THE ASUNTA CASE

 HOW ARE YOU GUYS?

Last weekend, I started watching a Spanish thriller miniseries on the streaming platform Netflix. It has six episodes and depicts the real-life murder of a Chinese girl named Asunta Fong Yung.


Asunta was adopted by a wealthy Spanish couple, Rosario Porto and Alfonso Basterra, in 2001. As she grew older, it became apparent that Asunta was intellectually gifted; she studied four languages and took ballet, violin, and piano classes.

In early 2013, the couple suddenly divorced due to Porto's affair. However, in June of that year, Porto had a nervous breakdown, and Basterra helped her, leading to them sharing meals at his house. As for Asunta, she continued with her activities until her lifeless body was discovered on September 22, 2013, on the side of the road.

According to the police report, the girl was left at her mother's apartment while Porto went to the family's country house. When she returned at 9:30, she claimed that Asunta had disappeared.

Porto was eventually arrested at Asunta's funeral after camera footage showed her with a girl with long hair sitting beside her, revealing Porto's lie.

Subsequently, forensic scientists tested Asunta's blood and urine and found highly toxic levels of lorazepam. Officials deemed it unlikely that the mother could have committed the murder alone, leading to Basterra's arrest as well.

In 2015, the case went to trial, but the defendants couldn't explain their suspicious behavior.

Ultimately, the girl's parents were sentenced to eighteen years in prison, but in 2020, Porto killed herself while in prison

ONLINE CLASSES VS FACE TO FACE CLASSES

Imagen
In modern times, the educational system has changed. The variety of careers at university has increased, and furthermore, students are able to study remotely because of the development of technology. But is this new way of teaching efficient? Online classes have allowed people to study careers that are not available in the place where they live. Sometimes, because of economic issues, they cannot choose the career of their dreams, but long-distance classes have opened a new door full of possibilities and opportunities. One negative aspect is that, since you don’t meet your classmates in person, making friends and getting to know each other is more challenging. It isn’t impossible, but it will be harder to meet face-to-face. In online classes, you might have classmates from all over the world. On the other hand, in face-to-face classes, you are constantly talking to and meeting new people, so it is easier to create bonds. However, you probably won’t have classmates from other countries. ...

“To what extent does the language we speak shape our perception of the world?

 Having watched a TED talk trying to answer the question "Does language shape our perception of the world?" made me analyse how our brain works and observe that little details make a huge difference. First of all, I must insure that the language is involved with our thought, and, you may be asking, why can I be so assured about it? Here I will give two examples to argument this posture. One explenation is the comparation with an austrialian community called Kook Thaayorre. The society is characterized by a different culture, that is why they have their own language which for example, instead of using the words right and left to get oriented, they aply another vocabulary that it is based on the use of cardanial directions. This way provide a better orientation and have the ability of get located oneself in a space. Another example is the russians, in this language they name blue and light blue differnt, that makes them categorize this colours easier than english people, becaus...
