My Blog Experience!


Hello Bloggers.
Today I’m going to talk about my blog experience.
To be honest I started with this page only for the subject, but every time I wrote I felt very happy. I think this tool is very ingenious, illustrative and complete to understand and practice English, over 50 percent of people learn quickly through this form.
I always been interested to communicate to other peoples my world vision, and know how is this of them. For that reason I felt very committed with this blog, because sate my write pulses.
The advantages for this tool are many, like the entertainment and questioning about the things which deals the post, meet the interest about the people of the class, use daily tools, that is to say Internet, create a new space for development of the members of the class: their communication and knowledge.
On the other hand, the disadvantages of this way of learn is mostly about the permanence on Internet, and all the distracters that we can found in this. We can find every thing on internet, but sometimes that transforms a concern in a greater doubt.
In a nusthell, my blog experience brings me a lot of new adventures, and permits me to create a new space in my life. I like a lot this form to learn, because I improve my english with a different tool. Finally, I met my classmates better.

My Job...


My ideal job represents my feeling about the world, because in this work I hope to focus my energies in a real change in the social structure.


For that, it’s hard to me find my ideal job in the government institutions, or others organizations with social goals. Principally, I don’t like burocracy of the public works, and that can’t keep me alive in my real dreams and objectives in my work.


I always believe the travels are the better form to understand how the world works, and how we can find the possible solutions about the typical several problems of society. For this reason, I want to travel a lot. First, I want to know about all the countries of Latin-American, mainly Chile and México. Then I want to go to Asia and Africa, because their perspective of life contrasts with our: the better form to learn! And finally, I like to go to Europe, and see their way of life, and how they organized his governments for the application of a really, or more close, democracy.

This is not America


Hello bloggers, today I’m talk about my favorite piece of art. This work was made by Alfredo Jaar, a chilean visual artist located in New York.

This artist based his work mainly in the questioning of the identity, mostly in the chilean and U.S societies.

The picture shows a work names “This is not America”, and representing the feeling of the artist when he leave Chile and go to U.S.A.

The work is a secuence of images illustrating the wrong concept of U.S people about his country. We're so accostumed to listen America and imagine U.S.A, but this conutry is only a part of our wonderful continent. And this installation show what's America for the others persons, not the U.S people.

This piece of art was publicated in Wall Street Center in New York, and caused controversy in the autorities of that State also in circulating people of the place.

If you want to see it, this is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-adpTvjNOk

Public Education


Sir Ken Robinson talk about the working education, and he make a several critic to the public education in this moment. Her critic is focused to the lack of creativity in programs subjects of the school, and how this affect in the present and future of students.

He talks about especially of kids, and how they are not prepared to be wrong. This is one of the many wrong things of the education system, and one of the forms to abolish the creativity.

Robinson’s thinks all the children born artist, and they passion be grow if they have a good education.

Body experiences are important in the education, because the body is a transport to head.

The conception of the public education since the IXX Century is for the academy ability; all need to be industrialized.

Subjects invocated to the top: you don’t be an artist, an actor or any thing related to art. The universities decided the system of the education in the world, and create people with no hopes about the future. For this, they not can change something.

Now the kids without degrees played video games, because they don’t abstract in the artist subjects. All the college programs needs to put on subjects related with arts, because the intelligence is interactive. Creative is the process of create original ideas, and they are value.

I’m completely agree with Sir Ken Robinson, I hope you too!

The best in my field.



Hello bloggers!



Today I'm going to talk about my favourite person in my field, but this person is not attached to the government or political science... this person is tied to music, and for this way recites her worldview and inserts political and social concepts, and generates a new perspective in the Chilean music, and the entire world.


Violeta Parra was born in San Carlos, province of Ñuble, a small town in southern Chile. She was involved in the progressive movement and the Socialist Party of Chile. She was a notable Chilean folklorist and visual artist. She set the basis for "New Song," La Nueva canción chilena, a renewal and a reinvention of Chilean folk music which would absorb and extend its influence far beyond Chile.


In general, the Parra family is very important in the cultural scenery until today, and for that I think in Violeta Parra for this post, because indirectly she impacts the political vision, mostly in the rural zone. I like this woman, because she fight for recover the historical costumes of Chile, and she promotes modes to participle in the government forming conscience specially in the poor sector.


The best thing she made is the letter of his songs, for me, "Maldigo del Alto Cielo" is the best lyric!


She continue to serve in the expat communities that fled Chile after the coup on 11 September 1973 that overthrew President Salvador Allende, and work hardly to gather all the chilean people, and do not loose their love for the country.


Violeta Parra committed suicide with a gunshot to her head in 1967, because of her depression over the breakup of her relationship with Gilbert Favre.

My Career


I'm a student of the Public Management Program at the University of Chile, and I choose this major because I think it is a very good way for combining theory with practice in order to generate sustainable policies.
This is the main purpose of my university program. Consequently, the program prepares professionals that contributes to the social and economic growth of the country, reducing poverty and allowing empirically based analysis of the potencial problems that threaten our society.
The program provides me with the theoretical and methodological tools, both determined by socially and culturally desirable values.

My favorite subject is political science. The reason for this preference is that it raises crucial questions about the nature of social relations.



See you!

Health 24

a)In the article of the page http://www.health24.com/Man/Life_stages/748-793-830,23742.asp, I do the most of the suggestions, like drink water when I drink alcohol, eat fresh fruit and vegetables, sleep 8 hours and do excercise. But I don't have any idea of the effects of the alcohol, nicotine and cofee in the absorption of vitamins, and I propose me to take a good multivitamin each day.

b)
- Your puppy fat has gone and you have your own place: The meaning of this phrase, for me, is like a new way of living is come. Your puppy has gone it's like your teenager time is gone with him. And then, the new lives arrived, and the individualist and independent life starts.
- Give your liver a breather : It's like take a rest, a recess in the agitated life.
- Quaff beer with your mates: for me, is drink beer with my friends.
- Stock up on plump, fresh fruit: refers about the good nutrition, and don't be a fat person.
- Do regular hamstring stretches: It's like body stretching, do yoga for example :). or try to do a cardiovascular activity
- Many blokes regard their 20s as their cowboys-don’t-cry decade: This phrase means, for me the form of living of the young people, feeling like super heroes, immortal, and nothing it's really important for they 20s persons.
