As we all know on the first day of September 1939 the second world war began. Every year we celebrate this date and remember all the lives lost because of this horrible time. This year I decided to pay a bit more attention to tv transmissions of the events. After watching few relations on few different tv stations I came to a conclusion that something is very wrong about them. I think all the ceremonies have way too much political influence. What I mean by that is the fact that different parties celebrate by their own and not together how it should be done. Second thing is that instead of just using this time to remember all people who died during the war politicians try to show that they care the most about the anniversary and that they celebrate in better ways than the others. It annoys me because in my opinion this date should be the symbol of unity and bravery of our the nation that was attacked almost 80 years ago and not another chance to get more votes.

Does art have to be beautiful? In my opinion it doesn't. I think that some works of art just can not be beautiful. For example there are some incredible movies that are considered art but can't be beautiful because you can't really call a movie about some hard topics like war or murder beautiful. Another thing is that some pieces of art aren't made to look nice but for example to make people think about something or show them how our world changes. This is why In my opinion art doesn't always have to be beautiful.  

I do not think I would like working there for many reasons but I will give just a few. Fist you always have to wear a suit. I'd prefer to be able to wear what I want to work. Next thing is that you have to be always pleasant to the guests and simile all the time which wouldn't be a problem most of the times but sometimes everyone has a bad day and don't really want to be forced to smile all day. Other thing that makes me really not wanting to work there is that you have to do whatever the guests want and you can just say that you will not do something because you don't want to. Also some guests can be really rude and demanding so I don't think I'd be able to resist it for a long time even if I got paid well. I know that this job can be a dream job for some people but I think it is just not for me.

The obesity is the real problem in the world we live in today. Especially in the rich countries like U.S.A or Europe. Why there are more obese people in the world than there were let's say hundred years ago? I think it's because as we develop new technologies that help us grow more food and population is becoming richer we tend to buy more and more food. I don't see a one and only person or company that is responsible for all the obesity out there. Fast food restaurants and frozen food is not helping us deal with fatness but I would blame ourselves as the main culprit. Of course not all of us but we all know that eating too much can easily get out of control if we do not cut back on it sometimes. This is what makes it such a big threat to today's society and this is what we should blame for obesiety. 

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.

In my opinion many people still believe in super natural things because it is very hard for them to change their mindset about this. What I mean is we are all surrounded by culture of supernatural from the beginning of our lives. All the fairy tales we were told many books we read and many films we watch contain something that does not exist. We are just used to thinking those things are real from our childhood and even though science proved it all to be not real many times deeply inside some of us still believe it or question it's existence. Overall I think that the reason of so many people believing in supernatural is being raised in culture full of it.

People should definetly invest money in space exploration because it will give us a chance to colonize other planets. This is very important because we live on one small grain of sand suspended in space and we have no more place we can live. Also if some extremely dangerous event occured we would be doomed but if we establish many self-sufficient colonies in different systems we would secure our species from going extinct. The self-sufficiency is crucial here because they will be able to function just fine with our earth being destroyed not habitable any more. This is why I think we should invest money in it.
