OCCUPY WALL STREET

As you may all know, the Occupy movement is an international protest movement which was basically directed against social and economic inequality. The first protests that were widely covered were in New York City with Occupy Wall Street and an other in San Francisco with Occupy San Francisco on September 17, 2011. By October 9^th, the Occupy movement was ongoing or had taken place in over 95 cities across 82 countries. There's approximately 2 500 cities from all over the globe that are also in actions against this movement. What they want is expose the 1% of people that are writing the rules of an unfair global economy that is foreclosing on our future for the 99% others.

Personally, I understand that SOME PEOPLE might have difficulties to find jobs, but I think that there’s a fine line between been incapable to work and TO DECIDE that they don’t want to work. I know, here in Quebec, it’s easy to find jobs and not only for student, but also for adults and that it’s not the same in other countries. Fine!, but I also know that some people are been LAZY and that’s the reason WHY they aren’t able to find jobs.  I am not working each weekend because I like to work: I do it because I NEED MONEY. I also know that I am probably shocking you, when I say that, but I’ve started to work when I was in secondary 4, because my goal was to have a brand new car and to also be able to pay for my own stuff. That MY point of view, from where I am, here in Quebec. I know that between here and in the U-S, we don’t have the same systems and that it’s why I am not the best person to argue with their issue.

But, I agree that it’s also unfair that it’s a minority (1%) of people that’s having the control over a majority (99%). I think that the government should start to be MORE INVOLVE in the discussions and HELP THOSE who WANTS to be helped.

Dear 16-year-old Me

I know, this article isn't about relationships, but I was really important for me to share that with you. Recently, one of my FB friend have post a video talking about MELANOMA CANCER. When I first watched that video, I was touched by what those people were saying and what actually happened to them. We all know that cancer is a serious decease and that as the years are going by, there's always an higher probably of been getting it.

But, do you know what melanoma cancer is? On the site http://dcmf.ca, there's some information for you.

Melanoma is a cancer that starts in your DNA, the melanocytes one. It's the cell responsible for you skin and hair colour. Usually, this cancer is cause by too much sun that caused real bad sunburn on your skin.

DCMF means David Cornfield Melanoma Fund. That men has been diagnosed when he was 29. If you want to know more about his story, click HERE

At the end, they ask us to show that video to a 16 years old person. I've showed that video to my little brother in the hope that he's never going to have that decease. My mother, had a beginning of melanoma cancer, but because they took it early and now she's fine. The only thing that's left, is a long scar on the right leg of 10 centimeters.

Here's the ABCDE's of melanoma detection

This is the video that I encourage you to share with your friends!
