Everywhere in the world you can see and hear people crying for help. Wars, droughts, poverty, floods... There are few solutions to all these problems, but those in charge must have the will. There is still hope, as the quote below states. 
In Spain we have got plenty of problems everywhere (housing, corruption, immigration, jobs...), but "we still have a cup" and we have got the power in our hands to try to change things if we make the effort. We should not waste that possibility, especially our students.

ResponderEliminarHow good are young people at spotting fake news?
The BBC recently sent a reporter to visit a class of teenagers students.First, the reporter asked the students where they got their news, and if they knew how to spot fake information. Then they played games in which they had to analyse information. The results were amazing, almost the 75% of the students identified the fake information. In conclusion, young people are better than older generations at spotting fake news.
