    About black friday and consumerist culture Late november holidays are not only to spend quality family time, nowadays they have become into the perfect time of the year to spend money in the "Black Days", seizing the opportunity to grab different kind of goods with special discounts. This time of the year is one of the most sincere examples of what consumerism culture does with irresponsible consumers, proving all its dark mechanisms to disguise gadgets, clothing or even householding items into basic needs. Additionally, retailers take advantage of its customers using time restraints that creates also a sense of urgency to force or coerce sometimes a sell. Let's consider the case of mobile phone consumers with a humble income that purchase the latest cellphone just to fulfil a façade of luxury: having been able to have been buying a low or mid range priced smartphone, he end up getting a high priced phone because it was 50% off the regular price, but paying in instalments for two years without considering the interest on arrears. It's also common to see people sleeping outside malls, spending valuable time waiting in long lines to get discounts in their purchase. Hence, being able to be doing a productive activity or having a good time with family or friends, people prefer to nourish their shopping desire. Sadly, being able to be promoting a reasonable use of money, role models in our society tends to encourage the consumerist culture during this time of the year. Moreover, having been able to be traveling around and collecting unforgettable memories, people prefer to spend money in disposable items, which in my opinión is not only unsustainable but unreasonable.

    000. 30-Day Writing Challenge - Some thoughts about human desire Human beings always want something more from what they have simply because they are subjects of desire, which for me it's not as bad as sometimes is perceived (e.i. consumerism desire). Therefore, this question can be approached from two main perspectives: people who uses their desire-motivation as an enhancer to achieve their personal goals, and on the contrary, people that suffer from frustration because of what the have now is just not enough and therefore, their enjoyment of life is somehow postponed until some future event or opportunity became available. In my opinion, desire is an incredible tool to be motivated and to act in an efficient and organized way. It gives a purpose to behave in different manners in order to accomplish personal objectives, as in the case of people who wake up early in the morning to get the work done, or maybe that start eating clean food because they want to lose some weight. However, acting by desire has its risks because its its interpretation of the present being as a "hard pathway to follow in order to achieve a long-awaited future", which also implies two very arguable ideas: first, that our present is suboptimal than expected, and second, that our future is going to be mavelouse if we act or follow a certain way. Nevertheless, none of these assumptions must be taken as a norm or dogma, because what we have now it's simply what we need (you get what you need, as The Rolling Stone says), and on the other hand, nobody has its future assured or guarantee, our present is a gift and our future is a mystery, so in my opinion it's reasonable to seize the momentum that results from desire in order to attain some personal development, but without forgetting that life is a long race with its ups and downs.

    Good job mate, very interesting. 


    La situación de la marihuana en Brasil

    Se espera que el (la) cannabis en Brasil sea legalizado (legalizada) tarde o temprano, conforme la tendencia mundial. Por el momento, la hierba mantiene su status ilegal salvo que su uso sea con fines medicinales  Sin embargo, la hierba sigue totalmente ilegal en el país por el momiento, aunque para fines medicinales. Actualmente, si necesitas (necessitas) de la hierba para tratar (tratarse de) una enfermedad,  tendrás (tendrá) que acudir a las instancias judiciales para obtener autorización (al tribunal para que lo haga).
    Ya hay algunas personas en Brasil que han ganado el derecho de utilizar (utilizarse de) la droga para tratar (tratarse de) enfermedades como por ejemplo, los ataques convulsivos - en contra de la cual la marihuana ya ha probada ser especialmente efectiva.,  particularmente se han demostrado grandes beneficios de la marihuana en este tipo de pacientes.   Sin embargo, la gente todavía lo considera una impone barreras injustificadas a aquellos que la necesitan, ya que el procedimiento (se) puede resultar burocrático y no hay como garantizar que el juez va a atender (a su demanda) las demandas particulares
    Aquellos que consumen la droga (para) con fines recreativos no pueden ser demandados por eso, ya que nuestra (nuesta) ley considera al (el) usuario una persona enferma que no necesita (debe) ser arrestada, sino tratada.
    A pesar de nuestra ley considerar un crimen plantar y vender la hierba, sigue siendo muy fácil comprar la droga de los traficantes. Hay muchos usuarios en el país y a nadie realmente le importa eso, y esa es una de las razones por las (pelas) cuales los activistas dicen que no tiene sentido (sentindo) no legalizar la droga en Brasil mantener la política antidroga en Brasil.
    A pesar de los esfuerzos de los activistas para legalizar a la hierba en Brasil, la elección del ultraderechista Jair Bolsonaro en conjunto con la elección de muchos diputados y senadores conservadores tiende a atrasar la legalización de la droga en el país.
