Here is the second post of a series we wrote in 3sc. You'll find one each Thursday here on Let's Blog. This one is by Francesco Elviretti. “The more social media we have, the more we think we're connecting,  yet we are really disconnecting from each other…” Lately many serious issues related to the brand new technological innovations have been discussed, and several different and discordant opinions have arisen. However, how should we consider a gigantic phenomenon like Social Media? Are its pros and cons correctly evaluated? From my experience and point of view, it seems to me that Social Media has become an indispensable part of our daily lives. It serves as a platform for connection, information dissemination, and self-expression. However, beneath its shiny surface lies a manipulative side, making it impossible to live without it. Its Benefits At its core, social media has revolutionized the way we communicate and interact with one another. It has bridged geographical b...

  The notion of justice often seems so obvious to us that it seems superfluous to discuss it. Everyone seems to understand concepts such as goodness and wickedness, honesty and dishonesty, justice and injustice. Sometimes, we appeal to justice as a god who can intervene on our behalf. However, what we think is right for us may be unfair to others, leading to unpleasant consequences that fuel our distrust. It is as if justice resembles banks, ready to help us when we do not need it and to leave us alone in difficult times.   Laws of Nature In nature, between different species, there is no law. While predation may seem contrary to justice, it is in conformity with nature itself. On the contrary, violence within the same species is generally discouraged by instinct, as it threatens the survival of the species itself. Animals struggle for territory or the right to mate, but rarely do these clashes lead to the death of one of the individuals. The strongest will be able to tra...

The establishment of World Earth Day is credited to John McConnell, a peace activist who also held a strong interest in ecology. He believed that human beings have an obligation to care for the land and share resources in a fair manner. In October 1969, during the UNESCO Conference in San Francisco, McConnell proposed a day to celebrate the life and beauty of the Earth while promoting peace. For him, this celebration also served as a reminder to all people of the imperative to preserve and renew the threatened ecological balances on which all life on the planet depends. McConnell's proposal garnered significant support, leading to the inaugural "Earth Day" celebration in the city of San Francisco on March 21, 1970. The proclamation of Earth Day formalized a commitment to caring for the planet, accompanied by a set of principles and specific responsibilities. This document was endorsed by 36 world leaders, including UN Secretary-General U Thant, Margaret Mead, John Gardner...

Introduction Recently more and more people are gaining interest in better understanding what a programming language really is. Today, I’m going to help you understand the basics of programming languages by explaining it with secondary school Math knowledge (functions and equation systems). To make the job as easy as possible, I chose one of the easiest programming languages out there, which is also the one commonly used to introduce people to the coding world nowadays: Python ! Before starting: I’m “considering” all the code I’m writing as a “superset” of Math, meaning that every basic operation and operator valid in Math is also valid in Python: for example 1 + 1 is 2 and valid in Math, but also in Python, so you can use +-*/ and parentheses as normal, excluding some exceptions like ^, equal sign, parentheses different from round brackets, etcetera, but don't worry, we’re doing basic things for now! Print Knowing what a function is in Math, let's imagine you already defined ...

  Here is the first post of a series we wrote in 3sc. You'll find one each Thursday here on Let's Blog. This one is by Luca di Giannantonio. T oday’s post is about social media and its advantages and disadvantages as well as its impact on our lives. The social media brought a revolution of connectivity and  made communication much easier, although not all the communication on social media is useful. Social media eliminated the barriers of time and distance with an instantaneous communication. You can share and post photos and videos in real time everywhere in the world with only the tap of a screen. This means that all the individuals or organisations can reach the global audience easily, everyone can say is own ideas. Nowadays all the people use it, from the oldest to the youngest ones, and this has made social media powerful. Despite the changes and the benefits, social media have also a negative impact on our lives and our mental health. According to some studies pe...

  Hello everyone, today I would like to pay homage to some of the most influential directors in history, who have revolutionized the world of cinema. Alfred Hitchcock: the master of thrills Alfred Hitchcock was a 20th century British director. In his career he directed over 50 films, the most famous being “Psycho” made in 1960. He is defined as the master of thrills as his films are characterized by suspense created by tension and dark atmosphere and by using the psychological elements. The main plots are fear, the psyche, all the hidden nuances of the human soul, in particular the darkest sides. After the discovery of color films, Hitchcock continued to make black and white films because he believed that black and white films created more suspense and because they were much cheaper than color films. Hitchcock's fear of the police is reflected in some of his films. Hitchcock revolutionized the world of thriller films and inspired many modern directors. In his career...
