Does school prepare us for life?

School prepares us for life only in some aspects. Its curriculum doesn’t include vital things such as creativity or social skills. Our creativity can only escalate in a few tasks, but only if you kind of override the rules, which sometimes can lead to a bad mark. Meeting and talking to people is very limited by rules and short breaks. In conclusion school is pretty important, but we could get along without it.

Would you like to turn vegetarian?

Actually I am a vegeterian for over a year now. I made up my mind not to eat meat, because I assume that if I am not able to kill animal, I won’t make use of butcher. Another crucial aspect is that meat in our times is very unhealty. Thanks to antibiotics which are served to all animals, both healthy and sick. In my opinion either eating corpses or antibiotis doesn’t really seem encouraging.

What does it mean to be a real man in our times?

About 100 years ago being a real man meant having a wife with several children and an ability to work hardly for many hours. Hopefully nowadays being a „real man” means being responsible for our relatives and bravely facing problems . People can do anything they want unless it does not harm anyone. That being said,  a real man is a person who can either have very visible muscles and a typical job like broker or a drag queen. There is no need to categorise people into real and not real, because it only makes our lifes more complicated and limits somebody’s freedom. 

Is 600£ for a night at the Mandarin Oriental a good value of money?

I think that a night at the Mandarin Oriental is a complete waste of money for ordinary people. When comparing it to other luxurious hotels, it makes no sense to spend 600£ just because of its fame. Of course if you are a millionaire,spending some extra money doesn’t make any difference. However for most of us it would better to invest that money in something else like travelling or education. A stay in this luxurious hotel is a great deal only for wealthy people. 

Is it possible that we will stop being a throwaway society?

In my opinion it is barely possible that we will stop being a throwaway society. Nowadays people live much faster than their ancestors, which causes the need for an immediate react for anything that happens. They prefer to have an easy access to cheap products with poor quality at the same time rather than a slightly more expensive things that will last them years. Considering the fact, that they use those things usually only once, they quickly get rid of them. Based on these arguments a chance to change other peoples behaviours is non-viable.
