Animal rights

I love the animals and I care for them. I consider myself an animal lover, specially I love the dogs. I used to have dogs, but now I don't have. The last dog that I had was my favourite, she was a very beautiful and funny beagle. I would like to have another beagle, because this race of dogs it is my preferred.

Where I live there are a many animal rights groups, because in my country there are a lot of endangered species, such as Black-necked Swan, Ñandu, short-tailed chinchilla, Huemul, Condor, Pudú, Puma, Pingüino de Humboldt, among other. To me it is very sad, because humans have caused this problem.

I don't agree with the use of animal for medical research or to try cosmetics, because I think that is very unfair and brutal, the animals can't speak and decide if they want to do that. So, the persons should be used for medical research or to try cosmetics in stead, because we can decide about that. Also, I don't think it is right to keep wild animals in a zoo, because they need a natural site.

If I could be an animal, I would like to choose be an dolphin, because I love the sea and I would like to stay in the marine, because it is a very unknown world.

If the animals could make a documentary movie about humans, they would say that the people are very bad, violent and ruthless. To my mind, the animals suffer because of the humans. As I see it,  they do have feelings and probably they hate the human race. So, we should be changed that and we start to care for them.

The environment

In the present, I think that the environment is a very important topic, because there are many problems in the world about this. So, it is very essential that the people know about enviromentally friendly practices. You can learn about enviromentally friendly practices by reading news about environment on the internet or on the newspaper. Also, you can get informed about it by watching channels about nature and about animals, such as Discovery Channel and others.

In my case, I don't have incorporated recycling into my habits, because in my house we don't do it. But in places that they have recycling facilities, always I care to recycle.

Every day, I ride a bicycle, I love it. Usually, I use my bike of means of transport. Also, I use my legs, but I prefer the bicycle. I hate the cars, their noice and the traffics, specially in the summer.

I don't have joined or supported any eco-organisations, because I don't know about these organisations and nor I investigated it. My boyfriend joined to Green Peace and every month he have to give money from this organisation

Everyday I worry not to contaminate and also I worry to use things that it doesn't contaminate. I would like to go to protests about the environment. Also, I would like to know more about this topic.

In our society missing social awareness about environment and the contamination. Also, it missing to learn about this topics. It is very necessary that the people know more about environment, because it is in danger and we must care about it.

The music

The music is really important for my life. Ever since I was little, I have been sorrounded by music. My brother knows too much of music, because he studied a career  called composition of music. Always I saw him I playing an different instrument or I saw him reading about music. The music make me feel very relaxad and in a good mood.

I like many kinds of music, for example: latin rock, funk, pop, indie and alternative music. Usually, I hear music in spanish, but also I hear music in english. I dislike a particularly kind of music: the heavy metal, I hate it. I don’t have only one favourite group. I have many. I like Babasónicos, Gustavo Cerati, El Otro Yo, Boom Boom Kid and others, because their music sound very well and their lyrics speak about many interesting and reflective topics of life.

I had been in many concert. Ever since I was teenage I started to go to concerts. I like to hear and see live music, it is very entertaining. Sometimes I download music files from the internet, but I don’t do it all day. I had bought CDs, but now I don’t buy CDs, because they are very expensive.

In the school, I played guitar, flute and keyboard. But now, I don’t play musical instrument and I don’t read music. I love to sing, but I don’t sing very well. Usually I singing in the shower, it is very entertaining.

I think the world without music, it would be more sad and stressed. The music is joy and vitality. So it is really important to people and culture.

The Euthanasia

  The Euthanasia is a controversial and interesting topic. When I hear

the word Euthanasia, I think about the spanish film “Mar Adentro”. It

is about a the true story of Ramon Sampedro, a sailor, who after an

accident in his youth ended up quadriplegic and remains bedridden for

nearly 30 years and wants to die with dignity.  The famous case of

Euthanasia that I know is this film. It was widely seen, it have been

very successful and it won a Oscar.

     To me, the Euthanasia is a right to die with dignity in the case if

someone were in great pain, with no possible recovery, or were unable

to take care after myself. So, I agree with the teacher. As I see it,

any of this cases are very terrible and sad, because there is no

recovery from the great pain or disability. The life loses sense and

the person get a negative vision about all their life and about the

world. So, I support euthanasia in these cases.

  I think the governments haven’t the rights to keep suffering people

alive, because they don’t know what  these people have felt, the

government owns the lives. To me, the governments should legalize the

Euthanasia in these cases. But in Chile, it is very difficult this

happens, because it is a country very retrograde and

conversationalist.

Travelling

I would like to go to Finlandia and Barbados. I think Finlandia is a country very interesting, because it has an excellent and prominent educational system. This is a high quality, egalitarian and state system. I would like to learn about it, how it works, what results have it and also compare this system with the educational chilean system. Maybe, I would like to study or work in this country, I am not sure. But first I would make a study about the education of this place and learn many about it. Also, I would like to visit to Barbados, because I have seen photos of this place and I think that it is very beautiful and heavenly. Is a country with spectacular and stunning beaches. All beaches are very big and nice. The water is transparent, turquoise and warm. I love the beach, the summer and the sun, so I would very happy if in the future I can travel to Barbados.

The Cinema

Today I am going to talk about the cinema and films. I am going to write about the films that usually I watch, the best chilean films for me, the kind of films that I like watch and how would it be the kind of film about my life.

         I watch more films at home than at the cinema, because is more cheap and easy. Usually I watch films with my boyfriend, because es more entertaining with him. I don’t rent films, because I use the web sites that it have free films.

         The best chilean film for me it called Que pena tu vida and Que pena tu boda, it is of comedy and love. In this film act Ariel Levy and Andrea Velasco. I like because the history is very funny and I love a Ariel Levy, he is really pretty and good actor. I recommend it, because is a film very funny and with a little romance.

         I like thrillers, comedies and films about love. I like thrillers, because they keep me at the edge of my seat. I like comedies, because they make me laugh and films about love, because the love is very beautiful.

         I dislike the idea of made a film about me life, because I don't like the fame and neither a have a public life.

A New and Strange Term

I have three expectations for this new term. First, I hope to the term finish as soon as possible, because this summer is going to be very hot and I want to go on vacation. Then, the idea is approve all the subjects that I took. Finally, I hope the subjects that I took are very interesting and dynamic.

I took six subjects for this term, five subjects are of psychology and the other are of english. Two subjects belong to the educational area, another one belong to the clinic area, one more belong to the community area and the last it is a transversal subject. Also, I took english four, with teacher Juan Luzzi.

I hate studying in summer, because I like to go to the beach and I love celebrate the christmas and new year with many partys. Also, this summer is going to be very very hot, the temperature will be of thirty degrees and more, and I dislike to go to the university and studying with this weather.

The Ñoquis

My favourite dish is ñoquis. It's delicious, tasty and appetizing. I like this dish because I love all the pastas and the ñoquis have many dough. So, I think it is the best dish of pasta. Besides that, the dish of ñoquis has bolognese sauce. It is very delicious, because I love the meat and the tomato sauce. Also, this dish get’s me satisfied.

The first time that I ate ñoquis was when my grandmother prepared it. She prepares ñoquis for a long time ago and I think that these ñoquis are the best I have tasted. She do the ñoquis and the bolognese sauce in her house, all is natural and cooked in her home. When I go to restaurants, I eat ñoquis and it is very tasty, but it is impossible that this dish is more delicious than the one my grandmother prepares.

Never prepared it at home, because my mother says that prepare ñoquis is very difficult and laborious. She prefers buy ñoquis in the supermarket and cooked in home. Also she buy the bolognese sauce in the supermarket. Besides that, to my mother doesn’t like ñoquis, because she doesn’t like many the pastas. But when I want eat ñoquis, I go to the supermarket and buy it for me.

            I don’t know the recipe, because I prefer that my grandmother cooks the ñoquis. She cook every day and she is an excellent cook, so I know that always her ñoquis will be the best ones. Only I know that the ñoquis are made with potatoes, flour and eggs. The bolognese souce are made with tomatoes and others dressings. I can eat many ñoquis and never I bored it.  

My siblings

I like this photograph, because it is very special and nice. I took this picture with my cell phone. It is shows me with my siblings. She is mi sister call Mery-Sue and he is mi brother call Remmy. We were in the beach call Algarrobo Norte in the summer of 2009. We are three siblings, Mery-Sue is 18 years, Remmy is 29 years and I am 21 years old. Usually, in the summer we go to the beach and we stay many days in this place. We go to swim at the beach, to restaurants, to craft fair, to walk along the waterfront, to partys and to know others beachs.

I love them. I think that both are very funny, nice and kind. I have fun with them. I speak more with my sister, because she stay more in home, both we are girls and we have a little difference of years. Also, I speak very much with my brother, we have very confident, but he has many things to do, so I see him less. We are very similar physically, but we are very different psychologically. We do many activities together, for example, we go to Burger King, to lunch with my grandparents, to ride bicycle and go to concerts. Also, we play Super Nintendo and others games. We have great time when stay together.

I love this pic, because I brings back many memories and moments with my siblings. They are very important for me. I love have a big brother and a younger sister. I think is very significant have a good relation with siblings. Therefore, I am very happy with the relationship I have with siblings.

The Computer

My favourite piece of technology is the computer. I use it every time, because it is very useful. I utilize the computer to do different works, to play and to comunicate with my friends.

I use many programs of Microsoft Office, such as Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Office PowerPoint and Microsoft Office Excel. Also, I usually use internet. I surf in Hotmail, Facebook, in Messenger, in Youtube, in Cuevana, in the link Porlaputa.com, in links of music, in links of news,  and more.

I utilize the computer every days, because I have to review my email, the email of my course and my facebook. I usually stay in the computer one hour at day or more.

I like the computer, because is a piece of technology that have many funciones. I can communicate with my friends at a distance, I can hear music, I can see films, I can search information for works, among other things.

The life without computer will be very difficult, because it is a tool that we use to stay connected with the world. Overall, all families have a computer in your house, because it is very necesary for the fathers for your job, and for the children for your studies.

Sigmund Freud

I admire a Sigmund Freud, because he is a very important psychoanalyst. He was born in Viena in 1856 and he died in 1939 in England. He studied medicine and worked very young. Also, he was teacher of University of Viena. He interested in Neuropathology and brain function. Then, he dedicated to psychoneurosis and particularly to hysterical.

Freud created a psychological system with real observations of clinical experience and risky assumptions. This psychological system called psychoanalysis. He studied the childhood sexual conflicts, the emotional fears and the dreams. Freud started with the psychoanalytic therapies. These therapies were very different from traditional psychological therapies.

I like him because the psychoanalysis is a psychological system very complex and very famous. Also, he discovered many features of the unconscious very interesting. Freud wrote many books about his theories. He has many disciples who study his theory. Freud has opened a new path to psychological research and made ​​an extraordinary contribution to psychology. He developed a dynamic interpretation of the psyche that is of high practical value in the clinic. The problem is that his theory has little experimental and scientific evidence. However, he is a big intellectual of the century XX.
