About everything or nothing

Hello dear classmates!

Today I will talk about everything a little.

In our country is happening many things I think the situation is complicated. Maybe I am a negative person but I believe all is bad. Every day is worst. 

First, the seeds! Is terrible the problem with the seeds. A new law really affects us not only peasants and agricultures.   This law is prejudicial for all people in Chile because now only we can eat genetically modified seeds.  In my sincerely opinion, Monsanto sucks! 

Second topic is HidroAysen. This project was approved for almost twelve persons. 12 people approve a project that involves us all.  I disagree with HidroAysen. I think this project is fatalist for everything.  Destroy the Patagonia.  And the Government deceives people. They are told that energy is for everyone. They say “that prices will not rise”. But I think that's a lie. Always middle class and the poor pay. HidroAysen is negative. 

Third topic is... sexual diversity.  This topic is essential for me. I believe in freedom of expression and rights of each. And here including the freedom to show love♥ to anyone, women or men, the important is you are happy. 

The fourth theme is about Indegenous.  The indigenous of Chile has always been discriminated against. For many people is terrible and ugly to have blood Mapuche. That is stupid. I would be very happy if I had an Indigenous name. 
  

And the most important topic, for the moment, is about student demonstration. Maybe I do not participate actively but this not significant nothing. I care the education in Chile. I want the free and quality education.  I don’t have babies but I have a nephew and I want he can study in the best education.

And for the end, here some links for you can read the news.  Never had you read Emol or La Tercera because these newspapers never tell the complete news. You must read different newspapers to create an opinion.

Chile is not best country. But  I live here. I love my country, with bad or good things.  Only, we are fight for a best Chile in the future.

The Best!

Hello everyone!

The topic of this week is about of best in my field, the art history.

Topic very difficult for me because I believe that nobody is better than another. In my opinion all people are different and be important. It depends on the subjectivity of each person.

I like the art and I like many artists. Is not easy for me choose just one. But in this moment in my life I decided to talk about Dada or Dadaism. I chose the Dada movement because it is a criticism of the art institution. 

 

The Dadaism is a cultural movement. That emerged in 1916.  It begins in Switzerland. The movement involved many artistic expressions like literature, visual arts, art theory and poetry and other more.  The first person in talk about Dadaism is Hugo Ball (he writes the first Dadaist manifesto)

Dadaism was characterized as a movement presented as a critique of the institution-art. Is the movement of the anti-art.  This movement not accepts and oppose to the existing art forms and conventions. Dada does not accept the principles of art, logic,

The Dadaists are against the immobility. They were in favor of individual liberty, freedom of expression. The Dadaist t prefers the chaos and imperfection rather than the order and perfection of the art set. Dada is often asked what art is. Dada denies the aesthetic, reason, sense, the construction of consciousness.

The Dada worked the photomontage in magazines and posters. There are also paintings and assembly works.

The most famous Dada work is this “Fountain” by Marcel Duchamp. And He was the most important Dada artist (one classmate talk about Duchamp, see her blog)

The other work called "Fruit of a great experience" by Max Ernst, Dada is collage. It shows a diverse group of objects made ​​by artist arbitrarily.The work does not exist great technical or intervention of the artist. Also, the title, "The fruit of long experience," notes the irony that characterizes the Dadaism.

Hello dears classmates!

This week we not had classes because we are in strike. However, I comment two very important things. First is about of post by Beatriz, I believe that the law of the seeds is horrible. I cannot understand how the government can pass these laws that only affect us. I don't understand how now only we can eat genetically modified seeds. 

And second, I will talk about the words of Cardinal Jorge Medina. The Cardinal was interviewed the last Monday by Julio Cesar Rodriguez in his program “Podría ser peor”, on the Bío Bío radio.

Medina spoke about married homosexual, divorce, the case Karadima and abortion.

I heard this interview and I did not know whether to laugh or mourn.

 

Medina said: On people can have homosexual tendency but lives in moral. In his words the tendency is not sin. Live in couple o have relationship homosexual, yes it is. For him the homosexual married is unacceptable. Is the horror! The anarchy!. According to him people with homosexual tendencies should not have gay friends. In addition, people who have sex, the homosexual sex, don't go to heaven. The Bible says through the words of St. Paul. This is crap, this is very stupid!!

 The words of Cardinal Medina are absolutely homophobic. This Cardinal is downright caveman.  But we have to understand him because he is blinded by Catholicism, with its moral norms and dogmas. Although not as well, one need only look at Karadima. Medina is a grim human. The priests, religion in itself is bad for freedom of expression.

In my opinion, I don't understand people who decide to marry. But I think everybody should have the right to choose to get married. I think the opinion of the Medina is horrible. He speaks only nonsense. He cannot pretend to guide the lives of people. And also, He not know is good or bad.

You can hear the interview on the following link

Free topic!

Hello everyone!

Today, the topic is free. There are many things about I like to write. But I choose only one, the end of the world.

The world is finish in some moment for our fault. So, is very important to do something for save the world. The global warming produced for different factors as contamination. The contamination by cars, factories, smoke of cigarettes, etc. affects directly the atmosphere and the air to breathe. The contamination produces the famous greenhouse effect. There are many gases in the atmosphere.

For cause the global warming the climate is change in the earth.  In the last years the temperature increases considerably. The glaciers disappear.  And many animals lost the ecosystems for life.  The rivers, lakes, and oceans are contaminating for radioactive and organic waste.

Also, there is much garbage affect too. Like plastic, glass, aluminum of tin, papers, batteries. And all things not use.  

Is necessary the recycling.  Is very important that because you recycle helping get a little. And care the world.

 I don’t smoke for example. I try not use bag of plastic. I don’t drive a car, I prefer the public transport. I recycle the plastic and glass. In my house, we keep bottles of beer or coke for then recycle. The batteries are specifically containers for discard.

I want have a child and I wanted they see the blue the sky and the ocean. And they met the forest and the glaciers.

You recycle right now!

Hello everyone!

Today I`m write about my favorite photograph.

I like so much take pictures all the time. And I have many photographs of the Christmas, vacation, birthdays and happy moments with my family and my friends. Is difficult for me choice only one.

My family and I go visited to Chiloe that summer. We traveled from Ancud to Quellón. This vacation was very funny.  We meet many beautiful places.  The only bad is my sister not traveled with us. So, the happiness is not same without her.

 In this moment, my favorite photograph is of that summer. In the photograph appear my two brothers and me.  My mother took of photograph. In the picture, we are up the “monument of Generation of 70s” in Quellón. We playing guitar and we singing “El gorro de lana”

I like this picture because represent the happy and fun it was this vacation. It shows the three joking together. We always laughing the anything

However, the photographs would be great and perfect with my sister but is not that. We took always pictures together, the four. We are very close. We are very accomplices.

In my memory,  I always remember this vacation because was really good. And I wait the next vacation be better.

I love my brothers and I think is the last vacation with my brothers.

The education in Chile

                                                      Hello readers!

Today, I`m will to talk about important topic for all students of Chile, and the people in general. The education in Chile. The education is not good in our country. Depends on how much money you have. Also is very expensive. And not all Chileans can get a good education. Few people can afford. Many middle class people can not study. And many like me had to choose a college credit. But this solution is not very good because it is very expensive when you pay.

On Thursday May 12 a demonstration was conducted at the national level to reflect the general discontent. The students want a new free public education. The education is essential for life because through it can be done to change the country. But, in this moment, is not for all Chileans. 

The government not talks. And only I listen in the news is about disturbances. And is this the only thing you see on the news. Nothings good about students.  

 I would love to participate in the marches, but the truth is that I have scared. I have a bad experience, one day when I went to school students were protesting and good a pile of stones flew over my head, a glass bottle that was almost a Molotov fell at my feet. And besides that many policemen running towards me with the "guanaco" included. I'm a bit traumatized with that fact. But, I think participate very soon.

“The education is the our new revolution” like say Residente by Calle 13.

London in Google!

Hello everyone!

This week I will talk about activity in class. We had search information about London.

 In my opinion, London is not much interesting. I prefer traveling in America, especially in Chile.  The only things I like of London is Harry Potter!  Really is not true, I would like to know the British museum or some stadium. I don’t like London but activity was fun.

Last Friday, we had a nice activity to do.  In class, we search in google different touristics places of the city of London.  As Tower of London, the market in Camden Town and many museums like British museum, madame Tussauds and Tate Modern. Also we had to discover the ticket price of all places. Which we served tube station and that area was.

I studied tourism at school so I'm familiar organize tour. But I never did in English, of a country as far away as England. Also is new for me find information in English For me it is hard to find information in English but I'm sure it will become easier. The activity was very entertaining.

I recommend this activity because for me was very fun. I've always liked organizing trips. Maybe that I like so much the activity. 

Regards!

Hello my dears classmates!
Today, I talk about web site. My favorites, the web site I hate and few more. I discovered web site in the moment I discovered the internet (that is obvious!)
I don`t have favorite web site because I like so many. I can`t choice just one. I have three special web sites.

In first place it is YouTube. I don´t remember the moment when I discovered YouTube. But I only known I visit all days for my entertainment. I lost much time when I watch to videos in YouTube.  I like watch to official videos my favorite’s bands. And I watch funny videos of people drunks and falls skaters. Sometimes, I don´t enjoy with YouTube because now YouTube is have much censorship. Now is not very funny.
Also, I like because I can comment the videos, I can my opinion and that I really like.
My second web site is Hotmail. Can be boring but I have much affection for that web site. I have my first mail in this web.  I talk with my friends for msn. 
My third web site is... I haven`t third. Before, I liked Wikipedia but now I know that sometimes the Wikipedia lie.  

Blog correction

Personally, I’m not a big fan of technology. In fact, I’m very clumsy about it; I always have difficulty with modern and sophisticated objects. Also, I prefer simple and tradicional (S) (traditional) thinks (S) (things), like books and vinyls.

However, I love photography and I like to experience all types of things associate to photography, even moderns invents, such a filters and digitals cameras.

A few years ago, my mother gave me a digital camera. I remember that (  ) I was very happy and surprised. In that moment I thought “! (P) This is the best present in a whole world (WE) (in all world)!”

From then on I started to take a photograph of anything that attracts my attention: animals, people, flowers, windows, doors, even the sky was (WT) (is) very interesting to photograph, specially the clouds.

I always have the camera on (WW) (with) me, especially when I visit new places.

I like to take a photograph of the places that I like and particularly (   ) take a photograph of happy and funny moments.

I enjoyed portray the moments that I felt happy, because in that way I keep them with me forever.

Unfortunately, my camera is very old, about 8 years, and has too much use (  ). Apart from that,  (WE)      in the earthquake I left in on the table, and with the movement the camera came down to the floor (?M). Because of that, one part is broken, but the camera still works.

So… If you want give me a present, you know what will make me happy.

Am I technology girl?

Hello dears!

The technology is not good for me.  I don't really like technology (is contaminant!) but I use all the time. I have mobile phone, computer, DVD, mp3 and many other things. The technology is in all houses.  Is it in any places.  In my infancy, the technology only was TV.

My favorite piece is my Mp3 (very old!). I love music and I need listen something. I use all days by bus. The trip by bus is very long so I listening music for almost 3 hours with headphone. My mp3 is 4 gigabyte of memory.  So I have any type of music. In this moment I have much rock.  

Also, I have second favorite, my digital camera.  I take much. Before only take twenty four pictures but now I can take thousand. Now I have much photography of my vacation.  My camera too has video option. My sister records my nephew, he is very funny.  

My computer is really good. Although is not only mine, Is the family computer´s.  In the computer, I do my works for university.  I watch videos in YouTube and talk whit my friends.  Also, I check my Facebook.

The computer is it essential for my life. I use all the time.

The movies!

Hello classmates!

Today I write about movies. I like the movies. I enjoy see them. I think the films it is a good for free time.

I don’t have favorite movie but in this moment I really like “Following” of Christopher Nolan. This film it tell the story a man who follows the people. This man create rules for not have problems But he doesn’t know who someone following him.  “Following” is a film was made on a small budget. This movie is an unusual no linear plot structure. Similar “Memento”. I like this film because never know what happen. Is constant uncertainty. I saw “Following” in class of Jaime Cordero.

I see movies with my family. We see movies the saturdays together. The type is not very important, We like horror, comedy, suspense and science fiction. The really important is enjoy But now we see children movies because my nephew lives whit us. He is very small. Then, the movies in my house there Walt Disney, Pixar and Dreamworks. Personally, I like so much Shrek and Ice Age J and I hate Winnie the Pooh (my nephew love him)

You can take pictures to animals and plants, trees and all you want. You can visit the Todos los Santos Lake. Sail in a boat and meet Argentina.

The weather is very cold and rainy but is fun walk in the rain
