IF ONLY THE LIVING LIVED

I wanted to comment this article that talks about young people and their cultural knowledge.

Javier Marías, the author of the article, wants to state that more and more individuals do not have an acceptable knowledge in the general culture of history or religion.

In the article, he talks about the general inculturation, more and more young people who do not have the acceptable level of general culture that should have and the author is 100% sure that if they show some historical fact, or the photograph of a historian or Someone important in history a young man will not know how to answer or have a confusion, so he wants to make an appeal not to leave those important data to oblivion, because it can be a great loss for the study of history.

Javier Marías then comments that not only has the general culture of history and religion in today's people been lost, but the same thing is happening in the art of cinema. The students do not know a movie like "Pulp Fiction" of the 1994 and they comment that those films in black and white seem a boring to them and they consider that it is to be wasting the time. Not only people, today's translators also do not correctly translate certain names from English into Spanish.

Finally the author announces that many workers of the amusement parks observe how when entering the tunnel of the terror they do not know the personages hidden inside, for example they confuse Dracula with Batman, only by the fact that the two they wear a cape. What today is a fashion, in five years no one will remember that fashion.

In con- junction today, we seem to want to erase everything lived in the past, forget what you once knew and learned at an increasing rate and just focus on the latest trends.
