This is not the only case where we use different batons for mothers and fathers when we judge their parenting actions in public. Take a look at Chaunie Brusia's comical illustrations, which contain more than just a grain of truth. They show how people judge mothers and fathers in public differently and unfairly when they have their young children in their care.

Arrival is considered one of the most anticipated films of 2016. The reason for this is mainly the director Denis Villeneuve, who already impressed us with the films Kidnapped and Sicario: Beyond the Law. It is a science fiction film with Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner and Forest Whitaker, and unlike its genre "colleagues", Arrival is not saturated with unrealistic special effects and does not chew the same story. Judging by the trailer, it is one of the most realistic ZF films to date, and it follows the sudden arrival of aliens. But communication with them this time does not start through the barrel of a gun, as we are used to, but with a conversation.

We all make bad decisions at some point, but players have to live with them for the rest of their lives, because they are immortalized on tape and done in front of the world community.
