Racism and Homophobia

This news talks about the murder of a transgender woman in Englewood and I think is related with the global issue of racism and homophobia to the collective LGBT.

Transgender Woman shot to death in Englewood

Transgender Woman shot to death in EnglewoTransgender Woman shot to death in EnglThe victim who was a 24-year-old transgender woman was shot to death Tuesday morning in the Englewood neighbourhood on Chicago's South Side.

The family and friends of the victim knew her as Tiara Richmond but she also was knew as Keke Colliner, said an advocate.

Tiara was in a car with a male in the 7300 block of South May Street when the man shot her. When the police arrived, they found her Richmond lying on the ground nearby with gunshot wounds to her chest, arm and hand.

Richmond was the second transgender woman killed in Chicago in less than six months, the other woman who was killed was found with her throat  cut in the 4500 block of West Monroe, according to authorities.

Personal opinion:

This news is very sad, It’s clear that we don’t know what happened exactly and what were the boy's reasons for killing her but first of all this news is terrible, I will never understand how one person can kill another, never. You're taking everything away from that person how can you live with that.

 And then the fact that she was a transgender woman. The LGBT collective it have always been despised and criticized and of course, not accepted by many people. I am completely in favour of them, is to say I have so many friends who are gay and that doesn’t  mean that they have to be treated differently from the other people.

I find it embarrassing that in the century that we are people kill people for being themselves or criticize them for being of the collective LGBT.

Technology Addition

Today I’m here to talk about Technology addition because I think it’s an issue that effects us all. 

Nowadays see people with their phones everywhere is the most normal but I think we are not doing things right. I’m the first to admit that I'm always on my cell phone, always and that’s not good. 

As a personal experience I have to say that I use the cell phone for everything, from talking to friends to reading books. And many times I wonder, “When I let my life depend on an electronic Device?” of course my life doesn’t depend on the cell phone but it’s a way of expressing this addiction.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees that this is getting out of hand, we only have to see children of 7 years, who already have a phone, it’s crazy because they don’t have the need to have one. When I was little me and my friends spent the afternoons in the park playing or playing anywhere but playing. Now children play with game consoles, they are missing experiences and memories of childhood because many of them spend the evenings in front of a screen.

Even when I'm 16 I'm losing things in life because I'm so hooked on tecnologies, this thing is a complete madness. Many times when you stay with your friends even being next to each other we talk on the phone or just hang out with the phone and it’s like you have your friends in front, and you prefer to spend the time in front of a screen than talking with them.

To this kind of things I mean when I talk about the addition to Technology and now I only can think “What are we doing with our lives?”
