Art


I think Art is important because, we need a way to express ourselves, and art specific painting is an excellent way to do it, when we are little the teachers always encourage us for painting, because it enhance our coordination, and also because is relaxing and we can drag our thoughts into reality, even certain thoughts we don’t want to express, for that reason, psychologist, sometimes use the draws of little boys and even grow up people for make a better analyze. I always loved art, but in my own way, so I really enjoy looking art in a museum or just internet, and I loved art even when is from a recognize artist or just an unknown guy with just a website.

I have to admit that most of modern art I just hate it, specially the abstract art, the most of it, because many of times I think “artist” just take advantage of this, and only make lines with no sense, and hoping that they can sell it like art, for that reason I preferred the old way like the Renaissance art I think is amazing. Even when I don’t like abstract art, I like a lot the graffiti, and I think is art, maybe not when they just sign their name in a wall, but when the make draw with social critiques I think is art, for example Banky, is a very famous graffiti artist, he make art all around the world with really strong critiques for the system. One of his advantage and what makes him a legend is that he is unknown; no one knows what he looks like.





One of my favourite artist would be Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898 - 1972, he is an amazing artist, he make draws of impossible worlds and figures, a lot of mathematicians are interested in his work, he love to play with the limits of reality, and trick the observer.

Alzheimer


The new that I choose it’s about Alzheimer, and how in England, a new law allowed to give some really effective pills for sick people to a to good price, much more cheapier, this medicine make people with Alzheimer to remember a lot more, but in the new they make emphasis in the characteristic of the medicament, because don’t extend the time of life of the patient just cover the symptom, so even when people can remember things a lot better and for a long time, they die.

I choose this new because I think it’s really important in a psychological way, because the thing that matter is that the quality of life of this people, even when the die at the same time that people who can’t take the medicine, it’s different because their families and important people of their lifes are happier even themselves, because they can remember their name, and their own name and things so minuscule like how to do some tea, can change their life.

Now, the next step is to make this medicine free and, with luck send it all over the world for all the people who are suffering this terrible disease.
