Ryla

This past weekend I went to Großer Arber for a RYLA event. RYLA stands for Rotary Youth Leadership Awards. We spent the whole weekend in a cabin at the top of the mountain. The RYLA was about…

Etika a morálka státu, společnosti a ekonomiky v době umělé inteligence a modifikace DNA

Ethics and morality of the state, society and economy in the age of artificial intelligence and DNA modification.

I was there along with three other exchange students from the Czech Republic, and an exchange student in Germany. There were also many other people from Germany who attended and a few others from the Czech Republic.

All the food we had was amazing! Each dinner and lunch we ordered something different and I cant decide which one my favourite was!

All the lectures were extremely interesting and easy to follow along. We had a lot of open discussions and it was interesting to hear what other people thought about the topic. We learned a lot about ethics and morality this weekend and I plan to use what I´ve learned my whole life. Everything we do is connected and has an impact on our world. With technology growing its raising new very complicated ethical questions that people are trying to answer.

“What is good and what is bad?” this one is not a new question. This is a question we have been trying to anwser for as long as we have been here. Are you sure something is truly good or could it actually have negative repercussions, and maybe what you think is bad has had a positive affecte on something else.

This is one of the best weekend I have had here! I hope to see all of these wonderfull people again! Rotary never stops amazing me with everything they do and I am so glad I get to be apart of it!

Winter Orientation

Thanksgiving was my first major holiday away from home and I wanted to do something for it. I also saw it as an opportunity to give my host family a new experience. The best way I could do this was to make a Thanksgiving dinner. When I proposed the idea to my host parents they said that it was a great idea. The whole experience was amazing and crazy. We did something that very few people if any have ever done for Thanksgiving...

I was very excited for the first day of school. I take a train towards the school for 5 minutes then walk an other 5 to get to the school. On the first day we didn’t start untll 11:00. I was waiting in the class room as it filled up with more of my classmates. Everyone was very nice and showed me around the school. When school started it was not like a normal school day. Instead the teachers put on a preformance for the students. What I understood was that there were good guys and bad guys. There was also singing and music. It lasted about 45 minutes and then school was over. The normal school day usually last 8 hours or 6 hours...
