"The 80s"

The 80s were years in which the world went through some changes in various aspects, such as music, technology, fashion, politics and even the lifestyle of life of the people. During these years the United States became the focus of the world, because it had become a mundial strength after leaving victorious from World War II thereby demonstrating its full military equipament; this aspect was of great importance due to technological advances and future supposed war. One change that caught the attention of the 80s was the fall of the Berlin Wall.  As for the music, it was not a great time because two great singers died, John Lennon (The Beatles) and Bob Marley (the greates exponent reggae), but also it was made known "Thriller", video more Michael Jackson successful. But during this time the music got many trends in fashion, since broke the taboo of sexuality giving the dancing and giving the music a more sensual tone.  The 80s to the present time are two completely different times, although we have continued to go through some changes, but in the 80s it was not so easy to get something because they had no current technology; however we never stop through changes.

Well, in the movie "Invictus" can see a great example of a leader (Mandela and Francois) and teamwork. One of the main aspects shown on the main characters of the movie is leadership, Nelson Mandela (South African President) shows that a leader is not only the one in front of everyone giving orders and directing, a good leader is the that is behind all of the people who were with him, a good leader is the one who always support all around you, a good leader is the one who always shows humility.

Critic Opinion about Exposition of the Group One - "Cantuña"

The exposition of the Group One was about one of the most important legends of Quito, dramatization was good, but lacking something very important, that all group members speak, but they only were based on a person in the group tell the story, the objetive of exposition was that all members of the group speak, but did not so they returned to the boring and uninteresting story; also the costumes took were consistent with the dramatization, also they took a video as additional material, which was in Spanish, considering it is difficult to find a video related to the legends of Quito in English and therefore not questioned that aspect but it was a great help to a better understanding of the dramatization.
