Debate is a discussion, as of a public question in an assembly, involving opposing viewpoints.
Debate in politics is a disscussion, as of a benefic question in an elite group, involving ideas that can help the candidates to look good in from of a public and get votes in order to win a good salary.
This revolutionary idea of a debate with questions froma real people tat really is asking what the nation wants to know, its a good idea. However, we cannot give for granted that everything comes from the people. There is place to think that some influences were put in some of the questions to benefit the candidates. We cannot take out the point it was politic and 99.9% of it its fake.

AMERICANRHETORIC
The message is about the influence of television in us. How we believe and do everything what they say, we just go in the tube. This was made 30 years ago but it still is relevant for the present. People get everything from television and newspapers, we believe what they say, we built our ideas from what we see in it, and we don’t even know if it is truth.
It is not just in American culture, it is around the world. Television is the common point in cultures. No matter who you are, where are you from, what you know about what is going on in your country, continent or world comes form the television.
The idea is nothing new, but I think what attracts me to see it; it’s what he has to say about other ways to get information. Do we have really another option? Or is it just the idea of see but don’t believe?

UNEXPECTED
It was a beautiful day in Cartagena. We had swum in the beach for one hour, until we got tired. We started to feel very hungry, so we decided to go to an Italian restaurant. When we got there, Chris was with his girlfriend.
We said: “Hi”
They said: “Hi”
Then we ordered some food. After we realized it wasn’t Chris’s girlfriend, it was Matt’s girlfriend!!!
She was so beautiful and gorgeous. We talk for a while, but we didn’t understand why they were too close to each other. We decided, we ill ask Matt what’s happening between his girlfriend and Chris.

Which is more important in human development of personality and intellegence: genes or environment?
First of all I think we have to consider that Genes and Enviroment play an important roll deteminating personality and intelligence.
The genes are this part that is innate in you and will make esaier for you to pick knoledge of everything. Enviroment doesnt have to be innate, but it is difficult to get. However both can affect each other. For example if you have the genes, but the enviroment where you live is messy and also there is not room to study or work out, the genes may be dont work. If you dont have the genes, but you live in a home where everything is organized and you have a space to exercise you may will habit to it.
In my humble opinion in order to be totally succesful and develope your personality and intellegence, there have to be an equal participation of genes and eviroment. Each one can help or make it worse.
