Is it possible that we will stop being the throwaway society?

To be honest I don't see a big chance of us stopping being the throwaway society because it would be really really hard. We are used to throwing out stuff we don't need, when it's broken or when the new model of something comes out. This isn't the best thing to do considering how much of those things isn't recycled but this is how our market works. Electronics are made to last couple of years and after that they tend to slow down or just break down so we have to buy a new one. Big companies are controlling the whole market and we don't really have anything to say about it. That's why we won't stop being the throwaway society until we will change our mindset.

    The question was really about how probable it is for us to "change our mindset". You described the current reality in detail and accurately, suggesting that this mindset has little chance to change. So after reading the whole paragraph, your last sentence is rather confusing.

Reflection #3

Sports have been with us pretty much since the begining of our civilization but now became bigger than ever before. Nowdays we can watch a game of football for example that is being played tousands of kilometers away. That's amazing  because we are able to expirience sports like never until now and that's cool. But to me what is cooler is the phenomenon of cheering for sombody or some team. I think it is special because we don't know those people in person, we don't know who they really are like but still, we take time out of our day to spend it watching them compete with others. This is in my opinion the true magic of sports. Not the competition or the fact that you can win something etc. But the fact that it truly unites people from all countries, parts of the globe, from different cultures and religions. It just doesn't have any boundaries and that is what makes it so magical and special.

Reflection #2

"This road is too narrow", "Why didn't they build a bigger path for pedestrians here?", "Who designed the centre of this city? There is always so much traffic". I think we all heard or said something along these lines in our lives. We like to complain about the way a city or a town was planned but we don't realise that it isn't the easiest thing to do most of the times. City isn't built at once. Neither it is planned at once. It means that it will always change and will have to be adapted to always changing requirements of the people. For example architects two centuries ago didn't expect that today there will be cars in such big numbers on the streets so it is obvious that the roads built then are not able to handle the modern day challenges. There are more examples like that so I think we should be more forgiving next time we'll be stuck in traffic in the old part of the city.

Alt-right politicians

   Rising popularity for alt-right parties and politicians can be observed for some time now. Why is that? Well, In my opinion the cause of this is the fact that many years left-sided parties were getting more support and thus they made a bigger impact throughout these years than the right-sided ones. The evaluation whether these decisions were good is really personal. Some people liked them for sure and some people didn't. Because now alt-right parties are gaining support we can see that some people really hated the changes in recent years and decided to turn to opposing side even if that means voting for extremes. There were also some big events that made an impact on people's political opinions. For example many terrorist attacks in recent years. People are afraid of them and that makes them more likely to vote for parties with more nationalistic and conservative programmes. Those are in my opinion most important reasons of rising support for alt-right politicians.
