NEW TECHNOLOGIES


In my opinion the new technologies are very important developments. it's becoming much easier to find information of any kind in much less time.

But this subject I have taken out has many pros and cons:

-For me, for example, the speed of the internet and all it's supplements are very positive bacause work for school or comunicate whit friends.
Social networks in my opinion are a great invention bacause you can comunicate with friends easly and quickly, and more types of network if you wants to know more new people.

-But this topic i do not like being lost, everthing that went before, the most obvius example are the books... every time people buy fewer books that you may download them as with the music that more and more internet piracy.
I don't like who instead of going down the street to play, choose to say at home chatting whit friends or talking on a social network.
I don't like the uncertainly in the internet. It is very easy to get ripped off online because they are not face to face.

In sumary: On the one hand I think it's great speed and a good technological progress, since it is much easier to communicate and work. But, on the other hand I don't like the insecurity that is has.

Detection is achieved that the common denominator in these tribes is the failure and social exclusion. The member of these gangs maintains an attitude of rebelliousness (violent or otherwise) to society, which they describe as hypocritical and nonsensical. Rebels all set to hate and governed by rules and traditions.

The contemporary or modern dance

A style designed to express the feelings. As well as the feelings change, contemporary dancers must change constantly. It is important to individualism, abstraction and delivery to the art. The dancers have little in common apart from the rejection of the existing traditions and the desire to revisit the fundamental principles of dance as a means of communication. There are currently two techniques: The Graham, and Cunningham, but contemporary dancers tend to stir.
differences between ballet and contemporary dance:

Ballet

1 .- The forms are always graceful and beautiful.
2 .- The body needs to have a particular way and since children are working on that.
3 .- The work is moving and high jumps.
4 .- The basic steps are rigidly defined
5 .- The choreography follows a history and has several characters.
6 .- It dances with clothes and special shoes.
7 .- In the pas de deux, the man burden to women in ways defined.

Contemporary dance

1 .- The forms show how beautiful and the ugly of life
2 .- The body can weigh or measure anything while this strong and flexible.
3 .- It works on the ground and falls.
4 .- There are many styles of steps
5 .- The coregografía is based on ideas and feelings
6 .- It dances with the clothes they may be. Usually they dance barefoot.
7 .- The man burden to women in unusual ways. Even women's burden to man

History

The origins of the movement date from the late nineteenth century when four dancers felt too many restrictions on the ballet to express themselves. Americans Loie Fuller and Isadora Duncan influenced a lot in Europe while the Europeans Rudolf von Laban and Mary Wigman marked to the Americans. Fuller work in transforming his body in a flower or a butterfly. She blew the ability of new technologies, to dance in a cloud of silk illuminated by the new electrical systems theatrical lighting. Duncan used the ideals of ancient Greek art to inspire more natural forms of dance. Duncan used the human body as an instrument of emotional expression

GUILLERMO OF OCKHAM



"God can do all that, to be done, does not contradict"




William of Ockham Arguably Ockham is a philosopher quite original, although many of the themes that will deal had been initiated by Duns Scotus, and others (particularly the logic of the thirteenth century). Ockham developed themes that characterized the concerns of the intellectuals of his time and represents a turning point in the history of scholastic thinking.


ckham is not a systematic thinker as it were, Thomas Aquino, her role is essentially that of a critic.


His criticism will produce the independence of philosophy that will begin to focus on other issues such as Nature.


The principles addressed by Ockham fudamentales are regarded himself as "Aristotle", however, pose in practice, a clear break with the Greek tradition and scholastic earlier.


In fact, represent an innovation in the history of philosophy.
