Am I a procrastinator?

I am a procrastinator. I tend to postpone the work I am supposed to do, which is the reason why my plans sometimes fail.

Instead of doing important things, I often watch Netflix or scroll through Instagram and other social medias. Even though, I know that I have so many tasks to do, I almost always waste my time on non-productive, fun things, and then, just before the deadline, I really regret it. It’s not like I don’t have enough time, I just cannot get myself to actually do the work instead of having fun.

Summing up, I am a procrastinator, because I tend to put important things off in time, in order to have instant pleasure.

Climate activists glue themselves to frames of two Goya paintings

Two teenage activists, glued their hands to frames of two Francisco Goya paintings (“The Naked Maja” and “The Clothed Maja”), at the Prado museum, in Madrid. They wrote “+1,5°C” between the two artworks. The museum confirms that luckily none of the paintings were damaged, but the frames do have slight blemishes. Climate crisis is a really important concern in the modern world, but in my opinion, drawing attention to this problem by committing acts of vandalism is just dumb and completely inappropriate. Though the paintings aren’t destroyed, they possibly could’ve been and I think that exposing such important   and valuable art works to the potential damage is certainly not right. Also, I don’t understand why they would ever consider destroying art pieces completely unrelated to the global warming problem. Summing up, though the intentions of the activists are rather good, I think that the way in which they are drawing attention to the problem is completely wrong and inappropriate...

Social conformity

Brain Games is a National Geographic series showing different experiments and explaining how does human brain work. One of the experiments performed is a bit similar to Asch Conformity Experiment and it also shows the power of social conformity. In this experiment, there is shown a group of patients in a waiting room waiting for their eye doctor appointment – all of these people are actors. Every once in a while they hear a beep sound and immediately after that, they stand up. Next, there is shown a  woman who came for her eye doctor appointment and  isn’t aware about the experiment. She enters the waiting room and sees that every time other patients hear the beep they stand up. It took her only three beeps to join the rest and  stand up after hearing the sound. Even though this woman doesn’t understand why other people are doing it, she still does that with them, because she doesen't want to stand out.  After some time, all of other patients (who are actors), ex...

Are stereotypes dangerous?

 Personally, I think that stereotypes, especially wide-reaching are dangerous, because they can cause prejudices and lead to other harmful behaviors such as racism. Stereotypes aren’t always coming from bad intentions, sometimes they simply occur because the lack of knowledge. However, this doesn’t minimalize the harm they create. One of the examples is thinking that all of the African people live in villages and don’t have the access to e.g. running water or electricity. This stereotype is quite damaging to them, because the reality isn’t like that at all. This kind of thinking can cause prejudices and harmful behaviors e. g. patronizing them. Summing up, stereotypes are dangerous, because they create prejudices which often are the cause of very damaging behaviors such us looking down on some people or racism.
