SPIDERMAN: BRAND NEW DAY

 Who doesn’t enjoy watching, from time to time, a fictional, dramatic and heroic film such as the Spider-Man saga? With its impressive 3D animation and fantastic actors such as Tom Holland, Zendaya and Mark Ruffalo, it is no surprise that the franchise has attracted millions of fans. That is why I would like to talk about the latest movie to be released. What struck me the most was the emotional and psychological aspect of Peter Parker’s struggle to adapt to his new and isolated life, in which nobody knows or loves him. In fact, this difficult situation has even caused physical symptoms, as we can see when Spider-Man is unable to control his web-shooters. Furthermore, the development of Peter and MJ’s relationship was exactly what I expected, as the film shows that MJ loved Peter Parker, rather than Spider-Man. One minor drawback, however, is the lack of fighting and action scenes. Many fans were probably expecting more intense and risky moments in which the hero would have to save...

AI PERSONALIZED HOMEWORK

Currently, the development of artificial intelligence has increased exponentially. As a result, the discussion of how and when it should be used is now on the table. Specifically, when analysing its application to students’ learning, there are two main points to consider: learning outcomes and screen time and wellbeing. One aspect worth considering is that, with the appropriate use of AI, students will have the opportunity to have their questions answered faster than ever before. The need to wait until the next class to clear up any doubts could become a thing of the past. Furthermore, an AI-powered personalised tutor could adapt more quickly to students’ individual needs, thereby facilitating accelerated learning. Conversely, this may contribute to an increase in students’ screen time, causing eye strain and providing more opportunities for distraction, such as answering messages or using social media. To sum up, AI is a powerful tool which, when used properly, can help students achie...

WHAT SHOULD SCHOOL TEACH?

Imagen
  Currently the educational programme is outdated and no longer covers basic needs. With traditional teaching methods young people are not prepared for adulthood. They do not know how to write a CV, find a job, or market themselves effectively. That is why we should start thinking about a change. Observing the contemporary world I realised that soft skills are essential for finding employment  and getting involved in society. Schools should focus on teamwork, preparation of presentations, writing texts, and methods to captivate people's attention. I can confidently say that these lessons will be useful for everyone, to be a good parent, a partner, a boss or an employee. But being an expert in your field and being capable of convincing people and explaining yourself is not enough to achieve a stable adult life. With inflation and the unexpected rapid global changes  we must learn how to manage and increase our savings. In spite of having high incomes, if we do not learn ho...

 MAIN ARGUMENTS AND EXAMPLES - AI can't be an author of art's pieces. Example: the thaler V. Perlmutter case. - AI must be treat as a collaborator and artist may do the curation. Example: Refik Anadol's and Linda Donia's works and 'A single piece of american cheese". - The curators and critics evaluate art, AI pieces with timeless principals as intent narrative and emotional depth. - AI can be more creative than humans. Example: an study reveals that humans rated AI-generated art higher than human's art. -People have more interest in human made imperfections, the how has become as important as the what. - Human's moat are the experiences and fellings. Example: AI can't paint the guernica as picasso but it can use that information to cretae other image. -The ethical dimension. AI'operation is based on scrap millions of images without any permission. That is why the use of AI must be justified. SUMMARY Artificial intelligence is transforming the a...

Nowadays, social media like instagram, facebook and X are part of our lifes, specially young people and teenengers. That´s why we should ask ourselfes, Which is the impact of this invention?

 If you were  the driver of a trolley speeding down the track, and the brakes aren’t working and there’s no way of stopping it. What would you do if on the track up ahead are five workers in the trail eating their sandwiches and they don´t have any chance of get safe? But there is a oportunity of saving them, you can press a level to redirect the train onto a different track, sadly on this track, there is one person who would die. Which would be your decision? Would you redirect the train?  As you are thinking there isn´t a correct answer. For one side you would be an spectator who haven´t partipated in the death of the workers. On the on the other hand, if you press the level, you would have killed a person with your action, but at the same time saved five lifes, but those lives aren´t more valieu than the other one. In spite of the fact that doing an action mentally makes as fell worse, being an spectator make as guilty too, because you had the opportunity of saving the...
