POST FOR SUK PART II: THE FIVE TOPICS ABOUT THE EU I AM MOST INTERESTED IN.
1. WOMEN’S RIGHTS
I am really
interested on why women and men have played such different roles in society
from the very beginning of the history. It is quite understandable that due to
physical characteristics men are perhaps more prepared than women in some
fields, but why in politics or economics aren’t we totally integrated? Are we
not as well prepared, or not as well received?
2. ABORTION LAW
Abortion has
been and still is one of the most controversial subjects nowadays. As a woman,
I may see myself in this situation, so I am very interested on researching
where and weren’t is legal or illegal, how is the World Health Organization
(WHO) confronting this subject, etc.
3. TRANSLATORS WORKING FOR THE EU
(INTERINSTITUTIONAL COMMITTEE FOR TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETATION)
I
believe this is a matter that, due to what we are studying, is interesting to
any future translator or interpreter. The
EU has 24 official languages, and every document, conference, debate, etc. needs
to be translated or interpreted. The EU will be a huge source of employment for
us all.
4. MINORITY
LANGUAGES
Most of the time when we think of a world know
language, or just a way to communicate when going anywhere in the world, we
think of the English language. But in the EU there are 24 official languages.
So, why are some more important that others? Should they all be as important or
is it good that there are minor languages? If they are not as used, what will
happen? I definitely think this is a really important subject.
5. WITH
WHAT AIM WAS IT CREATED? WAS IT CHANGED WITH TIME?
Since we are going to be centered on the EU for this
whole semester, I believe is a good idea to get the beginning of the EU right.
Why was it created? What were they thinking about? Did it turned out as they
thought it would? … And many more questions which will help me understand this
political and economical union.
This is what appears if you type in Google “interesting
facts about the EU” it is totally worth checking some of these webpages
I was searching for interesting facts about the EU a few days ago as well. Seems like I was not the only one struggeling with comunig up with 5 different but equally interesting topics. I really like some of your choice, e.g. minority laguages and women's rights as well as abortion law. Honestlyspeaking, I have never kept up with new on women's rights but I am starting to think that it wouldn't be all too bad to inform myself a bit about it.
