Students of the UNAM Faculty of Political Sciences crean “Making Friends”, an application that will “teach” the young people to be adults.
Juan Mogu and Juan Carlos Ayala, two students from the UNAM Faculty of Political Sciences, created a compatible application for devices Android y Apple designed for teach young people to be adults.
According to him application portalthe tool will help guide teenagers and university students to carry out daily life activities, such as paying rent, filing taxes, processing RFCs, making lease contracts, etc.
The application is available for devices with both operating systems and has a user-friendly interface, and it also has a striking image to appeal to young people accustomed to using applications in their daily lives.
Currently, being a functional adult turns out to be a challenge for new generations, since there are too many pressures from the society in which we live according to UNAM academics.
On the other hand, applications and technology in general have helped youth cope with the challenges of daily life, supporting different modalities to facilitate activities.

How can individuals contribute to climate activism and make a difference in their communities?
Sure! Here’s an engaging interview format between a Time.news editor and an expert in a specific field, which you can adapt based on the actual subject matter of interest. Let’s assume the expert is a climate scientist discussing climate change.
Time.news Editor (Emily): Welcome to Time.news, where we delve into the pressing issues of our time. Today, I have the privilege of speaking with Dr. Sarah Thompson, a renowned climate scientist and advocate for sustainable practices. Thank you for joining us, Dr. Thompson!
Dr. Sarah Thompson: Thank you for having me, Emily! It’s a pleasure to be here.
Emily: To kick things off, can you share what inspired you to pursue a career in climate science?
Dr. Thompson: Absolutely! Growing up in a coastal town, I witnessed firsthand the effects of rising sea levels and increasing storm intensity. Seeing my community face these challenges ignited a passion in me to understand our planet better and contribute to solutions for climate change.
Emily: That’s a powerful motivator. Speaking of solutions, there seems to be a lot of discussions around renewable energy lately. How significant a role do you think it plays in combating climate change?
Dr. Thompson: Renewable energy is crucial—it’s one of the most effective ways we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Transitioning to solar, wind, and other sustainable sources not only helps the environment but also stimulates economic growth and job creation in emerging industries.
Emily: We’ve also seen a rise in climate activism. How important do you think public awareness and grassroots movements are in pushing for climate policy changes?
Dr. Thompson: Grassroots movements are vital. They raise awareness, mobilize communities, and apply pressure on policymakers to take action. When people come together, they can create significant change, as we’ve seen with movements like Fridays for Future and climate strikes worldwide.
Emily: It’s inspiring to see that collective action can make a difference. However, there is a lot of misinformation out there regarding climate change. How can we better educate the public?
Dr. Thompson: Education is key. We need to promote scientific literacy and ensure that accurate information is readily available. This can be done through schools, community programs, and social media campaigns. Scientists and educators must actively engage with the public and communicate our findings in relatable ways.
Emily: That’s a great point. As we look ahead, what would you say are the most urgent actions we need to take to combat climate change effectively?
Dr. Thompson: We need to accelerate the transition to renewable energy, implement stronger regulations on emissions, and invest in sustainable infrastructure. Additionally, protecting our forests and ecosystems is crucial; they act as vital carbon sinks. International cooperation is essential, as climate change knows no borders.
Emily: It sounds like a multifaceted approach is necessary. As a final thought, what gives you hope in this ongoing struggle against climate change?
Dr. Thompson: I find hope in the younger generation. They are so passionate and driven to create a sustainable future. Their activism and innovation inspire me daily. Plus, advances in technology and renewable energy are happening at an incredible pace, showing that change is not just possible—it’s already happening.
Emily: Thank you, Dr. Thompson, for your insights and optimism. It’s clear that while the challenges are immense, there is also immense potential for change if we work together. We appreciate you taking the time to share your expertise with us.
Dr. Thompson: Thank you for having me, Emily! Let’s keep the conversation going and inspire action.
