Thoughts on Education, Entertainment, and Politics

Education and Teaching Methods

Teaching is the basis of society, because each person has had to study something in their life, and these studies helped them to be trained as a person.

The traditional method of class is with a teacher who explains the lesson for that day, assigns homework, and administers tests to verify that the students have reached the objectives.

However, some think that this method is not good because exams produce fear in the students, causing many of them to fail despite having studied a lot. There are new methods of evaluating students, such as through projects.

Personally, I feel that it's better to have more exams with less content than fewer exams with a lot of material.

Reality TV Shows vs. Other Entertainment

Nowadays, people watch a lot of television, such as series or movies. That does not mean that Reality TV shows do not entertain, but there are others that are more popular.

Reality TV shows have more views because television channels collaborate with famous people to appear in their reality shows and get the attention of the viewer. There are a lot of types of TV shows, like funny shows, dramatic shows, or communication shows, but obviously, people watch more funny or dramatic shows than the other shows.

On the other hand, others believe that Reality TV shows aren't good entertainment because they are considered a waste of time. Some people watch television for many hours a day, and it is not good for their health.

Personally, I feel that Reality shows aren't good entertainment, but only if you watch them for a short time.

The State of Spanish Politics in 2018

2018 has been a complicated year in everything that has to do with politics. Spain has changed its government, has jailed independent leaders, Mariano Rajoy is no longer president, and the extreme right is returning.

There will soon be an election campaign. Citizens will have municipal and electoral elections.

There is a new political party, Vox, with its president Santiago Abascal. This political party seeks something against illegal immigration, freedom of the press and the media, and education, etc.

In my opinion, Spanish politics is now a disaster, but I hope that in the future everything will improve because politics moves the country. The king only has power in the army, and without a government, we will decay.
