CHALLENGE: Can we make Humans rights more relevant in the world today?

Well, if the human rights are often overlooked is because a lot of people thinks that some people groups are better than others. With a proper education in home, maybe these rights will gain more importance.

But, focusing on today, what can we do each one to change this situation with social networks? It will be great to say "Oh, if we share more solidary messages or something like that people will be more serious about these things!". I think that if people doesn't help each other it will be impossible to do it; furthermore, there are some human rights that will be unrespected, no matter what. Some people will continue with their racist / homophobic mentality because it can't change so easily. You can't change your values each day. But well, if we show more catastrophic issues or things that really affect people, maybe we can make them doubt. Just kidding: I think that social networks don't play a major role in this issue.

In other words, the human rights problem must be dealed by the parents. Obviously, if your parents educate you well but you expend your time with untolerant friends that influenciate you, that will turn uneffective. So, we're going to be responsibles of the human rights next generation.

News: "Brighton fans report homophobic abuse to FA"

Brighton fans have been subjected to homophobic insults by rival supporters in over half of the club's games this season.Hove Albion Supporters' Club has spent over 15 years trying to get the authorities to take this regular abuse of one club's fans seriously, so people could go to the games with their children or their grandparents.

Seriously. I can't believe it. I'm not very surprised, but insulting another football club - not depending in the reasons - it's absolutely childish and immature. And if they are insulting each other because of sexual orientation, I don't know exactly how to describe those people. Did you go to see people playing football, or you go to see straight people playing football? Oh, jeez.
Anyway, this kind of situation can be seen worldwide, although maybe it's not reported. I think the football world can be sometimes intolerant, as shown on the news. I don't know if I can do anything as an individual to help to fix this situation, but I'll keep supporting the people who deserves to be supported, no matter who is.

HUMAN RIGHTS

1. What are human rights? They are rights we have simply for being human.
2. Why were they created? To preserve our natural rights (because of the barbaric acts of World War II).
3. How many human rights are there? There are thirty articles.
4. Which human right were you not familiar with? Mention an example where this human right is respected and where it is not respected. The right to have water to drink; it's respected when you go on a restaurant and you ask for a free glass of water, and it's not respected when you don't have any water to drink or the resources to access to it.

Summary of my research paper: "Study of geomorfologies and geological outcrops in Sant Miquel de Fluvià zone"

This research paper is oriented to expand the knowledge about the geological environment of Sant Miquel de Fluvià. It's focused on the study of three zones: an ancient watercourse, the confirmation of some fossil zones and a river meander. There was a rock classification on each zone, such as the fossil species that were found; also, all the fossil zones that were found were correctly located on maps and some outlines were made of the meander, to collect information for the construction of a model.

NOTE: I'm thinking on uploading my research paper.

News: " 'Weight is healthy' study criticised"

A study which suggests being overweight can lead to a longer life has caused controversy among obesity experts. That study points that a Body Mass Index between 25 and 35 (which includes overweight and midly obese people) makes people to life longer, saying that said being "overweight was associated with significantly lower all-cause mortality". However, being underweight or really obese did cut life expectancy. This study makes the Royal College of Physicians called for the UK to rethink the way it tackles obesity.

This doesn't myself, but it affects me in the way that there are people that I'm related to that are on that condition. They often think about being more thin but even if they try it harder, they can't reach their objective.

News: "Mental health medication concern"

It's found that many people with severe mental health problems miss out on the care they should receive for physical illnesses. It's said that patients' physical health was "often overlooked". It was found that patients with severe mental illness, such as schizophrenia, received lower than expected prescriptions for essential drugs. After all, experts often didn't care what they should about physical concerns related to mental illnesses.

I'm not under treatment of anything, but I know people that they are under a treatment. These "illnesses" aren't so agressive as schizophrenia, but that's not a reason to avoid the treatment only for lazyness. It's also true that some diseases need a psychological treatment with the drugs, but this is also often forgotten.

New words:

Campaigners: Els que fan una campanya
Overlooked: Oblidat
Schizophrenia: Esquizofrènia
