Change the world:

"STOP the contacts announcements in the daily"
https://www.change.org/es/peticiones/stop-a-los-anuncios-de-contactos-en-los-peri%C3%B3dicos-en-espa%C3%B1a

I chose this complaint since I thought about it since I have the use of reason.
Why inciting prostitution in the newspapers?
I when I was little picked the newspaper to look at the photographs, and I was always finding the sexual content in listings of contacts.
Is this good for the young people? Is this good for the woman rights?

The company preaches that more equality between man and woman, there is but even so, the contacts announcements are still preserved in the newspapers,
in an indirect way to promote this type of business which consists of selling your body.

YOUR-SAY(3): 100 WORLD KISSES

100 WORLD KISSES:
The project is called 100 kisses world and it was devised by Ignacio Lehmann, a
photographer who had the idea of taking pictures to people kissing in different parts
of the world.


It is curious to observe different people from different countries ( kisses passionate,
tender kisses, fiery kisses, friendly kisses,...)
Ignacio still doesn't know because he decided to do this project, and indeed neither I myself
I can find few words to find an answer, but it's just beautiful.


It is beautiful to see the samples of people love, and is at the same time curious and
funny.

YOUR-SAY(2):We are Olympe de Gouges daughters

Olympe de Gouges, woman rights and french revolution:


Olympe de Gouges was a writer, pamphleteer and a politic of France during
the time of the French Revolution.
This daring woman intended to draw attention to issues taboo in her time, being very criticized by society.
One of her works portrayed the condition of black slaves; Olympe was imprisoned in the Bastille because in the Court of Versailles, the noble families used slaves to enrich themselves.
Fortunately Olympe was released because of the help of her friends.

Even so, Olympe continued their tireless struggle against the injustices of
the time and with the French revolution in 1791 wrote "The Declaration of the
Rights of women and the Citizen".


Her works were feminists and revolutionaries, defending equality between
the man and woman both in life publishes private.
She also made approaches about the removal of the marriage and the establishment
of the divorce. She wanted to create national workshops for the unemployed and households for the beggars.

She defended the Girondists, supporters of a federal State, and this led her to death.
She was in court on 2 November 1793, and finally climbed the gallows with value and
dignity on November 3.

She was a woman who never be surrendered despite adversities.
One of the mothers of feminism, and one of the mothers of ourselves.
One of the many women that fought for equality and for the respect for women.

She said in one of her writings:

"Women have the right to mount the scaffold; they should likewise have the right to mount the rostrum."

Painting pain (Frida Kahlo)

Frida Kahlo, the human essence painting pain:
 
One of the women who inspire me. One of the women that I most admire.
People laught when I say that I really admire her, because they only look at appearances, and believe that admire is equivalent to appreciate its beauty.
And in some way, they are right: I admire also her beauty because is the reflex of her personality.
Frida Kahlo is a liberal woman both thoughts and sexuality, intelligent and perceptive, symbolic all of her, and  painfully strong.
I say painfully because she transmits her strengh transforming in a very singular way the pain she feels inside.
There is sadness and pain in their strength, but it's strength at the end. And a very powerful strengh by this fact.
She was a woman advanced in her time, a liberal but at the same time a chained.
One chained that felt free and feeling free is the truth freedom instead.

Her art is full of symbolism that reflect his coatidian life, her thoughts and her ideology.
 
Criticized but admired at the same time, Frida Kahlo is an example for me,
both artistically and as her attitude towards life.
 

Keny Arkana and the truth of nowadays




It's a pity that I don't find the video with english subtitles and also the same video (because I considere that the video is excellent)

You have only to listen to Keny Arkana words and watch the video.

That's all.
(It's for this reason that I don't considere it a your-say or a news)
It's a good song to introduce the third term topic: HUMAN RIGHTS.



Hope you like.

YOUR-SAY(1):My story with the supposed revolutionary Che Guevara

My Story with the supposed revolutionary Che Guevara:Although Che Guevara is an extremely famous character, I never really got into know about him.
And recently,
I felt the obligation to read about him.

One day while leaving classes, I saw a guy of first ESO wearing a t-shirt with Che Guevara's face on it.
And I start to think: Would he know what Che Guevara represents? Would he know that he's wearing a t-shirt with the face of a person that represents a way of seeing the world, and ideology, a thinking?
And then, I realized that I couldn't think that if neither I really knew who was che guevara: I I knew that was an argentine communist who fought to make his country a place not habited by the rich that make tax havens while the poor were starving to death; but I was interested to know more about him.
Is he considerated a revolutionary? Or is he made of marketing?

I started with the most easy way: look for information on internet. And I realize that was the choice more complicated.
There was a lot of sites on internet: I started to find information on the Wikipedia but I couldn't find the type of information that I was looking for. I wasn't looking for information about what he had done, because of that I've already reported before.
I was looking about his personality, his values, his real ideology, his thinkings. Because you can do acts to avail and to have a certain image, but then having very different thoughts (I was thinking in Manuel Fraga, that start to do democratic things for our country when he had franquist thinkings)

I realized that was a lot of debates relacionated with Che Guevara: Some people sayed that Che was a revolutionary that pretend to do good things to his country that he loved to much; and some other people sayed that Che was a killer because he must to kill a lot of people to make possible a country like he wanted.

I start to felt a pain inside of me when I knew that Che Guevara killed so many people, and I started to doubt.
I thought he really was a revolutionary, but then the opinions that was a killer mingled in my arguments.

And I thought that would be a good idea to ask to known people.
My mother told me all the story with all the tints of it. He believed in his ideals, and he was in favour of the country people and not of the upper class.
Logically, he wasn't alone in this mission. He was with Fidel Castro and other revolutionaries that thinked that they must do a Communist Government better for the country and that's all.

But, Che Guevara hoped to change other South American countries, he wanted to expand his ideals so that there are no more oppressed countries. And that was his fail; or his most courageous act that marked by the history of mankind.
They killed him because he tried to go too far.
Surely the murderers were the Americans, who couldn't tolerate this man to do the same in other countries controlled by them.

Surely that they put him a limit. And he didn't understand of limits. The limits weren't in his ideology. There was no limits for him. There was only Che Guevara and his ideals.
And he died, but not his ideals.

Finally, I understood the story; but I was thinking of the word "Killer". Even.

And I tried to talk to my father.

My father's family were republicans. The father of my grandfather was the mayor of a town in andalusia and put him in prison for being republican in the Franco era and the civil war. Then, my grandfather with ten or eleven years, hid in a cave for years, along with the "maquis".
My grandfather given a day to my father a keychain with the face of Che.
And I thought that would be a good idea to talk to my father.

He sayed to me that is so difficult to make a revolutionary act without kill people, and Che was not a exception.
He explained to me the same as my mother, and then I ask to him:
"But, he was really a revolutionary? Or he was a farce?"
My father is not religious, and in fact has a hatred of everything related to Catholicism and the Catholic Church, but he told to me that Che Guevara was like Jesus Christ. And I understood what he mean.
If we have in mind that Jesus was a simple man with revolutionary ideals in his time and not a superior man with divine powers (as it made us believe the Church), we can compare him to Che Guevara.
He wanted to convey his ideals of respect and tolerance to the people. Until the powerful men who saw that their ideology was growing popularity not interested them, and they killed him.

He was a man. A simply man. Like Che Guevara.
With his defects, and his peculiarities, and his good things. But a man, after all.

So, with the pass of the time, the figure of Jesus was covered by a multitude of fabrics full of lies and superstition:
they started to say that he not respected women, that he wanted us to gave wealth to the Church, that we had to think like him, that he could heal the sick and he could restore the sight to a blind.
To attract the attention of the crowd, they invented these atrocities, because a simply man is not interessant.

They do the same with Che Guevara.
Fidel Castro created the idealized image of che guevara as a Messiah because in this way fidel castro were benefiting from that (marketing, the image of the country, the myth,...)

But after all, Che Guevara was another man that wanted to change the world. And that failed in the appearance,
but he triumph inside:
He inspired and he will inspire "simple men" with revolutionary thoughts that will leave their grain of sand in the history of humanity.


And this, for me, is revolutionary.
The true revolution.
