  2. I think that these person are not heros but can be examples of courage and determination for do things that we like, for example study in the university or dream job. I think that should spend time or money in production things. But is ok.

  4. I think that they are people who likes to explore different places, surely many of them cannot reach the destination they want due to lack of resources or not have energy enough but at the same time is a good choice to spend the time.

    Personally, I partly agree with Rahsan because I think spend money on useful things like education or to build hospitals to help people is better than extreme activities, for example. However, I also think that people may have had their money after a very hard work so they can spend their money in anything like trips or material things unless they trouble people.

  7. In my opinion, they're wasting their time and money. Maybe they want to prove something or superate their self but Do they think about the risks? First, you have to think of all, then do it. Julia Roldán.

  10. I believe that spend money in things people need, like education or hospitals it´s a better investment than using it in extreme activities that are a risk for them and others who have to rescue them if something goes wrong but also this people work hard to earn their money, so they can do whatever they want with it.

  13. In my opinion it is admirable,the examples or courage and the determination to do those things what really like .. not all of us enjoy in the same way, some of us prefer spent in studies and other travelling for example but if we are happy doing the things what really like is something good.

  14. I really agree with the writer in the last part when he says that they should give the bill to the rescued people, this may be a pity for some people who does this things in a right way and suffers an accident, but if they are doing it in a right way, their chances of having accidents should be minimal, meanwhile, if they are doing this activites,and putting his life on risk just to be "the first (something)" and then also putting in risk the life of others (rescuers for example) then, they really must have to pay everything as a punishment.
    Im still thinking that they are a good examples of courage and determination as long as they dont risk their lifes for an "achievement" or a title as "the first person to climb mount everest without equipment"

  16. I think that people can do whatever they want with their money,and it's amazaing that they could spend it doing trips like that but if they want to do extraordinary things lets say,they have to prepare themselves instead to put in risk the other's people life and be conscious of the situatuon.

  20. I think that people can spend their money as they want but they should be more aware and spend it on more important things like health, education, among others.

  21. I’ve been reading your opinions and I must say I find them very interesting. Some of you have focused your attention on the way people can spend their money as they wish. However, I think one the main points of the article is related to how egocentric sometimes human being are by wanting to the first, the fastest, the most successful, etc. At the same time, it is evident from what the writer expresses to see how expensive it is to rescue people who decide to go on dangerous expeditions without the right preparation or knowledge of the risks involved. Anyway, it is really interesting to see you exchanging ideas in this blog.
    Keep doing it! Well done.
    We’ll discuss some of these ideas in our class during the week.

  22. I think that they are people with much courage and determination but that risking his life and that of others just to get to a headline in a newspaper which should pay life insurance before making an activity risk extreme think it very well. I think also that it is better to spend money on something you really need like hospitals, public schools and not on people who risk to be someone or be recognized as a hero.

  23. I partly agree with the writer because some people are a bit silly to go and do extreme activity that are not really sure and then suffers an accident and the government spend a lot of money to save them. This money could be spend in another importan thing, but obviously that people do not think about that because they only want to be recognized to be the first, the fastest and more. Anyway, we are all free to do what we want. Ornela Zorzon.

  24. It´s a pity to put our lifes on a serious risk for the sake of fun, adventure or popularity. Really madness. A good article.

  25. I believe that people are aware of what and how to spend their money, although I don't rule out that many people waste it.

  26. I don't understand why people put their lives and others at risk to do something very silly. I agree with Linda Baxter about giving the bills to those who need to be rescued, insted of giving it to the government. Milena Gianinetti

  27. Many people put their life in danger because they want a big adventure, but this is not all, they not only expose their lifes, but also, the rescuuers' too. Also the government spend lot of money, time and resourses.
