The Papalagi

A german anthropologist, called Erich Scheurmann, went to study a tribe in Tiavea, Upolu (one of the Samoan islands), and met Tuiavii, the village's chief. They started to get close to each other so Tuiavii told Erich his story.
The tiavean chief had been in Europe time ago but he came back impressed and disappointed about our culture. Tuiavii wrote about it, however never intended to show it to Erich until they finally had total trust.
In his texts he calls us Papalagi (white men) and he describes our culture as "a one way road to nowhere".
One of the best quotes of Tuiavii that the anthropologist could remember was "you fellow think that you can show us the light, but what you really do is try to drag us down into your pool of darkness.
Erich translated the book to german and published it.

KEN ROBINSON

Ken Rovinson works in education sector and 

he believes education is wrong,

 he thinks that teachers don't let 

children develop the way they are, they are creative 

since the moment of their 

birth and most teachers 

always stop the artistic side in the childhood. So 

education have to change for a better 

evolution in the society.

My life by 2028

When I grow up, I will have travelled to India because i love to travel far away and I will be working in a gym or training a swimming team in Majadahonda. As soon as I start to make a salary I will rent an apartment with a garden near Monte del Pilar because I hope i will have a dog.

I will make sport at night or in the morning because i like it and i hope it will always make me feel well and happy.

In 2028 i guess I will be spending christmas time and two weeks of summer with my family.

Anyways, I don't want to grow up fast because I like my age now.
