The Andrew Show is a serie of videos issued since 2009 by the KKK in which two blond children about 9 and 10 years were talking about "their" views on issues related to race and religion to children of their age. The truth is that the videos can clearly notice how Andrew Pendergraft actually read some sort of sign or telepronter behind the camera.

THE KU KLUX KLAN

Ku Klux Klan is the name adopted by several right-wing organizations in America,which were created in the nineteenth century. They mainly promoted xenophobia, and the supremacy of the white race, homophobia, anti-Semitism, racism and anti-communism. Often, these organizations have resorted to terrorism, violence and intimidation as burning crosses, to oppress their victims.

In the 50's  segregation was accepted in the South. Furthermore, the "separate but equal" was only a half true. Blacks enjoyed little freedom in these times of little racial stability. In 1954, the Supreme Court of the United States outlawed racial segregation in schools, and this decision triggered a wave of protests in the south. Across southern emerged independent klanes. The ancient sacred ceremony "burning cross" became the preferred by the Klan rite to sow terror, but they also murdered and assaulted people.

In 1960, the Klan was born to be the longest of all, when the "Klanes States of America" association was created. Alongside the figure of Martin Luther King appears as an advocate for racial rights and, of course, was despised and convirtiose public enemy No. 1 of these people. The city of Birmingham, Alabama, became the main focus of violence, and the Klan was helped and protected by the State Police making a "blind eye" to the beatings and killings.

In the early 80's many Klansmen changed their robes by paramilitary uniforms, with their training camps to work out in the "shooting black", but fortunately the state intervened and could be dissolved. It was the end of the Ku Klux Klan and the White Power, but will always be there, lurking, as they always were cowards. Unable to determine the number of victims; murdered, mutilated, slaughtered, burned, threatened. the list is endless. Fanaticism is still present "below the surface" eager to jump at any time against racial equality, although they've lost the battle.

Although we believe there are currently no organizations like the KKK we're wrong , these organizations still exist and there are more than we think . In my opinion if we were all aware that racism is bad there would be a less retrograde global level that we have today.

The Scouts

1)What is Scouting?

Scouting is an educational movement for young people that is present in 165 countries, with approximately 30 million members around the world. Scouting has no distinction of social class, gender, age or religion. Scouting in all human and civic values are promoted and teaches you to see the world from another point of view different from others.

2)Who founded it?

Lord Robert Baden-Powell founded the Scout Movement in 1907 in the UK. This year, to test some ideas, he brought together 20 young people from different social classes in a week-long camp, beginning on 1 August on the island of Browsea position in Poole, Dorset, England. This experiment went very well and led to the grown of Scouts.

3)which is their symbol?

Its symbol is the “Lis Flower”, better known as the flower of the lily. The three leaves (or petals) recall the "three parts of the Scout Promise" as the "Three Fingers Seña Scout". Your 2 stars out of 5 points each representing the 10 laws Scouts and knot that ties them all symbolizes the worldwide brotherhood.

I've been in the Scouts for 7 years; they are like a second family to me. With them I learned many things. I have learned to overcome my fears and also to be always ready to act and be a better person. In the Scouts I feel that I can do the impossible. Among this group of friends I have learned to be myself;

They mean everything to me. Sometimes I think about what my life would be without Scouting... Would I be the same person inside? I do not think so.

The Hunger Games

Have you ever seen Hunger Games? If you haven't, we would advise you to watch it. If you want to know anything about the history, here you are!

Hunger Games

Katniss Everdeen, a 16-years-old girl from District 12, volunteers for the 74^th Hunger Games to protect his sister, Primrose. The selected man was Peeta Mellark, a Katniss’ known. Cinna, Katniss’ stylist, becomes her in the girl on fire,

to get sponsors’ attention, and so getting survive at games. Katniss and Peeta will fight against the others tributes, pretending they are boyfriends.

Catching Fire

Afterwards Katniss’ challenge during the 74^th Hunger Games, districts start to rebel, because of this, the Capitol get angry. The president Snow order her to calm the districts because this wasn’t a challenge, this was a token of love for Peeta. But this wasn’t believable and they have to fight again at the 75^th Hunger Games.

Mockingjay Part 1

Katniss is a refugee at the District 13. She is enough worn out by her experiences. She is used by rebels as a tool to join together all districts and fight against the Capitol and the President Snow. Peeta and others were caught by the Capitol afterwards the 15^th Hunger Games.

Mockingjay Part 2

At the Mockingjay part 2; the trailer, we can see a strong girl; Katniss Everdeen. Before she was a girl who fell in love of two different men, but now in this film, she isn’t neither a confused girl nor a mentally ill girl. She wants to find Snow’s dead. This will originate a war between the Capitol and the 13 districts of Panem.

And finally as Finick Odair said “Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the seventy sixth hunger games”.

OTHER CULTURES: JAPANESE CULTURE: MANGA AND ANIME

1-DIFERENCES BETWEEN MANGA AND ANIME:

The manga is a printed product , just as comics and although the word is generally used to refer to Japan 's own creations within the country it is named with the same term both eastern and western comics. Unlike the classic comics, manga is a means in itself, covering both fantastic and realistic stories, and with very different themes, able to capture the public of all ages, sex or religion.

The anime, meanwhile, is the animated way of representing a story. As well as cartoons or animated short films. In to the picture even further is common narrative or graphic content to highlight the musical, It is in the opening and ending of each episode one of the points that never go unnoticed.

2-WHAT IS THE BOND THAT UNITES THEM?

The link between the two formats is very strong, and 

there is constant adaptation of manga anime or vice versa, which could somehow justify the confusion.

And as the light novels have manga, anime has serialized the OVA, or "Original Video Animation," which are film versions of the anime.

3-A BEAT OF HISTORY

The manga and anime in Japan has formed generations, since the mid-50s' to present time.They are as universal as any other art and not far behind against any socio-economic or political change. Manga and anime are always present in Japanese society, they have spruing from the change in mentality that exisists in every age. Since Astroboy to what is, today, Naruto or One Piece, anime and manga have influenced mostly young people, giving them most of the time positive messages, as the idea of "Faito"
