Defining child abuse and what it entails
"Child abuser" is a powerful expression and most of us will tiptoe around it before making serious accusations. Abusive parents hurt their children because they don't realize the impact of their actions and don't think of themselves as abusers. Abused children tend to forgive their parents' behaviors because they think the harm is not intended. Child abuse is a difficult issue to tackle because parents and children do not know what it is to begin with. As a result, no solution is brought up to address child abuse and the consequent psychological trauma children face long after they became adults.

The characters' visions and reactions It's funny to notice that Jack and Danny make the same gesture for different purposes when confronted with the ghosts: they both press their hands over their face at one point in the movie.

My Analysis of The Shining (Pt. 2)
Danny, the silent investigator Danny meets someone who shines for the first time To put things in context, Danny is living a hotel far away from everything, which is far from being an optimal environment for a child: he can't make any friends, he's never seen outside without his mother (aside at the end, in the maze) and, obviously, the hotel is not a safe place. At the beginning of the movie, he points out to his mother that he doesn't really have friends, even at their old place.

My Analysis of 'The Shining' (Pt. 2)
Jack Torrance, the vilain and victim of the story 1. The mirror The three images displayed on the mirror, located in the couple’s bedroom, at the beginning, the middle and the end of the movie, beautifully sum up the transformation Jack goes through from the first time he wakes up in the hotel’s apartment to the moment he tries to kill his family.

My Analysis of 'The Shining'
Today, I want to share my fascination for the movie The Shining, which talks to me on so many levels, with its haunting setting, tormented characters and countless hidden messages.

'Doom', the Video Game
Doom is one of the most famous and pioneering first-shooter person video games, creating an immersive atmosphere and entertaining gameplay. There are countless articles, videos game reviews, and let’s play on each Doom game, so I will direct you to those if you are interested in knowing more about this epic game. I am also not a game expert—even though I love playing video games—and I am sure many people can introduce, and analyze the Doom universe much better than me.

How to Spot and Avoid Awful Companies in London
They say that you learn by making mistakes and that you’re not going to progress if you always do everything right the first time. I would add that if you never saw it done right at least once, you’ll never know what it’s supposed to look like, and you will continue making the same mistakes over and over again no matter how hard you try. That’s the story of the company I worked for and ran away from, after three weeks in the job!

I Finally Found a Job in London
Let me tell you about the job I got in London: Legal & Business Affairs Manager at a small construction company. I never thought it would be the kind of job I land in the city, but again I don’t have any clear professional path traced in my head, I never had and always kind of went with the flow.
