The media often report on current events.
Actual is a term with origins in the Latin word actuālis . It is an adjective that can be used to name something that happens or exists at the time being spoken of. The concept can also be used to refer to the present (the time in which someone is currently).
For example: “Current fashion indicates the use of hats and caps during the winter season” , “The current FC Barcelona player surprised again with a historic performance, scoring four goals in a match” , “We cannot continue to regret the past: we have current problems that require an urgent solution” , “Rafael Nadal is the current number one in the world” .
Uses of the adjective current
The adjective can be used in conjunction with various terms. Current illness is the summary that describes the symptoms or disorders expressed by a person at the time he or she seeks medical attention. When the subject is not in a condition to express himself or herself, the current illness is inferred by the doctor based on information provided by family members and initial observation.
Actual sin , on the other hand, is the act by which a human being sins voluntarily. This conscious act of thought, word or deed that attacks right reason or divine command. Actual sin can be one of commission (a positive act that violates the prohibitive precepts of religion ) or of omission (one does not do what has been ordered). Another religious notion is actual grace , which is the occasional help given by God to man .
In geology , the current period is the one in which we still find ourselves. This period is believed to have begun between 10,000 and 8,000 years ago.
Current illness is defined as the synthesis that presents a description of the disorders or symptoms that an individual expresses at the time he or she seeks medical attention.
Its importance in the media
We must also emphasize that, based on this concept, there is what is known as current events . That is, it is the set of important events that are taking place at the present time.
The terms current and current affairs are most frequently used in the media . They basically work with the whole series of events that are taking place at that moment. Thus, for example, it is often said that a politician is in the news when he is developing some kind of campaign or when he has been involved in a relevant situation.
The current festival
Likewise, it should not be overlooked that in Spain , specifically in the Riojan city of Logroño , there is an important annual event called Actual . It is a festival that revolves around contemporary cultures and their various manifestations.
For this reason, the event's programme includes everything from art exhibitions to illustration workshops, concerts, film screenings, monologues and theatre performances of various kinds, among other activities.
In 2023 , Actual took place from January 2 to 7 , attracting 27,000 spectators to more than sixty artistic and cultural shows of all kinds.
