J.L Austin introduces the topic "Speech Acts". He states the difference between constative sentences and performative sentences. Performative sentences are not only passively describing a given reality, but they are changing (the social) reality they are describing. Besides they denote an action. Whereas performative sentences are meant to inspire actions, constative sentences are those which describe something as true or false. Words not only bring about actions, sometimes words themselves are actions. When this situation happens, performatives can lead to speech acts. Words like ordering, promising, apologizing, warning, sentencing, marrying, christening, are clear examples of speech acts. For formatives to achieve this, they depend on context and reception, known as felicity conditions. The performative should have the proper authority, should be understood, should be clear and should be able to be executed. If the performative doesn't meet these conditions, it wo...

I have chosen this song due to the fact that it represents who I am and what I want in life. On the one hand, " Mundo Agradable" represents all I would like to change in this unfair world. This song leads me and encourages me to think and believe that after this pandemic the world will be better. People should understand that we have to take care of it because there is only one world. Besides, we should be able to care about others and try to help, at least donating whatever we can.

Furthermore, I am against cruelty to animals and polluting the planet....
