Pursuit of Happyness [film review]

For this months creativity part of my CAS I decided to write a film review. The movie I chose is “Pursuit of Happyness” based on Chris Gardeners’ real life story, directed by Gabrielle Muccino. The main role (of Chris Gardner) was brilliantly played by Will Smith. I chose this film as it discusses family values in an unconventional way that leaves the watcher truly moved by the touching message. Pursuit of happyness is a movie from 2006 in the genre of drama. It tells about characters who stand together on a journey of Poverty in a highly industrialised world. The plot tells of a single father that struggles to make ends meet for him and his son. He is the creator of a new medical machine invented by him, but unfortunately he repeatedly fails to advertise and sell this device. ...

„Pianie kogutów, płacz psów” Wojciecha Tochmana – recenzja

Przystanie łodziowe w Tatai (Fot. Tomasz Dobkowski) Jak to jest mieszkać w kraju, przez który w ciągu ostatnich 50 lat wciąż przetaczały się różne niepokoje i traumatyczne wojny, kaci nigdy nie zostali ukarani i nadal żyją wśród ofiar, a publiczna opieka zdrowotna właściwie nie istnieje? Na te trudne pytania próbował odpowiedzieć reportażysta Wojciech Tochman w swojej najnowszej książce, która stanowić miała część cyklu o codziennym życiu w tych miejscach na świecie, w których doszło do ludobójstwa. Poprzednie reportaże mówią o Bośni i Rwandzie, tym razem autor wybrał Kambodżę. Niestety próba zakończyła się porażką. Piszę to z przykrością, bo Kambodża to jedno piękniejszych, bardziej autentycznych i fascynujących swoją historią miejsc na świecie. Bywałem tam wielokrotnie i muszę prz...

Chanel prefall 2019

Karl Lagerfeld, the famous creative director of the French luxury fashion house "Chanel", has yet again outdone himself in the latest Chanel pre-fall 2019’s fashion show. Set around the astonishing Metropolitan Museum of Arts 10 B.C’s Temple of Dendur, the show was a tribute to the art of craftsmanship. It was a consistent combination of Ancient Egypt and modern Chanel’s styles. To make the scenery more reliable, all surrounding columns have been covered with thick papyrus. However, the temple itself, was partially covered and hidden from the audience. This made the place look more dramatic, as if the Guests were to enter a secret Ancient gathering. Lagerfeld started the show with the famous Chanel tweed jackets, which were presented during his last spring-summer show as well. However, ...

Dominic Lieven’s The end of Tsarist Russia – A review

Lieven's The end of the Tsarist Russia offers an alternative, Russian perspective on the origins of the First World War. This refreshing analysis is based on Russian archives, which makes it uniquely detailed among the newest studies of the events leading to the disaster of 1914-1918 that have been proliferating recently to honour the conflict's centenary. What sets this book apart, is that the archival work of Dominic Lieven brings political protagonism back to individuals often overlooked by modern historians. With many personalities involved, his analysis of Russian pre-war politics becomes much more humane and plural. For instance, apart from Tsar Nicolas II and his foreign minister Serge Sazonov, one becomes acquainted with Prince Grigorii Trubetskoy, a diplomat, veiled behind the ...

Richer but no happier

Richard Layard’s „Happiness” deals with a paradox of the last 50 years – why people all around the world have become richer and healthier but no happier. The higher income people get, the less it increases their happiness. It can be explained by the law of diminishing marginal utility; each unit of income more provides less happiness because humans tend to adjust their standard to the current situation and a good considered to be a luxury in the past (ex. a car) becomes just ordinary when the income increases. The ability to habituate may be beneficial in a crisis situation (ex. there is war and humans have to get used to eat less) but it in a state of peace it creates a vicious cycle of constant escalation of needs and wants. “We will find neither national purpose nor personal sati...

Piketty: Capital in the Twenty-First Century [Review]

Ignored as it may have been for the past few decades, inequality is a subject stirring much debate today. One of the reasons for that is a book published in 2013 by a French economist Thomas Piketty, "Capital in the Twenty-First Century". All Piketty’s conclusions are induced from historical evidence which had been collected by Mr Piketty and his colleagues for over a decade. Growing wealth gap Alluding to a landmark book “Das Kapital” from 1867, Piketty has already been proclaimed “a modern Marx”. Whereas Marx urged that exploitation of labour force is the source for capitalists’ wealth accumulation, Piketty convinces that since wealth grows faster than economic output, over time the wealth gap between people who own wealth (with all its future returns) and people who don’t (th...
