         <title>What makes me tick: Feminism</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Feminism is about women’s rights. Which isn’t bad, people should be treated equally, but sometimes it just doesn’t work. For example, if you let 10 women build a house or let 10 man build the same house, on average, the house built by men is built faster and better, so, if the job is done better by one or the other, they should get paid more, right? That’s not wrong because if you do something worse you should get paid less. Also most feminists don’t want to be treated totally equally but only want the good things. For example, they need to be paid as much but the men need to pay when they go out for dinner. It’s not like this for everyone, but guys complain about this. Another problem is that there are a few feminists that just totally want to destroy men. They try to make people think men are the worst thing on earth, which apparently is okay because it's feminism but when a man does it it’s discrimination. So, feminism isn’t bad but these people make it seem like it is. To fix this problem there should be a more strict club-like thing for feminists, which has clear rules, made by people who are voted for, for example, like a sort of mini government. Then there’s a way to check if people are following the rules against feminism that is out of control.<br><br></div><div>Why this solution:<br><br></div><div>Because there is probably no other working way to stop some feminists from doing this. So, if there’s a clear rule there won’t be as many problems and probably more people will listen to what they have to say.<br><br></div><div>Why I think this solution is good:<br><br></div><div>Because I came up with the solution myself and I won’t think of a bad solution because why would I write it down then? Other than that, I like the solution because it doesn’t make feminism go away just the bad part of it.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The world is full of bad things, called humans they are the destroyers and makers of the world. When the humans cause the destruction of the world millions of species and hundred of billion animals will die. This is a big disaster, because a lot animals are feritlising plant and helping people to be better.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>The climate accord is the solution for the early stages for the destruction of the world but we have to think about more solutions for other problems because not only is global warming a problem but over population and the extinction of animals species is a problem</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>There are solutions for these problems but they are not great for example, the&nbsp; one child policy in china, this is not a great idea because if we look back just a few months ago you could see big strikes because people disagreed with the government. So we have to creat a solution to reduce the population without a public solution or get people mad. For the extinction of animals species are there some solutions but they are not really helping. There is a website which suggests to eat less meat, buy eco friendly products and spread the awareness. This is great and all but not many people know about this problem.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>I personally think the destruction of the world is a big problem and that it doesn’t get enough attention of people. I connect to this problem because I like how the world is today and I want to keep it so for my kids so they can enjoy the world like I am.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>This is the link of the video where I gathered my information for this composition.</div><div>https://youtu.be/fabiBsQWDTY</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>Everyone knows we have to go to school. Five days a week and an average of thirty-four hours. This is way too much. We have so very little free time. We also only learn the things we learn in school, half of which don't even interest you. You don't even have your own choices in what you want to learn or do. It’s time to change this.<br><br></div><div>In the first place, school takes up far too much of our free time. On average from nine to four to school and then home. It doesn't mean coming home and doing something nice for ourselves, but no. We still have homework or we still have to learn. This will take almost your entire afternoon. Evening meal and sometimes sports afterwards. Sleep and the next day exactly the same. So, there is hardly any free time left to do fun things.<br><br></div><div>In addition,&nbsp; we only learn what school teaches us. With every subject you learn from a book. You learn what is in the book and nothing more, but is this what we want to learn? Isn't it right that we want to learn what's important to ourselves? Moreover being connected with what you want to be when you grow up and what interests you. And in this way, you will develop yourself into what you want.<br><br></div><div>All in all, I think that school takes too much time. Wouldn't it be better if we only had twenty hours of lessons a week. That means roughly from nine to one every day, which means we have our entire afternoon off. What if we are only taught what interests us and if the lessons are not just reading from a book? Doesn't that make school a lot more fun? Anyway, I think this is a good solution.<br><br></div><div>&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>The abortion ban</title>
         <author>sg25819</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/vmna/7f6gti7npkju4whu/wish/1794214865</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong><br></strong><br></div><div>I’m going to write about the abortion ban, because I this is a very important subject to discuss. In some countries there’s a ban against abortion, so if women are pregnant there are supposed to keep it. In some cases women are becoming pregnant unwanted, whether it’s because of the lack of protection, or because they were raped. Women should be in charge of their own body, and decide whether they are going to keep the baby or not.<br><br></div><div>In the first place,&nbsp; the government of countries with an abortion ban are practically deciding over a woman’s body. Women should be able to make that decision on their own. For example, a woman is being raped, and because of that she becomes pregnant. Being raped is a very traumatic experience, and the woman in question, is going to be reminded of that experience every day, if she is forced to keep the baby. Imation how that must feel like for the baby, the baby won’t feel very loved.<br><br></div><div>In addition, some women aren’t able to raise a child, because of a lack of a stable financial state. Is it&nbsp; a good idea to raise a child under that conditions? The child may never go on school trips, and is going to feel left behind.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>I feel like some countries forgot to think about that sides of the ban. I think it’s very sad for the women that there are protests, and that they maybe even have to remove the baby illegally. I don’t think women should feel ashamed to have an abortion, and I feel like abortion should be legal everywhere.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>
<strong><br></strong><br>
</div><div>&nbsp;<br><br>
</div><div>We all have school, it’s a normal thing where we go to every week circa 30 hours. But some kids spent much more hours than 30 at school. Some school schedules are insane. Some kids are at school from 8:15 till 16:45. That’s 8,5 hours. While the most days are 7 hours. That’s something that must be different.&nbsp;<br><br>
</div><div>First of all, if you spent so much time on school, it’s not going to work. Our concentration is later the day gone. So, you can let us sit on school how much hours you want, but we will not take the stuff you tell us in us. So that works for nobody because teachers must tell us again.<br><br>
</div><div>And we must spend to much time on school. Firstly, we sit at school from 9 till mostly 4, then some people must cycle 30 minutes home. When your home you first eat something and do nothing. And then you must do things for school again. That’s your whole day. And most of the kids have a hobby they want to do, and they just don’t have time for that anymore. Where’s our spare time?<br><br>
</div><div>So, my solution is that we spent les time on school, so children have time to do their hobbies and time to relax. So, if we go to school from 9 to 2 then we have enough time to do that. And we can make those times possible if we only have subject that we are interested in. so if we do that is everybody happy.<br><br>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>
<strong>1</strong> Jackbox Games is a game company that focuses on making fun party games for anyone to play, to have fun with their friends. Jackbox Games started in 1995 with their trivia game “You Don’t Know Jack” where high culture and pop culture collide. Nowadays, yearly they release a party pack consisting of 5 party games to play along with friends. Many people who know Jackbox enjoy their games a lot, but it’s been noticed that they’re not as popular as they should be. So hereby, why Jackbox Games should be more popular.</div><div><br></div><div>
<strong>2</strong> In the first place, one great thing about Jackbox Games is their huge variety of party games. All kinds of different word games, drawing games, trivia games, hidden identity games, you name it. And all those games also have their own unique music and art style. By now they’ve got about 40 unique games. With such varieties there must be at least one game you’ll enjoy.</div><div><br></div><div>
<strong>3</strong> In addition, the way you play the games is very accessible. It works as follows: only one person has to buy a party pack, which you can play unlimitedly. Then you start up the party pack you bought and choose what game of the party pack you’d like to play. A 4-letter room code will appear on your screen and you simply visit “jackbox.tv”, type in the room code and you’re ready to play along, no apps required.</div><div><br></div><div>
<strong>4</strong> Thanks to Jackbox Games I’ve created loads of inside jokes with my friends and family. When I discovered that none of my friends knew about Jackbox before, I found it a shame. The people at Jackbox work really hard on these games every year so by making this composition I hope that more people will get to know about this fun company.<br><br>Check it out https://www.jackboxgames.com/</div><div>

         <title>Carmen There need to change something, because now I can never buy my dreamhouse</title>
         <author></author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Nowadays, it’s hard to buy a house if you are young. This is because the prices are high and the offer is low and when finally your dreamhouse is on the market for the good price other people will overbidding the prices with 20.000 or 30.000 euro’s. Not only buying is hard, renting is impossible too. The renting prices are high and sometimes it takes 20 years for you to qualify.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>The first thing why the housing sector needs to change is for people who are going to college. For some people it’s impossible to live at home when they are going to college, because the city where they study can be as much as four hours a day traveling by train. For those people it is important that they can buy or rent a house near their college.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>The second thing why it needs to change is for young people who want to buy a house by themself. Nowadays it is nearly impossible to buy a house if you’re young and you don’t own a house yet. The salaries of younger people are lower then the salaries of elderly people. The interest of savings is low and saving money takes a lot of time while the house prices increases faster.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>A solution can be that you can split houses. When you split properties there can live more people in one building. Another solution could be that old, unoccupied buildings (for example office buildings) are converted into homes. This are some solutions I think could work. But to my opinion everybody agrees with me if I say there need to change something.<br><br>

         <title>Amelie Protecting our world: WWF</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Our nature is being destroyed. Since 1970, the population of fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles has shrunk with 68%. This happened mostly because of climate change, poaching and their habitat being destroyed. All these things were caused by humans. WWF, World Wildlife Fund, is a non-profit organisation who puts nature first. They want to create a world where humans and nature can live peacefully with each other. WWF is active all over the world and they're dedicated to save the world and its animals.<br><br>
</div><div>2.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;In the first place, WWF doesn’t just focus on one thing, they try to protect the whole world. Right now, they’re working on over 3000 projects and 7 Global Goals. For example, one of the global goals being animal species. WWF set as goal to make the following things happen before 2030: Poaching and illegal trade of animals has come to an end and all conflicts between humans and animals have stopped.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>3.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Another Global Goal they’re working on is forests. Together with other organisations, local communities and companies, they try everything to protect forests. By 2030 they want deforestation to be completely stopped. They protect the forests by involving the local people. WWF trains those people to be park rangers, so they can protect their forest themselves.<br><br>
</div><div>4.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Nowadays, climate change is a big deal which affects us all. I think it’s amazing that WWF does everything to protect our world and future. My mom first introduced me to WWF, I see them as the voice of our nature. They stand up for our nature. When I was younger I got their magazine, I learned a lot about animals and I think my love for animals maybe started with them.</div><div>&nbsp;<br><br>

         <title>What makes me tick: The problem of the plastic soup</title>
         <author></author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The oceans are getting more and more polluted every day and that’s a big problem. About 40% of all the plastics that is used is plastic you can only use once, single use plastic (SUP). Every year there are billions of different things involved which end up in the oceans, such as plastic bags, bottles, packaging and containers. An estimated 3% of all plastic produced worldwide ends up in the ocean. Over time, the plastic breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces(microplastics)That means that how longer the plastic is in the sea, how harder it becomes to clean it up. The plastic soup will also kill a lot of animals because they will eat the plastic or get stuck in it. If no action is taken, it is estimated that by 2050 there will be more weight of plastic in the sea than fish. It will also mean a lot for humans because humans eat fish, and if fish eat micro-plastic the plastic will also come in the human food-chain.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Cleaning up the ocean will take a long time. To clean it up there are invented two big arms which will push the plastic all together with the help of the sea currents. Cleaning up the oceans is not enough, it should also be illegal to produce single use plastic because that’s the main polluter of the ocean.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>I personally think that the plastic soup is a very big problem so we need to clean it up as soon as possible. But I think the main problem is that we still use a lot of single use plastic even though we could also use carton or milieu friendly plastic or recycle.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br></div><div>Racism&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Racism is not a new thing, as a matter of fact it has been around for thousands of years.&nbsp;</div><div>However, the amount of discrimination has changed drastically in the past few decades.&nbsp;</div><div>For example the cops in the United States killing a black man just because he is black.&nbsp;</div><div>Or Asians receiving a tremendous amount of hate after the corona pandemic, just for being Asian. Racial equality will never be achieved by a single person or group. It takes a variety of activists, organizations, and approaches to create necessary changes. However, that doesn't mean there's no organizations that are working to support racial equality.&nbsp;</div><div>The National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP).&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>The organization was founded in 1909 in response to the ongoing violence against black people around the country. Its mission is to secure the political, educational, social, and economic rights of black people and to eliminate race-based discrimination.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>In addition, the NAACP played a vital role in the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. One of the organization's biggest victories was the U.S. Supreme Court's 1954 decision in Brown v. Board of Education that outlawed segregation in public schools.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>On top of that, the NAACP is the United States' oldest civil rights organization. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, the association led the black civil rights struggle in fighting injustices such as the denial of voting rights, racial violence, discrimination in employment, and segregated public facilities.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Till this day, racism is still a thing. I've personally experienced a lot of racism which is one of the reasons why I support the NAACP. This is what I concluded after deeply thinking about racism: noone is born racist, I personally think that racism is taught.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br></div><div>1)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div>People might think playing violent videogames can cause aggression or stress, but further research shows that that is not true. Dead by daylight and call of duty are examples of violent videogames. In these games it’s your goal to survive or slaughter/kill other players, so this is a good reason to think violent games make the players aggressive or are bad for your (mental) health. Of course, it is causing the heart to pomp faster, but that doesn’t mean it’s stressful.&nbsp; Controversy about<br>violent videogames surfaced in the 1990s and whether violent videogames lead to aggression is still very debated. There are a lot of studies that show that violent videogames might lead to aggression, but there are also many studies that show the opposite.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>2)&nbsp; &nbsp; 1 e argument</div><div>In this case there are more valid reasons that playing violent videogames is good for various things. In March while the pandemic the videogame sales went up. This shows that playing violent videogames help people through a stressful time like the pandemic. And not only it helps with stress, playing these videogames also helps people connect better with each other, it encourages pro-social behavior. This can help with physical and mental health. Many other cognitive skills are improved by video games, like attentional benefits or improving working memory.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>3)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</div><div>Videogames are also great for distraction, and they are enjoyable. Videogames (even the violent ones) are mood-boosting and have stress-reducing effects. This is because playing the game can distract the player from what’s on the player’s mind. Because you are doing and achieving tasks it can calm down the nervous system unlikely to watching a movie or reading a book. Especially with violent games it is common to have a therapeutic effect, because doing a task that can be aggressive can also be relieving. It can be relieving because it is an act you are not able to do in real live, so you can let out your frustration through the screen. Violent videogames are sometimes used as treatment for mental health issues or disorders.&nbsp; These benefits can seem unreal because the stereotype of gamers is usually intellectually lazy, impulsive, and socially withdrawn. But in order to bee successful in gaming, the gamers must be patient, focused, thoughtful, socially aware, and quick to respond physically and mentally.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>4)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>I personally like playing videogames and I notice when I am playing violent videogames the adrenaline is raising through my body, I really enjoy that feeling. Since I started playing violent videogames, I could tell that I was becoming a lot happier than I was before. I slept better, had more fun doing things and I never struggled with anxiety anymore. I also didn’t become more aggressive than I was before I started playing videogames, so in my opinion are the accusations of increasing aggression not true. My favorite game is Dead by Daylight, and I play it with my friends. I started playing in the pandemic and it even made me more social, gaming really helped me go through that hard time in the lockdown. I would totally recommend gaming to others, and I would say there’s nothing wrong with playing violent videogames.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>During the COVID-19 pandemic, concerns about mental health and suicidal tendencies have grown. In January 2021, 41% of adults reported symptoms of anxiety and/or depressive disorder. Even before the pandemic mental issues were rapidly growing but during the pandemic the issues skyrocketed. This information is really concerning says the NIMH (national institution of mental health) and if we don’t help people in need of care fast the problems will only become bigger.&nbsp;<br><br>
</div><div>The <a href="https://www.nimh.nih.gov/about/director/messages/2020/the-kindness-of-strangers-supporting-each-other-during-covid-19">NIMH</a>, and a lot of other government agencies and organizations have been spreading the message that physical distancing doesn’t mean we must stop supporting one another. In fact, research shows that helping others is a good strategy that can reduce the mental health impacts of the pandemic. We also know that addressing people’s basic needs can help alleviate their psychiatric symptoms. For example, one study showed that food insufficiency was associated with all symptoms of bad mental health, but that association was less for those who received free groceries or meals.&nbsp;<br><br>
</div><div>Now that a lot of covid restrictions are gone. We can start supporting our struggling people even more. Support groups are open, and you can finally go to psychologists again. During the pandemic mental health issues were getting really de stigmatized, which led to people talking more openly about their mental health issues. Now that professionals can work again, we can help them seek real help instead of them needing to rely on the internet for support.&nbsp;<br><br>
</div><div>I personally think that helping someone seek help and doing little things to cheer someone up can really save some people's lives. I saw a lot of struggling people around me who really felt appreciated when a person contacted them to talk. I hope that all the people who felt helpless during the pandemic can finally seek help again.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <title>Composition English   A discovery by nuclear physicists in a laboratory in Berlin, Germany, in 1938 made the first atomic bomb possible, after Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner and Fritz Strassman discovered nuclear fission. That was the beginning of the ending of the world. Because since then, most countries started a race to make the best and most powerful nuclear weapons. What’s mind-blowing is that there is a book called The Orphan of Space  by Reginald Glossop written in 1926 that predicted the race of nuclear weapons. But what most countries didn&#39;t realize is how dangerous it is to make and store nuclear weapons.   Based on the fact that you can create nuclear weapons, spread a new theory about the consequences of each country having nuclear bombs. It was called the Nuclear holocaust. The nuclear holocaust theory presents the consequences of Nuclear weapons. Thereby making wide parts of the earth uninhabitable for mankind due to effects of warfare. Besides the fact that most cities will be wiped out by nuclear blasts, The potential aftermath of a nuclear bomb can involve fire storms, a nuclear winter, widespread radiation sickness from the fallout. And the temporary if not permenantl loss of modern technology due to electromagnetic pulses. Some scholars argue that nuclear war could indirectly cause the extinction of humans via secondary effects.   This is very terrifying because it happened on a smaller scale in Ukrain earlier. Chernobyl. Chernobyl is a very good example of what would happen if a poor country started making nuclear weapons without responsibility. This will result in an inhabitable area even for the wildest and strongest animals.  What also upsets me even more, is that some mighty countries use the excuse of having and developing nuclear weapons to invade them for their own benefits. Such as when America invaded Iraq by order of George Bush claiming that Iraq had nuclear weapons of mass destruction. Later on, turned out there were no weapons of mass destruction and everything George Bush told the world was a lie. Same thing happend in Syria. By invading it with the excuse of “maintaining peace”. Same thing happend to Yemen.  </title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>What makes me tick: Football</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Football is a game which is played by 22 players on a pitch. The target of the game is to get a ball inside of a goal on the side of the field. There are 2 goals and 2 teams of 11 players. The 2 teams have to score a goal in the opponents net to get a point. A match is 90 minutes long and has 2 halves of 45 minutes. There a 11 different positions for players, like a goalkeeper, leftback, 2 centerbacks, rightback, leftmid, centermid, rightmid, leftwing, striker, rightwing. The goalkeeper is allowed to touch the ball with his hands in a square drawn on the field. The other players are not allowed to touch the ball with their hands. There are also rules in football like throw-ins. When the ball goed over the line and leaves the pitch, it becomes a throw-in. The team that touched the ball last before it went over the line does not get the ball but the opposite side can throw the ball inside of the field again.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Football is good because it connects people with each other and you can make friends through it, this helps you develop not only your social skills but also your physical health. Football is a game which costs a lot of energy. That’s why football players train 2-5 times a week depending on what level they play. In this training they focus a lot on their stamina and technical skills with a ball.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Football is very important for me, because it is a lot of fun when I am playing football with my friends. That is why I have been playing for about 10 years and made good friends through it.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Everyone dances once in a while, but not everyone realizes it.&nbsp; People make all kinds of movements, what can be seen as dancing. Dancing can be seen very broadly. It is a sport, social event and art form that usually revolves around movement of the body, often in combination with music. It is used as a form of emotional expression, social interaction or in a spiritual or executive form. But why would anyone actually dance? What’s so good about it?</div><div><br></div><div>A reason to go dancing is because it is very healthy. The body remains fit and young. By dancing, the heart and blood vessels remain more flexible and they can more easily handle efforts. The blood sugar levels are better controlled. In addition, it benefits your lung capacity and improves your condition.</div><div><br></div><div>Another reason to go dancing is that dancing can make a person feel happy and confident. How we move our bodies not only affects how others see us, but also how we see ourselves. While dancing feelings can be expressed. By moving big, taking up space and standing up straight, you feel more powerful and confident. The brain also produces endorphins while dancing, which makes a person feel happier.</div><div><br></div><div>Personally I have been dancing for 6 years now.&nbsp; I find that dancing indeed makes you happy and can express your feelings.&nbsp; When I dance the world around me no longer exists and only the dancing counts.&nbsp; That's why I always feel a lot happier after I dance.&nbsp; So for me a reason to go dancing is because you have a lot of fun and it helps me a lot with my feelings.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Millions of trees are getting cut down every year in countless numbers of locations by humans, this&nbsp;</div><div>harms the environment and the wild animals that live inside of these areas. The most obvious reason for this deforestation is the production of products, this includes: paper, wooden furniture, but it is also used as a fuel for fire. Amazon watch is a non-profit organziation that has been protecting the amazon. This organization was founded in 1996 by Atossa Soltani, Founder and Executive director of Amazon Watch.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>In the first place, Amazon watch has succeeded in protecting the amazon, world’s largest carbon sink which plays a big role in controlling the global climate. They have managed to protect millions of acres of forest by working together with the inhabitants of the amazon rainforest, protecting their rights. In this way, they directly challenge the goverment for threatening the amazon and our climate.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>In addition, Amazon watch has worked together with the inhabitants to think about alternative solutions. The traditional practicing, knowledge and culture all contribute exquisitely for sustainable safeguarding the amazon and our nature. Amazon watch promotes multiple solutions created by the inhabitants such as autonomous solar power and maintaining their authority inside of their ancestors territory.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>I am personally connected to Amazon Watch&nbsp; because i love visiting the most beautiful parts of nature in the world,&nbsp; although I haven’t been to the Amazon forest yet, i believe it has to be included in the list of the most beautiful areas in the world due to the size, animals that live there and of course the inhabitants.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>
