MARIA HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT SIMON SINEK'S VIDEO ON MILLENNIALS

Who are the Millennials?

Millennials are people who were born from 1984 on, so I am a millennial and since I’m a part of them I’m going to refer to millennials using we.

So basically we are accused of being narcissistic, unfocused, self-interested, tough to manage, lazy and entitled. The last one means that we claim something without even working to get it.

All those adjectives describes only a part of us because we aren’t all equal. Maybe the majority of millennials recognize themselves in those definitions but it’s wrong to say that we are all like that, it’s not good to generalize.

TEEN HEROES: MALALA YOUSAFZAI

Hi everyone, welcome back to our blog! I'm Giorgia R. and today I would like to talk about Malala Yousafzai, a female education activist who stood up to the Talibans, survived an assassination attempt and became the youngest  person ever to win a Nobel Peace Prize.

But What about her life? What did she do to make a change in the world?

Malala was born in the Swat  region of Pakistan, where she grew up. Her  parents were determined to give her every opportunity a son would have, starting with an  EDUCATION.  But then, in 2007, Swat Valley, one of Pakistan’s most beautiful regions, was taken over by the Talibans. Life under the Talibans was difficult and women were discouraged from getting an education.  Malala’s father, an educator who ran a number of private schools for girls, attempted to educate girls under the radar.  Later the Talibans officially banned girls from going to school. In  2009 Malala started  blogging for the BBC under a pen-name, chronicling her life under  the Taliban  regime.  The  New York Times made a short documentary about  her and  she publicy campaigned  for girls  to go to school. But this put  Malala in the limelight sparking the Talibans to target her.  In 2012 she was shot in the head and shoulder.

WHY I LIKE PROG METAL MORE THAN OTHER KINDS OF MUSIC

Hi everyone, my name’s Francesco C. and I’m fond of prog metal. So I’d like to tell you the reasons why I like this kind of music  and why you should start listening to it.

  

Prog metal and prog metal famous bands

  

 Prog metal (short for progressive metal ) is a metal subgenre  born at the end of the ‘80s. This genre  includes songs and albums very different from other subgenres of metal rock. Bands which can’t be classified in any other subgenre of metal are progressive bands, but anyway they have some similar features:

- The extreme complexity of the songs,  which makes the members of those groups being very good. They’ve been studying their musical instrument for a long of time

- Songs generally can last from 4 minutes to more than 30 minutes, which is more than the average.

- Prog is influenced by lots of other kinds of music, such as jazz, classical and other subgenres of metal.    Songs are usually in odd-time signature

INTERSTELLAR: MANKIND'S NEXT STEP WILL BE OUR GREATEST

“Mankind was born on Earth. It was never meant to die here.”

The movie

Interstellar is a 2014 American science fiction film written and direct by Christopher Nolan. It stars Matthew McConaughey as Joseph Cooper, Anne Hathaway as Amelia Brand, Jessica Chastain as Murphy Cooper, Bill Irwin as TARS (voice and puppetry) and CASE (puppetry), Ellen Burstyn as old Murphy and Michael Caine as Professor Brand.

Interstellar has some of the most beautiful images of  the space. The space is vast and the depiction of a wormhole accomplishes amazement especially to science fiction space. The black hole is even more amazing and it is a recurrent image throughout the movie. It’s in these lingering shots of a tiny spacecraft floating through the galaxy that we can recognize the influence of Kubrick’s space Odyssey. 

Interstellar include complex but fascinating theories referring to Physics,  thanks to a scientific consultant,  Kip Thorne, who also wrote a book where he explains all the Physics in the film (The Science of Interstellar).
