I come to save the environment!!

I always think in the terrible problems that have the environment, the programs of discovery and others like that, are so catastrophic that I feel really tiny about, because I think that the world need that all the population around the world take responsibility to care the environment.
But the most important is that the governments really change their minds about the environment and spend more money in research and implementation of renewable energy.
I try to be friendly with the environment across to little things like, use not so much paper for writing and printing, I take care the water that we use at home, so I try to take shower in short time, also when I cook and wash the dish I take care to don’t use to much water, I care about the electric energy and I always turn of the light and the stuff that we don’t use , for example the tv.
I think that the Chilean Government is late about recycling, and they just think in the price of the things in the short time, but they don’t understand that the recycling is important because is friendly with the environment and also down the levels of trash. But the government doesn’t want to do because the start of a national program of recycling is really expensive, because you have to spend in center for recycling around the country and also in education, because we need change the culture about recycling.
I think that the more common things that the people recycle are the iron, the card board, the glass bottle and the tine. I think that is really good, but the 80% of the trash is recycling so we can already recycle paper, plastic bottle and all the organic; like vegetables and fruits. Also the people can help with minder use of chimney and car, so we can use the bicycle or food.

Santiago

I from Los Andes city, I live almost three
years in Santiago, and I lived for one year in Belgium. I think that every city
have good and bad things. I have a strange relation with Santiago the most of
the time I really hate a lot of stuff, but I have also my good moments. I love
that you can do a lot of things; of course if you have time, even if you don’t have
money, you can go to the theater, the cinema, carnivals, exhibition, listen
music, and the best that all is free, you just have to look at internet and
decide what you like. Also I like walk around the center or parks , like neighborhoods
of Bellavista, Lastarria, Brazil, Yungay and others. The parks and are a good
option in the spring like Santa Lucia` hills, the Forestal` park and Quinta
normal. I have a very romantic view of walking around in the spring with the
sunset and in company of a good friend, my boyfriend or sometimes alone.
But in the other side I dislike all the noise
of the city, that never stops, the traffic is crazy and the people get stress
for that. Also I don’t like the distance, Santiago is so big that everything is
far away, We don’t have this problem is Los Andes because is small and you can
go on foods to every place and it not take so much time. But here I live in Lo
Barnechea and is far away almost 30 minutes or more to place like the
university, or houses of my friends.
For visitors I would recommender see the center
of Santiago like Plaza de Armas , walk around the Mercado Central and the
Vega, and eat something of the Mercado
also go to the Santa Lucia´ hills and the Neruda’ house.

Nicanor Parra

Fist I disagree with the concept of “the greatest Chilean of all time”, because I think that the history is not about a person, because that person is in relationships with other factors, like the family, teachers, and the ideology of the time, and also the history is writing for a group of people that make things that have consequence in a future, and we would choose since the present which one history is real or valid for us.

Most of the history is writing since the paradigm or view of victors and vanquished, the victors represent all the power of occident, represented in a hero that has always the same characteristics: is man, is white, is colonist and have political power. So the greatest Chilean of all time is naturally related of that concept, and you think immediately in names like: Andres Bello, Balmaceda, Pedro Aguirre Cerda include Salvador Allende. So, in politics I can`t say that someone was the greatest, because all the figure are related to the “perfect white”.

I think that some people can stand up because they contributed in their area or specialty like writing, arts, science, etc. In that way I would name some people that I consider that make interesting contribution to their area, but for the time, I just would refer to Nicanor Parra.

Nicanor Parra is a poet (yes, he is alive, although some people given up for dead XD) member of the Parra`s Family, a know family of Chillan that were artist, in things like music, writing and painting. He is distinguished in the poetry because he is a antipoetry, He won a lot prices, but I think that most destacated about his career is how he laugh of all the things, the politics, the capitalism, the love, etc. He is very ironic , and also have other way to write, that escape of all the formalism of the poetry, so is very free and sarcastic. I think that if I will know him, I would invite to drink a “vino en caja”. In his web site you can find some of his work, I hope that you will enjoy it. http://www.nicanorparra.uchile.cl/

I`m snake!

I think the horoscope or the Chinese horoscope are interesting to analyze , because produce me a strange feling; in the first moment I always say, that I dont`t belive in the horoscopo, this is because I don`t believe in the way, how they get the information, I know that is something about the position of the moon, and the stars, and them I ask me , how could be that posible? So I dont`t understand how can you say so much of the people only for the position of the star.

But, in the other way; Sometimes I like to read my horoscope, and see what would be happen, in that way is like a game, because I dont`believe, but I find that is nice sometimes know what is the destine about. ;)

In the Chinese Horoscopo I `m Snake; the snake are intelligence, gracefulness (expression with the body) and materialism, they are analytical when making decision, don`t like the problems, but if they want something, they getting dosn`t carry about the others . I `m desagree with the part of the materialism, because I very simple, and I dont`carry about the things and the Money, I never have Money, so I never buy luxurious furnishings how they say.

About the health I think that the most is true because I like the calmnes, be quiet with out noise, and also I get easily stressed, so I have to manageable workload rather.Another think that is also true, is that snake are job-hoppers, because they become easily boring.

In the relationships they say that the snake are very seducers, and always atracting people, I laughed when I reed that, because I `m the least seductive. And also about partner the snake is very jalours ans obsessive, I don`t think that I`m that caint of person, but the only thing that I believe and I hope , is that the 2013 is gonna be my year :)

The summer´ riots

In the summer of 2011 in London , was effecting for riots or street disturbances a big sacking likeprotest. Hundreds of people came out of the street and sacking store and houses. The situation was controls after that the police applied more repressivemethods. The summer ‘riots have a impacted in the population and politics, but also is interesting for the social sciences. So The guardian post and the London School of Economics, made a project for research the cause and the implications of the riots.This article inparticular is called : English riots were'a sort of revenge' against the police and is about a almost 270 interviewsof rioters, an important result was about the view of the police, the 85% of the people that participated in the riots of Augustus, said that the police was a factor in the reasons of the riots.The rioters said that the police are a “gang”, they are protect for the law and the politics, so the police have the power to do whatever they want. So the young felt that the police abused in the dairy life of the poverty people. For their defense,the Association of Chief Police Officers said that the situation was of extreme violence and the way in which events escalated rapidly forced to the unprepared police to do what they done and required 16.000 polices to restore the order.

My Christmas

This Christmas, and all the Christmas of my live I spend it with my family in the house of my grandmother in Santiago. We are 15 people in the close family of my mother , four childrens and eleven adults. All the day was in funtion of Christmas because my grandmother was worry about the time, and she thought that we haden`t enought time, so in the morning,I and my brothers cleaned up all the house, at luch my uncle Esteban came to the house, he was to arriving of the North of Chile, because he was working for a month in different place of the North, we were so happy that he was at home, that we spent all the afternoon talking and watching pinctures of his travel.

In the evening all the family went to the church except me and my two brothers, because we are nonbelievers; so we had the responsibility to get ready the salad, warm the turkey and cook something for the vegetarian. We worked for two hours for get ready all the food, and everything was good and tasty.For us all is about the food and have a good time, so the pressies are not so important, but we laughed a lot and we had really good time, the best moment, was when my mother got a camera how a pressies, haar face was so funny, the most surprise face of all the night, most that any of te childrens.

We have some family tradition , everyone had a Christmas boot, that we handed in the wall of the living room. This boot is full with chocolates, lolypops, candys etc. All the members of the family given money for buy all this sweet stof, and we love this tradicion because we like so much the sweet things.

The destiny of the lenguaje

The lenguaje is want of the most important hability, with out lenguaje the humanity can not comunicate, so the lenguaje existe for comunication. We are agree that the lenguaje is a hability exclusive in our species. Other animals like Chimpance use sings for comunication, but they don´t have the intelegent that we have.

In the history of the human adaptation, our ancestors like the homo erectus and Nearthentalds have the pòsibility of comunication across of social learning by copy, wach and imitaition but not lenguaje. But acroos the years the community culture adaptation enabled accumulation of ideas and them the beginning of the history.

So I agree whit the ideas of the professor, like that the lenguaje is a sort of social technology for cooperation that allows the coordination, also enable to put ideas together, and the most important cuality of the lenguaje is that give creativity, and this is the way how the humanity to transformer the enviroment .

In the actuality we have a big diversity of lenguaje, around the wordl exist about 6.000 different lenguaje, and the professor think that If today the globalization is around the wordl why we speak diffent lenguaje?, the modern world is confronting with the dilema of our destiny is be one world with one lenguaje. I desagree whit that idea, because I think that globalization is just the posibility to comunicate whit other place, but it dosen`t meand that all the wordl have to be always comunicate and undestanding. In the wordl exist a lot of inequality some population is very poverty because the uneven distribution of wealth, and they live whit a down “quality factor”. So i ask, how we gonna comunity with only one lenguaje if the most of pupulation in the wordl don`t have enough food, education and work.

Also the professor dosen`t take into account the factor of the culture, every lenguaje have a determinate culture, some anthropologist think the lenguaje is firt to the culture, whatever, the lenguaje is a way to know how the people is, and the diversity of lenguaje is also refer to the diversity forms to relate and living.
