The Mapuche conflict

Hello everybody,

Today I will speak about of the Mapuche Conflict because is a very important topic.

I think that this conflict is more important that as show the Medias of communication, beside is a topic very old and the Medias has distorted the reality because only show the things that are convenient.

The Mapuches always fought for their rights and this isn’t the exception, but the Media reported this news because there is a law in the middle that is the antiterrorism law and because is convenient for the government that the Mapuches appear as terrorists and a danger to the society.

I think that the Mapuches are in all their right of to fight for their land that has been expropriated and with that the whole culture and beside they also believe in the importance of the Pachamama and the properties that it delivered to their culture and life. For this reason the lands are very important for the Mapuches, and for this I think that should not to accuse of terrorists if they are only fight for is yours.

With all the things I hasn’t think in a solution because is a topic very complicate and I don’t know all the reasons for that they fight, beside I don’t know the all things they have done and that for the government are terrorists attack, and I’m not sure if someone should take the first step because I don’t know if it serves for one solution.

In conclution, I think that the Mapuches are making that the persons know the reality of their struggles but I think that the government not is interesting in one solution why blame the terrorists Mapuche.

Well I hope that can give their opinions about the topic and give new information for to understand some things,

The Music

Hello guys,
Well today I will talk about the music.

First, my favorite types of music are salsa, romantic, merengue and all the music when I can to dance, and all the music when I can to feel or to remember.
Second, I don’t have a favorite bands but, I like to me Reik, Lifehouse, Evanescence, Nickelback, and La Sociedad, but where I came to the University I found a taste for the Prisioneros, Sol y Lluvia, Intillimani, among others of the same style.
Third, I have a singers that I like very much as Marc Antony, but also I like very much Witney Houston, Ricardo Arjona, Bon Jovi, Silvio Rodríguez, Luis Fonsi, Franco de Vita, Shakira, Gervasio, among others of the same style.

Well, as they will understand, to me the music is very important and all the singers and bands that I named, with your music did something important in my life, for example the Prisioneros, Sol y Lluvia came when I began to see the reality of politics in our life, when I understand the why the persons manifested to enforce their rights and very more things. Silvio Rodríguez came when I knew to my boyfriend and he dedicated to me any sings.

Then, all the singers and bands I like to me when its have a significant letter in my life, but I dislike to me all the music when don’t understand the letter or the principal idea of the sing, also I dislike to me all the music that beside I can’t dance or to feel the music, and I think that is the more important, that I feel the music, enjoy more to listen because is fashionable.

Well, I hope you enjoyed of the topic today, and hopefully that any can to share my likes and to write me and I can enjoy talking about it and to share music.

Bye and greetings to all.

The environment

Hello guys,

The topic today is about the environment.

First, I need to say when I was a girl; I didn’t know anything about the environment neither about of recycling because in my college and in my house it wasn’t a usual topic.

But I knew anything as to care the water, the plants, the tree and all the places that I knew.

Then, when I arrived to the University I learned very much about the recycling, because in this place had very trash can to recycle, beside, all the people or students had incorporated this habits.

Now, I try of separate the materials of glass, paper, plastic, or metal, but only in the university or in places where the trash can are separate, but in my house is very difficult because to my family don’t understand about the recycling.

I am very lazy and I don’t use bicycle and neither walk, but in my house there is a car and I avoid use, because I know that is very contaminants.

Ah, I don’t work in a organization because I haven’t time, but now I like me to belong to one, because I feel that is a very way of to do something for this environment that is very pollute, beside, I think that know very few about way of to take car and to keep the ozone layer, the plants, the animals or to the environment in general.

But, in this society, specifically Santiago, should to look for other countries and to copy anything about the recycling and to teach to all the society any habits about as to keep the environment because maybe we are a country very “advanced” in anything, but we are barbarian for this topics.

We are very slow in this kind of culture.

Bye everyone

The traffic lights in Education

Hello readers,

Today’s topic will be about a news related with my career.

This news is about the traffic lights in education was the education minister's proposal Joaquin Lavin, and emerges as a way to improve the quality because it would allow parents to know in what position, according to results of SIMCE, is the schools of her children from that.

The system is that schools with good performance in SIMCE are green, those with regular performance will be in yellow and those schools with the worst results in SIMCE have the color red.

Then parents can decide which school to place their children, according to results SIMCE supposedly would ensure the quality of education that provides that facility.

Schools that are green will have an extra incentive grant colleges in red and will struggle to get that grant, but that will have to improve their performance. In addition, schools with better results may make it difficult for students coming from other establishments and those in yellow have to open and facilitate the entry quotas.

Felipe Salazar, an expert on education policy, said that the traffic lights, "only reflect the socioeconomic composition of areas, places with fewer resources and do not reflect academic subjects."

Then, say that schools colors in yellow, have fewer resources than those in green in the same area and these results do not point to the quality of education they deliver.

For Salazar, this system leads to segregation and discrimination and nothing else, and says that "the agency can not say anything because half of students with poor performance is in the private sector and other public sector and the results show there is no significant difference between the two groups, all due to socioeconomic status ".

In summary, the traffic lights system implemented by the minister of education Joaquin Lavin, in order to improve the quality of education, ¡IS A FAILURE!

Well here I send the link of the news and what it says Felipe Salazar, and I hope they tell me they think about this.

My native country

Hi, I hope everyone will be well. Today, I would like to tell about of a country that I like, called Venezuela, because I was born there.

The history is well; my grandfather was an exile chick during the military coup, so he came to Venezuela and when he could raise the money he came to Chile to look to my grandmother with my mother and my aunt.

In Venezuela my mom met and married with my dad, and then I born but my dad was with another and separated for this mi mom decided to return to Chile.

In this country I left many relatives, as my godparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and my grandparents and my mom left many friends, for this we have always wantes to return. I want to see to my family because I don’t remember as they were and always telling me that miss me and ask me where I'm going to see them.

I would like to return to my country and see thr people I love, remembering the beautiful beaches, eat the food so tasty and the best thing is that this is a tropical country and never cold and I hate the cold, for this I would go to live for a couple of months or even years to work and perfect my studies, because the universities there, are free.

Well, I say goodbye to everyone and hope you have enjoyed the post today.

The first term of 2010

Hello,

Well, the last semester went exceptional because I did many things.
First, in this semester I had many teachers very good as persons and were experts in your subjects, beside each things that I learned helped me for my life.

Second, with my course of education, went to Dichato in our initial practice, because this town was devastated for the earthquake and the tsunami and we went to work with the community and with children.
When we arrived to Dichato, the reality was very different to as I saw in the TV, because the center of Dichato was the “zero zone” and this place was destroyed totally, there were not houses, shops, the ships were in all the streets and the roofs of the houses were on others houses or in the shore of the beach.

The persons still were shock for the loss of their dear persons and for the loss of all their beings. The children were sad because they lost your pets, some friends and their college.
For this, we did different activities for the children, the parents, and leaders of the camping in where they could to reconcile with their environment.

This experience was the more important of the first term because all the activities and my life in this semester were related with this experience.
