Italki Webinars

Hi everybody,

I have been away (from the website) for a while and there is something new that I do not really know how it works: Italki Webinars.

On the right hand side of the screen, there is like an ad of a teacher, it seems as if it was an online lesson addressed to different people at the same time. There is an option to join a lesson, for free. 

I wonder if someone knows a bit more about it, and if anyone has tried it before.

Thank you in advance!

Balance in the books was not really what was behind this austerity policy because they tend to undermine the way we stay, we write the social contract and we re-engine the British economy in the image of American pre-market system.

I, me, mine, myself ... Selfishness

I think selfishness is gaining ground in our society which is becoming more individual, competitive and less familiar.

As a result:

- there are elder people facing health problems (among others) on their own,

- there is an increasing number of people suffering from depression / anxiety 

- there are people (not old at all) without a "familiar/friend net" 

- .....

What is your opinion about it and which are the things we could all do to change it?
