Pressures


As an introduction, I made the following flyer, which attempts to explain the two major types of pressure that are found within the minds of human beings.




Furthermore, I was also asked to answer the following questions:


1. What pressures are you under? I am under the pressure of getting good enough grades to guarantee my further education, with all of school´s demands; I am also under a constant social pressure, because I have to follow a series of social guidelines if I intend to live in society.

2. Is all pressure bad, or can some pressures be good? Some pressures, such as those caused by an incoming deadline, are good for getting things done and get the best of us. Some will never work if there is nothing to be afraid of.

3. In what ways are the pressures on you changing as you get older? The older I get, the more responsabilities I have, therefore the pressures I may be submitted by more pressures. Socialy speaking, every stage of a human´s life is conditioned to different social guidelines.

4. What are the most serious pressures you are feeling? My willings to get my non-scholar projects done.

5. Are most of the pressures you feel internal pressures or external pressures? What’s the difference? I suffer more from internal pressures because I tend to have an active judgement criteria for myself, so I am under constant self-criticism. The difference of this two would be that one is mainly caused by my surroindings while the second ignites in my interior and there is where it develops.

6. Can you think of a time when you felt like you were getting a lot of pressure from others, but it turned out that you were actually putting that pressure on yourself? Since 7th grade I tend to put a lot of pressure on myself for projects, but as previously said, I am aware that the main judge of my actions is myself; so any lately made project could count, but I am conscious about who is causing  the pressure factor.

Nética: ¿Algo necesario?

  La ética , según la define Gustavo Bueno, es el conjunto de normas que tienen por objetivo salvaguardar, fortalecer y preservar la vida de los individuos corpóreos. Así, comportándose homólogamente a la ética pero en el mundo virtual, la nética busca hacer lo propio pero en las redes sociales, convirtiéndose en la base de la netiqueta y en parte de los componentes de la llamada "ciudadanía digital" . La ciudadanía digital, como ya se dijo con anterioridad, es un código de civismo que todo usuario en redes sociales o similares está, al menos teóricamente, obligado a seguir. Así, esta "nética" tiene como objetivo imponer ciertos patrones de conducta para los usuarios de internet, partiendo de los postulados de la moral en turno que son, como ya todos probablemente ya sabremos por experiencia, respeto, tolerancia y cooperatividad . Las obligaciones de un "ciudadano digital" podrían de algún modo resumirse en que todo ciudadano digital respete los der...

Recapitulación y la Sociedad del cansancio

 Haciendo memoria... Durante el pasado mes hemos visto diversos temas, y para recordarlos, he hecho los siguientes dos gráficos:  Sociedad del cansancio En otros temas, hemos en clase, también, revisado los postulados de Byung-Chui Han en su libro La sociedad del cansancio , libro que trata, sobre todo, el rumbo actual de la sociedad y cómo el exceso de emociones e ideas vacías esta derivando en un supuesto cansancio general agudizado por patologías neuronales. El libro se estructura al estilo de La civilización del espectáculo  de Vargas Llosa, teniendo un enfoque, como era de esperarse, principalmente antropológico.  Puesto que se nos pidió extraer un cita que encontrásemos interesante, he aquí la mía: " El Yo tardomoderno, sin embargo (a diferencia de los animales), está totalmente aislado." He escogido este fragmento pues, aunque no lo dice explícitamente, esta frase evidencia con cierta modestia cómo hoy en día, a pesar de estar más conectados que...

The other side of the coin: How honest do conventional advertisements are?

 Snickers, the good advertiser Snickers is a compay that likes aproaching to the client with unconventional ways. While Coca Cola does something similar with feelings, Snickers tries to make their advertisements as "fun" as possible. This is visible with the different publicity campaings that the company has launched throughtout the world, planning unique campaings forevery country, with the purpose of making the announcement as close as possible to each country´s sense of humor.  Snickers is a company that reaches its publicitary goals by talking the least possible about the product itself, centering the attention on the situations where the product intervenes, as if the product had a positivity attribute. The omission over here is obviusly the nonexistant mentions to the product´s elaboartion and ingredients, which would likely be the greatest downside of the product for the general public. The way of fixing these would be launching a campaign about how the product is made,...
