This project argues that trade is the origin of most problems: from climate change to slavery, waste and pollution, corruption, crime, you name it. And if we understand the cause, we have a chance to come up with realistic solutions. We backup up these claims via documentaries, books and videos that are freely available for everyone.

The french fries probably originated from Spain some 400 years ago.
Fish and chips are a kind of food that was introduced in England by immigrants.
And the Spanish paella emerged from the Muslims who began rice cultivation in what is today called as “Spain”.

Look at the evolution of the popular Chicken Tikka Masala (Wikipedia):

Evolution of chicken tikka masala as a multicultural British dish.[41][4] Chicken tikka was created in Mughal India using Persian marinading of meat in yoghurt and Central Asian tandoor roasting with Indian spices.[42] In 20th century Britain, a sauce was added to meet the British liking for gravy with meat.[12] The dish has evolved further to a taco filling in the US,[36] and to a pizza topping in India.[39] Tacos originated from Mexico.[43] Pizzas originated from Italy.[44]

regarding the Catalan stuff, it was forbidden to speak their own mother tongue during the 40-year dictatorship, and still there are sequels and social wounds since then. It may sound as a weird behaviour, but I think it's understandable knowing the context.

In the same sense that there are many tribes who speak the same language but have vastly different cultures, there are tribes with totally different languages, but their cultures are very similar. I was born in Romania and my friend Roma was born in Russia. Romania and Russia look so alike culturally that it is quite eerie. The buildings, food, attitudes, even the babushkas. But the languages are vastly different.

For example we call this “traditional Romanian food” as “sarmale”:

My mother always makes it for all of the important Romanian holidays. If you search online for “Romanian national holiday” plus the word “food”, you’ll see this dish as the main one. So this is a Romanian dish!

Well that’s what I thought. Turns out that Roma knows this food very well and he calls it “Го

CULTURE CANCER

This is an in-depth article about why groups of people hate other groups of people, and why culture can become cancerous. From Israel and Gaza, to Nazis and racism, we dissect this complex topic in a very simple to understand way.

First of all what is “culture”?

We humans have borders that divide us into tribes. The rules of the division are not always clear. Language? But USA and Australia speak the same language…
Same is the case for South Africa, England, Sudan, Botswana, Nigeria, Singapore, Namibia or Ghana. And some 100 more tribes:

French? Some 50 tribes speak French!

The fact is that there are many tribes that speak the same language yet their cultures can be totally different.

So what makes a “culture” is a soup of traditions, beliefs, religion, food, knowledge, art, clothing style, humor, sport, and so on.

A cluster of values that makes a group of people a bit different from another.

In that sense cultures are not only limited by borders and tribes, but they can form around a topic of interest such as gaming, movies, even celebrities.

I think focusing on these little things, for these little platforms like ours, makes no difference and sense. I can clearly see a huge difference between 480p and fullHD. Changing the world should also keep us reasonable. Should we also measure the energy it takes for you to start this conversation? :)

For now HD and FullHD are very much reasonable resolutions. If the internet speed is an issue for some, I am sorry but enabling one more lower res will put too much toll on our server's diskspace. We cannot afford it.
