POST 7: "Politics"

Is democratic an obligatory voting system? 

I think voting shouldn't be obligatory.
First, not everyone is capable of voting, and I mean that we must have a feeling with politics and have conscience of what repercussions will have our vote. And nowadays that isn't too present in our society, great part of the people just votes because it is obligatory and don't care about their participation in this kind of process. That is antidemocratic, we have let the people decide if they want to vote or not, it is better that people that don´t want to vote, simply don´t do it. we shouldn't be obligated to do anything. 
In addition, the political factions don´t care about giving adequate and sufficient information for us to vote consciously  and well informed. How many people didn't know the new constitution document that was proposed for changing the current one? However, they were forced to vote and choose something blindly.
Voting wouldn't be obligatory, people who don't vote just because they don't want to wake up and voting makes them lazy, they just shouldn't have the right to claim after.

    Hi Emilio, I agree that voting should't be compulsory, however, I think the real problem is in the little civic education we receive.

    Hi Emilio, I think the mandatory voting system is because no one feels represented by these public figures anymore and that is one of the reasons why no one wants to vote, there is no credibility anymore.

    Hi Emilio! It´s very interesting your analysis on compulsory voting, I also believe that voting should not be compulsory, because each person is free to decide. I think people should vote on their own initiative.

POST 10: "Education"

Hello! I hope you're having a good day. Today I will write about the relevance of a teacher/educator when studying a subject.  The way in which an educator can influence the perception of students about a topic is fundamental, since it will depend on how they teach their subject on how their students will receive it. A teacher can change the perception of a student regarding the subject he teaches, and how? they will wonder; teaching it in innovative ways, with energy and passion, loving his work. And I can say this because specifically it is me who this happened to. I have never been a follower of history in general, much less of books or literature, my forte was always mathematics and numbers. Currently I have a teacher, who has changed something in me, her way of teaching and telling us the story is incredible, awakening in me an investigative part that I did not know, makes me want to learn more and more and I find extra motivation in each class. I consider it essential t...

ArchDaily is an architecture website which shows a large kind of projects around the world. It has a lot of categories where we can find some interesting things, like architecture competitions, publications, events, interviews with actual exponents of it and a lot of articles so interesting to read.  I visit it every day in my free time, I maintain opened my account on my computer, and it is so easy to get into it when I am using it.
