Look for a mirror and look to yourself on there, you can see your eyes, your nose, and you mouth, etc. Do you are one on this parts? You are the addition of all that parts and more. Your personality is a special part or this addition. But do not confuse your personality with your attitudes, because this last depend of the context. Goffman, a Canadian sociology from 20’s, talks about the life like it was a theatrical stage, when exist the “backstage” and the “front stage”. In the front stage you demonstrated your attitudes, according your personality; you are acting for the rest of people. You are not lying, you are acting. On the other hand, in the backstage you can leave flow your personality. The backstage is the palaces where you feel safe and do not think how you want to act, because you feel that you have not audience.  You mind is a type of backstage, because no one can see you there (maybe, a mentalist, but this other point).

The diversity in the global society

Imagen
The diversity in the global society is something unvalued. The humans are social beings for nature, and this nature makes humans have a conversation each other. We have a lot of things to learn and teach each other, “know-how”, perspectives, knowledge, and more. In our current global society, the communication between cultures, countries, or people are immediately, faster that centuries ago.  We can learn make some food from another country in minutes, or we can talk with people from other countries without stay face to face with them. The wonderful point of this is that the answer that someone in somewhere could find for a problem can be share with the rest of the world and help so many people. For example, the technology that Chile and Japan created for earthquake can be used for other countries and save the live so many people. In the same way, the skill that we learn about coexistence can be to teach to other, and revolve diplomatic or lawyer problems.  ...

Teach to tell stories, but let them tell in their own way. This is the best way to develop their imagination and help them to think and understand the world and the words.  Teach to write stories in childhood is good for develop the child’s imagination.

Large cars create a lot of difficulties in our streets.  Cities like Santiago (Chile) and others capitals have an incredible population of cars, and their streets are swamped. The large cars like pick-up truck are not made for the city in the same way that the city cars are, and their sizes exceed the “standard space” on the streets. Pike-up like Chevrolet Colorado are so big including for the parking car.   For this reason, the large cars are problems on our streets, they take up the limited space that our streets have. 

The status of education in Chile: Quality vs Cost

Imagen
In Chile exists two types of educations systems: private and state (actually, exists another, mix type). When we talk about the elementary school and high, the best schools are privates, except for a couple of cases, but when we talk about university, the best options are state universities.  The point of this is that the state universities aren’t free like elementary and high school, we have to pay this education; in Chile, the education is “pay to win”. The SINSE demonstrate to us every year that private education is better that state education, in level elementary and high school. And this demonstrates that our country fail again trying to equalize the level education. In the other hand, the international and national rankings of universities demonstrate that the estate universities are better those privates’ universities. But these universities aren’t free, and every year become more expensive, if you don’t have a scholarship, probably you going to have problems for pay...

Research Idea

When someone find a corpse, the firth move is call the police and PDI, and then have the reponsability of deteminated if the corpse is contenporary or is a mummy. In the desert we can find three types of corpses: 1) Mummy: Evidence of the native that lived in desert in pre-Columbian age. 2) D.D. : Corpse of a missing person, who was victim of the Dictatorship. 3) Corpse: Evidence of a recent homicide. In the firth case, the PDI should reach a team of archeological investigation, and them will take the reponsability of that mummy. In the second case, the PDI will reach for a Human's right organization, them will take the reponsability of that corpse. In the third case, the PDI should take the reponsability to start a investigation. *Problem: - How to differencient the types of corpses that find it in Antofagasta? - How make the process mo...

English Language Challenges

I had a trauma with this subject… Last year I reproved this subject in other career (English’s Literature).  I was scary thinking that the English was the worst subject… but I was wrong. I like this subject in FACSO. This isn’t more easy, but is more funny; I like write the blog <3. In my opinion, the blog is a good way to practice grammar and vocabulary.  Actually, I have other blog that I write in English, a page of DeviantArt.com . But tis blog is about drawings that I draw. I know that I need to improve my pronunciation and my grammar… I have problems with the verbal times.  I am trying to read books and papers in English, I think that this can be useful for learn grammar and vocabulary . Also, I still talk with my classmates of Literature in English for practice the pronunciation. I know that I make a lot of mistakes but they teach me.      But, I am not so bad in that. A few days ago I had to do an interview to a group of Americans ...

Changes to My Study Programme

Imagen
I am studying Anthropology.  The anthropology is a global discipline involving humanities, social sciences and natural sciences We study the human’s existences, the lifestyles, relationships, language, biology, culture, past, evolution, and everything that do to humans be humans. In the firth year we have class of anthropology, archaeology, biology, philosophy, history and methodology. These classes are the base for all that will come. I think that we need more field work in the anthropology and archaeology classes. In these areas, the field work is the key for learned how the things in the right way do.  We need go out and “put our foot on the mud”. Also, the last year I studied literature and I think that is an interesting area for the anthropology. But, really, I don’t know if literature is or isn’t an obligatory subjects in our program. If don’t be, should be. Beside, in my opinion the philosophy’s contents should including in the others classes, not be a diff...

Winter Holidays

On this winter holydays I am going to come back to Mejillones. Probably we can’t go to other place, because my parents have to work, but it is fine for me. I just want stay in home. I can’t wait for the winter holydays... I want to come back to my home and could see my siblings. I miss them so much. I have homework for to do this holydays. I am going to do ethnography, but I don’t know about what... I need think it.   Probably I will do that about the municipal orchestra, because is a really interesting activity that the Mejillones’s childhood can do. Other option is do it about “la toma”, but I don’t want disturb to people that live there in winter, is a sensible time for them. However, I need think the better place for do the ethnography. And I need think that I can't spend all my holyday’s time in this. I don’t need see the future for know that I will have to teach my siblings and help them with their homework. Usually we do that on our holydays. I going to play ...

My favorite TV show

Imagen
I enjoy so many types of TV shows. I like so much CSI and NCSI (all series of this series); I like shows like Project Runway, Cake Boss, What Not to Wear, and I like too cartoons series like Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Loud’s House,  and Samurai Jack. But my favourite TV show isn’t like this shows, is more like TV news. My favourite TV Show is Chumel with Chumel Torres. This is a hilarious show that parodies TV news shows and talks about interesting topical issues. Chumel Torres is a Mexican guy that had a show in Youtube, this show was “El pulso de la Republica”, where he talk about serious topic but in informal and funny way. In the last year, HBO hire him for do the same type of show but for TV and he accepted. My favourite episode is “Homofobico$”, when he told about how the homophobic do that the country loses and don’t win a lot of money.  Was so awesome for me understand it, and I liked so much how he explained it. He does it simple; anyone can understand th...

Postgraduate Studies: What want I do?

Imagen
I like will go to University of Granada, Spain, and do a Master in Forensic Anthropology, because they are pioneering in investigations and methodologies of physical anthropology. Before to I came to the University I has been reading about the investigations, and I was fascinated. I understood that firth I need study Anthropology and after travel to Granada for continued my studies. Other option for me is study Criminology in Spain, Germany, Japan or USA. Also I can study Criminology in Chile or Argentina, but the best universities for this are in other countries.   In the other hand, I will like do a Master in Cultural Affairs, in the Universidad de Chile, because I want to be head of office of culture in my town, and I work in so many activities for the community, like theatre, dance, etc. and I need know how do that.    Also I can study Culture Affairs in Brazil, French, Japan and Spain, but is more easy and inexpensive study in Chile. In any case, I wil...

My future job

Imagen
I want to be novelist or writer in general.  I imagine myself writing a lot of book, novels, tales, comics, and stuffs; because I enjoy so much write stories about fantasy and science fiction. After that I want to be head of office of culture in a town (one of every town that I have live), and I work in so many activities for the community, like theatre, dance, music and culture stuff.   Probably you can think that is an indoor job, but one can haunt a good story in everyplace. Obviously, if I will work in the office of culture I can’t go wherever I want, but I could travel for the district. I am study anthropology, and I want to take a mention in physical anthropology and maybe a mention in forensic anthropology.   I like so much my major, though it doesn’t have relation with my dream about a job. I guess that this’s weird but this’s the idea that I have for my future. I really don’t know if I will work like an anthropology, but if will be to this w...

Election Day

Imagen
In the next elections, I will go to vote, obviously. I has voted in every election since I was 18 years old, because I want to have voice in the political discussion. About the electoral campaigns, I think that talking with people is more useful than putting posters or sing catchy songs.  I mean… If you don’t know the people, you couldn’t help them. A person that wants to have a public position needs to be good listener, have great willingness, and understand that will need patience and a lot of time to fix so many problems. Have a public position is complicated and hard, it needs vocation. I would really like to have a public position and to be able to help the people, but I am from nowhere… I have lived in a lot of cities along my life. I don’t have city or town to call “my home”. This is a bit sad. In the district where I'm living now, Mejillones, the political campaigns need to have more focus in the people and the childhood. No more campaigns with money of th...

Someone I'd like to meet: Javier Fernandez

Imagen
Javier Fernandez Lopez is a Spanish ice-skater. He was born in Madrid, Spain, and currently, he lives and trains in Toronto, Canada.   He is 26 ages old, but he is like a child on the ice. He is a good boy, a nice person so handsome and loves his country and the ice.  Now he has his mind on the Olympics Winter Games in China, this year; he wants to win and take a gold medal to his country. He was the first Spanish ice-skater that competed for Spain in Gran Prix Final, in 2010. He was almost one of the first to add 4T in his routine. Last year, he won the Final Gran Prix. The first routine of Javier Fernandez that I could see was in 2011, when he made a performance of “Pirates of Caribbean” in FS, in the Rotelecom Cup, in Russia. His style mades me fall in love. I watched a documental of Javier’s couch, Bryan Orser, where he talked about Javier and Yuzuru Hanyu. Brian said that both are children, and said that Javier just trains because Hanyu does it.   ...

Hang out with friend

Imagen
When I was 13, my friends invited me to a concert. I have never been to one before, I was scared.  In that time I lived in Quellón City and the artists that came to our city were very few. The worst of everything was that all my friends knew all song about that band,   Los difuntos Correa , and I had no idea who they were. I remember that my dad said: “Why you go if you don’t know who they are? You just want spend my money…” No matter what, I went with my friend because I wanted to hang out with them. This was the best idea. I sang all songs that I could learn, all the time with my friend. When I came back to home I was deaf and without voice, but happy, and my dad thought that this has been a good idea. Now I don't remember or sing any song of theirs, but I remember the happiness when I was screming and singing with my friends.
