Social media and interpersonal relationships

There is no doubt that social media has a great impact on people's lives, nevertheless many people feel that the impact they have on human relationships is negative. Eventhough in some cases this is true, most of the time it is the other way around.
Generally speaking social media is a great way to connect with others, since you are constantly socializing with people, that is why it is called 'social' media; it simplifys the task of meeting and getting to know other individuals. Furthermore it makes possible to connect with diferent people from all arround the world; therefore is an excellent way of learning about other cultures and daily manners opening our minds in addition of making us accept other diferences and reducing prejudice.
Others may feel that it has a negative impact, since sometimes, not so offten people may critisize or insult others, through this media, which in an extreme case might lead to cyberbulling. Moreover in some ocations people use social media to stock and obtain information about people with which stockers can use against you.
For my point of view social media is an amazing way of relating with people you do not know, and from other countries; as long as you use it consiously, respect the others and be carefull that you do not  publish anything that can be used against you, you will find social media very entretaining and useful.

TED talk that can change the world

Greta Thunberg is a 16 year old teenager, from Sweden, who movilised the world with her TED talk about enviromental problems, how humans caused global warming and its impacto on earth.
Greta is red haired and has fair, frekled skinn, she is slim and has a round face, quite an ordinary teenage girl, nevertheless, she was very direct and frank, she went directly to the point and didn't rambled at all. The subject of the speech is complexand she knows a lot about it, therefore we can asume that she is very bright.She showd a serious and determined profile; although Greta said she was a rather unsociable person, she seemed relax when delivering the talk in front of all those people.
The talk was very persuasive and interesting. Greta was very fluent and articulated, though quite static. It had a varied and complex vocabulary, furthermore she was very coherent.
I highly recommend this talk, it is very informative and interesting it leaves you with lots of interogants, concerns and desire to keep investigating about the subject; it is definetly a video everybody must watch.
