MEN VS WOMEN

(picture from the internet)

What is your opinion about the changes in the role of women in the family and in the world of work? Does discrimination still exist nowadays in the modern western societies? What do you think about the status of women in muslim countries like Iran, for example?

Is Communication an Addiction?

(picture from the internet - unknown author)


Why do people in general and especially young people have a growing need to be in touch, to communicate, to send messages and be in chat rooms in the internet all the time? When I ask my students about their hobbies, chatting and sending text messages on mobile phones are always on the list! Even the well-known hi5s are a way of being in touch with friends, meeting new people and sending messages. Why do we have such a need, nowadays? What would we do if we didn't have mobile phones or internet anymore? How do you think you would feel?...
