Reflection

    For all the years in school, I had this big problem, that on the tests from some subjects, especially maths, I could pretty much never finish the test in time, which resulted in not doing tasks that I usually would be I able to do, if I had just a little more time. Nowadays I stil have this problem and it came to the point, that on the math tests I lose at least about 20-25% points because I can't make it in time and usually I would be able to do these tasks if I had more time. It leads to a reflection, why does the school put such emphasis on our timing? Is the time so important? Isn't knowledge enough?

    Sometimes timing does matter - when you have to take a decision quickly, you have to perform some mental operations (like some calculations) automatically, without thinking too much. Also, if you work 25% slower than other people, shouldn't you be paid 25% less or work 10 hours a day instead of eight for the same pay :-)?
    Seriously, you should work on this issue because the matura exam has a clear and challenging time limit.

Loneliness

 link to the video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3Xv_g3g-mA&t=330s The video discusses the topic of loneliness; what is it and why it hurts us so much, how does it harm us physically and how we can deal with it. So, loneliness is actually a part of our biology and has roots way back when the human race started evolving. Back then, social needs were an indicator of how likely you were to survive, because being together ment survival, you practicly couldn't live alone. To avoid getting excluded of the group, our body came up with "social pain", a sort of early warning system to make sure you stop behaviour that would isolate you. That is why loneliness is painful. In the modern world these mechanisms for keeping us connected work less efficiently due to our lives being very busy and overloaded with information. We meet fewer people in the person and less often than we usted to. We also have less time to spend it with friends. Studies have shown, that the stress

Homeopathy Explained – Gentle Healing or Reckless Fraud?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HslUzw35mc - link to the video     The video goes around a topic of homepathy. Firstly, the speaker explains what homeopathy actually is. It's an alternative way of treatment, which bases around the placebo effect. Homeopathic "medicines" are made of mostly water and contain extremely small amount of ingredients that are usually not even proved to have any healing capabillities. Yet, somehow it has got to be the most popular alternative treatment and in many cases helped, where normal medicine failed. That shows us how big of a thing, the placebo effect is and how much  just pure belief in one thing can change. The video also suggests what normal medicine could learn from homeopathy, is that it should start looking at patients as individual beings, not just numbers. Words I didn't know: to dissolve - Shake the vial gently to dissolve the powder, avoiding foaming. dilution - The extreme dilution is supposed to make the i
