Podcast 2

Today I heard the BBC podcast about hair discrimination. The title was "I lost my job because of my hair".
When I saw this title I started laughing but after some time people talking in the podcast convienced me that for them it is a serious issue. Especially for black people, who sometimes had to change their natural afro because it seemed inappropriate for their bosses. Some of them agreed but the others not and they startd seeing this as a hair discrimination.
I've never heard before of this case so I was surprised that hair discriminiation actually exists and people lose their jobs because of such insignificant thing as hair.
I'm content it doesn't concern me. Still, I don't agree with any form of the discrimination and I hope the petition about this issue will get into the parliament.

What does it mean to be a "real man" in XXI century?

Although it's XXI century being a man still has two definitions. First, is really old. This is definition for people who think that "real man" has to be in shape, always working or with his friends. He can be mean to women, just because he's a man.  Second, is more modern and means respecting woman, being neat and helpful.  This is so much more true, luckily more people believe in it now.

Second podcast topic I heard today was a world of fake Instagram followers, comments and likes. Podcast called „Fake me an influencer” explained how does Instagram world really works. The first thing, which shoked me was an information that 20-30% of Instagram celebrities buy their likes. Some of them even create fake ecounts, only to gain more followers and seem more popular than actually are. There's a machine, made to give people these fake likes, comments, followers in just few seconds. I'm very surprised how small amount of time and how low effort we need to become „famous” on social media. Also, for certain people it's a full time job to sell these likes! What I'll remember from this video is to not always believe numbers on my screen. Someone could buy them for just a few dollars.

It's quite common to go to sleep lately. Maybe even more of us do that than don't. We know what we should do- everyone tells us from our childhood. But we still don't go to sleep early. It can be caused by many obligations that we have or society treating long sleep as something bad. For me, sleeping shortly and going to bed lately became kind of indication of working hard. I can be wrong but I noticed we started caring much more about a feeling of success than about our health and mood during the day. And even if I know a few poeple living in a different way, for most of us changing bad sleeping habits is only a good plan for the future.
