This video show us how the English language is changing and how intonation and repetition modify the meaning of the sentence. The humor in it is that you can see how it is true and applicable in our lives nowadays.

Religion

"Religion alive confronts the individual with the most momentous option life can present. It calls the soul to the highest adventure it can undertake, a proposed journey across the jungles, peaks, and deserts of the human spirit. The call is to confront Reality, to master the self. Those who dare to hear and follow that call soon learn the dangers and difficulties of its lonely journey."-Huston Smith

This quote doesn’t just speak to just one religion but rather all religions. Each religion asks you to go on a journey of the soul and find ones true self. After doing so you then reach a higher power, you become aware, you learn about life and how to live. Once you die you die alone and if you have reached awareness you move on alone to heaven, you become one with your god, or you get sent back into the world. This quote expresses all of these ideas journey, understanding and loneliness.

ETA, Euskadi Ta Askatasuna

I do not know if people know about this but in Spain some of the vasc people wants the vasc province to be an independent country. Since 1958 in Spain there is a terrorist band, called ETA. Their objective is to make the vasc province and independent country by terrorism and violence. They have murdered thousands of people in Spain. This band was active in France and Spain. Now thanks to the police and government´s pressure and also because of the people´s social rejection, the band has decided that they are gonna leave the terrorism and negotiate with the government. The government´s answer was that they are not going to negotiate anything, they just want ETA to leave the terrorism and start defending their ideas by politics, a political party.

Lady Macbeth, the woman behind the scenes

Lady Macbeth is Macbeths wife, and she has the most influence on him. She knows his weaknesses, and she knows how to talk to him in order to touch his weakest points and make him doubt his own actions. One thing that she does is that she questions his masculinity. For example, she says that he is not man enough to kill Duncan, to obtain his position as king. She knows that it hurts Macbeth’s pride. He will act, only to prove his masculinity. Lady Macbeth also courages and helps him. She tries to make it as easy as possible for him to kill Duncan. She makes the guards drunk, and she puts the daggers in place, so that the only thing Macbeth has to do, is the actual action of murdering.

I think this comic is funny because it is a simple demonstration of people overusing social networks.
