Why do people support politicians like Bolsonaro?

-

The only answer I can give to this question is that people support and vote for radical right-wing politicians because they think that they are somehow better than some other option. There are so many different factors and situation that probably every person who supports such political views has actually a little bit different reason to do so. However, I think a lot about it because I personally often do not agree with opinions those politicians present and it makes me wonder why do they differ. Is it a result of the way of upbringing and the impact of society or does it ‘come from you’ and is something natural? On one hand it is hard to believe that we can ‘be born with some kind of morality’, but on the other I feel that my views are not imposed in any way but are natural for me and it is quite difficult to imagine that for someone else they could be not.

In my opinion the problem with answering this question, and with politics in general, is that nobody can actually understand or imagine the other person's views because they are usually influenced by their whole life. As a result, we do not usually think about what others think because it is frustrating that we can not understand it. However, I am afraid that a lot of people do not give much thought to their own views and who they vote for to represent them. The fact that some people do not care (or claim not to) is probably a bigger problem and on some levels might be a reason why politics all over the world is nowadays so full of hate.

    If we assume that the surge in alt-right popularity is caused by various individual motivations, we throw away the chance to understand this phenomenon and to counteract. There are numerous sociological analyses explaining the rise in populism and fascism we are currently witnessing, often comparing the situation to the one in the 1930s. Dig deeper.

Would you like to work in the Madarin Oriental?

I would not like to work in this hotel because I do not think that I could find common ground with people who come there. They come from a very eccentric entourage with a specific hierarchy of priorities. In my opinion most of guests place money in the foreground and believe that if you are rich you can get almost everything. My attitude is actually an opposite - I claim that there is plenty of things that are more valuable. The Mandarin Oriental is not a place for me because I do not think that I could get on well with its guests.

Ginger root

Obraz
Ginger's been known in many cultures for its anti-inflammatory properties, it can significantly improve immunity. Used in alleviating gastrointestinal symptoms, for example it can prevent motion sickness or morning sickness during pregnancy. Ginger also enhances nutrient absorption. It can reduce various types of muscle pain, e.g. muscle soreness and is also said to significantly relieve menstrual cramps. Due to a high volatile acids (antibacterial and antiviral) content, it strengthens the body's defence mechanisms. Personally, I use ginger most often when I'm sick, as it helps fight infections. Next to the volatile acids, it contains a lot of vitamin C and minerals. The easiest way to use it (especially when you're sick and do not have energy to do anything more advanced) is making ginger infused water - some people call it 'ginger tea'.. However, to extract as much as possible from the root, eat it with a high-protein meal. https://www.livestrong.c

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00082dp The podcast is a relation from a culinary event where music and dance play an important role. It shows an amazing relation between food and culture if various ethnic groups from different parts of the world. In today's world, in the era of globalization, we can try different countries' cuisine without travelling further than to the city centre. It is an amazing opportunity to broaden one's cultural horizons and eat some delicious and extraordinary foods. However, I think it would be a huge loss for us if we gave up all the historical and sometimes even philosophical aspects of ethnic food. Originally, the process of preparing a dish might have been long and complexed and many 'oriental' restaurants, omnipresent in the streets of most western cities, just deprive their meals of the initial meaning and just play with foreign spices. Obviously, it does not mean that all the things we eat have to be authentic and have a spirit
