Dome of the Cathedral of Florence- video 3

The video generally was about the dome of the Cathedral of Florence which was planned by the Brunelleschi in the 14th century. Until the St. Peter's it was the highest dome that has ever been raised. The most interesting thing that I learned from this video was the fact that after the ancient times when the Pantheon was built people kind of lost that technology until Brunelleschi who did this amazing engineering work and created this dome without wooden centring.

    Pantheon is the most impressive building I have been in - 2300 years old, with its open roof through which you can see the sky and the sun creating changing shapes on the floor and the walls.
    Ii Duomo in Florence is great too. Did the video show that the roof has two parallel layers between which you walk when you visit it?

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".

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.
