❤ loved the idea of the title of this podcast which is exactly the title of Cesare Beccaria ' s masterpiece "Of crimes and punishements". Three things must be considered basic for a justice system in my humble opinion: 1 the State can only be the administrator of justice. No crime can be persecuted by the victim, whatever the gravity could be 2 certainty and proportion of punishment 3 Always consider the criminal a person who, after having paid his due for what he committed, comes back into society where he must find a way to reintegrate and not to commit a crime anymore. Thanks a lot from Gianluca in the outskirts of Milan ( where obviously one of the city prison for young criminals, whose aim is to yield to change their attitudine towards behaviour in life, is called " Cesare Beccaria" Bye
Another quick note, I believe you are mispronouncing J.K. Rowling's surname. She said once people misprounce her name so often that she stopped correcting them, but I think you should go with how she herself prounces Rowling (on YT there are clips of her pronouncing her name).
Just a quick note, "transgenderism" is a term that's generally disliked in the LGBTQ+ community as it is mainly used by people who are against trans rights. They use "transgenderism" similarly to "trans ideology", to make it sound like it's an ideology (or a cult even) and not an identity. I think it's unfortunate that you would use this term. I recognise you tried not to take any sides in the episode, but "transgenderism" is strongly connected with anti-trans views. I think "J. K. Rowling and trans people" would have been a better title. (Please note I am not trans myself, just reporting on what I have seen many trans people say. There for sure are trans people who are completely fine with the term, but many view it as troubling or even offensive because of how often it is used against trans people).
ISIS members didn't want to live in western countries or live by western laws and that's the main reson they left in the first place and they wanted sharia laws like cutting of hands and whippings and they got what they wanted a sharia laws and now ISIS is defeted they want to go back to a country they didn't like the western laws in first place they are dangerous and evil if you ask me...keep them out or they will be living next door to you with those evil thinking
I trully respect this guy ... He trully listens to his listeners ... And this channel is underrated.. i love .. absolutely admire and love this channnel
I know situation in Paris and London from the safety on the streets, especially in the evenings. Nothing pleasant😮 Equally and differences are the most important in both cities and countries🥴
Hello,sir. As a non native speaker,is "Shadowing" method good practice for speaking English? If that so, what about I practise your episodes for my English speaking journey?
Luke, in my eyes, you are stunning. I'm proud to have you as my English teacher. I'm listening to ur podcasts, the credit goes to u for becoming my guide in this English learning journey
It's the first time I know the name of Robert Fortune.As a Chinese,I have learnt Opium Wars and our huge losses several times but never heard of this botanist behind the East India Company.For us, he's definitely a thief accelerating the invasion of colonists.But I have to admit that his wisdom impressed me. When it comes to history and politics, the opinion always depends on which side we stand, so I believe his success is meaningful for the British tea lovers.( but still personally criticize all warmonger!)
Thanks for this great video. A sedentary lifestyle and a diet with processed foods are the chief reasons for accelerating obesity rates in every country. In Vietnam, it was seldom to see an overweight kid back in the 1990s due to the poor diet. However, it is easy to spot obese children on the street nowadays due to the lack of regular exercise and a diet with excessive amounts of fat.
Hi there. The interactive transcripts (with translations in 12 languages) and study packs for every episode are available on our website. Here's the page for this episode: www.leonardoenglish.com/podcasts/christian-the-lion
I don’t really get the pétanque joke. In Italy and the US it’s called bocce, in the UK it’s called bowls, or lawn bowling. There are slight differences in the rules and techniques, but some variation of the idea is played all over the West. It’s not a uniquely French thing.
Hello Alicter, thank you for the episode. It was very interesting. I am looking forward to the next episode about e-cigarets which became very popular around the globe like they were the cure to traditional smoking. Are they really less harmful than traditional cigarets? I hope you will try to provide the answer.
😮 obesity seems to be a worldwide problem. Eating and drinking arei the cheapest way to get satisfaction. Globalizazion let more population afford junk food and countries with a secolar correct average diet ( e.g.Italy or Greece) are losing their good habits. It is very sad indeed. Thanks for your story which uprises a major problem
Sir Message from 🇮🇳 I have checked all podcasts really wonderful and it took alot of effort to you to make them I am really happy and I suggest other person to listen your podcast Really wonderful
Once again, I feel very much grateful for having your podcast online as a way to both, keep alive and improve my rudimentary English. I truly love your language, and the culture and people that have generated it
Dear Alistair, I feel curious to know what your opinion is! Would you say that England is a laissez-faire economy country? What about the other countries in the UK, Scotland, Wales, and northern Ireland?
Hello mate, I am a big fan of your podcast. I also suggest everyone use this channel for learning history and learning English. I request that you make an episode on the situation in our country, Bangladesh. You know that we (students) have fought with the autocratic government. During this war, we have lost so many peers and family members. At the end of the day, we won this battle. Also, you can make one about the war that we fought with Pakistan in 1971. I will share with you as much information as you need. For me, you are hands-down the best storyteller.
Thanks a lot for this podcast. I am looking forward to hearing about the last two centuries of Haiti history. The poor western part of hispaniola is still fighting an internal crisis and still paying debts to colonial states.
