English language challenges

My experience about learning english at university has been very important and clarifying. I think that I can now talking with more fluency, and I can understand all the text that I'm reading, like for example the papers in the neurofisiology subject. But I can't use the tences correctly. This is the most important for me, and the item more complicated too. In the blog I can exprese myself with enough fluency. I think that this activity brind us as students a tool very important to exprese, and this is very important to our training as proffesionals. And it is important too because miss correct us when we are making a mistake, and the process it is more gratifying because step by step we are making a logical argumental and description about the matter. So, I think that this is the most important of the programme. Also, I can manipulate the most of my difficulty: the grammar and the tences, for example the past continues. Because all the time I try to write in present, and this...

Study programme changes

I think that our discipline seems like a perfect one (and really it is very attractive), but in the deep it  has many problems that we can only see in a retrospective analysis, because it is necessary to understand that this analysys has several layers. For example, in this moment I think that we need more subjects that imply more hours to understand our discipline from the practice, especially in the first years. Another one, it would be neccesary to implement more reading from female writers, because the male authors are the majority, in special the obligatory ones, that imply biased learning from our subjects. Even though I must assume that our career is one of the privileged ones compared with the other careers in the faculty of social science. Compared, for example, with anthropology.  The curriculum in general is one of the best, but it is necessary to update it, incidentally because of the struggles of the feminist movement.  Talking about the method, this is ...

Personal opinions

What is your opinion about legalizing marijuana? Marijuana is a plant. Marijuana is natural. I think there is no more valid argument than these. I think that marijuana must be legal, with clear rules, so that there is no incorrect use of its properties. I think that its properties have multiple uses, which can be researched to benefit humanity, but that they are stopped by the uncontrollable nature that is when it wants to be controlled. It must be legal for it to be used by those who do not have access because of fear of the law. What is your opinion about “barras bravas”? The "barras bravas" it  is at first sight a simple phenomenon. But it is really complex. They are a social phenomenon, in which there are many vices characteristic of society: for example, it is a closed group with characteristics that unite them, there are also prejudices, violence, and empowerment among themselves. My opinion is that the internal organization shou...

What area do you want to specialize in?

I would like to specialize in community psychology. Although I am still not very sure, I would probably take this area because of the infinite capacities it offers to make changes in the social structure. My indecision is because I still do not have the necessary knowledge to decide. I would like to do this specialization outside of Chile, but not outside of Latin America. I still do not know in what university. In the case of not being able to study abroad I would like to do it at the University of Chile, because it is the best, there is no doubt. What made me choose this area is because it carries with it an ethical commitment to those who live in injustices. In addition to being able to visualize a different horizon for the following generations. It is important for my career because it delivers a different value to the common of psychology, what is the clinical and organizational, those that produce a change but at a much more individual level. Finally, it is a ver...

Post graduate studies

I have not really thought about it yet. But I can force myself to do it.  I think it would make a magister, that is a corde to psychology or history.  History and psychology are two interesting courses that can be merged and can achieve interesting research.  I would like to do this study at the University of Chile. Although I would like to do it abroad. In Argentina for example.  Later I would also love to do a PhD, but it would be after having thought it through very well, mainly due to the resources. It would be very circumstantial. But I would never like to stop studying. I think the main reasons to continue studying would be to continuously immerse yourself in new and interesting knowledge to conquer. In addition, it continues generating spaces to know ourselves as human beings. A lso makes you grow professionally, having other contacts to improve the research that concerns issues relevant to society. Although I would also like to study cinematography, bu...

About my pet

Today I will talk about a pet I have long ago. They gave it to me long ago, on one of my birthdays, to be precise, for the tenth birthday. I still remember it in my hands, that little dog. It was very small, and very wrinkled. I called her Ursula. Is a breed of Pitbull dog. At that time this breed of dog was feared, due to its aggressiveness, but I never believed that it was so. Ursula was raised very affectionately. Currently she is the most affectionate of all and is the most loving of all my pets, and I have four dogs. Once, when Ursula was small, she had an accident, from which she recovered soon. When it happened, I remember that I was very sad and worried about Ursula. I'm really sorry today. Ursula is a little deaf and old, but it's still special to me for many reasons. One of these is that it is the first pet I had, and he always loved me very much. His actions proved it. Today I enjoy of it every day because I am afra...

My favorite food

Image
My favorite food will always be the healthy one. But sometimes it is very difficult to get healthy food at breaks. So lately my favorite food is not the healthiest. My favorite historical food has been beans granates, what my mom does to be precise, in the summer, the best time of the year. I enjoy them as if it were the end of the world. Besides, the beans are healthy, and when you eat you are soon satisfied. The basil is what gives a better flavor to the beans that are exquisite in themselves The fast food that I like the most is pizza. Pizza with any type of ingredient, I do not care. Eating pizza is like eating a piece of heaven, I mean it. It's a great experience that we should all have constantly. I know it's very unhealthy but it's really worth it. It can also be taken at any time of the day, with anyone. What I like to add the most is extra cheese, olives, purple onion, tomato, and bacon.  I like the crunchy dough, and that the pizza is just coming out ...

My future job

Sincerally, I don´t know where I am going to work all my life, because I am interesting in all areas, incluided the cinema. But if the question it is now, and I don't have another choice, I look myself working in a private consultation, with many people, doing investigation that matters to society and its problems. A private consultation close to the public, easy to access. I am also interested in doing classes to anyone interested in the social sciences in general, and in particular, the psychology, and this area is one of the most important to me. Finally, and at the same time, I would like make audovisual projects, that involve my discipline (psychology) and the art of creation and also the art of being author. This is the most exciting area for me, because combine the most important to me: society, knowledge, being human, and creativity. I would like make movies, shorts films, documentary, and all that talk about some that it is in momentary silence. This is that I imagine lik...

Image
Hi everyone! Today i´m going to write about one of my experience with a concert. I say one, because in my life I didn´t go too much of this events, but I like it alot. In the last year, 2017, I went to the tribute to the most important band from southamerica, also the most important band of all the times for me. The "cirque du soleil" did a tribute to my favorite band in the movistar arena: "soda stereo". I went with my girlfriend Alondra and we enjoyed alot this tribute, because bouth like alot soda stereo, all the songs that they have and the performance in all the stages. She give me the tikets for my birthday, and that was a beautiful gesture, because expose his big love with a nice surprise. The performance of the acrobats was very intense, also the musicalization, gave us a experience unforgettable, that today make in us a nice remember, and all the time we commented it. The tikets are safe in my home, with a souvenir of that special visit, somethings that mak...

The country I would like tovisit

I would like to visit Bora-Bora, an island ubicated in French Polynesia. It's crystal clear water makes me fall in love every time I see pitures of the island. I would love to go with my girlfriend, because both love the place. In addition the Polynesias have a culture very characteristic, wich I would also love to know. It Would be hard to go, because it is too expensive, and I doubt very much that I can save the money, and pay this beautiful trip. But it's free to dream and I'd love to go to this place. I imagine that it is full of magic and adventure.

Personal opinion

What is your opinion on the social networks and the effect they have on society? I think that we have to control the use of the social network because it is a media that bring infinity oportunity to make some opinions without arguments, and bring some comun sense that is really nocive. What is your opinion on animal testing?  Use animal to the service of science is a hostorical practice, that make us responsable to their pain and fear to the human. Today we have to reconsider that historical position and choice some alternatives more practical to understand our sorrounding. What is your opinion on the idea that marriage is an outdated institution? I think that we have to respect the vision that someone have to some things about our way to see our world, our life, and our society. My personal opinion: the marriage is a outdated institution and make a relationship is quite apart of a institution that only make rules and formalice. What do you think is the best wa...

My blogging experience

My experience writing a blog has been very satisfactory. I have one, I've been working for three years, but in spanish, and it's very different. There I upload poetry and stories, but in English it is very different. In addition, it has been a practical work, and at the same time theoretical, because while we do, we learn, by writing words in English, and sometimes even inventing them, correcting them and learning much more. I think I have grown, by eliminating fears, because it has always been difficult for me to write in another language, and I think I have advanced too much, because today I have realized that I really can, and leaving this fear aside has allowed me to learn more English, because the teacher is very good at teaching, it shows the passion. I would like to include more art, write poetry for example, or stories, or reviews and critics about art. It would be very stimulating for us like students. That I would like to write. Also, it would be fun, and you wo...

A band that I like

Image
I think that the most important band of all the times is "Soda Stereo". The music that they created was so poetic, full of metaphor, that talks about alot of different issues. But the member that make the difference was Gustavo Cerati, and this make clear when he deserted the band and make a solitary career. The songs that he made was similary to the music that made Soda Stereo, and the brilliant ideas shows that he was the genius of whole the band. Soda Stereo, the argetntinian band, make history, mark a period of the time. Their music excite, and make us sometimes cry like childs without a toy. I would have like have to go to a concert. I think that is a dream that never y would accomplish. It is a rock band very important. They grow up like friends, and make music that they loves, and this characteristic talks too much, and proof the closer and the friendship that they achieves, and they music is faithful reflection of all this. My favorite song is "El rito". It ...

A Subject that I enjoyed studying this semester

All the time we study and discover something that bothers us. In other ocassion, we find something that we love very much, that allow to do all the rest of the subject. In my case, I love  this semester a lot because I found my subject, that helps me a lot. It is called "Process psychological basics" with Juan Wilson. He knows very much, and he is a really remarkable person, because he is too close to the students, and his dedication is really admirable. The subject talks about the part of the human emotions, and no rational. It talks about motivation, autodetermination, the part of the human that makes us human, the needs that we have. It is very important to the personal realization, and allows a functional realization to the person, because it changes the person completely, and its whole vision to our lives. It is a rotation in 180 °. I think that all the students must join this subject, because it possibly helps to look different their lives. The teacher is too stimulatin...

An expert on my field

Image
When I began to study psychology, I felt enormous satisfaction to have the subject of introduction to psychology not only for the subject, but also by who dictated it. Mr. Cabrera inspired me greatly, and increased my desire to get closer to discipline. Cabrera is a professor with a doctorate and a magister who teaches classes. He is a psychoanalyst and full time academic at the University of Chili, in the department of psychology. He has written books and articules. He likes me because of his way of being, and the way he dictates the classes. In addition, I feel an enormous wisdom that emanates from him, because he can add books in the middle of the class, and spontaneous recommendations that arise through the discussion. He also likes cinema, and he appreciates it as much as I do, as well as love and passion for reading and books. I would like to know more in depth, although I have not had the opportunity. But surely it will happen. And finally, here is Pablo:

My "favorite festivity"

Actually, I don´t have a favorite festivity. I didn´t like new year because we remember that the time runs very fast; I didn't like my birthday because I feel that it is a common day; I didn´t like Halloween because it is a festivity strange to our culture, that was introduced by world lĂ­ders (outside culture); I didn't like christmas because I don't believe in God or even in Jesus, and I don't think also that one day, one night, we have to keep the family close, because this is all the year, and all the day, all the night; I don't like "fiestas patrias" because, like Recabarren, what are we celebrating? (but I have to meet that I love "terremotos" but they are not exclusive from this festivity). Finally, I enjoy all the days, like the most important festivity, and all the days are important moments that we can turn them into a glorious act, and share all the atributes of the life.

A Photograph, a story

Image
I´m not sure who did take it this photo. Actually, I´m searching in google who was the cinematographer of this film, and I find it: he is a French cinematographer named Thierry Arbogast. With the director Luc Besson, French too, filmed one of the most important movie, and the most gratifficant for me. It is a beauty, in special all the planes, and the history is so much philosofer, in the dipper. This photo explain in a gratificant way  the relationship betwen two different peoples, with demons inside, and love too, so much love. It feels, in this photo, the pain, the love, all the state of the human been, that it's difficult to me describe it. It´s delicated, like the smell of the most beautiful flower, with a color that is imposible to explain with our shallow senses. This movie was filmed in the 90', and I saw more than five times, incluid times that I analys it with the care of a watchmaker. I like it cause the history talk about a relation that is imposible in our real...

My best friend

I have a few best friends, and today I want to talk about one of them. I met Marco ten years ago, when we were in the seventh grade, at the Max Salas Marchan High School in Los Andes. We've been friends for ten years, and we've never been apart. We meet regularly and talk with great confidence. I consider him my best friend for the long conversations, for the amount of advice we give, for the support we offer, among thousands of other reasons. One of the best memories I have of him, when he came to my surprise birthday party in Los Andes, thinking that he was in Santiago. I hope our relations improve even more, and I also hope to never lose their friendship, because it is so important to me, and because we need to grow up like we had said in the past.

My favorite piece of

My favorite piece of technology it is really simple, and I got it a long time ago, thanks to my sister, who helped me with the credit card. My notebook is very important, because with it I do practically everything. I take notes of my classes, I download the books that I must read, I browse the web, among other activities. I bought it too long, so much that I no longer remember it, but it is old, and I would not want to change it for any other. I like it because it has everything I've written for all these years. Because I consider myself a writer. it has many memories, like photos, audios and videos. I would not know what to do if I lost it. I need it so much that I could not continue my regular activies. I feel it complements in my daily life, and I love it.

Why I choose psychology

I think that I need to start on my consideration's about this discipline. This career is very important to me, because in some parts of my life I considerer that my mind, my spirituality, gives efects to the reality and the actions that I choose. This thought gives me the strength to keep myself in the fight, in this way to search the happiness, until now, a way to change our own reality. It is in this moment that I understood the psychology like a discipline that can help other people to make choices to search the personal happiness, and build a healthy type of life. I would like to do class too, and be a guide to other people, a referent. I study another career, a career that doesn't help others, it only helps to personal satisfaction. That is the reason that I dropped out, and I took another path. My experience until the moment is really satisfactory, I woudn't be better in another place.
