The Coming Greater Depression of the 2020s

ARTICLE : THE COMING DEPRESSION OF THE 2020s LINK OF THE ARTICLE :  https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/greater-depression-covid19-headwinds-by-nouriel-roubini-2020-04 I choose an   opinion article published the 28th of April 2020 by Project Syndicate "The World's opinion page". It was written by  Nouriel Roubini, Professor of Economics at New York University's Stern School of Business .   First and foremost , the purpose of the article is to propound a rather more detailed hypothesis or analysis of the economical consequences that the current health crisis is about to bring.

As a consequence, the economic activity has known a big  downturn since the beginning of the quarantines although telecommuting has been a convenient solution for some lines of business.

Mind-Map spaces and exchanges

PARAGRAPH ONE  In this notion we have to deal with two different concepts « spaces » and « exchanges ». If we dig into these two concepts and search a definition to them we could say that : If we look up in a dictionary we would find this definition an empty area that is free to be used , but if we dig a little bit more in what it could men, we could say that this concept reflects not only a geographical and physical area but also a symbolical or even virtual area if we look at our modern world.

ELEPHANT, a GUS VAN SANT movie

ELEPHANT, a GUS VAN SANT movie  1) What struck you most in the film? To begin with, I would like to emphasize the fact that this question is particularly difficult to answer when it comes to the analysis of this movie. Even if I have mixed feelings in the choice I have made, it goes without saying that this particular scene is quite striking. In the first place, this moment struck me because it is the actual accomplishment of their shooting plan. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the artistic choice of Gus Van Sant decelerate the arrival of the shooters and that the different time lapses and point of views create a shroud of confusion. Strange as it may seam in this scene all seems to be clarified. But, what strikes me the most in this scene is that Michelle is the first victim. This, in fact, seems very paradoxical because she could be considered as a "nerd". On top of that, she is very lonely and she is also harassed and humiliated by other students. O
