Cambodia and Australia: Treating Refugees as Bargaining Chips

Forty Montagnard asylum seekers have been forced to leave Cambodia and Australia to go to Vietnam last month, without a hearing on their claims for protection. 
In addition, the government made half-hearted denials that it had sent them back, it nevertheless explained its rationale for violating the right not to be returned to face persecution, the most sacrosanct principle of international refugee law. Because Cambodia is “neutral” the spokesman for the Interior Ministry said, “taking refugees from any country…is against the Cambodian constitutional law.”

Dear Mr. President,
We are writing this letter because we saw thousands of abused children in Ethiopia. They were very scared, because some soldiers of the troops of Africa were bitting them until their death. The soldiers used them as bargaining chips between villages, and then close them into a little cages.

We think that now is the moment to act. If you could send some troops in Ethiopia to save them from the death, of the arms of the harm troops of Africa, we will take in the children. 
We need your help in this misfortune, to save a civilisation of unfortunate children.

If you could be indulgent, we will bring up and educate this poor children. 
Please we need your help, do not turn a blind eye.

Thank you for your attention,

#18 Freedom of Thought

Everyone has the right of thought and speak one's mind. Everyone has the right to think, and say what they think. Everyone has the right to manifest their beliefs.
In few cases of manifestations people is pacific. In 2004, 11.400.000 people took to the streets of diferent cities of Spain after the worst attack of the history of Spain, the 11-M (a terrorist attack by ETA).
But in many cases the manifestations are repressed furiously.

Abstract

I have done a research project about body language, and I have studied the non verbal language and after it I have done a research about the meaning of gestures. It allowed me to do an examination of some videos, and it allowed me to discover that some pliticians and celebrities used it to earn the public. Moreover I have done some surveys that helped me to learn that some people think to know what is body language but actually they did not know at all.

Self evaluation

"Body language"

Presentation: I think that my presentation was good and it has leasted long enough. So I think I have an 8/10.

Eye contact: I think that I was so nervous, really nervous, so I think I have a 7/10.

Structure: I think that the structure was pretty well and ordered. I think I have a 9/10.

Content: I think it was good, I've learned new vocabulary. I think I have 8/10.

Language: I think that my language was good, not perfect, but good. I think I have 8/10.

Pronunciation: I think that my pronuntiation is good, I can improve it. I think I have 7/10.

The final mark of my presentation is an 8.

Prenuptial agreements

Are prenuptial agreements good? Should a man and a woman reach an agreement about the rules they will follow in their relationship after getting married?

Some people think that the pernuptial agreements are necessary "just in case", because there are many people that marry another person just because her or his money, so with the pernuptial agreemens money and stuff is safe, it couldn't be stolen with the divorce.

Is it always so?

Some people say that the pernuptial agreements are dangerous too, specially for the persons who didn't work and stay home doing tasks and cleaning, because in many cases, there are a housewife that didn't do anything, and with the pernuptial agreements (in case of divorce) she lose everything, and no one appreciates her work. Moreover there are persons who said that they don't accept the pernuptial agreements in anyway, because they believe that their love will last forever.

In my opinion the two arguments are correct, so I'm for, because in theory it protects you (your money and your stuff), but I'm aigainst too, but only for few cases.

Music

Doing the last post I saw that old music make me happy for the memories that goes with them. Every song is a different memorie, and I love everyone of them because they are parts of my life. It seems like it was 300 years ago, but actually they are only few years, like five years. I had a different periods of music in my life, when I was a child I have listened songs like Asereje, or the "dance of gorilla". Then when I was ten approximately I have listened only radio, because I wasn't very attracted by music. I remember that some years I've done the playback actuation, and I don't know why but the only song I remember is one of "High school musical". When I was 15 years old I listened a little bit of everything as currently.
