Do you believe in luck? Are you superstitious? If not, why do you think some people are?

“I’m not a superstitious person. For me, it’s stupid to think that if I see a black cat, I’m going to have bad luck. In fact, I don’t believe in luck. The superstitions for me are people’s explanation to verify those things we don’t understand. I respect everybody who thinks that luck is their actions’ responsibility, but, in my opinion, they are only the consequences of our acts.”

Emma G.

4^th ESO A

“I don’t believe in luck because everything happens as a consequence of a decision that you took before. I neither believe in superstitions because they are an invention of the society. I think that some people are superstitious because everyone needs to believe in something. Some people believe in God, and another people in bad luck, or just in seeing a black cat!”

“It depends. I mean that I believe just in some superstitions, and I do it because my grandmother explained them to me. So, I believe because she was right most of the time as she was very smart.”

PROMPT 1:

Would you rather be very beautiful or very smart?

"I prefer to be smart because being smart opens to me the doors of all jobs and I can get a lot of money to pay the surgeries to be more beautiful. People prefer personality and feelings, so being smart is always better.”

Víctor F.

4th ESO A

"I prefer to be smart because your appearance can change during your life. If you are very beautiful but you are not intelligent, people can be tired of you after a time. Finally, if you are smart, you can get a good job, and this is not always possible if you are only beautiful."

Marina C.

4th ESO A

“I prefer to be both things because if you are beautiful, it is only useful to be famous or a model. On the contrary, if you are smart, it is only for your studies. So, I prefer to be beautiful and smart because it is useful for many things as beauty is in the inside too.”

Eider C.

4th ESO B

“I prefer to be smart because I can get a job very easily.”

PROMPT 1:
Should cameras on drones watch all public spaces to prevent crime, or is this a violation of privacy?

“I think it is a good idea to use cameras on drones in public spaces because the security will improve a lot. Committing a crime would be almost impossible, so people will be like an army and life will be boring.”

Xènia L.

4^th ESO A

“For me, it is a good idea that drones and cameras record the public spaces to control the criminals. Thanks to this, it will be easier to identify criminals, and this is not a violation of privacy because it is a public place and there are many people there.”

Íker C.

4^th ESO A

“In my opinion, cameras on drones are a violation of privacy, but sometimes they can record actions that can help lawyers. For example, if there is a raping or any crime in the street, drones with cameras could help people to discover who the guilty person was. But I still think it is a violation of privacy because someone can record you without your permission.”

Laura P.

4^th ESO B

“I think that cameras on drones are okay for some reasons because you can find some things that you can’t see. However, if the drone goes to a private zone, this can be a violation of privacy. People who live there can go to the police and denounce you.”
