In 2006, James Risen, a reporter for the New York Times, wrote the book State of War, which holds that the National Security Agency US (NSA, for its acronym in English) was intervening telephone calls of citizens. The US government demanded that Risen testify against one of his alleged sources. However, the First Amendment to the Constitution protects the right of journalists to publish classified information, whether it is in the public interest. Risen refused to testify. In 2015, the government stopped demanding Risen to testify. Prosecutors had illegally obtained the records of your phone and email as well as information on their bank accounts and travel, which used to convict Jeffrey Sterling, the alleged CIA informant Risen. "We run the risk that the press can not do the job that the First Amendment is supposed to protect because of the large volume of government spy." "Governments around the world are constantly developing new techniques of espionage that put us all at risk ". As government surveillance progresses, the media can not perform checks and balances under the protection of the First Amendment. However, there has been a strong surveillance technology, which allows journalists to protect their anonymous sources; for example, securedrop, a platform of open source software, which allows people to upload documents securely and anonymously to the website of a newspaper way. Unfortunately, technology monitoring governments around the world is getting more advanced time.Society needs to create simple tools for reporting, for anyone-not just technology experts like Edward Snowden- can expose abuse within a company or society feasible and safe manner. In the background, the First Amendment does not protect the rights of informants, but also those of all US citizens. https://www.ted.com/talks/trevor_timm_how_free_is_our_freedom_of_the_press?language=es Lluis Baldirà

Dance is a language and a social dance is an expression from a community. Bop stile is an African - American stile and an important tradition; with grow up to much quickly. The speaker commented that the present always contains the past, and the past said who we are and who we will be are. This sentence it is really important, because it’s important to remember the history of the black people. For this reason we need to do and practice ours traditions, to remember whom we are. Cakewalk it’s inside the Bop stile, it was a performance. Charleston it is a variety of this stile of music, was very important and polemic in 1923. In the more casual social group context, individual dancers may choose to dance "alone", improvising in response to the music or copying dancers around them. Secondly, the Bee´s knees, is a stile that needs to move the legs. Continuously started the twist, that was a famous movement, who did everyone.

10 ways to have a better conversation (Maria Ticó)

The speaker, Celeste Headlee, makes the audience realize that we live in a world where conversation is very important because nowadays they can develop into an argument and have both sides fighting.

In fact, a study proves that at this moment, people are more divided than we have ever been in history due to different causes: firstly, we don't listen to each other; secondly, we tend to make decisions based on what we already belief.

The speaker says most teenagers are more likely to text their friends than to talk to them face to face. By that, they are not developing their comunication skills.

These are some advices she gives for a better conversation (entertain or inspire people without offending anybody):

1- Do not multitask, put yourself really into the conversation and don't get distracted by what you are going to do afterwards.

2- Don't give your opinion without being opened up to hear the other's. You need to enter a conversation assuming you are going to learn something from it.

3- Start your questions with who/what/when/where/how, you don't want yes/no answers.

4- Go with the flow. When you have a thought in your mind, say it out loud. Don't hold your questions for too much.

5- If you don't know something, say you don't know it. Don't play expert.

6- Don't equate your expierence with their's. All experiences are individual and at that moment, your's is not the one that matters.

7- Try not to repeat yourself because you will make them feel bored.

8- Leave the details out (unless they ask you to give them).

9- The number 1 MOST IMPORTANT skill: LISTEN. If your mouth is opened, you don't learn. Why don't we listen? Because we'd rather talk or we get distracted. Pay attention to the other person and intend to understand.

10- Be brief and interested in other people. Be always prepared to be amazed. 'Everyone you will ever meet knows something that you don't.

The video that I watched is about a woman that explains about a terrorism attack experience in a train and how happened. She said that she wasn't expecting that at all because the terrorist didn't seem like a bad person, when she was in the train the terrorist offered her a sit. She also mentions what she felt when she was down in the tunel when the bomb exploted and that she learnt how to be a survivour by keeping calm and trying to be strong when it all happened. She was one of the few people who actually survived to the terrorism attack and even though she lost her two legs, she says that she wouldn't change that experience for anything because she learnt more about being positive than ever before.

This video talks about the differents types of dances. They say that we dance for lose, we dance for to express ,to move and we dance together because it´s like a language,the same language and a lot of countrys can “talk” and “communicate” with this form. There are some types of dances that we dance know that there were taken from the past and their originality it´s from Africa or E.E.U.U. It´s the only language that all the world know to do. Also there are dances that are lost in the past and in this instant nobody know to dance and only the people who dance this is in some specifics islands from Africa(Jamaican) where the “Tribus” know to dance on the past and know nobody dance.But also there are an others dances that know the people is continuing dancing.

Daniel Levitin: How to stay calm when you know you'll be stressed

In the stressed situations our boddy and mind react with a primity mentality. Our mind only use our most logicaly and obiusly acctions and don`t paying atention to other thinks beacause,in the past, the stressed situations where in front of depredators and our lives depend of reacting in time, then, knowing that, when whe are in a stressed situation firstly whe have to detected, then act allways thinking and been consciently what we need and what we whant. And for don't forgot thinks, whe must put them in specific places for don't forgot them, like a place for the reed glasses, or the passaport or ID card place.

DAN ARIELY : WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOUR WORK?

Dan Ariely explain the importance of the motivation in the the jobs.

Initialy explain a one example of a man who climbing a mountain and explain that the motivation who inspired the men to continue climb is climbing the mountain, no who good feels to climb the mountain.

After that, explain an experiment whose is based to build legos in differents prices. In first case people build lego to 3 $. After that cost 2.75 and every time cost less until the people don't accept build one. Ariely explain that the people who loves Lego doesn't care about the Price to build a Lego and the people who don't liked a lot prefered the maxim benefeit economy. In this experiment Ariely shows the people prefer money than be happy of build legos

After that , they're an other experiment who explained the motivation of people in three diferents points of view :

The first point of view is based of people work and his work is recognized ,people is more motivated and perfectly work for less money

The second point of view is based of the work of people is ignored people isn't motivated and work for a lot of money because they don't have any motivation.

The  third point of view is based of the work are destroyed like if all the work they have in a time didn't serves for nothing. In this case they don't exist the motivation and the effort and the price to work is more expensive than the second case.

The finally of this experiment is explain that the most important thing in a work is the personal are motivating because if the people is don't motivating all effort who a lot of people done in a work is don't recognized and this provoque a big empty in the people.
The bosses should to recognized and interesed more in the effort who people have in the works because if the bosses don't valorate the workers the people only work for money and this is very sad.

Finally Ariely explain the difference between the idea of Adam Smith and Karl Marx. Ariely explain that the economic productive system of Adam Smith is fact for the industrial period. For this reason Ariely think that the idea of work of today is based more on the meaningful of Karl Marx who explain that the importance of work is not the money who recibes, the importance of work is the personal satisfaction who recibes to doing a work who liked, and likely this motivation you're a lot more productive because you're feel motivated. Ariely think that the idea of work is distorsioned and is doing this presentation to explain who for this is the real idea of work.

James Green: 3 moons and a planet that could have alien life

James Green, a NASA scientist, explains us that as a planetary scientist that the question: -Is there life beyond Earth in our solar system? - they don’t take very seriously until this notice. He says that the components for life are liquid water, energy and organic material but also have it for a long time for grow and evolve.

James didn’t believe that life could exist life beyond earth, for example planets that are next to the sun there’s to hot and warm and planets that are passing the earth there’s cold and the water is frozen. But investigating they found four exceptions, Mars, Titan, Europa and Enceladus. In Mars, there is water that flows in to the craters in summer, Enceladus create an ocean, and they found particles that prove that could be complex life in this moon and the same pass in Europa. This too moons are not the traditional place to live but they have liquid water and, if they’re organics, life could exist in this planets.

The other moon, Titan, is a Saturn’s moon. This moon have an atmosphere with nitrogen that the radar Cassini found, and also found liquid, but it’s not water it’s another type of liquid, methane that could replace water.

Finally this incredible scientist says that in approximately ten years the question will be solved, and if the answer is yes, the life will be in all the solar system.

Ken robinson: Do schools kill creativity?

The video I have seen it's about creativity at school, explain de extraordinary virtudes of childs at innovation. Ken explain that children aren't frightened about be wrong, in difference of adults that are scared about do things bad, so in this way childs are more original and more creative, but also says that childs go losing this virtud in the course of years because education teach that having a mistake is the worst thing you can make. He observe that every education system on earth has the same hierarchy of subjects, first maths and languages, and at the bottom are the arts. Says that our education system is predicated on the idea of academy ability, the reason is that the most useful subjects for work are at the top. He think that every person it's different and they can't study and practice the same because one are good in things that other aren't. He says that in the future we should educate child to be creative, to do what he think because they will be different, and make different things make the change, which is what we need.
