Reflection 1

Recently, I was a witness to a situation, that made me think about human relations. I was casually looking through a car window, when I saw a car, that had just hit another one. They weren't going fast so it wasn't dangerous and the only effect could be a scratch. As me and my dad were coming closer to these vehicles, we could hear two drivers having loud and tense conversation. Woman, whose car was hit, yelled and insulted her interlocutor, who obviously didn't drive into her on purpose. I didn't observe this incident from beginning to end, but there was a better way to behave in such situation. I think, that people often lack empathy or are under stress and react so aggressively. We shouldn't be so hostile to people, because we won't solve any problems in that way.

What do we learn about modern society from the film "Joneses"?

This film reveals our weakness to advertisements, particularly stealth marketing. Many people will buy a product if it's presented with something they like. In the film, Larry starts to envy relationship Steve has with Kate. As a result, he buys products, that his friend has, believing it will make his own life as good as Steve's. Spectator, after watching this film, can learn how advertisements affect people and be more aware of such tricks.

Does art have to be beautiful?

In my opinion art is supposed to either express emotions of an author, be nice to watch/hear or be thought-provoking. Having this in mind, art doesn't have to be beautiful, but should fulfill one of criteria I invented. I also think, that we mustn't tell the artist what to do, because it may kill his creativity. Secondly, everyone has a different taste and maybe there is someone who actually likes not-beautiful works. To sum up, art doesn't have to be beautiful and can be made for different purpose than amusing watchers' eyes/ears.

What does mean to be a real man in 21st century?

There are very few features of a real man, that doesn't apply to women. Man are often stronger than women so they should use it wisely and in order to help rather than to rule over women. If he is a father, he ought to educate and be a good example for children. A real man is someone, who knows his advantages and rights and uses them for good.

Review

I recently watched a video titled "Tree of life". It shows evolution of animals on Earth from a single cell. This interesting animation was narrated by David Attenborough.
In the beginning we hear "modern genetics has confirmed[Darwin's theory's]fundamental truth". This magic sentence is supposed to turn imagination into science, although narrator doesn't say what did exactly prove the evolution theory. Afterwards, we can see animals doing what they can't do nowadays- developing new features (adding new information to the DNA code). The presentation ends with mammals' origin and summary from David Attenborough. 
I don't recommend this video, because it isn't supported by any scientific research. Also, developing new feature wasn't observed for thousands of years and this clip shows this happening all the time in the past, which is illogical. 

Would I like to work in Mandarin Oriental Hotel?

I would like to work in Mandarin Oriental, because it is place, where I can spend good time and learn a lot. I consider working in such hotel a great opportunity to meet interesting people and master my English language. Living in such beautiful city with big opportunities like London is a big advantage, too. Mandarin Oriental seems as a perfect hotel for people, who like cooperating with others and want to widen their horizons.

Is it possible, that we will stop being a throwaway society?

There is a minor chance for people to stop being a throwaway society. It can't be an instant switch from wasting and destroying our environment to disposing wisely every gram of natural resources. People will slowly realise, that they run out of petrol or water or something useful and maintain their habits to those changes. So we may stop being a throwaway society in future, but with serious problem, that will motivate us to do so.
