MEDIA:

Do you know what media is? The media is the means of public communication (i.e, newspaper, television, radio, internet, etc.). It provides basic information to a large number of people at the same time. Media has changed our relation with time and space.

Now we can, in seconds, know what is happening at the other end of the world. We can watch a match or event at the moment it is taking place, even if it is far away.

The mass media has become one of the main instruments of political change. In their campaingns, politicians use the media to try to capture people's attention, support and votes. The media reports on the issues and gives us the facts. But it is not completely reliable. Sometimes the shows aren't based on reallity. You have to realise that when you watch tv, the shows always have happy endings but that's not how life really works. Don't forget that tv is tv and in real life things might go wrong.

The media is part of our everyday life, so try to e open-minded and think things through when you are presented with information.

Mafalda

The character Mafalda — whose name was inspired by David Viñas's novel Dar la cara — and a few others, were created by Quino in 1962 for a promotional cartoon that was intended to be published in the daily Clarín. Ultimately, however, Clarín broke the contract, and the campaign was cancelled altogether.

Mafalda became a full-fledged cartoon strip on the advice of Quino's friend Julián Delgado, at the time senior editor of the weekly Primera Plana. Its run in that newspaper began on 29 September 1964. At first it only featured Mafalda and her parents. Felipe came on the scene in January 1965. A legal dispute arose in March 1965, which led to the end of Mafalda's Primera Plana run on 9 March 1965.

One week later, on 15 March 1965 Mafalda (the character at the age of five) started appearing daily in Buenos Aires'

Mundo, allowing the author to follow current events more closely. The characters of Felipe, Manolito, Susanita and Miguelito were created in the following weeks, and Mafalda's mother was pregnant when the newspaper shut down on 22 December 1967.

Publication resumed six months later, on 2 June 1968, in the weekly Siete Días Ilustrados. Since the cartoons had to be delivered two weeks before publication, Quino was not able to comment on the news to the same extent. After creating the characters of Mafalda's little brother Guille and her new friend Libertad, he definitively ceased publication of the strip on 25 June 1973.
After 1973, Quino still drew Mafalda a few times, mostly to promote human rights. In 1976 he produced a poster for the UNICEF illustrating the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was born in South Africa on 18 july, 1918. He studied at University of Witwatersrand where he obtained his degree of lawyer in 1942. After 1948, he formed part of the resistance movement against the National Party's apartheid.

Later, in 1964, Nelson Mandela was sentenced to life imprisonment for his political work in the African National Congress (ANC), considered an illegal organisation at that time. He was sent to Robben Island Prison, off Cape Town.
During those years in prison, he became the symbol of resistance as the anti-apartheid movement. So, his reputation grew and he turned into the most outstanding black leader of South Africa. He never renouced his beliefs to obtain his freedom.

Many governments around the world put pressure on the South African government to set Mandela free and end apartheid.
Finally, the government released him from prison on 11 february, 1990.

Then, he began to work to create a democracy for the country. He wanted all the races to live together in peace and as equals.
He called apartheid a human disaster.

In 1991, he was elected President and ruled the country until 1999 when he decided to retire from political life. He is one of the most admired public characters in the world all persons live together in harmony and whit equal oppotunities.
