Every year that ends brings with itself a new year full of hope and expectations and it's pretty normal to make New Year Resolutions. The problem with these resolutions is that most of the time they can't be made, which tends to ruin our mood for a while. But are these resolutions good or bad?
Setting objectives is always good, no matter what. Having a goal makes you exert yourself and work hard until you reach it. It 's the extra motivation that you need to make an effort and confront things. Also, when you reach your goal you feel really proud of yourself, which is an extraordinary feeling.
However, sometimes we set objectives that are too high or that are too difficult to reach. For example, if you never do any sport it's very unlikely to become and athlete. For this reason, the best thing you can do is to set goals that you can reach, and after reaching them set another goal, this time more difficult. Little steps.
All in all, resolutions are a way of motivate yourself and motivation is always great. But if you dont see yourself making them happen or you think you may fail, better not set them, you dont need to discourage yourself anyway.

Practica
Nowadays most power positions in our world have just a single person in them, wich means that one person rules some of the most important places or enterprises of the world. But it's time to change this situation.
Right now we are living in a moment when the differences between poor people and rich people are very high. Some of the most powerful organizations and enterprises of the world have just one person on its top. This means that this person can rule that place without the help of anyone, which helps to commit abuse or corruption actions.
Sometimes, these people have the advice of a group of subordinates that help them. However, these subordinates were usually employed by the person on top, so most of the time they agree with him.
This situation should have changed by now, as having just one person in power position is not safe. They have lots of responsibilities, but also lots of rights to be corrupt or commit abuse. For example, it is much easier for our president to steal money or made abusive laws than it would be for a group fo people not connected to the government.
For this reason it's time to stop giving the power a single person. Instead, we should rely in groups of several people with different beliefs and different origins.

Practica 3
Nowadays our society is not equal and the differences between being a man or a woman are huge, as sexism is still present. Men have much more privileges than women, because these are expected to be pretty and interested in housework as well as in work while men can be more focused on what they do than how they look. Also, women are much more harassed on the streets.
Against this situation, feminism is the social movement that fights for equality betqeen men and women. It's a movement that has gained followers in the past years but it is very unknown for many others. For this reason, thre should be more talks in schools for kids and teengares in order to educate them and make them aware of this problem. It's very important that we make sure tht girls know they are as valid and important as boys, a value that should be taught by parents and tecahers.
All in all, sexism is still present in our society when it shouldn't. It's time we destroy it and fight for equality. It should concern men and women, youngs and adults, all together destroying the idea of male supremacy. As some adverts said a while ago, 'why would you be the princess when you can build the castle?'

Essay
When we think of sports we always tend to think of football, basketball, tennis, swimming or even golf, but we never think of dancing or ballet. We think ballet is an easy activity that only girls practice, but it's very difficult. For this reason, ballet and every type of dancing should be considered a sport, and not only a hobby for girls.
Firstly, ballet dancers are very strong. They spend most of their time training, in session of five or six hours that they do everyday, which makes a total of around 36 daily hours, more than some others athletes. Also, they follow very strong diets to keep their bodies fit, so they control everything they eat. The thing is, you can't be a ballet dancer if your body is weak.
Ballet dancers also spend months and months doing shows, going on tour around different countries. If you think about it, when they are on tour they do almost everyday shows of two or two and a half hours, plus all the rehearsal they have done before the show. It's not less than four daily hours.
Another point is that ballet dancers do ballet for almost their entire life. They usually start when they are very young, at three or four. If they are successful, they join a company when they are sixteen or so and start their professional careers. Then, they retire when they are thirty-five or more and after that they become teachers and keep active.
To sum up, ballet is rough and difficult. Ballet dancers work very hard in order to be strong and successful while they can, and later they continue doing ballet in other jobs. For this reason, it should be recognised as a sport and not only a thing for girls.

My favourite movies
I'm a huge enthusiastic of movies and cinematographic world and most of the times I have some free time I watch some movie. I like huge productions as much as indie movies, but I really like films that make you think about the plot and about the characters themselves, that talk about feelings and life and the human behaviour. If the film is full of topics or shows situations or reactions non realistic (those romantic comedies where everybody has a happy ending and everything is fine, for example) then I probably won't like the film.
Here I let you a list of my top 10 films and their trailers:
