A Little More about Dyslexia
Your classmate Ana, who gave us a very interesting and well-prepared presentation about dyslexia the other day in class, would like to share with us the following interview made to Steven Spielberg, where he is asked to talk about what it is like to be a dyslexic, like himself:
I hope you enjoy the interview, and learn something new about this not-so-uncommon disease. Thank you, Ana, for lending us the opportunity to understand others, or ourselves, better!

Human, by Yann Arthus-Bertrand
Our last post dealt with all kinds of humans living in New York, and their different lives, experiences, ideas, and perspectives. Here I propose a really touching documentary on humans, this time inhabitans of the whole planet, made by the French photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand.
Synopsis:
HUMAN is a collection of stories about and images of our world, offering an immersion to the core of what it means to be human. Through these stories full of love and hapiness, as well as hatred and violence, HUMAN brings us face to face with the Other, making us reflect on our lives. From stories of everyday experiences to accounts of the most unbelievable lives, these poignant encounters share a rare sincerity and underline who we are -our darker side, but also what is most noble in us, and what is universal. Our Earth is shown at its most sublime through never-before-seen aerial images accompanied by soaring music, resulting in an ode to the beauty of the world, providing a moment to draw breath and for introspection.
