My reflection 19.09.21

Yesterday I was going back home by bus and I saw a situation which was interesting but disappointing at the same time. There were some people who didn't have their masks on. It wasn't anything new to me and normally I wouldn't pay attention to them if not one elderly woman who made a whole speech about wearing masks in public spaces and asked them to put the coverings on. Of course she was right because how else are we supposed to limit the spread of the virus. Sadly most of the people didn't listen to her and they still had their noses uncovered.

That situation made me realize how selfish people are. They only think about themselves and about their own comfort. It's devastating that a huge part of our society doesn't think about the public well-being. But it's not only caring about some strangers on the bus but also about their families, children, friends or parents. Why don't people care about their loved ones? Why doesn't it matter to them if their family is healthy or not?

    And how do you see the situation at our school? Half of the students and many teachers (myself included) don't wear masks in the halls. As far as I am concerned, I just don't see the point in wearing a mask when I mix with the same people in the classrooms later on. But of course, you're right.

My reflection 01.11.21

 A few days ago while I was on my way to school I listened to a very interesting radio broadcast. It was about a new law which the European Union wants to bring into existence. The UE wants to ban short-distance flights. By that they mean flights of less than 500 kilometres. The exception are the distances that cannot be covered by any other means of transport in less than 2.5 hours.  In my opinion that's a good idea because thanks to that we can cut back on  carbon dioxide emission  significantly. However  I don't think that it would work in Poland correctly as we don't have a rail network designed for high speeds. So, for example it would be impossible to travel from Warsaw to Szczecin by train in less than 2.5 hours. Of course in other countries  that have better developed infrastructure bringing this idea into force would be great and maybe it could help save the environment even in a modest way.

Reasons of emigration

Migration has existed since forever. Everything started when tribes searched for new places for hunting, fishery and their livestock. They also migrated  in search of more fertile lands and to create new settlements. But time has changed, the world got more developed and at the same time more complicated. People emigrate for many more reasons than a few centuries ago. The most important and common one is that they are looking for better opportunities. Many people move to bigger cities because they know that there are more workplaces. the second motive is to escape conflict zones. People leave their homeland because they don't feel safe there and they want to escape danger. Another reason is to escape poverty and find higher standards of living. Emigrants try to earn more money abroad and live in better conditions than before. Some people change their place just for fun. They are young and free, they don't have any purpose in life yet so they are looking for some experience and...

Ellis Island

Ellis Island is an island on Huston River between New York and New Jersey. This place took a huge part in history of NYC. It was opened in 1892 as an immigration station. It served for about 60 years and was officially closed in 1954.  In XIX century a lot of Europeans decided to move to America to find better life conditions. They all hoped for better life in the New World. Most of them came to New York because it was the closest American city to Europe. Also there is a huge harbor so they could get there in easier way than for example to Los Angeles.  The statistics show that  about 40 percent of all current U.S. citizens can trace at least one of their ancestors to Ellis Island. For millions of immigrants, Ellis Island  was the first place they set foot on after a long journey by ship from Europe. In XIX century the average daily number of immigrants who arrived there is 1,900.  After their arrival they had to stand in long lines ...
