Children's rights

We've talked about human rights, but also if human rights include children, there are theChildren rights.

Children's rights are like the human rights but with particular attention to the rights of special protection and care afforded to minors. 

Those rights had been created by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and it defines a child as any human person who has not reached the age of eighteen years. Obviously a child is a lot of other things, and they have a lot of needings. So children's right includes right to association with both parents, human identity, as well as the basic needs for physical protection, food, universal state-paid education, healthcare, and a lot more of rights specificly for children.

I consider that those rights are very important, because childs share needings with adults, but they have others that need to a more accurate protection. Is very important to protect chid's lifes, first because they are human, but also because they are the future of our generation.

Freedom of speech

Freedom of speech is the freedom to speak freely without censorship. The right to freedom of expression is recognized as a human right under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

In my opinion this is one of the most fundamental human rights. I consider that freedom of speech has to exists in all the contries of the world by many reasons. 

First of all, if you want to be respectfull withsomeone, youhave to aloud him to express, doesn't matters if you like or not what the other is saying. Moreover, a society in that everyone can say his opinion has as a consequence a society in which there are different ideas that originate a lot of debates ans different points of view, leading society to progress.

Also is important to preserve this right because in many cases is necessary to report agains something or someone and when the reports are agains government for example, if there wasn't this right, our society would ever be conservative and the progress would not be possible.

Altercation in Bolivia

In Bolivia, there has been a protest of disabled citizen. The police used pepperspray and tear gas on them with serious consequences of bolivian protestors, many of them collaped.  There were aproximately 150 activists who make a 230-mile trek to La Paz in order to protest in front of the presidantal palace, but their intennctions were frustated by the police.

They were demanding an increase of their benefits, because they recieve just under 100 pounds a year, and they were asking to recieve at least 50 monthly punds instead.

They have taken extreme measures raise awareness of their plight. Some of the even suspended themselves from bridges, but the government says that a monthly bonus of 50 pounds is unsustainable.

Despite the reaction of the government and the extreme measures taken by police to stop the protest, the government saidthey will talk with the protesters.

Australia's Great Barrier Reef bleaching

In Australia there is one of the most great reserves of coral, the Australia's Grat Barrier Reef. The most untouched par tof it has a severe bleaching, is the most severe bleaching in its history.

There was make a footage, which filmed over 500 coral reefs durig six days, from Cairns to Paupa New Guinea, and this footage shows that the 95% of the coral area is white and yellow.

Scientists say that this bleaching happens because of the rising water temperatures. The reaction of the coral, under stress, drives out living algae, causing it to calcify, and part of that is down to the current El Niño climate cycle. 

They say that if the World Heritage Site doesn't get a brak in the weather conditions within weeks, some coral areas are unlikely to survive. The World Meteorological Organisation says a break in temperatures is unlikely, as this year looks set to be the hottest on record.

The Great Barrier Reef stretches 1,200 miles (1,931 kilometres) along Australia's northeast coast and is the world's largest living ecosystem.

The building is situated in a park on the estat of Manoir de Ban, in the village of Corsier-sur-Vevey on Lake Geneva. The decision of the location of the museum was been made because Chaplin himselfspent the last 25years of his life there, with his wife and their eight children.

Olympic relay torch, and the sense of Olympic Games

This is a ceremony that is done every four years, with the occurrence of the Olympic Games. Is a process in which a flame is lit in the greek hill of Olympia, where the ancient Olympic Games got started in the past, long centuries ago, an it travels all around the world until it arrives to the country in that the Olympic Games take place.

In my opinion this is a very nice event, not only because reminds us the true origins of theOlympic Games, but also because the whole ceremony, and what indeed the Olympic Game are,  is a symbol of human ulnity, a symbol of solidarity, because this ceremony envolves a lot of different contrieswith diverse cultures, but no matters the differences, we all humans share the Olympics in the same measure. 

I agree that sport sometimes can stir up a lot of conflict, but in the big events as the Olympic Games is a benefit for humanity because is an event in which the different countries know each other, and as ever promotes the sport, they do it in a respectfull way. 

Olympic torch lit



The 4th of may of 2016, four days ago, the Olympic torch begun its journey to Rio de Janeiro. In Olympia, where every year takes place the starting ceremony of the olympics torch relay, there was the opening event in which an actress playing a hig priestess used the sun's rays and parabolic mirror to light the torch, and she also offered a mock prayer to Apollo, the God of light and music in the ancient Greece culture. While she was holding an olive branch, she lit the relay torch held by a Brazilian artistic gymnast.

The "journey" of the olympic torch will last six days, and it will travel around 329 cities around the world before ending at the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Rio on 5th August.

Brazil has to face difficult times, and the brazilian president, Dilma Rousseff, faces impeachment. The crisis has paralysed the country's ability to revive its economy from recession. And there are more problems, for example, preparations for the Games have been had a lot of problems and a shortage of cash.

This is the 80th anniversary of the torch relay, the first one took place ahead of the 1936 Olympics inBerlin.
