This blog was created as a teaching source for my students in 2008 and it became their blog as I posted their own contributions to it. It is always in the making and it'll belong to all my new and old students for them to improve it, use it and enjoy it; as well as for all the EOI students who might wish to visit it. Look out for the entries referred to radio programmes and websites for learning English, I'll always keep them there for your use and enjoyment.
Hi all,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great video about what consumerism and capitalism implies in nowadays society, where there are so many chances to do things better. I can remember seeing this video almost ten years ago when it came out and starting to become aware about which kind of unfair and self-destructive economic system we do have. In case you are interested in alternative (and in my opinion totally feasible, not utopian) economic models you can see the awesome set of documentaries named "Zeitgeist" and "Venus Project". I encourage you to search about Jacque Fresco too (who is a truly amazing man in so many senses).
Here you have a link to my favourite reflection from Jacque Fresco so as you can see the kind of man he is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqOynLFfqsM

Hope you all find it interesting.
Thanks for sharing, Elena!
Thanks for your comments and your tips, Rubén. I'll try to check out those sites. I'll post that on a forum in our Moodle project.
