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.

4- High School Education

I believe that my years of High School were good, perhaps not the best of my live.
I had not bad moments and I did have nice friends.
In other point, adolescence in School, is complicated, there are many changes and new situations, new ways of behaving (?), the firt boyfriend, etc.

I was always good student, I struggled (?) quite, had to have time to train; almost weekend I had competence - just like now! :S-.
I Liked most the subjects, whit the others I studied more :/.

I had excellent teachers, the kid that you remember for ever!

I think, that the level of education of school affect, even determines life later.... Conditiones and preparation, that giving schools are very different for a "sector" or socioeconomic class than other. Often determines, what you will.

One of most important factors, to improve to improve education is to "pursue" (?) equity; less intoaccount take standardized (?) test, that only increase inequality.

I think people do have responsability for their education, but is it unacceptable, that as society, Knowlendge (???) that we do not, the estructurals problems of education in Chile.
