Hello everyone!
We would like to present proudly to you our new magazine
(fanfares!): PLANET LIVE! The cover is linked to almost
every topic we bring up here – could you find them inside? We
were a bit unsure about what to write about and which cover to
choose (we had two options), but finally we made our mind (and
I hope this is the best one!): we decided to describe mostly some
social issues, but don’t worry, we present them rather lucidly . So
let’s go through it together. Have a good time reading!
                                                              Love,
                                               The Editorial Team:

Subcultures-
where do they
come from and what they really are?
     When we say subcultures we probably mean the goth, punk, hip-hop etc.

groups. We think of weird people in too colourful or too dark clothes.

According to ‘http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subculture’ this particular word

means ‘ a group of people with a culture (whether distinct or hidden) which

differentiates them from the larger culture to which they belong .’. But have

you ever wondered where it comes from?

     As some of us can consider themselves as ‘normal’, they are sometimes

lucky to be ones. Because in most of the cases, people do not chose to belong

to this ‘strange’ group. It is often a result of hard childhood or school

problems. People that don’t feel well while belonging to one particular group

called ‘normal’, often search for other things that will definitely alienate them

from the others. It often happens in schools where children do not place much

attention on toleration or even discriminate kids that are somehow different.

That situation happens in almost every school in the world. Children can be

brutal, so the victims of those acts can feel so alienated that they want to

express their ‘point of view’ by wearing characteristic clothes and acting like

the subculture, they started to belong to.

People that came across sexual discrimination, want to either fill in the society

or start to express their orientation stronger. They often do the second thing



                                                                                5
by wearing clothes that are not originally made for their sex or are just more

colorful, black or wear any other subcultural attribute they can think of.

     The third reason of belonging to any subculture could be family issues. It

may be the most frequent of all of the three of them. Almost 65% of people

have or already had it. It could be almost everything: from drinking parents to

disabled brother. When we do not feel well at home, we start to search for

people from other ‘societies’ in which we can isolate ourselves from the rest of

the world. Up there, we think that it is just the best option currently possible.

Trying to belong to certain subculture, means searching for a right expression

of who we really are. If we do not have this possibility at home, that is just

what most of this people do.

     The last but not least reason, is just the simple fact, that you like or

admire certain subculture. You are just not afraid of your emotions and are

willing to express them. If, for example, you are a cheerful person, you may

want to wear colourful clothes, hairstyle or make-up.

     To sum it up, I think that there are many reasons of belonging to any

subculture. It can be your character, home issue, sexual or any other

discrimination that may happen at school, work or just the place you live in. It

can also be the most simple, your admiration or fascination towards certain

‘society’. In my opinion, subcultures are something which people join to express

their emotions or point of view. Sometimes, it can help them open their selves

to the world, but sometimes, it makes them feel even more lonely than ever

before.

                                                                                6
Social websites – where they come from and
           what they were created for?

     Young people more and more often register on numerous social
websites, the amount of which is growing larger and larger. Facebook,
Twitter, deviantART have became part of our everyday life. We excuse
ourselves that we use them to keep in touch with our friends, but is this
the only reason? Many teenagers got addicted to some social websites or
the not very intelligent applications supported by them. But who invented
them and did he suspect how far that will go? I would like to present you
a short history of four popular websites.




                                                                   Facebook.




      Firstly Facebook. It was created by Mark Zuckerberg, at first for
the Harvard University students, and launched in 2004, when its author
was 19. Then, with the help of his roommate, he expanded in on the other
universities and then its popularity spontaneously developed. During its
activity up to now, it has been changed many times. In 2007 Microsoft
bought 1,6% of Facebook’s share for 240 million dollars. Now its yearly
income is estimated as about 100 to 150 million dollars.


                                                                          7
DeviantART was an idea of Scott Jarkoff and Matt Stephens, who
wanted to create a place on the Internet where artists from all over the
world could share their works and discuss them. The website started
working twelve years ago. Now it is very popular among talented people,
particularly the young. It is a great source of art: photography, digital
and traditional drawings etc. (but always remember to ask for permission
if you want to use someone else’s work or at least write who made it!).




                                                             DeviantART


     4chan.org is an imageboard website (people post images and then
may discuss about them). It was launched in 2003; originally its main
theme were manga and anime. Users generally stay anonymous. A huge
amount of Internet memes such as lolcats or Pedobear was formed or
popularized (or both) on 4chan. The site's "Random" board, which is also
known as "/b/", does not have almost any rules on posted content. English
portal gawker.com once jokingly said: "reading /b/ will melt your brain".




                                                                        8
4chan



     There will always be as many points of view on social websites as
many people knowing them. We cannot judge them all at once, because
each of them is different. Some are better for us than the others (for
example, deviantART may help in developing creativity and imagination)
and some are worse (people have recently started to blame Facebook for
worse brain condition (teenagers cannot study as hard as their
classmates who do not have an account) and creating a self-centered
personality). So when you wonder about joining one of them, consider also
how it will affect your mentality.

                                                                        9
MEME?! What the [...] is this!?

I used italics for web addresses, because I
think they should be distinguished somehow
in such an article.
                      According to Wikipedia, an Internet meme
                   is “an idea that is propagated through
                   the World Wide Web. The idea may take
                   the form of a hyperlink, video, picture,
                   website or just a word or phrase, such as
                   intentionally misspelling the word "more" as
                   "moar" or "the" as "teh". The meme may
                   spread from person to person via social
                   networks, blogs, direct email, news sources,
                   or other web-based services”. In the
                   deviantART.com society meme is seen as an
                   image with text and blank spaces for other
                   users to fill in, almost always with drawings. It
                   looks like this on the left side of the page.
                   Other types of meme may be found e. g. on
                   knowyourmeme.com (a website “dedicated to
                   documenting Internet phenomena”) or
                   tumblr.com. On Polish sites, memes are not
                   very popular yet, but they gain popularity fast.
                   The most known (in my opinion, of course) is
                   “Co ja pacze?” (in English it would sound like
                   “What Imma wotching?”) , which was first
                   published by “Nie znam się, to się nie
                   wypowiem” (“I don’t know anything about it, so
                   I won’t judge”) on Facebook, then popularized
                   by kwejk.pl and now is used on many sites in a
                   large amount images. It is said to may be
                   inspired by the “I can haz cheezburger?”,
                   which is one of the first examples of the so-
                   called lolspeak (often with intentional


                                                                  10
mistakes, used for captions in memes). Some phrases from it have already
entered colloquial English and Polish, for example “Why U no...” or “LOL U mad”.
The Polish Internet society does not have its own lolspeak wersion – or does it?
The first examples have already appeared, maybe Polish people will continue
the idea or it will just be laughed at and left.




                                                         “Co ja pacze” and “I can has cheezburger?”

 Memes are very popular among manga and anime fans, or keen viewers of some series
(for example Glee, Merlin or Sherlock). They are used to express people’s point of
view on the plot (or how they would like to change it) or remind moments which they
appreciate. This form of opinion and – somehow – art will not collapse soon. Maybe it
will become useful some day, or just comprehensible for everyone?

I used fragments of the article about memes on Gazeta Wyborcza’s website
(http://technologie.gazeta.pl/internet/1,104530,10861361,Memotechnika__co_ja_pacze_.ht
ml).

YOGA-a sport for everyone

                                      At the bottom of the ocean, on the seabed, in
                                  an inaccessible and secret place, Shiva had been
                                  trying to teach his wife Uma the fundamental
                                  practices of Yoga. Unfortunately, while he was
                                  talking, she fell asleep. In the water there was a
                                  large fish and it listened to the lessons with rapt
                                  attention. When angry Shiva shouted at his wife:
                                  "Are you listening to me?!", he got a strong answer
                                  "Yes, my lord.". It came from the belly of the fish.

       Shiva realized that the fish had learnt Yoga and he decided to give up on
teaching Uma and transformed the fish into Matsyendra, Lord of the Fishes. It is
believed that all the yogic teachings which are now in existence have come from
Matsyendra.

        Why is actually yoga meant to be kind of sport for everyone? You can say
that you prefer football and that is your department. But Yoga is not just sport. It is
a way which shows you how to feel your body and move it at once. No matter if you
have never done any sport or whatever you have chosen was a miss. Yoga can change
your thinking, feeling, your body. Practicing Yoga can help you to feel more in touch
with yourself.

        It is incredible how everything what we eat, what we wear, the way we move
influence our life. It requires a lot of concentration therefore it may be very
challenging no matter what age you are. Throw all thoughts, forget about mobiles
and other modern gadgets. One of the most important things is to learn how to relax.
Yogis teach that the mind and the body are one, they interrelate with each other.

        The origins of the system remain a mystery. It used to be a discipline for the
chosen ones only. But times have changed and it is accessible to other people as well.
It has been captured the whole the world and it can be a lifestyle, a way of thinking,
a hobby, a job, or sport for everyone.

                                                                                     12

Vegetarianism – what can I think
                 about it?

     Is vegetarianism a good or a bad thing? Opinions on this topic are

extremely divided. Almost every person thinks differently. But what are

its real pros and cons?

     On the one hand, some people claim that it is a very unnatural diet

and should be worldwide forbidden. It does not require meat, so,

consequently, does not give our body a chance to grow. The specialists

from the Indiana Scientific Circle said, that almost 80% of vegetarians

live shorter than people on ‘normal’ diet. For example, a model, Cindy

Rowland, died because of not enough ‘strong’ food in her organism.

     Secondly, parents that make their children not eat meat, can lead

them to some serious problems with bones, their height and health.

People, especially young, need a good portion of animal food delivered to

their organism. It is scientifically proven, that people who were on

vegetarian diet as children, are lower than people on a ‘meat’ diet.

     On the other hand, some people feel that eating animals’ meat is

almost equal to murdering them. They claim that animals have the same

right to live, as us, human beings. They want people to stop eating meat

and try to live in ‘peace’ with animals.

                                                                       14
Some people say, that vegetarian diet does include a substitute for

meat that has almost the same values as the ‘forbidden’ one and can be

even healthier. They claim, that there is no difference for our health

between food from ’normal’ diet and the vegetarian one . The American

Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada stated that ‘a properly

planned vegetarian diet is healthful, nutritionally adequate, and provides

health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases.’.

     Although both sides of the argument are extremely convincing, I

think that vegetarianism is not a diet I would choose for myself, not to

mention my children. I feel that even though many people thinks

differently, I would not really be satisfied if I risked my health. I

believe that humans were born to eat meat and that is how the world has

been made, so I do not see a point in ruining all this harmony to feel good

about oneself.

                                                                         15
Alternative medicine – to treat or not to treat?
That is the question!

     Nowadays alternative medicine becomes more and more popular.
Acupuncture, acupressure, herbal treatment... Everyone has heard about it.
But there is one important question – is it working or not?
                                  A discussion on alternative medicine reveals
                              opposing points of view. Let us have a look at
                              both sides of the question.
                                    Some people say that alternative medicine is
                               the best thing in the world. For example,
                               herbalists – they are prepared to spend more
                               time with patients than modern doctors, so they
                               can treat them as individuals. Moreover,
                               alternative medicine could not damage your
                               organism, because everything comes from
nature. Another also important argument is that much of the so-called
alternative medicine is harmless and not dangerous. Acupuncture is the best
example – it is about inserting fine needles at selected points in the body to
cure illness, like a headache. Of course, some people are afraid of needles, but
acupuncture does not hurt and after that many patients feel better and feel
the need to see the doctor less often.
     On the other hand, there are a few disadvantages of alternative medicine.
To start with, it is questionable if alternative medicine does work at all. The
effects depend not only on drugs, but also on our organism’s predispositions.
Someone can be treated with herbs, someone else is allergic to them or herbs
just do not work.
    What is more, serious diseases like cancer cannot be cured with the help
of alternative medicine – they can only aggravate symptoms. After all, the
world is full of scammers who are “healing” using “alternative medicine”.
      To sum up, it is difficult to take a side in the discussion about
effectiveness of alternative medicine, as both types of arguments seem to be
very convincing.
     But if I had to formulate my opinion, it would be like that: why not to try
the treatment provided by alternative medicine? It is the possibility that it will
not help you, but certainly it will not hurt you.

                                                                                16
Tolerance- why is it so important?

        If we want to define tolerance, it is a fair, objective, and permissive
attitude toward opinions and practices that differs from one to another. But
basically it is a key factor to build a community. Without tolerance there is
no sense in our existence.

        To start with, I have chosen the closest example for me. Let's look
at school life. Everyone is different, there are noisy, brave, keen people
and those plain, unassuming ones who have as many virtues as those who
show off. And if there was no tolerance, those concerning themselves as
"superiors" would destroyed those "timid". And it is not the only rule that
prevails in school life. Appearance is very important, too. Haw would it be
if the privileged laugh at every student? No way. We need tolerance. We
need to understand each other.

        Secondly, globalisation is getting bigger and bigger. People from
different countries, believing in different religions, having different colors
of skin, different types of eyes are mixing all over the world. Only
tolerance can make the process run smoothly and be much easier for those
involved. It may also bring some profits to society because we can get to
know something new about people, learn about exotic cultures, see how
others understand religion, be familiar with new kinds of music. For some
people it is a great chance to find life lasting relationships or move to
another place on the Earth.

        People usually start realizing the need to follow some basic rules
that make our life worthy after they experience something harrowing. It is
like a climax point which helps them appreciate what they take for granted
and see the true values of other people. As the old proverb has it 'variety is
the spice of life'.

         All in all, I cannot find any counterargument against tolerance. As I
said, it is a key as important as love is.

Hug me, I need it!”
                                            About importance
                                           of touch in people’s
                                                      relations


                                  Nowadays, we marginalize, and even
                                  reject the need for touch. We give
                                  only a sexual overtone to touch and
                                  recognize it as a sign of physical
                                  desire. "Touch" has a negative
                                  meaning. ‘Our natural tendency to
touch and be touched is already being stigmatized and limited in the
process of socialization’, as Sam Cowan, a manual therapist, believes.
He says also, like many other psychologists and therapists, that as a
consequence of the following, the phenomenon of "skin hunger"
appears. The point is that the human body begins to suffer, not having
received the adequate dose of touch. "We are social beings, conscious
enough to appreciate the power of touch", says Reid Mihalko, a
masseur, the founder and organizer of the Cuddle-Party, which we will
write about later in the article.
     The modern model of life does not include, or even exclude the
need for a close contact. According to Marnii Robinson, the author of
"Cupid's Poisoned Arrow", that is the cause of unhappiness nowadays.
The reward system in our brain tells us constantly to look for
something that will fill in the empty space of proximity. We invent
various replacements but they only deceive our mind. The touch of a
close, trusted person really can release the neurochemical cocktail
within our body - "the cure for all evil".
     As intelligent beings, while forming and mantaining relationships,
we need to touch. Everybody looks for erotic overtone in our culture.
We need to touch to build up, to comfort the other person or even to
show that we are close, to give energy and strength. Nothing like a
small gesture, but something that really stimulates our body and mind.
The gesture shows that we need others, and we are needed. It may
heal relationships, heal the spirit, heal the body. All because of this

                                                                     18
only by mere touching.
      The Cuddle-Party was mentioned in the previous part f the
article. Its initiator is Reid Mihalko and his partner, Marcia Baczynski,
the therapist carrying out workshops on emotions. However, what is
the "Cuddle-Party" all about?
     Well, this is a social game designed for adults which results in
physical, social and emotional well-being of participants. It helps with
working on communication, setting limits and gaining new experiences
as well as getting to know other people involved. Usually 6 to 20
people of both sexes and from different social and professional groups
take part in it and it lasts three and a half hour. The game is watched
over by a moderator.
      At the beginning, the participants dress up in comfortable
pijamas, then ‘Starting Circle’ takes place. They get to know each
other and are getting familiar with some principles such as voluntarily
participation. It means that if you do not feel comfortabel with
something, they may signal that. People at the Cuddle-Party learn not
only proximity but also how to put healthy boundaries and express
their needs. They get some knowledge about a conscious refusal, and
then about a conscious touch.
      Cuddle-Party Participants comb each other’s hair, massage the
shoulders, neck, hands, feet, hug, hug, stroke, they may jointly speak,
read, doze off. At the end of the event, they gather in the Closing
Circle and thank each other.
     People after the Cuddle Party become more relaxed and happier.
Meet the need for touch, build healthy relationships.


     The message is this: do not be afraid of proximity! Do not be
afraid to cuddle!

Culture – why is needed?
       Nowadays many people cannot afford themselves to participate in cultural
events. Some of them cannot do it because of their financial status and
willingness to have contact with it. But there are also people who do not
participate in culture because they do not derive pleasure from it, and they think
that they do not need it in their life. I think that they are wrong, and that the
access to culture is vital, because it can bring many benefits.
       To begin with, participating in culture may help people develop
themselves. Having contact with culture such as reading books, going to
lectures, they can develop human curiosity and willingness to be educated. In
that way many people with bad material situation can understand that if they
want to have better work, they have to educate themselves. Education and
participation in culture are great factors in preventing social exclusion those
disadvantaged ones.
       Also participating in culture promotes some patterns of behaviour. It is a
good idea to prevent pathologies by spreading good practices among those
people who were affected by social deviations. It is a good alternative to
spending spare time effectively instead of watching worthless TV programs or
playing computer games. It might inspire them to self-improvement. This also
leads to reflection upon their life, and often to social advancement and change
of their environment.
       I do not see disadvantages of having contact with culture, but there are
people who think that there are some. Those ones quickly get discouraged and
give up their attempts to understand culture. It happens because the conscious
communion with the culture requires some solid knowledge about the theory of
culture. It also takes a lot of time to understand the works of artists, and some
people do not have enough free time for it, or just do not want to spend the
mental efforts on such topics.
       To sum up I think that access to culture is very important. It may even
change people’s way to participate in the world's matters, and make their life
easier and better if they only want to sacrifice a bit of their free time to know the
other world.

Beautiful People”, Creepy souls

                                    Hanami Press, 2011
                                        Rated: 9/10


       Just six short comic stories. Just 153 pages with ascethic, black and white drawings.
Just one, maybe two evenings of reading. A huge philosophical message. A message about
what?
     About beauty. Acceptation. Love. Loneliness. Sadness. Death. Necessity of feelings
and relations between people. About today’s overwhelming reality.
     Mitsukazu Mihara is a mangaka* well-known for specific style of drawings with
ascethic background, using only black line without any shading and the characters
presented with details Also, Mitsukazu Mihara is fascinated about gothic subculture, from
here we can derrive many themes typical for this subculture, like vampires, the end of the
world or Frankenstein.
     Mrs. Mihara is using all these things to describe a human soul. A very difficult, but so
touching work of art.

Magic in metal songs




               Blind Guardian – Nightfall in Middle-Earth
                             Virgin Records, 1998
                           Rated: 10/10!! (I really love it!)


I would like to present you one of my favourite albums. It is not new, but
it still has its magical power. Although you may not like metal (Blind
Guardian plays mostly, if not only, metal and power metal), you could like
these songs. They are more delicate than usual. The band was inspired by
‘Silmarillion’ – a book of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, the greatest fantasy
author ever. If we know the story, we can find its parts everywhere in
the lirycs. Even if you dislike fantasy, I still would like to recommend you
this CD, because of the beautiful, unforgettable tunes, which almost
stick to your head and do not come out very quick. Believe me, finding
yourself humming such a song is quite funny, but also feels great ;)

                                                 part moves much faster than in the first.

Magical places in Cracow
Cafe Camelot
                                 Are you looking for an interesting place in
                          Cracow? A restaurant or a café? Unlike many
                          others where food has REAL taste and decoration
                          is original and pretty?
                                 My answer is Café Camelot in the Lane of
                          Unfaithful Thomas.
       In this little cafe you have everything what you want – the
atmosphere, good music and delicious Italian meals, like penne with cheese
and spinach or bruschetta with tomatoes, mozzarella and oregano. Also,
Café Camelot has a big choice of sweets – fruit coctails, home-made cakes,
many kinds of hot chocolate – my favorite is with pieces of fresh apple and
cinammone – and many more.
                                  The decoration of the cafe is worth
                           mentioning. From the outside, Café Camelot looks
                           quite inconspicuous – just a small place, like many
                           others in Cracow. However, when we come
                           inside... It looks almost like a Parisian café in the
                           twenties of the twentieh century. Small, round
                           tables, shabby wood paneling, old postcards in
                           sepia and handwritten letters, yellowed with age
and slightly burnt at the edges on walls.
      It is nice to come to Café Camelot on a rainy evening. Pleasant service,
great atmosphere, the smell of fragrant tea in the air... Delightful and
splendid.

  • 1. 1
  • 2. Hello everyone! We would like to present proudly to you our new magazine (fanfares!): PLANET LIVE! The cover is linked to almost every topic we bring up here – could you find them inside? We were a bit unsure about what to write about and which cover to choose (we had two options), but finally we made our mind (and I hope this is the best one!): we decided to describe mostly some social issues, but don’t worry, we present them rather lucidly . So let’s go through it together. Have a good time reading! Love, The Editorial Team: Aleksandra Czekaj (Chief Editor, cover) Michalina Koczur Zosia Polkowska Filip Sierak Katarzyna Walaszczyk (cover, typesetting) 2

  • 4. 4
  • 5. Subcultures- where do they come from and what they really are? When we say subcultures we probably mean the goth, punk, hip-hop etc. groups. We think of weird people in too colourful or too dark clothes. According to ‘http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subculture’ this particular word means ‘ a group of people with a culture (whether distinct or hidden) which differentiates them from the larger culture to which they belong .’. But have you ever wondered where it comes from? As some of us can consider themselves as ‘normal’, they are sometimes lucky to be ones. Because in most of the cases, people do not chose to belong to this ‘strange’ group. It is often a result of hard childhood or school problems. People that don’t feel well while belonging to one particular group called ‘normal’, often search for other things that will definitely alienate them from the others. It often happens in schools where children do not place much attention on toleration or even discriminate kids that are somehow different. That situation happens in almost every school in the world. Children can be brutal, so the victims of those acts can feel so alienated that they want to express their ‘point of view’ by wearing characteristic clothes and acting like the subculture, they started to belong to. People that came across sexual discrimination, want to either fill in the society or start to express their orientation stronger. They often do the second thing 5
  • 6. by wearing clothes that are not originally made for their sex or are just more colorful, black or wear any other subcultural attribute they can think of. The third reason of belonging to any subculture could be family issues. It may be the most frequent of all of the three of them. Almost 65% of people have or already had it. It could be almost everything: from drinking parents to disabled brother. When we do not feel well at home, we start to search for people from other ‘societies’ in which we can isolate ourselves from the rest of the world. Up there, we think that it is just the best option currently possible. Trying to belong to certain subculture, means searching for a right expression of who we really are. If we do not have this possibility at home, that is just what most of this people do. The last but not least reason, is just the simple fact, that you like or admire certain subculture. You are just not afraid of your emotions and are willing to express them. If, for example, you are a cheerful person, you may want to wear colourful clothes, hairstyle or make-up. To sum it up, I think that there are many reasons of belonging to any subculture. It can be your character, home issue, sexual or any other discrimination that may happen at school, work or just the place you live in. It can also be the most simple, your admiration or fascination towards certain ‘society’. In my opinion, subcultures are something which people join to express their emotions or point of view. Sometimes, it can help them open their selves to the world, but sometimes, it makes them feel even more lonely than ever before. Michalina Koczur 6
  • 7. Social websites – where they come from and what they were created for? Young people more and more often register on numerous social websites, the amount of which is growing larger and larger. Facebook, Twitter, deviantART have became part of our everyday life. We excuse ourselves that we use them to keep in touch with our friends, but is this the only reason? Many teenagers got addicted to some social websites or the not very intelligent applications supported by them. But who invented them and did he suspect how far that will go? I would like to present you a short history of four popular websites. Facebook. Firstly Facebook. It was created by Mark Zuckerberg, at first for the Harvard University students, and launched in 2004, when its author was 19. Then, with the help of his roommate, he expanded in on the other universities and then its popularity spontaneously developed. During its activity up to now, it has been changed many times. In 2007 Microsoft bought 1,6% of Facebook’s share for 240 million dollars. Now its yearly income is estimated as about 100 to 150 million dollars. 7
  • 8. DeviantART was an idea of Scott Jarkoff and Matt Stephens, who wanted to create a place on the Internet where artists from all over the world could share their works and discuss them. The website started working twelve years ago. Now it is very popular among talented people, particularly the young. It is a great source of art: photography, digital and traditional drawings etc. (but always remember to ask for permission if you want to use someone else’s work or at least write who made it!). DeviantART 4chan.org is an imageboard website (people post images and then may discuss about them). It was launched in 2003; originally its main theme were manga and anime. Users generally stay anonymous. A huge amount of Internet memes such as lolcats or Pedobear was formed or popularized (or both) on 4chan. The site's "Random" board, which is also known as "/b/", does not have almost any rules on posted content. English portal gawker.com once jokingly said: "reading /b/ will melt your brain". 8
  • 9. 4chan There will always be as many points of view on social websites as many people knowing them. We cannot judge them all at once, because each of them is different. Some are better for us than the others (for example, deviantART may help in developing creativity and imagination) and some are worse (people have recently started to blame Facebook for worse brain condition (teenagers cannot study as hard as their classmates who do not have an account) and creating a self-centered personality). So when you wonder about joining one of them, consider also how it will affect your mentality. Katarzyna Walaszczyk 9
  • 10. MEME?! What the [...] is this!? I used italics for web addresses, because I think they should be distinguished somehow in such an article. According to Wikipedia, an Internet meme is “an idea that is propagated through the World Wide Web. The idea may take the form of a hyperlink, video, picture, website or just a word or phrase, such as intentionally misspelling the word "more" as "moar" or "the" as "teh". The meme may spread from person to person via social networks, blogs, direct email, news sources, or other web-based services”. In the deviantART.com society meme is seen as an image with text and blank spaces for other users to fill in, almost always with drawings. It looks like this on the left side of the page. Other types of meme may be found e. g. on knowyourmeme.com (a website “dedicated to documenting Internet phenomena”) or tumblr.com. On Polish sites, memes are not very popular yet, but they gain popularity fast. The most known (in my opinion, of course) is “Co ja pacze?” (in English it would sound like “What Imma wotching?”) , which was first published by “Nie znam się, to się nie wypowiem” (“I don’t know anything about it, so I won’t judge”) on Facebook, then popularized by kwejk.pl and now is used on many sites in a large amount images. It is said to may be inspired by the “I can haz cheezburger?”, which is one of the first examples of the so- called lolspeak (often with intentional 10
  • 11. mistakes, used for captions in memes). Some phrases from it have already entered colloquial English and Polish, for example “Why U no...” or “LOL U mad”. The Polish Internet society does not have its own lolspeak wersion – or does it? The first examples have already appeared, maybe Polish people will continue the idea or it will just be laughed at and left. “Co ja pacze” and “I can has cheezburger?” Memes are very popular among manga and anime fans, or keen viewers of some series (for example Glee, Merlin or Sherlock). They are used to express people’s point of view on the plot (or how they would like to change it) or remind moments which they appreciate. This form of opinion and – somehow – art will not collapse soon. Maybe it will become useful some day, or just comprehensible for everyone? Katarzyna Walaszczyk I used fragments of the article about memes on Gazeta Wyborcza’s website (http://technologie.gazeta.pl/internet/1,104530,10861361,Memotechnika__co_ja_pacze_.ht ml). Sources of the images: The Bleach meme: deviantart.com, aj-chan’s account (aj-chan.deviantart.com) “Co ja pacze?”: http://kwejk.pl/obrazek/689626/co,ja,pacze.html „I can has cheezburger?”: knowyourmeme.com 11
  • 12. YOGA-a sport for everyone At the bottom of the ocean, on the seabed, in an inaccessible and secret place, Shiva had been trying to teach his wife Uma the fundamental practices of Yoga. Unfortunately, while he was talking, she fell asleep. In the water there was a large fish and it listened to the lessons with rapt attention. When angry Shiva shouted at his wife: "Are you listening to me?!", he got a strong answer "Yes, my lord.". It came from the belly of the fish. Shiva realized that the fish had learnt Yoga and he decided to give up on teaching Uma and transformed the fish into Matsyendra, Lord of the Fishes. It is believed that all the yogic teachings which are now in existence have come from Matsyendra. Why is actually yoga meant to be kind of sport for everyone? You can say that you prefer football and that is your department. But Yoga is not just sport. It is a way which shows you how to feel your body and move it at once. No matter if you have never done any sport or whatever you have chosen was a miss. Yoga can change your thinking, feeling, your body. Practicing Yoga can help you to feel more in touch with yourself. It is incredible how everything what we eat, what we wear, the way we move influence our life. It requires a lot of concentration therefore it may be very challenging no matter what age you are. Throw all thoughts, forget about mobiles and other modern gadgets. One of the most important things is to learn how to relax. Yogis teach that the mind and the body are one, they interrelate with each other. The origins of the system remain a mystery. It used to be a discipline for the chosen ones only. But times have changed and it is accessible to other people as well. It has been captured the whole the world and it can be a lifestyle, a way of thinking, a hobby, a job, or sport for everyone. Zosia Polkowska III E 12
  • 13. 13
  • 14. Vegetarianism – what can I think about it? Is vegetarianism a good or a bad thing? Opinions on this topic are extremely divided. Almost every person thinks differently. But what are its real pros and cons? On the one hand, some people claim that it is a very unnatural diet and should be worldwide forbidden. It does not require meat, so, consequently, does not give our body a chance to grow. The specialists from the Indiana Scientific Circle said, that almost 80% of vegetarians live shorter than people on ‘normal’ diet. For example, a model, Cindy Rowland, died because of not enough ‘strong’ food in her organism. Secondly, parents that make their children not eat meat, can lead them to some serious problems with bones, their height and health. People, especially young, need a good portion of animal food delivered to their organism. It is scientifically proven, that people who were on vegetarian diet as children, are lower than people on a ‘meat’ diet. On the other hand, some people feel that eating animals’ meat is almost equal to murdering them. They claim that animals have the same right to live, as us, human beings. They want people to stop eating meat and try to live in ‘peace’ with animals. 14
  • 15. Some people say, that vegetarian diet does include a substitute for meat that has almost the same values as the ‘forbidden’ one and can be even healthier. They claim, that there is no difference for our health between food from ’normal’ diet and the vegetarian one . The American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada stated that ‘a properly planned vegetarian diet is healthful, nutritionally adequate, and provides health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases.’. Although both sides of the argument are extremely convincing, I think that vegetarianism is not a diet I would choose for myself, not to mention my children. I feel that even though many people thinks differently, I would not really be satisfied if I risked my health. I believe that humans were born to eat meat and that is how the world has been made, so I do not see a point in ruining all this harmony to feel good about oneself. Michalina Koczur 15
  • 16. Alternative medicine – to treat or not to treat? That is the question! Nowadays alternative medicine becomes more and more popular. Acupuncture, acupressure, herbal treatment... Everyone has heard about it. But there is one important question – is it working or not? A discussion on alternative medicine reveals opposing points of view. Let us have a look at both sides of the question. Some people say that alternative medicine is the best thing in the world. For example, herbalists – they are prepared to spend more time with patients than modern doctors, so they can treat them as individuals. Moreover, alternative medicine could not damage your organism, because everything comes from nature. Another also important argument is that much of the so-called alternative medicine is harmless and not dangerous. Acupuncture is the best example – it is about inserting fine needles at selected points in the body to cure illness, like a headache. Of course, some people are afraid of needles, but acupuncture does not hurt and after that many patients feel better and feel the need to see the doctor less often. On the other hand, there are a few disadvantages of alternative medicine. To start with, it is questionable if alternative medicine does work at all. The effects depend not only on drugs, but also on our organism’s predispositions. Someone can be treated with herbs, someone else is allergic to them or herbs just do not work. What is more, serious diseases like cancer cannot be cured with the help of alternative medicine – they can only aggravate symptoms. After all, the world is full of scammers who are “healing” using “alternative medicine”. To sum up, it is difficult to take a side in the discussion about effectiveness of alternative medicine, as both types of arguments seem to be very convincing. But if I had to formulate my opinion, it would be like that: why not to try the treatment provided by alternative medicine? It is the possibility that it will not help you, but certainly it will not hurt you. Aleksandra Czekaj III E 16
  • 17. Tolerance- why is it so important? If we want to define tolerance, it is a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward opinions and practices that differs from one to another. But basically it is a key factor to build a community. Without tolerance there is no sense in our existence. To start with, I have chosen the closest example for me. Let's look at school life. Everyone is different, there are noisy, brave, keen people and those plain, unassuming ones who have as many virtues as those who show off. And if there was no tolerance, those concerning themselves as "superiors" would destroyed those "timid". And it is not the only rule that prevails in school life. Appearance is very important, too. Haw would it be if the privileged laugh at every student? No way. We need tolerance. We need to understand each other. Secondly, globalisation is getting bigger and bigger. People from different countries, believing in different religions, having different colors of skin, different types of eyes are mixing all over the world. Only tolerance can make the process run smoothly and be much easier for those involved. It may also bring some profits to society because we can get to know something new about people, learn about exotic cultures, see how others understand religion, be familiar with new kinds of music. For some people it is a great chance to find life lasting relationships or move to another place on the Earth. People usually start realizing the need to follow some basic rules that make our life worthy after they experience something harrowing. It is like a climax point which helps them appreciate what they take for granted and see the true values of other people. As the old proverb has it 'variety is the spice of life'. All in all, I cannot find any counterargument against tolerance. As I said, it is a key as important as love is. Zosia Polkowska III E 17
  • 18. Hug me, I need it!” About importance of touch in people’s relations Nowadays, we marginalize, and even reject the need for touch. We give only a sexual overtone to touch and recognize it as a sign of physical desire. "Touch" has a negative meaning. ‘Our natural tendency to touch and be touched is already being stigmatized and limited in the process of socialization’, as Sam Cowan, a manual therapist, believes. He says also, like many other psychologists and therapists, that as a consequence of the following, the phenomenon of "skin hunger" appears. The point is that the human body begins to suffer, not having received the adequate dose of touch. "We are social beings, conscious enough to appreciate the power of touch", says Reid Mihalko, a masseur, the founder and organizer of the Cuddle-Party, which we will write about later in the article. The modern model of life does not include, or even exclude the need for a close contact. According to Marnii Robinson, the author of "Cupid's Poisoned Arrow", that is the cause of unhappiness nowadays. The reward system in our brain tells us constantly to look for something that will fill in the empty space of proximity. We invent various replacements but they only deceive our mind. The touch of a close, trusted person really can release the neurochemical cocktail within our body - "the cure for all evil". As intelligent beings, while forming and mantaining relationships, we need to touch. Everybody looks for erotic overtone in our culture. We need to touch to build up, to comfort the other person or even to show that we are close, to give energy and strength. Nothing like a small gesture, but something that really stimulates our body and mind. The gesture shows that we need others, and we are needed. It may heal relationships, heal the spirit, heal the body. All because of this 18

Its initiator is Reid Mihalko and his partner, Marcia Baczynski, the therapist carrying out workshops on emotions. However, what is the "Cuddle-Party" all about? Well, this is a social game designed for adults which results in physical, social and emotional well-being of participants. It helps with working on communication, setting limits and gaining new experiences as well as getting to know other people involved. Usually 6 to 20 people of both sexes and from different social and professional groups take part in it and it lasts three and a half hour. The game is watched over by a moderator. At the beginning, the participants dress up in comfortable pijamas, then ‘Starting Circle’ takes place. They get to know each other and are getting familiar with some principles such as voluntarily participation. It means that if you do not feel comfortabel with something, they may signal that. People at the Cuddle-Party learn not only proximity but also how to put healthy boundaries and express their needs. They get some knowledge about a conscious refusal, and then about a conscious touch. Cuddle-Party Participants comb each other’s hair, massage the shoulders, neck, hands, feet, hug, hug, stroke, they may jointly speak, read, doze off. At the end of the event, they gather in the Closing Circle and thank each other. People after the Cuddle Party become more relaxed and happier. Meet the need for touch, build healthy relationships. The message is this: do not be afraid of proximity! Do not be afraid to cuddle!

  • 20. Culture – why is needed? Nowadays many people cannot afford themselves to participate in cultural events. Some of them cannot do it because of their financial status and willingness to have contact with it. But there are also people who do not participate in culture because they do not derive pleasure from it, and they think that they do not need it in their life. I think that they are wrong, and that the access to culture is vital, because it can bring many benefits. To begin with, participating in culture may help people develop themselves. Having contact with culture such as reading books, going to lectures, they can develop human curiosity and willingness to be educated. In that way many people with bad material situation can understand that if they want to have better work, they have to educate themselves. Education and participation in culture are great factors in preventing social exclusion those disadvantaged ones. Also participating in culture promotes some patterns of behaviour. It is a good idea to prevent pathologies by spreading good practices among those people who were affected by social deviations. It is a good alternative to spending spare time effectively instead of watching worthless TV programs or playing computer games. It might inspire them to self-improvement. This also leads to reflection upon their life, and often to social advancement and change of their environment. I do not see disadvantages of having contact with culture, but there are people who think that there are some. Those ones quickly get discouraged and give up their attempts to understand culture. It happens because the conscious communion with the culture requires some solid knowledge about the theory of culture. It also takes a lot of time to understand the works of artists, and some people do not have enough free time for it, or just do not want to spend the mental efforts on such topics. To sum up I think that access to culture is very important. It may even change people’s way to participate in the world's matters, and make their life easier and better if they only want to sacrifice a bit of their free time to know the other world.

  • 22. Beautiful People”, Creepy souls „Beautiful people” Mitsukazu Mihara Hanami Press, 2011 Rated: 9/10 Just six short comic stories. Just 153 pages with ascethic, black and white drawings. Just one, maybe two evenings of reading. A huge philosophical message. A message about what? About beauty. Acceptation. Love. Loneliness. Sadness. Death. Necessity of feelings and relations between people. About today’s overwhelming reality. Mitsukazu Mihara is a mangaka* well-known for specific style of drawings with ascethic background, using only black line without any shading and the characters presented with details Also, Mitsukazu Mihara is fascinated about gothic subculture, from here we can derrive many themes typical for this subculture, like vampires, the end of the world or Frankenstein. Mrs. Mihara is using all these things to describe a human soul. A very difficult, but so touching work of art. Aleksandra Czekaj III E * - artist who draw Japanese comics called „manga” 22
  • 23. Magic in metal songs Blind Guardian – Nightfall in Middle-Earth Virgin Records, 1998 Rated: 10/10!! (I really love it!) I would like to present you one of my favourite albums. It is not new, but it still has its magical power. Although you may not like metal (Blind Guardian plays mostly, if not only, metal and power metal), you could like these songs. They are more delicate than usual. The band was inspired by ‘Silmarillion’ – a book of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, the greatest fantasy author ever. If we know the story, we can find its parts everywhere in the lirycs. Even if you dislike fantasy, I still would like to recommend you this CD, because of the beautiful, unforgettable tunes, which almost stick to your head and do not come out very quick. Believe me, finding yourself humming such a song is quite funny, but also feels great ;) Katarzyna Walaszczyk 23

In the first part, viewers could only see images of London, while in the second, Sherlock moves to many European cities. Secondly, the action in the second part moves much faster than in the first. Because of that movie is more dynamic, but Sherlock is no longer purely having an intellectual duel, but rather is running in a hail of bullets and trying to prevent further explosions. The detective is more like one Sherlock Holmes – of modern superheroes than a Victorian gentleman. From detective to The success of the film shows that the adaptation of such a story as that about superhero Sherlock Holmes requires some simplification to the plot.

  • 25. Magical places in Cracow Cafe Camelot Are you looking for an interesting place in Cracow? A restaurant or a café? Unlike many others where food has REAL taste and decoration is original and pretty? My answer is Café Camelot in the Lane of Unfaithful Thomas. In this little cafe you have everything what you want – the atmosphere, good music and delicious Italian meals, like penne with cheese and spinach or bruschetta with tomatoes, mozzarella and oregano. Also, Café Camelot has a big choice of sweets – fruit coctails, home-made cakes, many kinds of hot chocolate – my favorite is with pieces of fresh apple and cinammone – and many more. The decoration of the cafe is worth mentioning. From the outside, Café Camelot looks quite inconspicuous – just a small place, like many others in Cracow. However, when we come inside... It looks almost like a Parisian café in the twenties of the twentieh century. Small, round tables, shabby wood paneling, old postcards in sepia and handwritten letters, yellowed with age and slightly burnt at the edges on walls. It is nice to come to Café Camelot on a rainy evening. Pleasant service, great atmosphere, the smell of fragrant tea in the air... Delightful and splendid. Aleksandra Czekaj III E 25
