the characters aware too, but never does this happen. Another issue is the inaccurate portrayal of different disorders, this shouldn't be as big of a trouble but it is so annoying that throughout the entire film you are reminded that you are in a mental institution using the method of "hey, you are in a place filled with fucked up people, have these fucked up moments".</div>
<div>
As a whole, the movie is not that great, but at least it is memorable and has some funny scenes here and there, albeit I would not recommend it if you are looking for something earth-shaking.<br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I dare say
I personally did not enjoy the movie. Firstly, I agree with what some peers
said about the topic not being adequately approached. Not only did they not
show the ones I think are the most common signs of the main character´s illness,
but also the other psychiatric diseases were not shown in a serious way. The
topic that was chosen was not simple; there are many which are difficult to
portrait ( such as illnesses or sexual harassment and rape ), and one has to be
very careful in the way they approach them as the viewers are more prone to
misunderstand the original focus or idea, and get a different perspective to
the one you may have wanted to give to the movie. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

there may be exceptions, but I totally disagree with the stereotype of the kid
being pressurized by his father to pursue a good future. Nowadays things have
changed; teenagers fought to win the power to choose their own future. What´s
more, the passion with which he explains that he wants to go to summer school
to get a scholarship to a good university and therefore be as successful as to
become the president, shows that he is the one who wants to go beyond the
limits, and fight to become the best version of himself. Furthermore, I have
the impression that changing one´s mind in one second is utterly unrealistic; I
do not believe one can go from being stressed about getting into university to
become the president to forgetting what he had always wanted in less than five
days. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

With great confidence in your ability to appreciate (precisely) the beauty of AB, it is that I decided to share it with my braves in class. Not only did you look involved in its plot and funny moments but rather you seemed to enjoy it all along. As this is essentially an honest project, I do not expect you to make a thorough analysis of its most striking aspects, let alone an in-depth cover of its characters, though you are free to do so if you will. As you let the movie seep into your conscious mind, you might choose to follow whatever road that most interests you. In class, I suggested themes, though you may feel inclined to follow the process of research and then comment or viceversa on any issue, deciding to contrast what you read with what you felt or still feel about certain issues. Needless to say, I hope you are able to pick your brains and delve into your hearts to make your contributions. Those not present are most welcome to watch it on their own and become part of it.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>What is normal is decided by the society we live in<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I dare say that I am in agreement with this comment because
each society has their own thoughts, beliefs and rules. These orders, that
should be obeyed, are not the same in all societies. What is normal is to
follow them. For example, in a determined society a man can have only one wife.
Meanwhile in other societies men can have several women at the same time. So,
for this societies this seems normal because they are accustomed to and because
it is a different culture. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In addition, I really liked what Rochi said that being "normal" is what you decide and you are not mandatory to follow them all (only the ones you prefer)</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I am in contradiction with this statement because I think
pets are a great companion and also a distraction for people of all ages. Moreover,
dogs in special are excellent to keep the house safe as they are highly protective. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For certain types of pathologies, some psychologists
recommend to have pets in their homes to help their children as part of the treatment. For
example, the affection of the pets, it is showed that help blind people and autistic

On this week's Debates class, we investigated the topic "Ill health begins in the mind" to discuss in class.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This statement has always seemed to me as a truth because I have read and heard many times that being in a certain mood (for instance, sadness or rage) can generate different changes in your body (such as an increase or decrease in your cardiac rhythm, a change in your body temperature, etc.). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During this debate, my opinion regarding this affirmation has stayed the same, if not reinforced, due to the remarkable arguments my peers presented to defend the statement, which nurtured my knowledge about the topic. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We also discussed the statement "real learning does not happen in the classroom", which, in my opinion, is complete nonsense. What does "real learning" mean?. In my view, this type of statements that somehow try to say that schools/teachers are useless seem utterly ridiculous to me because most of them do not take into account the willingness of the student to learn and that, in my opinion, is the main factor which determines how much a person can learn.</div>

<span lang="EN-US">Mainly, we
dealt with two topics yesterday: “Ill health begins in the mind “and “Real
language does not occur in a classroom”, with which I’m in agreement. Regarding
the first statement, our mind and our body are interconnected, in fact the
brain is part of our organism, and so, taking this into account, I dare say
that our mental state has an impact on our body. In other words, our
emotions affect us physically. For instance, when we feel worried, stressed,
anxious, afraid or guilty, those emotions weaken our immune system, which can
trigger a number of sicknesses, such as colds, digestive disturbances, chronic
aches, high blood pressure or heart attacks. In regard to the second
affirmation, from my point of view, it is not that we do not learn in a classroom,
we do so, but we are taught about subjects we are uninterested in which if we
do not want to devote ourselves to a job which it’s necessary to know about one
of them, then it will be useless for us to study about the history of Egypt
for example. Moreover, if those subjects are indifferent to us, we will study
for an exam and probably we will forget about what it was about in one month. Though, out of school we do learn, throughout
the experience of life, how to live in society, the values or how to react to
different situation because there does not exist a book about any of those
topics that school will send us to read and beacuse is something that is not learnt by reading but through actions and mistakes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The last
statement we talked about said that women should be treated in a certain way. I
totally disagree with it because, as many of my peers said, we all must be
treated equally. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I personally find the second statement to be more interesting and more wide to discuss. Even though we did not came up with a conclussion for the first statement I really enjoyed doing research for it and mentioning my reasons for why homework should be banned. I completely agree with one thing one of my classmates mentionated which was "Homework should be reduced but not banned", although it was not the statement provided in class I found it really interesting to discuss.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02912325178920492557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927923424078712790.post-55084284981587764712017-05-18T15:58:00.001-07:002017-05-18T15:58:26.300-07:00Dead Poet´s Society follow upThe Dead Poets Society, the Next Day...<br />

All together made the landscapes look beautiful and well placed, and scenes much more real. If it would have taken place today, on a big urban city, it would be completely different, boarding schools are almost gone, at least in Argentina, there are not many schools located on the countryside. The movie would lose it’s sense without the  tidy uniforms,  and the structured and old ways of teaching. Besides that, I would love to share my opinion on a particular “theme”, I want to highlight that as Mr. Keating’s way of learning was the same as “now”. Once his students find his old yearbook, he claimed he was not proud of the student he was, he did all the conservatism values the institute had. To change that, he would teach literature differently, in his own fashion, without any school influence, he did what he wanted to. </p>
<p dir="ltr">About the characters, protagonists? The whole class where! (of course Mr Nolan was too). If I have to categorize them by relevance or participation, Neil, Mr Keating would be the so called main characters. Neil, Todd, Knox, Charlie, Meeks, Cameron, where the paramount group of the movie and the class itself. Mr Keating, the state-of-the-art teacher. I dare to say, if I had to realate grown-ups personal goals and teenagers or students goals, I would say that every adult in the story wants those goals reflected on their sons or students. For instance, Mr. Perry wanted his son to do whatever he wanted him to do, study this, do that, stick to the society customs, acting was insane, any disrespect or answering to him would take him to military school. Furthermore, the Academy and mostly the headmaster; Mr. Nolan, wanted everyone to be disciplined and follow the school rools.  As I mentioned before, Mr. KEating wanted his students to get out of their comfortable-zone, think out of the box, dare to do whatever they ever dreamt about, to question the  input of the society on their lives, to live their own life, seize the day! (Carpe Diem). About this “seize the day” “topic”, I came to the conclusion after watching the film, that Mr. Keating tryes to take the students out of the institute tradition, create their own lives and teach them in a way they feel different, they feel more freedom.  They are all forced to stand up when the teacher enters the classroom, talk super formally, get spanked if they made a “mistake” or “reveal”, all this non-sense kind of actions implied by the school teachers and the students’ predecessors. I think throughout the movie, the students increase their “willingness” to break free and they finally do it when all of them stand on their desk, showing rebellion against Mr Nolan and the school and showing support to Mr Keating. Students begin to behave differently once they see how things go with Mr Keating, he teaches in a new way, he makes them go out to scream and let everything out, rip the pages that he thought were useless, jump from their benches to see everything from a different perspective, and he introduced  the Dead Poets Society to them. About the influence of the families on their kids, I consider wrong the way Neil’s and Todd’s parents raise them, forcing them to study what they couldn’t in the past, trying to forge the kid they weren’t able to be. Todd specifically, was given a desk set as a present every single year, as his parents wanted him to be a lawyer, with the influence of Mr Keating and the help of Neil, he get rid of it, he throws it from the rooftop, showing and claiming he was not going to stand that any more. In the case of Neil, it was much harder than throwing something, his father was really strict and wouldn’t stand neil answering or claiming he thought otherwise. Neil was threatened when he told his father he wanted to start acting , his father almost immediately related this to Mr Keating way of teaching. The threat was to take Neil to a military school if he did not follow his father's commands. Other thought I had… What if Neil did not commit suicide, what if he killed his father instead, that would be awesome and so much different. He could have hidden the body and continued with his acting career and his awesome classes with Mr Keating. Other option would be if Neil instead of killing himself, he stole money from his parents, pay the school, or apply for a scholarship and maintain the DPS and deny its existence.  If Mr. Keating had never come to Neil’s life, he would have certainly not commited suicide, he wouldn’t have dared to answer his father that many times, and keep pushing him to let him become a proffessional actor.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I believe, as the word says, a snowy setting with “cold” snow and skyes, makes the scene or movie much more; sad or depressing, in the end for example it makes a great help to show the sadness Neil’s peers carry after his death. Personally I would not like  the movie as much if it have had taken place on sunny California, you would not be as immersed in the movie that way.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I could not upload this sooner because I wasnt able to finish until the weekend because every website said “server down please try again later” so the movie could not be displayed</p>

In the positive aspect, it helped us improve our "improvisation skills" (it helped us think faster).

It was said by a nutricionist on the radio. Besides that, we are homosapiens, and this "type" of human being is omnivorous, we would we change that? Furthermore, vegetarians don't eat meat because they want to decrease the amount of animals killed and the pain they suffer, but they eat chicken eggs, cows milk and other stuff that still come from animals. How do you know cows or chicken don't suffer when farmers take their eggs from them or milk them everyday. That is kind of hypocrite.</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02058201042710304544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927923424078712790.post-21817649693101446332017-05-10T18:44:00.000-07:002017-05-10T18:46:52.571-07:00"All people should become vegetarians"<div class="ELUvyf" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 16px 16px; word-wrap: break-word;">

It suprised me a lot and I learned many things from the information that some of them prepared for the class.

The contamination the production of certain products used in the handling of both the meat and vegetables cause could and should be stopped. Other than thinking about a cow´s feelings (which I consider silly), the world should do its best to keep our beloved planet Earth in the best possible conditions. The reason why I disagreed with the statement, is because of the word "all" in it. Maybe some people should (or must) become vegetarians due to health (or other) issues, but certainly not all.<br />

<span lang="EN-US">Today we discussed
the statement “all people should be vegetarian” I strongly disagree with this
since meat has a lot of nutrients that although they could be replaced with
other vegetables it will never be the same. Eating meat and killing animals to
survive is in the human nature and you can probe this by our teeth, they are
sharp enough to cut meat and if we were not supposed to consume it we would
have square and non-sharp teeth. Some people are concerned because of the suffering
of animals before death, if that is the reason why they stopped eating meat
they could consume kosher products that is a Jew method of killing the animal
reducing its suffering<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> All in all everyone is free to choose weather
to eat meat or not although I thinks it is better to do so.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Firstly, being vegearian isn´t just a simple decision about saving animals lives, it is a decision about your life and your health. By becoming a vegetarian, you are denying to your body vital nutrients that are essential for our physical development. Even though many vegetarian consume pills in order to replace this missing vitamins, it´s not the same taking pill than eating a piece of meet. On the other hand, the survival of our specie has always involved killing species that are less developed than us. If we think about it, this behavour is comppleteely unfair, but things have worked like this for the past million years and it is almost imposible to change a whole society´s mentality just beacuse a reduced group of people consider it ridiculous to kill an innocent animmal in order to survive.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09764051621676997558noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927923424078712790.post-82079664782395961692017-05-10T17:09:00.003-07:002017-05-10T17:09:40.538-07:00My views on "all people should become vegetarians"- Santiago Ortega<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">My view about this topic has slightly changed during this utterly fascinating argument, mainly because I would not hesitate to eat what I had in front of me when meat was served, even though I still strongly believe that vegetarianism is not the best diet for humans, it certainly has its benefits (for example, less fat consumption) and one can choose what they want to eat as long as it does not harm them, in other words, the same way some people become vegetarians because they disliked the taste of meat, people have the ability to eat animal-based products as much as they want to.</span></span></div>
