FREE INDIVIDUAL POST: A song/video on the ‘SPACES & EXCHANGES’ notion

   June 20th, when this song is published, marked the World refugee day, a time for the globe’s citizens to collectively aim their thoughts and compassion towards the 65 million people who have been forced to flee their homes for various reasons. In much of the developing world, things like civil war, poverty, disease, and natural disasters have caused a need for an escape, generally to another country. But the world of political science offers up nothing if not complexity, and sometimes the refugees find themselves uninvited or even banned from crossing certain borders – which leads to even more strife, as the current Syrian refugee crisis has proven.


   Rather than translate the issue into film form, actual footage of those suffering the catastrophe’s side effects are shared, really bringing the magnitude and gravity of the problem to life.



   Featuring Grammy-winning Jazz vocalist Gregory Porter and frequent Hip-Hop collaborator/Jazz trumpeter Keyon Harrold, “Running” isn’t simply a song meant to educate and elicit emotion. By downloading the song, listeners can donate money to many organizations.

    Your blog post is totally inadequate as it mostly consists of plagiarized material. There is hardly anything personal in it! Proof is, almost everything was copied and pasted from the following website:

    Shame on you!

FREE POST It's an American television series created by Ronald D. Moor. It is the adaptation of the series of fantasy novels The Thistle and the Tartan (Outlander) written by Diana Gabaldon. https://youtu.be/8IzIX4tjG9c Claire Randall, a war nurse, is the main character. Married to military man Frank Randall, they leave in 1945 for a trip to Scotland. Claire finds herself alone, transported two hundred years earlier in 1743, in the middle of revolted Scotland. Immersed in an unknown world without any landmarks, she will be confronted with many adventures. In particular, she will meet her husband's ancestor, Captain Jack Randall, who will have to live through the Scottish rebellion. One of the most fervent protagonist of the latter, James Fraser, the Highland warrior will become, alongside Claire, the other main character of the series. Claire Fraser is thus divided between two worlds and two men who are opposed to each other.  Her comfort as a respected a

POST 11: SPACES & EXCHANGES: A MIND MAP First of all it is important to differentiate the two components of the concept "spaces and exchanges". A space is theoretically a delimited area, on a more or less large scale. An exchange is the act of giving or receiving something in substitution for something else. The exchanges can be economic, social, cultural, political. These exchanges, as we can clearly see on the mind map, take place in real or virtual spaces. We will focus on this distinction by studying the two different types of spaces, and then we will focus on the exchanges made on those spaces. First, we will look at different real spaces. Indeed we all know the two great spaces that separate the globe. This limit imagined in 1959, puts on one side the so-called rich and developed countries and on the other the countries which are more behind, less developed. The use of this limit is however to be put into perspective because today countr

POST 12 : Spaces and Exchanges : Two cartoons In the first document we can see the store window, from an external point of view. This shop is located on a sidewalk, in a city. A passer-by is certainly on his way to or from work, carrying a schoolbag in his hand, is in costume. He seems to be very interested in the shop window, his neck is in rotation, a slight smile appears on his face. In this electronics shop called "ace computers", we can see in the window three computers and a poster addressed to passers-by. On the latter is written: "Welcome, Eco tourists! Why travel and add to pollution? Stay home and visit exotic travel web sites!" The man passing by on the sidewalk therefore seems to be particularly interested and intrigued by this ad. We will therefore try to interpret this comic strip. The electronic sign, is directly addressed to passers-by, inhabitants likely to work hard without necessarily being able to afford holidays
