Why do we have punishments ( at school ) and what are they used for ? Giving a punishment allows the teacher to show his / her disagreement about a student's attitude (not doing his / her job, to chew a chewin-gum in class, be late... ). The student therefore perceives punishment as a bad thing, however, the professor's intention is not to bother us. On the contrary, punishment serves as a lesson and helps us not to reproduce our mistakes in the world of work. Punishment is often useful, even if for us ( high school students ) it is only a waste of time. In addition, writing on the blog helps us to improve our writing. ( yes, what you are reading right now is a punishment )

What is your opinion about it ?

A disturbing video

Hi everyone,
To be honest with you I don't know a lot about the music "of my time".
However today I am going to talk about a song of an américain DJ named Moby called "Are you lost in the world like me" and more precisely about the video.
This video made me feel a little sad and I asked myself : "is that true?", and then I though : "No! He is an artist, it's exagerate".
What do you think about it ? Do you feel concerned ?

Here's the link to the video and an short article about it :

Remember this a discussion, so you can answer to each other.

Escape from reality

Do you think that youngsters nowadays – teenagers and young adults – are absorbed in the “parallel universe” of social media, TV series, fantasy fiction and video games because they want to escape from the reality of today’s world?

Read this article by a young Indian teenager who feels it is easier to ignore the major problems in the world today by turning away from reality and living in a bubble, because that’s what adults seem to be doing as well!
