My favorite TV series☺

My favorite TV series is 'Skins', a British teen drama that followed the lives of a group of teenagers in Bristol. They are trying to grow up and find love and happiness, despite questionable parenting and teachers who more want to be friends rather than authority figures. This series is divided in three generations.

Seasons 1 and 2
This seasons are about the first generation.
My favorite characters are Tony Stonem, an attractive, intelligent and popular boy that manipulate everyone who's around him, and Cassie Ainsworth, an eccentric girl who suffers from an eating disorder.

Seasons 3 and 4
This seasons are about the second generation.
My favorite characters are Effy Stonem, Tony's sister, she's pretty and popular but also quiet and distant, and James Cook, charismatic and sociable, also boisterous and not afraid of authority.

Seasons 5 and 6 
This seasons are about the third generation.
My favorite characters are Franky Fitzgerald, an intelligent and creative girl, seen by other as strange, largely due to her androgynous dress sense, and Rich Hardbeck, he immerses himself in heavy metal subculture and uses musical elitism as a means to cover up his own shyness when, among other things, interacting with girls.

PC - Political Correctness

Political Correctness means using words or behavior which will not offend any group of people. Most people think it is important for everyone to be treated equally, fairly and with dignity. Some words have been used for a long time that are unkind to some people. Sometimes these words have now been replaced by other words that are not offensive. Such words are described as politically correct. The term is often used in a mocking sense when attempts at avoiding offense are seen to go too far.

Political correctness- or PC for short - is the latest trend in United States in linguistic etiquette. There are a lot of inoffensive terms in THE OFFICIAL POLITICALLY CORRECT DICTIONARY AND HANDBOOK. 

Here you have some examples:

Politically correct = "culturally sensitive" or "appropriately inclusive"
Artificial/synthetic = "man-made"

Himself/herself = "coself'' - gender-neutral substitute
AIDS victim = "person living with AIDS" or "PLA/PLWA" in short

Prostitutes = "sex workers"
Wives = "domestic incarceration survivors"
Fat people = "horizontally challenged"
Bald men = "hair disadvantaged"

Bespectacled = "optically challenged"
Man and woman = "melanin impoverished human animals"
Blacks = African-Americans or Caribbean-Americans

Pregnant woman = "parasitically oppressed"
Dead = "living impaired"
Homeless = "residentially flexible"

Poor = "financially inept"

The Story of Chocolate

Chocolate grows on trees. 
To make chocolate, cocoa farmers crack open the pods, scoop out the seeds, ferment them and dry them. The cocoa "beans" that form the basis of chocolate are actually seeds from the fruit of the cacao tree, which grows near the Equator. The seeds grow inside a pod-like fruit and are covered with white pulp. The beans are shipped to factories, where manufacturers inspect and clean them, then roast and grind them into a paste called chocolate liquor. More pressing, rolling, mixing with sugar and other ingredients, and heating and cooling yields delicious chocolate.
The cacao bean begins life primarily in remote areas of West Africa, Southeast Asia and Central and South America. These delicate, flower-covered trees need much tending and, when farmed using sustainable methods, grow in harmony in tropical forests beneath other cash crops such as bananas, rubber or hardwood trees. Grown on small family farms, the beans leave cocoa farms by hand, in carts, on donkeys or rugged trucks to be sold to a local buyer and then to processors abroad.

Once in the factory, they are ground, pressed, heated and stirred to create luxurious chocolate.

Humans’ love affair with chocolate began at least 4,000 years ago in Mesoamerica, in present-day southern Mexico and Central America, where cacao grew wild. When the Olmecs unlocked the secret of how to eat this better seed, they launched an enduring phenomenon.

The making of chocolate has evolved into an industry so large that 40 to 50 million people depend on cocoa for their livelihoods.

Random acts of kindness☺

A random act of kindness is a selfless act performed by a person or people wishing either to assist or to cheer up an individual person or people. Random acts of kindness are a means by which we make a deliberate attempt to brighten another person's day by doing something thoughtful, nice, and caring. Kindness is a way of showing others that they count and that, even in the face of hostility and selfishness, you're making a stand for kindness. Originally associated with Anne Herbert, who is said to have once written "Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty" on a place mat in a restaurant, this concept has become an organized celebration through various events around the world, as well as referring to a general call to action in the name of kindness. And you don't need to wait for someone else to initiate a day or week of celebrations to practice random acts of kindness; you can put them into play any time you like!
Here are some suggestions for encouraging others with your random acts of kindness:
1. Be kind
2. Be thoughtful
3. Use your manners as a form of kindness

4. Give out compliments generously

5. Think about people who quietly make a difference to your community and thank them
6. Cheer up the lonely
7. Volunteer
8. Shower a coworker with kindness
9. Share a little wealth around

10. Give your family a break
11. Hold a friend's night-in
12. Write some thoughts on hope and leave it somewhere for a stranger to find

13. Forgive somebody
14. Share a smile

15. Expect nothing  

SO.. BE KIND☺

The Black History Month - Rosa Parks

Rosa Louise McCauley Parks was an African-American Civil Rights activist, whom the United States Congress called "the first lady of civil rights". She was born on February 4, 1913 and on December 1, 1955 she was refused to surrender her bus seat to a white passenger, spurring the Montgomery boycott and other efforts to end segregation. Rosa's childhood brought her early experiences r
acial discrimination and activism for racial equality. After her parents separated, Rosa's mother moved the family to Pine Level in Alabama to live with her parents - both former slaves and strong advocates for racial equality. In 1932, at age 19, Rosa met and married Raymond Parks, a barber and an active member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. With Raymond's support, Rosa earned her high school degree in 1933. She soon became actively involved in civil rights issues by joining the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP in 1943, serving as the chapter's youth leader as well as secretary to NAACP President E.D. Nixon—a post she held until 1957. The Montgomery City Code required that all public transportation be segregated and that bus drivers had the "powers of a police officer of the city while in actual charge of any bus for the purposes of carrying out the provisions" of the code. While operating a bus, drivers were required to provide separate, but equal accommodations for white and black passengers by assigning seats. This was accomplished with a line roughly in the middle of the bus separating white passengers in the front of the bus and African-American passengers in the back.
When an African-American passenger boarded the bus, they had to get on at the front to pay their fare and then get off and re-board the bus at the back door. When the seats in the front of the bus filled up and more white passengers got on, the bus driver would move back the sign separating black and white passengers and, if necessary, ask black passengers give up their seat. On December 1, 1955, after a long day's work at a Montgomery department store, where she worked as a seamstress, Rosa Parks boarded the Cleveland Avenue bus for home. She took a seat in the first of several rows designated for "colored" passengers. Though the city's bus ordinance did give drivers the authority to assign seats, it didn't specifically give them the authority to demand a passenger to give up a seat to anyone (regardless of color). However, Montgomery bus drivers had adopted the custom of requiring black passengers to give up their seats to white passengers, when no other seats were available. If the black passenger protested, the bus driver had the authority to refuse service and could call the police to have them removed.
As the bus Rosa was riding continued on its route, it began to fill with white passengers. Eventually, the bus was full and the driver noticed that several white passengers were standing in the aisle. He stopped the bus and moved the sign separating the two sections back one row and asked four black passengers to give up their seats. Three complied, but Rosa refused and remained seated. The driver demanded, "Why don't you stand up?" to which Rosa replied, "I don't think I should have to stand up." The driver called the police and had her arrested. Later, Rosa recalled that her refusal wasn't because she was physically tired, but that she was tired of giving in.
The police arrested Rosa at the scene and charged her with violation of Chapter 6, Section 11, of the Montgomery City Code. She was taken to police headquarters, where, later that night, she was released on bail.
