11 Challenges in my Discipline

A important Challenges In psychology, I think could be the make more an better laboratory. The area Neuro-psychological are of many way negligent, It`s area had a very little publications, v/s others areas as Psycohological education, or Clinic Investigation.

I think that the area Biological is very important in my career, it`s more, I think that all social career should be a minimum of publication with a scientifically based.

However, It`s clear: We Like social area, and Human behaviour, also we like social explination and the diferent areas of culture and actually social problems, and finally we like to have a big undertanding of every Human subject of our interest. But none of them is really important if not we`ll be the time for make a cientifict and biological investigation.

Also, the differents publications or paper`s should be made by an interdisciplinary team. This way every discipline would be more participative and our faculty students would be more proactive.

If we we had teachers of diferents career, also we would have differents vision of a same problem. This is particularly important in social problem such as inequality or poverty... and these are our priority.

10 A Piece of News

- A news very interesting, at this week, is the protest march of school teachers: they are organize and his statements caused a scandal in paper`s, tv and radios.

They decided, to suspend (or they was cancelled at class in public School`s (?) ), they said taked meseaures because, differents problems whithout education and politic`s public.


The most important demand is respect to a coller " historical debt", they asked the Govern and Department to education, a solution, a efective solution. But it`s don´t happenend yet.

Different people are involved: University Student`s want participle, also, Association of Father`s and representatives ( apoderados?). They give his support to teachers because believe a fair cause =) and me too belive the same.

This manifestation or strike* /huelga/, it´s organized in Stgo and different Regions of Chile -Arica to Punta arenas-. The represent`s will say .... ())) ) to meet of 90% of teachers of the Country.

I think, that this problem could be have solution, if a Govern, wiil be responsability again for the Public Education and His Public Worker... and if WE will be social and particitive persons really interesting of we feature of our Country, our Education, Our PEOPLE.

I Liked very much, will see a good piece of news respect to better polict`s public, and it`s worried o concerned about the future worker, and wiil see a happynes Teacher`s with his Historic Debt pay off.

9- What is the current situation in your faculty?

I believe that our Faculty of social science is very common to have problems with the books, and materials.
Also Is characteristic of our University, to have great prestige, and International recognition. In part, This is because a his Teachers and estudent`s engaged (comprometidos?). And NO neccesarily because his library or resources.

In many times, I had no choice and I have forced to go to UC and asked for the material I need. It Is neccesary to be very patient: Crying to "Guille" - librarian (?)- won`t solve anything, He`s always had the best intention to look our books.

The first steps to dealing with this situation is, to invest capital, is more, the idea woul`d be "there's a lot of money to invest in the library" =), look for the best material`s and had complete collection of the most famous writers and international scientist.

Also, the studens and his association may be more organized, and make to request more material and support. Perhap´s, we must work harder for this, but this is important, And We can´t continue acting as if nothing had happened, or think that we are not interested.

election Day

I am registered to vote since I was 18 years.
In My family has always been important to the "idea"" (?) of elections, but being able to vote for me was not an imposition.

However, this year we are all very disappointed, for the first time since I can remember, no one wants to talk about it. My grandparents are angry, my parents are disappointed and I am indifferent.

Before thinking about the qualities "of a future president, I think of the qualities" that we should take us as "people"....

Maybe if we try to be more participatory, má sinteresados in the things that happen .... in people, maybe .... things would be different.

But if we talk d of the ideal president, this would be one that really tried to move people, wake up.

On another subject, I never thought of not being political, if I make my dad: the Politics is dirty. and do not want in my life xD!.


5 problems of immediate solution:

Inequality in education, in opportunities: S
quality of life for our old people
Access to health
greater equity in the distribution wages (? salarios?)

7- Synthesis

" Brigitte, Germany's most popular women's mag, bans professional models
• Will only use 'real women' in photoshoots
• Editor sick of 'fattening girls up with Photoshop' "


In this article, to set out a subjet very ,..... arguable (?), It had relation whit the famous model`s, the perfect boddies and the "normal figures".

Accorging to German magazine "Brigitte", only 23 % of models are "normal women", they said that "the whole model industry is anorexic."; this is a hard truth, to be related to disrupt eating habits, A problem, it´s had differents and dangerous consecuences fhysical and psycological, not only for model`s but "normal woman", "normal person`s".

The hard demand for the "perfect body" in this fashion world has had drastic consequences: in
2006 two sister model`s -Uruguayan Luisel and Eliana Ramos-, died after extreme dieting.

Because, to problems like this, is that it was necessary to take precautionary measures: The Council of Fashion Designers of America recommended that runway models be aged over 16, in other country prohibited defiled those models weighing less than 11 lb............
also decided to promote healthy body images....

6- Criminal Laws

The Criminal Laws are really complicated subject; is a difficult topic itself (?).

For example, I do not know capital punishment is a good or effective way to reduce criminality... the idea is NOt reach that extreme point.
I find it hard to think of the good points of the capital punishment, I think only time that is a human life taken away for other human.... However there are crimes so terrible,
where perhaps the only possible punishment is that....

I do not believe that this mode it´s the best, If there are no structural changes: related to education, social mobility, networks to bench; ultimately more and better social policies (políticas?); not attack the underlying problem.
Also help to create programs to prevent "recidivism" by those who already were in jail.

I think these same points already exposed, are part of that crime rates increase,
I attribute it to poor social policies governmental that our country has.

Yes I've had experiences of mugging, one days after training, to lower the metro station, four children - aged between 12 and 15 years, stole my purse... this was a sad experience and I felt much anger!

In your opinion, what is the origin of the increasing criminality rates in Chile?-

Have you ever been a victim of a crime (burglary, pick pocketing, fraud, mugging, etc) Explain

5- what to do and where to go in Stgo.

I really love Stgo!
So many people will disagree whit me, but I think whith - guide (?) above- this can be a great city =)
There are many place to visit, some of my favorites are the parks, hills, historic streets, bars and more....
If I had 5 places or activities, in Stgo, I think these would be:

In firts Place, I would suggest visiting the museum pre-columbian art, then visit of Catedral and Main Square -Plaza de Armas?-. I think it is important to contextualize the foreigners, in relation to our origins.

Also, would show the "Parque Forestal", is really relaxing and you can enjoy quiet sunny afternoon..... also gives the chance to meet more people, including tourists from all over the world =).

Another place to go is the Cerro Santa Lucía, can take very good pictures from there - if the smog permits! :S-. You can be visit to the craft fair in front, and buy craft and souvenirs in typical materials of Chile.

Also, go to Central Market (?) -Mercado Central- and the Vega =) both are very interesting places, are full of colors, smells and flavors characteristic of Chile. The food is delicious, and most tourists will ever know this places. I liked

Finally, I RECOMEND visiting the "Piojera", this is a very old places, a sort of "bar", where one can taste the "Terremotos" - pipeño whit ice cream- or typical sandwiches and empanadas.
there is always music, and a great time there.
