It is amazing how much content we can find on the internet, this whole network allows us to keep updated and more and more aware of what is happening in the world. I say this 'cause today, while watching some videos on YouTube, I found a short film that really surprised me.The short film not only has incredible animation features in which you can appreciate an excellent quality of drawing and color, but also tells us a nice story.In a Heartbeat tells the story of how 2 children of the same sex, who feel physical attraction between them. The video shows us as one of the children, he feels completely self-conscious to show how much he likes the other boy, without thinking that he also feels the same.In the past, speaking openly about the issue of homosexuality was very frowned upon, society didn't allow or accept in any way the fact that two people of the same sex could be a couple and even get married and adopt a child.Today we can realize that society has given its first to begin to accept that all people have the right to choose who to love, regardless of gender, due to the good reception that this short film had, the prizes that won and all the good comments from the viewers.This is a small step for all that homosexual community that for years has fought for their human rights to be respected and accepted, without rejection or reproach for choosing to be different from the rest and showing that love can be found in different ways.There is still a long way to go for society to dissolve the large number of taboos and prejudices that revolve around homosexuality, however, the good reception that this video had is a sign that, despite everything, if acceptance has been achieved and the respect that is sought. 

Es increíble la cantidad contenido que podemos hallar en Internet, toda esta red nos permite mantenernos actualizados y cada vez más atentos de lo que sucede en el mundo. Comienzo con este pensamiento porque hoy, mientras veía algunos vídeos en Youtube, me encontré con un cortometraje que realmente logró sorprenderme.El cortometraje no solo cuenta con increíbles características de animación, en la que se puede apreciar una excelente calidad de dibujo, color, sino que también nos relata una agradable historia.Latidos del corazón nos cuenta la historia de 2 niños del mismo sexo, que sienten atracción física entre ellos. El vídeo nos muestra como uno de los niños, se siente completamente cohibido de demostrar cuánto le gusta el otro chico, sin pensar que él también siente lo mismo.En el pasado, hablar abiertamente sobre el tema de homosexualidad estaba muy mal visto, la sociedad no permitía ni aceptaba de ninguna forma el hecho de que dos personas del mismo sexo pudieran ser una pareja y llegar incluso a casarse y adoptar un niño.Hoy en día podemos darnos cuenta de que la sociedad ha dado sus primeros para comenzar a aceptar que todos las personas tienen derecho a elegir a quien amar, independientemente del sexo que sea, debido al buen recibimiento que tuvo este cortometraje, los premios que ganó y todos los buenos comentarios por parte de los espectadores.Este es un pequeño paso para toda esa comunidad homosexual que por años ha luchado para que se respeten sus derechos y sean aceptados, sin rechazos, ni reproches por elegir ser diferentes al resto y demostrar que el amor puede encontrarse de diferentes formas.Aún queda un largo camino por recorrer para que la sociedad disuelva la gran cantidad de tabús y prejuicios que giran alrededor de la homosexualidad, sin embargo, la buena recepción que tuvo este vídeo es una muestra de que a pesar de todo, sí se ha logrado la aceptación y el respeto que buscan.

One afternoon sitting in the armchair in the main living room of my house, after reading one of the last chapters of Piedra de Mar, one of my favorite novels by Francisco Massiani, I decided to turn on the television to continue distracting my mind, among many movie channels and entertainment, I find a channel dedicated to transmitting animal life.At that time, I was starting a program that caught my attention, which referred to the thawing of glaciers and the effects that this phenomenon has on animal life.In this program they explained with exact figures how much the ice mass had descended both in the north pole and in the south pole, showing videos of the poles before the global warming began and impressive images of how they are nowadays.All this impressed me a lot, because throughout my life, I have felt a great connection with nature and with animals, I have always preferred the countryside to the city and I love traveling to places where I can have contact with nature. Therefore at that time, I put all my attention in this program and later I decided to investigate much more about the subject.Among all my research, I found countless news and articles, which gave me even more surprising data about this event. One of the researches that most caught my attention was published on the elordenmundial.com website, which they named "Antarctica, the last thaw". This article shows information of great relevance, even for people who have never read about it.In the information, it is highlighted that the extension of the glacier platforms will vary depending on the season of the year, however, it is pointed out that these platforms are thinner each time, due to the increase in the temperature of the land, They are more likely to break.This event has already happened several times, the first happened on the Pine Island glacier platform in 2015, where research revealed that the water flowing under the ice shelf is now warmer than usual, prompting the ice to decrease to 90 meters in a year, causing a part of the platform to be so thin that it could no longer be sustained, releasing 580 km² of ice to the sea.In the first instance, this event is already impressive, but its causes are even more surprising. When a portion of the glacial platforms disengage, they come into direct contact with the water that is increasingly hot, so that it ends up melting and forming part of the oceans, in this way, according to data from the environmental protection agency, the levels of the seas has expanded between 15 and 20 cm in the last 100 years.Although these figures seem to be little alarming, with the passage of time little by little the coasts of the sea will disappear and if the Antarctic completely thawed, all the sea level would grow until disappearing many of the important coastal cities such as New YorkOn the other hand, the effects of the thawing of the poles also greatly affect the animals that live in them, because when the poles are thawed, the unique species such as the polar bear and the penguins will not be able to stay alive in this hostile environment.It was quite discouraging to find all this information that doesn't require more than the complete death of the poles on our planet, however, I still think that we can always contribute our grain of sand to provide more care to the earth, reducing the use of fuels, recycling everything that is possible and of course informing all of our acquaintances, so that they also give their contribution.
