The capitalism in the arts.

The performing arts are the ones that have dynamic forms and techniques such as: music, dance, theater, and the performance, that is a branch of the conceptual art. These arts have been since immemorial times because they were the way in which ancient human communities could communicate between tribes, as a universal languages that endure nowadays.

Since the global economic crisis in 2008, some governments began to cut the budget of the cultural sector. This cut affected the managing of the: musical instruments, the theaters' infrastructure, the artistic and cultural institutions budgets, and many other issues that have been created a controversy. Discussing this topic is hard, because since it is a cut thought for the increase of the life quality in society; nevertheless, the budget cuts were deteriorating other social sectors, making them controversial.

There were many protests against these cuts, one of them was the artistic circles in the country, but they didn't find a solutions for the problem. One possible proposal that can be applied in order to  have a balance between the national budget and the internal managing of finances, is to low the costs most irrelevant by a financial study and distribute the money resultant in the other organisms that need a strong amount of money for solving their debts. The short term consequence is that it will be a certain decrease in the organisms budget, but in a long term consequence, the government's economy can stabilize in a considerable way.

Macbeth is a real boy!

Macbeth is one story that can be translate in real life, because its characters have virtues and defects really approach to the real human being behavior and existential problems. Despite of the contractions and the antique language, Macbeth is a great story that can make the human thinking grow in terms of ethics and the "cause and effect" law. 

In this particular play of Shakespeare, as I've said before, the characters are really close to the real human being. Perhaps because Shakespeare tried to represent the society, the most common reasons for a murder, and this part of remorse that every human being can feel whenever something chaotic or out of the ethical and moral context of the individuals. In addition, Macbeth is a kind of fable, because every virtue is contrasted with and defect and this set of characteristics creates this "archetype" or "prototype" of the conception of human beings, those ones that cannot take decision by their own, because they are always manipulated by other people, but at the end they are the ones who act.  That is the case of Macbeth, because he was manipulated by Lady Macbeth, but at the end he wanted to kill anyone around him. Also Lady Macbeth is a manipulated being; nevertheless she is manipulated by her sins, because at first she was manipulated by her ambition, but in the final part the remorse dominates her in a psychosis that dramatically killed her.

The Elizabethan english was a real challenge, because all the contractions, vocabulary, the reasons why it was wrote in verse, and many other factors were the main problems for my occasional miss understanding and Alz Heimer attacks, but avoiding some thing, much part of the play was comprehensible. Now, I feel capable to read almost any book in english, because Macbeth gave me some bases for understand better texts.

I hated the language, but it's a successful (and enjoyable) challenge reading this novel.
