GRAFFITI 14/12/18 12:16 pm As I said the other day, there are many types of art. Graffiti is also one of them. Graffiti is a type of art that is focus on the street art section. Graffiti artist draw in street walls and others abstract and non-abstract paintings Many people are against them for many reasons. One of the reasons is that they draw in public spaces. In that aspect, I think that if an artist want to draw in a public wall, he should ask for it instead of painting it without permission. Another reasons is that some people say their drawings are awful. I don't think in the same way this time; graffiti is a different type of art that maybe don't have many fans, however, there are many drawings that are amazing. In the village next to mine, there are many graffitis in some walls that are really amazing and when I go there by car, I always like to see them. So, I think people should stop judging what other people likes to.  12:21 pm

FIRST AID AND MEDICAL HELP SHOULD BE FREE 13/12/18 9:50 am In some countries, medical services are not allowed to the ones that do not live in their country but first aid. In my opinion, no medial help should be forbidden to a person that really needs it, no matter what nationality they have, all of us have the same rights in all they countries without looking at the law, obviously. Now, talking about our country, there are many surgeries that if you want to heal from a sickness, you will have to pay. I find this disgusting, all the surgeries should be free for everyone that really needs them; obviously, esthetic surgeries are not necessary and I think they should be being paid for it. 10:00 am

Another thing we can do is to use public transport due to many of them are made for not hurt he environment. So, electric vehicles should be a solution to reduce global pollution; however, they should be cheaper. 10:52 pm
