LUKA MODRIC: THE CHAMPION WHO CAME FROM THE WAR

 

His name was Luka Modric, he wasn’t a footballer but a shepherd. The war in Yugoslavia had just began and one day in December 1991 the Serbian rebels found and killed him because he was Croatian. That same day his son, Stipe Modric, moved with the whole family to Zara. At the age of six, his eldest son Luka, same name as his grandfather, was starting a new life as a war refugee. Twenty-seven years later, that child is one of the strongest footballers in the world: Luka Modric winner of the Balon d'Or.   

AREA 51: WHAT A MYSTERIOUS PLACE!

 

Located in Nevada, Area 51 is one of the most mysterious places in the world as it’s often linked to flying saucers, UFOs and extra-terrestrial creatures.

Among all the strangest places on Earth, Area 51 is definitely conspiracy theorists’ favourite.

But how come this place has been a source of so many fake news? What was it really for and why are there so many secrets concerning it?

LET'S TALK ABOUT HAPPINESS

Rich, lucky and healthy people are considered happy, but  not all of them are. Actually, I think those who do not sink into material welfare are happier, and above all those who have peaceful souls. Speaking philosophically,  we can say that happiness is within us, not outside.

People are convinced that to be happy you have to be free to do whatever  you want, you have to own  riches and you have to be loved. But is that true?

PUNCTUALITY, A TREASURABLE QUALITY

 

Hi guys, welcome back to our blog! Today we’re going to discuss punctuality: what it is, why it is so important and so on, in a way you've never seen! Let’s start or, if you prefer to stay on topic, hurry up!

DELTA BLUES AND THE LEGEND OF ROBERT JOHNSON

Hi everyone and welcome back. Today I’m going to talk about an interesting story,  the legend of Robert Johnson and Delta Blues.

Delta blues is one of the earliest-known styles of blues; it originated in the Mississippi Delta, and is a regional variation of country blues. Guitar and harmonica are its dominant instruments and a slide was usually used. In 1930s there weren’t steel slides so bluesmen used bottlenecks to play their guitars. Vocal styles in Delta blues range from introspective and soulful to passionate and fiery.

PAY GAP BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN

 

 

Very often we hear about the fact that women are paid less for doing the same job as men, which means women are paid less just for being women. But why does this happen?

It wasn’t very long ago that most women didn’t work outside the home at all. In 1950s there weren’t very many women in the workforce and the women there were were  often not as well educated as the men. 70% of them had menial job on factory assembly lines or in office and the only professional job was  teaching. Discrimination against women was also totally legal, allowing employers to put out job listing for men only.

THE PROS AND CONS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY

 

In the world there are many energy sources, but I decided to talk about one of them, nuclear energy. In the last ten years  humans have been trying to save the planet, modifying  their lifestyle. For example, a solution is to produce electric and Hybrid cars to try to decrease the air pollution but this isn’t enough. Many energy sources produce CO2.  So scientists want to find an alternative type of energies that are not pollutant for the environment. 

DREAMING OF A BETTER WORLD

We live in a period in which it seems that the ethical values and ideals that were reference points for past generations are no longer there. In our age what prevails over the important values of life are money and materialism. Meanwhile, man tends not to see social problems such as unemployment, racism, crime and environmental degradation, continuing in his search for pleasure and luxury, even if in the depths of his soul he feels a sense of dissatisfaction.
