Reflection 1

 I was out with my friend in the shopping mall. One thing led to another and we soon ended up in a Carrefour buying drinks, to be exact I was craving some floured milk so I've spent quite some time in front of the fridge choosing one. Later on, when I came back home I decided to chill and watch some videos on YouTube. Much to my surprise, the first ad that I saw was, of course, the ad of the milk that I've just bought. Frankly, it wasn't the first time it happened to me (previously it was about the soap that I bought). So the reflection that came to my mind after that was that we're constantly being watched. I wouldn't have thought that I can't even go to the shop without giving any kind of trace on the internet. It gives me chills that all of that information is probably being saved in some data to be later on used to convince me to buy something. I think it's just insane what people would do know about the needs of their potential customers.

    Do you know HOW this information was gathered? Was it via the card you used?

      I think it has something to do with the phone internet connection, but I'm not quite sure.

    All of that is so creepy, and it’s the same when i use for example my phone! While scrolling facebook all the time i see ads of sites that i visited on Safari. Modern society is all about advertisement it’s weird and disgusting.

Korean Webcomics and Webtoons

Obraz
The history of webtoons have began in 1990's and started growing bigger in 2003, when portal sites like Naver or Daum began they webtoon portal services. Over the years these internet comics have developed into stories of various genres. It's also possible for readers to leave the comments under the webcomic to communicate with the artist. The popularity of webtoons is growing year on year. In May 2014, Naver published 128 weekly webcomics while Daum around 85.  The growth of webtoons has led to the trend of adapting the most popular ones such as "Secretly Greatly" or "Misaeng". (webtoon and drama called "Cheese in the trap") Sources: https://koreancultureblog.com/2015/01/19/koreans-favourite-comics-cartoons-webcomics-or-webtoons/ https://pl.pinterest.com/pin/586453182697398984/ https://twitter.com/poupee19/status/856467022556704768

What does it mean to be a real man in today's world?

I think in our times it's a bit confusing for even a man to define what does it mean to be a "real man". And for me being a woman it's even harder to describe it and I can only guess. However, in my opinion, being a real man is, in fact, being your true self. Accepting your weaknesses and knowing your strengths. Of course, there are some popular believes that men should be self-confident, strong, successful, shouldn't be afraid to stand up for what they believe, yet I think that those characteristics don't only apply only for men, but also for women.  To sum it up, I believe that the key to being a real man/ real human is just to be yourself and be kind to others.

Reflection 2

The recent reflection that came to my mind was actually during geography class when we were looking at the map of the Kielce at its surroundings and the girls at my group weren't sure whether the cave was in Kielce or in some village next to it. And then I just remembered that I was actually in that cave so I could resolve their doubts. The thought that came to my mind, later on, was that travel truly broadens your mind. It's just so much easier to make connections and figure out things when you were somewhere and just remembered how it was.
