Dinnerware Sustainability

life with a business orientation and beliefs

The "large format" read the report "It is better to cry in a Ferrari," of candidates on the interdisciplinary study of economic and managerial (MSEM at UW). Moving

, so that those dziewiętnastolatkowie meticulously plan their future - even if unrealistically, with a huge urge to cash and the desire for prestige symbols. They know what you want to achieve - you have a luxury car when you work for 10 000, when the family - and the choice of study is part of their plan.

Moving is not for me, as the greatest emphasis is the author of reportage Sylvia Swede, that is, their focus on money, but just This planning. Because this approach is very, very different from what guided me in choosing my studies (or indeed inter-).
surprised when talking to humanists. They are like from another planet. They can not understand that humanists do not plan what the studios that do not care that they were going to the element.
That's right: me, humanist, not planned, at the college. Although it was not because he did not care. On the contrary - for my grudging attitude towards planning 'somehow it will "become convinced that it does not.

These people chose their studies, not only because they "have to live with dignity" (read: not imagine life without much money), but also because the "economics is the study of money and how they manage the world." Not only for pragmatic reasons, but also cognitive. Harm is to show them as people who were out of cash, no interest. Because they believe that if we teach economics, you understand the mechanisms governing the world. And this is something that the MSEM-sheep have in common: I believe that it is, what I'm learning (culture) is governed world and we understand these mechanisms. :-)

A focus on money, which Sylvia Swede in condemning these people? Well. I do not dare to throw a stone at the MSEM-men, because it seems to me that it was attaching so much importance to money feature of our culture :-). Postmaterialnego culture of capitalism, in which we all live, including Sylvia Swede.

U Edwin Bendyk read this brief history of consumption. Once the driving wheel of the Protestant ethic of capitalism, was: to work diligently, live modestly, to collect. But it resulted in being contented with little The Great Depression. They began to stimulate the economy so by appealing not to the needs that can easily be met, but the intangible desire. Today

consumption in developed countries focuses on goods, which - although they are more or less mainstream products - are entered for the ads in the mythical plan, so a quasi-religious. Buying a product, buy a promise of happiness, contentment, of being unique, being oneself or something related to our identity, or welfare, which is something other than wealth. Such mixing of the world products and the meaning of life refers the query "better to cry in a Ferrari." Apparently it is the distance MSEM ad-men to the myth. Except that, even though they know that Ferrari does not give you happiness, it really can not deconstruct postmaterialistycznego capitalist belief that the order of material has something to do with the order of emotions. That weeping and Ferrari have somehow to each other.

But a horse with a row and undying Respect for the man who knows his identity and unmistakably distinguish between their consumption.

Tracker Party Hut Canvas

is a private matter. To what extent?

On Saturday Marszalkowska EuroPride parade passed. Without the support of the president of the city, without money from the city and from sponsors. Almost complete absence of the latter is proof of the existence of a displacement of sexual minorities. So no beer brand, any bank or mobile phones do not want to be associated with the parade. Even at the lowest level of evolution of marketing, where advertising products stopped at the stage nabazgranego "promotion" on the plywood (this is a quote from Sylvia Chutnik) you will see the reluctance to EuroPride. With the exception of one person selling wuwuzele a wheelchair, there was no sales of sausages, hot dogs, cotton candy or - what is most acute in trzydziestokilkustopniowym heat when it goes up at noon means Marszalkowska - cold drinks. It is striking, because three months ago, I saw the seller of candles arrived at the Krakow suburb within a few hours after an absolutely unexpected breakdown of the Tupolev. Could it be this time - although there was more time - this is grassroots entrepreneurship spraraliżował fear?

Well, I already know my views on equality parade. Yes, I think the topic is important and legitimate demands of LGBT communities in the name of his views I fried up on a Saturday in the city center. Perhaps I should not move this topic, as well as the subjects did not move the election or grief (at the time of mourning). Because these are such things that everyone already has crystallized his private opinion, which they write all the columnists in all the newspapers, which have not been talking at the table. For what? And so everyone knows her. Only you can end up arguing.

Speaking on private matters is not constructive? Sometimes it is not. Sometimes there is nothing to try to convince their relatives in their arguments, my own opinion is enough - and should - go for the elections to express or at the parade.

And if the parade itself is constructive? After all, is a public statement about the sexual preferences, so very private. I met up with the anti-reaching arguments paradowymi to do just that savoir-vivre'owego beliefs about private matters that do not speak publicly. It was something like, "what do I care that they are gay. And let them be. Do I inform the entire city about your sexual orientation?".

I think that in this case it would be unconstructive niemówienie. There is a difference between nieporuszaniem difficult topics at the family dinner, which lasts two hours and nieporuszaniem difficult subject for life in the name of public peace. In the latter case, better to pull out of the urban area of \u200b\u200bwhat is private. Because only then can go to revise social beliefs about what is in the comfort of home is right and what is not. Although the theme of the parade is privacy, a belief about it are formed on a social level, in the process of socialization, and, therefore, discussed and can be corrected only in the public agora.

begs me to associate with domestic violence. Once people thought that if a parent beats a child, do not get it intrude - it's a private family matter. But thanks to this prawatnej removing the case to the public space, even though the social campaigns, this has changed (to the despair ultraprawicy). So we had to deal with the shift of the border in his private life: beating was once considered something of the order, now is considered bad. Environment LGBTQ, pulling his case to light, they want to achieve a change in the opposite direction: that the homosexual relationship, which is regarded today as bad or worse, at least, began to be perceived as something good.

Sorority Induction What To Wear

hot summer on the plot

long time since I looked, and lower than for you and even to themselves, more free time while working on the plot occupied ...
The downpours caused that everything was growing rapidly, not followed in mowing grass, weeding, trimming hedges ...
Now the heat is not merciful, the grass is burned, all much faster overblown. Mosquitoes bite
not giving the evenings quietly watered my beloved garden.
But anyway I love this summer that rapid strides in a hurry to pass away ...
gather crops of currants, gooseberries, go to the berries. Arise from the collections of delicious homemade jams ... a heat kinda makes my pool.
few photos from the plot, these past and present:

Built A Desk Blue Print

"Least Modern Museums" What

came out just a new "Notes for 6 Weeks" , and the funny little museum guide (or rather the relation of escapades to them), namely Mary Agnes article "Least Modern Museum of Warsaw." Cool idea for summer afternoon in the city - go to a small museum in the old style, such as it is visited only by a class trip. Remember why the word "museum" a little bad we associate. But we find in dusty collections of fascinating, bizarre objects, or exposures that resemble the school newspaper, rather than that to which we have become accustomed in modern museums of modern art.

Now a handful of objections. The idea is the brainchild of Agnes Mary zblazowanych good for intellectuals. It is a little bit - especially in a witty style of relationship - condescension in relation to the collection taken naively. Much of the nostalgia for a childhood in which the output of such a museum was a highlight - because there were no lessons, because the museum in a boring but always went on a slight thrill of fear aroused a wax figure in the corner.

Despite these concerns the project I like. Seeing the museum other than those meeting broadens the horizons of contemporary standards, that is, for example, lets remember that the modern museum has its roots in the collection of surreal objects. I like it because - despite everything - not just jaded patrons of modern art galleries and museums, enjoy the visit to the "naive" museum of weights and measures. Is not it strange train to the list made it to the Technical Museum Palace of Culture at the New Museum this year was the longest queue?
