Research paper abstract

The future of human nature

The objective of this bioethics project is to study and analyze the main conflicts that are associated with liberal eugenics, the improvement of the human species. It is a discussion between different points in favor and against the liberal eugenics from five different philosophers, two in favor and three against it. At the end of the project, I reflect on the best arguments and I have drawn where the limits should be in the future.

'Dozens die' in China knife attack at Kunming train station

An attack by knife-wielding men at a train station in Kunming in south-west China, which the reasons of it are unknown by the moment, has left 27 people dead, the state news agency Xinhua says. Moreover, over 100 people have been hurt.



By the moment, there is practically no more information about this news but I want to use it to talk about these strange and eccentric conflicts that appear sometimes. I deduce that this happening has been caused by a type of sect or something like that. In any case, I’m sure that people who have done it are mad people, like these students in United States that go to their college and start to kill people. Of course, all of these are disgraces but they are (or should be) a problem for the governments. What I mean is that, apart from a disgrace for the innocent people, these are conflicts that hide social issues; we can’t think that it is bad luck that exist this mad people, this people exist because something makes them mad and this is what the governments have to discover and try to eliminate it. 

Red Bull hit new testing low as Vettel fails to complete a lap

The Red Bulls has failed one more time this preseason when Vettel’s car has not worked as it was expected. In this occasion, Vettel and his car have not finished the first lap because the Red Bull has stopped four times. When they wanted to get the car on the track another time, the car has broken down before leave the pit lane.




Red Bull’s hegemony seems to be finished after four years of ample victories. We can’t say that Vettel won’t win the championship because this would be reckless and a bit silly, knowing the results of the last years. However, I have the feeling that this season will be more exciting than ever because there are a lot of candidates to the victory, the Ferrari team have improved a lot and the Mercedes are the ones who are responding with the best results in trainings. Moreover, McLaren and Williams are doing good laps too.


The season starts in two weeks in Melbourne, the GP of Australia. By the moment, the situation of Vettel and their team is critical and it will be difficult for them to fix the situation but I have no doubts that they will do it and they will catch the level of the rest of the teams.

Can Internet change the world for the better?

Internet is taking the main role in the evolution of the 21st century. A new era has appeared where Internet has started to be accessible for all population. The question is: can it change our world for the better?

The main conflicts that Internet produces are two: the loss of privacy value and that some information quality is questionable. However, we can only consider valid the first point against it because it is seen that TV and radio information is sometimes censored and manipulated by governments or the economic powers. That's why we can consider Internet more objective, because we can view different points of view, always knowing which sites are reliable. Moreover, Internet allows us to get information that we want where and when we need it, a part from the knowledge that we have in every moment about what is happening around the world.


To conclude, Internet is changing radically the world for the better although the privacy is being secluded of what we consider important.

18 YEARS OLD

It recently was my eighteenth birthday and, of course, was very special for me... at least, the first day of my eighteen. The truth is that I have done practically nothing that I couldn’t do before since my birthday; I only have signed a lot of papers for change my bank accounts.

I know I will see the main advantages in few weeks (I hope) when I get my drive licence. This is what I wish the most at this moment because I am tired of depending of my parents every time that I want to go to a place, especially when we go to party. In these occasions, I expect that I will notice my eighteen too; even more when the rest of my friends are also adult... but, nothing more.



We celebrate days that are equal than the anterior days or the day after. However, the conclusion where I want to arrive is not that we do silly things (that we do); the conclusion of all of this is that we would have to celebrate things more often, never minding the date, because the truth is that we live too stressed and we don’t value things like we would have to do it.

Curling - the new rock 'n' roll after the Sochi Winter Olympics?

The Winter Olympic Games, which have had place the last month, have been quite famous and quite polemical. What refers to sportive activity, a sport practice has featured above the other ones: Curling. Since the Olympics, there have been a lot of curling arrangements around the world to promote this sport and, what is more important, a lot of people have been attracted by it; people who even didn’t know that it exists.


This news has caught my attention because I am one of these people who have discovered the sport during the Olympics and now I think it is very interesting. I don’t mean that I didn’t know that this sport existed, but I knew nothing about the sport; in fact, my prejudices made me think that it was a stupid sport. This is what we often think the ones who practice majority sports like football or basketball. Sport is culture and every sport has got its own values, its difficulties and its personalities. For this reason, I consider really important to know and practice different sports and don’t judge unknown sports too quickly.

US planning full Afghan pullout, Obama tells Karzai

US troops in Afghanistan



All that means a little bit more peace, of course, are good news. What cross through my mind is really different. In my opinion, this important and very valued act is only a way for the United States to clean their own public image in front of the rest of the world. They will need a lot of more gestures and a lot of years of good actions if they want to convince me and a big part of the rest of the world that they have stopped to cause war and big conflicts only to get oil and to make the country richer and richer, which is what they have done since they arrived to America. A lot of people know what USA have done to get oil but most of the people can’t see this because they only see a cool country with cool people that are on the top of the world. I think it is necessary to cure this blind people and make them know what really are United States of America.
