BILL GATES

On April 4, 1975, while still a student at Harvard University, he created the Microsoft software company.

 In 1985, Gates was named one of the "50 Most Desirable Bachelors" by Good Housekeeping. He married Melinda French on January 1, 1994 and they had three children.

 In a March 2014 Rolling Stone magazine interview, Gates said that, in terms of his faith, ((the moral systems of religion, I think, are super important.

 We've raised our kids in a religious way)). In the same interview, Gates said: ((I think it makes sense to believe in God, but exactly what different decision in your life you make because of that, I don't know)).

 In 1994, he bought a Leonardo da Vinci manuscript (the Hammer Codex, also called the Leicester Codex) for $30 million.

 In 2007 Bill Gates ranked second in the annual list of the greatest personal fortunes compiled by Forbes magazine, behind the Mexican businessman Carlos Slim. 

Since 2008, the year he stopped running Microsoft, he has succeeded in some projects in order to spread this lifestyle. In this sense, together with Peter Thiel (co[1]founder of the PayPal company), he has supported the creation of artificial eggs based on plants that are easy to grow.

 In September 2019, Netflix launched a documentary series titled "Bill Gates Under the Magnifying Glass", directed by Davis Gunggenheim, which seeks to understand how the brain of the creator of Microsoft works.

 On May 3, 2021, he announced the end of his marriage to Melinda French, after 27 years of marriage, through a message posted on his personal Twitter account. Although they end their personal relationship, they will continue to work together at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Critical Thinking and Media Literacy

  We have always been told that the internet is like a great sea, where we navigate in search of knowledge, entertainment, ways to communicate with others and information in general. But you have to know that this is a wide world where different criticisms are found, it is not a quiet place, we can find dangers of all kinds, scams, false information, computer viruses, even other people whose purpose is to make others feel bad just for fun.  That is why it is important to be very well informed about these dangers, to know how to avoid them when navigating this infinite sea so as not to run into difficulties in our life goals or in general. Media literacy is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and create media in a variety of ways. Just as more than two hundred years ago people could not trust everything that was published in the newspapers, today we cannot trust much of what circulates on the Internet. Thanks to new technologies, we currently have an enormous amount of information

Crime and Punishment

  A. Some people are biologically predisposed to become criminals. I do not agree, that some people are genetically predisposed to be criminals, I think it is something more focused on society, culture and education. If there are no status tools educating its population, providing economic stability and a good quality of life, is allowing factors such as theft, crime, drug trafficking and murder to exist. B. Crime is a consequence of poverty. I totally disagree. Crime in general terms is a social consequence; It is not like this belong exclusively to the low-income population. Many of the biggest criminals in the world have been upper-class people.   C. A criminal cannot be reformed. I do not agree, I think that in relation to prison, rehabilitation programs can be developed. The one who steals is not the same as the one who murders. I think that he the seriousness of the crime can determine who can rejoin society.   d. To reduce crime, we just need more police.   I disagree, I think t
