Chile 2010, a country on his bicentennial year full of lies

Chile 2010, a country on his bicentennial year

Around two thousands years ago, on September 18, a group of people decided keep is loyalty to the Spain King, and is suppose that from that meeting emerge the decision to fight for the independence of our country, Chile. That is what we are really celebrating, the real independence should be celebrate the February 12.

Forgetting that, this year we celebrated the “bicentennial year”, so the year that is suppose to be happy or something like that, was catastrophic.

What I really want to talk is that this year was a year of mask lies.

On February 27, the hole country suffer an historic earthquake, many people die, many people are still disappear, many people loose their houses. Amid that, we had the change of president, who still has not respond to many affected. By example, on Dichato, many things are just like 6 months ago, and many things that are change is because the people that live there do it, that is called popular organization.

The strange of this situation is that in this situation the tv shows or the news never say anything, but when for mysterious reason they talk about the tsunami affected say wonderful about our president, our minister or about the mayor.     

For another way, the august 5, 33 miners were trapped 700 meter to depth. This situation made that many Chilean be worried about them, but the problem of that situation is that we all fall in the morbidity, all the Tv shows were worried not about the bad salaries conditions, or bad work condition, They were worried about the sentimental problems of one of them, they were worried about what said the letters, etc. things that are and neither will important. The only thing that was really important, they didn’t say it! I think that that happened for uncover the true or the private interest. I’m wondering if the government is working for what that kind of situation never comes back, or not.

For the moment the education minister is working, yes, but only in nonsense, like the new educational reform:

-          increase the salaries of the new teacher that are in the 30% best evaluate in the inicia test.

-          The scholarship to the student that choose any pedagogy career that have over 700 points on the PSU.

-          Pedagogic excellence prize.

-          Reduction to the hours destined to history and technology, and increase the hours of mathematic and language and communication.

-          Etc.    

This show that little by little, the civil organization and identity is going to disappear, without, is really difficult know the reality of our country, and the population will can’t develop his ideas with fundaments, and will be called ignorant.

This govermment the only thing that is doing is lying and suppressing the real opinion of the people.

        

Mapuche Conflict

Hi, how are you? Well I hope that fine.

Dear classmates, I have to accept that I don`t know much about this topic, not because I don’t think that is interesting, but I been don’t have enough time to inform myself. This can be a problem on the moment to talk about Mapuche Conflict, but I´m going to do the best I can.

For what I know, they are asking solutions for these problems, the most important is that a long time ago, the Chilean state stole them their lands, and now they are asking that his land turn back.

But this is not the most important, because from the 80`constitution, this kind of protest turns to be considerate like terrorism act, all this because Pinochet was worried in take care the private property most that in the people necessity.

This thing isn´t too much estranged, but the idea that this kind of law continuing working is disagreeable, I mean, I thought that concetacion was worried about the people needs, not only of the  money.   

I think that always is important to talk to resolve the problems, but I don´t know if to Piñera president is important the Mapuches welfare. Actually, I think that the most important for him is to get the confidence of the world, now that many stupid people turn to believe In him for the miners thing, is notebook is about obtain the confidence of the rest of the world (for example when he show up the paper that say: “Estamos bien en el refugio los 33”.

Finally, if I am in the correct, I think that Mapuches should continuing fighting for they ask, until they be really listen In consequence, I think that the first step must be from the government, because is the stated how must to gave.

My favourite music!

Hello classmates and teacher: In this oportunity I will like to talk about my favorite music.

I  think that I don`t have an especial kind of music, because it depend of my life moment.  For  example on the first semester on this year, the list of my cell phone music was related to twilight sound track (Paramore, Anya marina, Likke li, Muse, Linkin Park, Robert Pattinson, Tom Yorke, etc), piano (like Debussy, with “Clair de lune”, Yiruma with rivers flow in you,  kiss the rain, etc) and at this moment I like music that I can use fo dance, like: dancehall, a little bit of reggaeton, hip- hop, and other music that are related to Step up movie, like: shaggy, Sean Paul, Sizzla, Ciara, Charmillionaire, youngbloodz, Drew sidora, Chis brown, Keshia Cole or car movies (fast and furious), like  Ja rule, joe budden and more. This because I like to dace in my room on the nigths or when I don’t have nothing to do.

 Sometimes I think that to be a dacer is my frustrated dream, because I´m always dancing, inclusive yesterday, when I was waiting that the children of my catechesis groups went to confess them selves, I start to dance there, and I didn´t care make a fool in front of my children, or parent, or anyone else.

I too remember that in my adolescence, my favourite bands were 30 seconds to mars, My chemical romance, Panic at the disco!, and Panda, because in that moment the music was my only way to run away of my problems, and  took off the stress and the anger.

For another way, my favourite singer is Cristina Aguilera, because she have an amazing voice, and beside she´s always reinventing her self, trying new stiles, like soul, pop, gotic, retro, romantic, Ballad, etc. and her voice have been maturing with her too.   

How green am I?

Hi, well in my case, since I was a child I`ve been really worry about the environment: animal, insects (ok, this one not too much), plants, energy, and of course our health.

Hi think that in the case of people that doesn´t know too much about this topic can find many interesting things on the internet, like the causes: why our sky isn´t any more blue (I mean it´s a combination between sky- blue and lead gray), why there are more respiratory sicknesses, the motive of the climbing change, the dead of many kind of animal species, the consequences of our acts or if we don’t change our way of life, etc.

Well, like I say, the people can learn about the environment friendly practice on the internet, on the TV (like discovery channel, animal planet, national channel), on books, etc.

I think that many people know just a little bit of this topic, or information that with the past of the time is forget it, like me. In my case I like turn of the light each time I don’t used, but for the contrary I study with the notebook, and the TV turn on (that is the only way that I can concentrate while I´m studying), so the energy that I save, I use it studying.  This Isn´t the case of the water, because I take care it very much.

When I talk about transport, in fist case I don´t know drive, and I don´t have a car either, but when I travel in short distances, I like to use my roller skate (the problem is that the streets that are close of my house are not in good conditions and my bike have a tire puncture. But in general I´m really worry about this topic and I hope talk about it when I´ll be a teacher.

Some news related to education

Hello classmates and teacher, in this opportunity I want to talk about news that are important to me like a student of the career nursery and elementary teaching.  The common characteristic of these news are the Lavin and Piñera´s measures have been take to ¿improve? The national education: teacher salaries, SIMCE, PSU, etc.

 Some of these news are:

http://www.latercera.com/noticia/educacion/2010/10/657-297925-9-mineduc-aumentara-sueldos-de-los-mejores-nuevos-profesores.shtml

http://www.latercera.com/noticia/educacion/2010/10/657-298205-9-parlamentario-advierte-que-lavin-esta-transformando-la-educacion.shtml

News more real and less lying

http://diario.latercera.com/2010/10/03/01/contenido/pais/31-40386-9-chile-es-el-pais-que-revela-que-la-competencia-pura-no-mejora-la-educacion.shtml

http://www.elciudadano.cl/2010/08/29/la-carrera-%E2%80%9Cantidocente%E2%80%9D-del-mineduc/

That was a list really long, and I think that are more, even when are just stupid ideas that come from someone that have no idea about education. The main ideas and measures that Lain have been take are stupid, the problem of the education In Chile is that the student doest understand the importance of an education, because they see or believe that even when they strive, may never achieve their dreams. Is about get found a sense of the education, therefore, “parch ideas” never will be the solution. Many social scientist have found that our education is contaminated with political interest, content that are not significant for the student, official history, that doesn’t represent the real and social history of their lives, or many subjects that are not interesting for them, I mean why not music, dance, theater like obligatory subjects?, what kind of students do we want to form? A pacific student or a student that fight for what he believes that is important?

Beside this principal ideas of Lavin are related with more segregation, less quality, high scores and for last, less public education. Who have the foul: teachers?, students?, Schools?, the government? I think that all, but a semaphore, a map is not the answer to a problem of all the Chilean.

we are alive!

Hello! how are you?, well I hope that fine. In this opportunity I want to talk about the 33 miners that fight for theirs lives seven thousands kilometer under the ground two months ago. My impressions about this topic are very varied, because I think that the government as manipulate the information. I think that the only that matter to the president is don’t lose the confidence that many poor people have to him (because I think that the people that have money never is going to lose the confidence to him when is about poor people). More that the miners, is about the image that the president could change on the other countries if hit have bad results. I laugh of the people that believe that Golborne is a good Minister because the miners are alive, or because there are many plans taking place, I mean, that is his work, don’t you think? And for another way, I don’t like how the press has acted, uncovering the government, I think that are families that are not agree with many things and the press don’t say it. I think too that is not necessary talk every day about the mine, I mean, I don’t want to know every detail (ho much they eat, if they went to the bathroom, if a daughter was on is birthday, if one of them is separated, etc), because I think that is really gruesome. Any way, I am really happy because they are alive.  

Places to visit

Hi everyone, in this opportunity I want to write about different places that a foreign should visit in Santiago.
In the first place, I have to admit that I don`t know too many places on Santiago and less in Chile. I am a person that enjoys stay at home, watching movies, be on internet, reading books, etc. (It doesn`t means that I don`t like the nature, all the contrary, I enjoy watch: the sea, the trees, the sky, the mountains, etc. So the places that I can recommend are “Baños morales”, which are thermal springs locate beyond San José de Maipo, you can visit too Quinta Normal, because you can watch the nature: birds, trees, and of this way you can share with friends a nice, and simple day (I have a friend that say that is easy [not cheap] to share).
But, if you want go out with your friends on night, you can go to “Barrio suecia”, located in the subway station Los Leones, there are a lot of pubs, restaurant, and places available to enjoy and have an excellent night.

If you want to know about our history, you can to visit the “museo de la memoria y de los derechos humanos” that show all the pain that many people suffer in time of military dictatorship. The other museums that we have are: “Bellas Artes”,”Contemporáneo”, “Arte precolombino”, “Historico Nacional”, the MIM (“Museo interactivo Mirador”), where you can learn playing, and many others. If you want to know where these places are, you can Google it.

let go for a travel

Hi, in this opportunity I will like to talk about trips. I always dream with travel to Europe, more than a country in special, is go to the Europe continent, because there are many historic places. The principal places that I will like to visit are the churches. The cradle of the Catholic Church is in Europe, and for that I want to know the Vatican, Sistine chapel, and thousands of sanctuaries that are there. Beside, I always like me the universal history; Greece, Roma, England, Venice, Spain, and Egypt are my favorite’s places involve in her.

In this case, I want to know the coliseum, go to many museums, theaters use the train, go to pray in a silence place (any close chapel) and the Egyptian pyramids, and for an estrange reason, the Chinese wall. Is curious how the religion affect in all history to the art expression, like: music, paint, architecture, literature, sculpture, etc., for that, the history like me so mach.

In other opportunity I will like to go to Paraguay, because there is a foundation of a friend of my priest, Michelle, and he invites me to know it. There are schools, hospitals and other things that make me feel interested in go and maybe, work there.

What do I learn in my past term?

During the past terms, I think that I learn many thinks, and the most exciting is that this knowledge contributed in my future laboral life, and more important (for me), in my personal life.
This knowledge are related to my life vision. I thing that in this faculty is very difficult to be a catholic person, because many people talk against Catholic Church, and many times my vision of life has been affected for the things that my friends, teachers, partners says. The past semester, I learn that not all the people have the same life experience than me, and beside, like me, catholic church can make mistakes, because it`s conform by people, humans; and that the important is learn of us mistakes.
For another way, the experience in Dichato, teach me many things negatives too, like the politics and economic interest are affecting to Dichato`s people, but in opposite to this, I leran too that the union make the strength: That if we create a community, with interests in common, we can fight for them.
I learn in a curse with my partners that we can express our feelings and ideas by means of the words, songs, and through our body, dancing, and isn`t necessary use a choreography for do it.

blogs topics

Hi, well, in first place will like to say hello, and suggest some topic that are very interesting for my:
- Favourites sport: This, because when we are studying, we don’t have many time for ourselves, so in consequence, there is not many occasions were we can do some sport.
- Places that we like to travel: In my case, I don’t have enough money and time to know the places that I will like to know, wish are in general in other countries, and more, in other continents, so I will like to know what is the case of my partners.
- Our favourites places (that we already knows): In think that I don`t know many places, so I will like to know this paces by means of my partners.

My blogger experience

Well, I think that my experience with blogger have been good and bad, because I was used to translate from English to Spanish, so this change was very difficult in a sense, from other side, I like English, so this has been very interesting for me. I have to admit that in the beginning it was easier, because the words that you demanded were less, and each weeks is more difficult: In a grammar sense, and because I have to write more words in the same quantity of time, too.
Beside, in the beginning we have to write about topics that were more interest for me, like books, movies, etc., so It wasn`t so difficult to me write the 200 words.
I have to admit that in many cases this methodology helped me to enlarge and improve my vocabulary, and is very interesting talk about my opinion: Likes, dislikes, if I am agree with something or somebody, about my life, etc. It`s a great way to know my classmates, or in your case, to your students, so I hope that you don`t used against us (it`s a joke).
In other sense, I don’t have much experience with blogger, only with “Fotolog” or “Facebook”, and inclusive in these cases I use always the basics elements only, so I can assure you that this instrument help me to discover other things and uses of the computer (or internet).
In consequence, I think that the advantages of my blogger experience, are related with time, because in many cases 1 hour isn`t enough to do it, and I have to write in my house; and in the weekend I really don`t have many time for do it, so for this reason I had to send my post or comment on Tuesday. But, for another side, I can say that this experience help me to improve my language and my confidence in classes.

My confirmation

This picture was take it on May 10, 2008
This day was very important for me because I confirmed my love and devotion to Good, I told him: yes I want to follow you, no matter what happened now, I will always love you and give my life to you. It was the moment more important for me, because I think that it marks a before and after.
In the picture I have one candle that represents my light, my heart that receives to good, and I had the Cross on my neck that gave me that day, like a symbol of my dedication to God. The person that are in this pictures are my friends, they make me grow up, know more about Good, and in consequence, to the life, they opened his heart, accepted me every Saturday and Sunday. His names are: José, Claudio, Sebastian, Patricio, Jonathan, Lucia, Paula, Victor, Hector and Cesar, the last one, died 2 years ago in a car accident in San José de Maipo.
The other people are my monitors of confirmation: Danilo, Anita (only the first year), and Nury (from de second year to the third). The place was the parish Beato Pietro Bonnilli, and I have the lucky, that my own parish priest could lay his hands to me (when they give you something like the blessing). My godmother called: Victoria, and she`s the wife of my uncle.
I was very nervous because I had to sing in a part of the Mass, so I didn`t want to make mistakes.

TED conference

I think that he is great, he could do a resume of the most of things that are happening in the education, and is an impact that this phenomenon such in our country and in others too, so I question to myself, why is this?. The author say that we are not worries about the dreams of the children. I remember that when I was a girl I wanted to be a model, a singer, a dancer, I wanted to sweep the streets! yes! It very strange, but I remember that Its always liked me, but the money is obviously a problem, and beside this kind of works the people always step it.

Is very important that we ask to ourselves: I’m like my career? What I’m doing? I’m meeting my dream? Why? I choose my profession because I like the children’s, is a vocation that I discover when I ask to myself what can I do for God, and I’m happy of see to God on the kids. I want to teach, more that content, values, and for that is important that I consider his wishes, his desires (many times hides), for that we will have to create, like says the author, instances where kids discover to themselves.

In the actuality this is don’t happening, and the problem is that we cannot do partial solutions, we have to do a revolution, we have to change the order of systems, but is very important that we give a real significance to the education, do new projects. I know, it is not easy, but we must to start.

technologic

In the actuality is very important use the technology and I have a big curiosity about the new invents of technology, but I think that my problem in this sense is that I don´t know how used, so in this moment, my technologic pieces more important are the cell phone, and DVD:
The first one, because I need to be in contact with my family, friends, partners, etc, and also because I use my cell phone like a music player (I don´t have mp3), and also used like a digital camera, because my real photographic camera is broken.
The second one is because like I am a twilight fans, every moment that I don´t have nothing to do, I watch the movie over and over again and when I don’t want to see it, I watch any other movie. For that is that I think that one of my favorites hobbies is watch movies, and in consequence, I think that I should agree the TV, it is because when I`m not studying, watching movies, or in the church, I am watching the television: Comedies (Martin Rivas), or TV shows, like “Calle 7”. The good think of this is that this objects you can get it in many places, is not difficult obtain it, like in the market, in the shopping, on stores, etc.
Finally, like you can see, I am not a technologic person. I thing that the cell phone, TV, OR DVD, are not too much difficult to find it, so I Think that in this sense, I am very simple and easy to please.

http://www.opech.cl/

My favorite web site is http://www.opech.cl/ because in this one, the professional talk about the problems that affect to Chilean education . I found this web site because many teacher that I have talk about it, like professor Rodrigo Sanchez in the subject “Understanding of the social environment”, and for another side, in the general course “Chilean educational politic in the 9o`s” (My professor used like bibliography).
This web site have a critic vision about the education of this country, using the methodology: quantitative, qualitative, but above all, the critical. The last one is the more important por me because we can realize of what the big elite hide to us, or why, in really we will use the SIMCE test for measure what the students are learning.
In one document, for example with my partners can realize of what happended the day of the earthquake, the bad communication that was between SHOA and FFAA, why the people receive help so late, the consequences in the politic, the lies, and son many thinks that happened on 27th February.
This web site is very important for all of us because like future professional on the education we must have a critic vision, we must be reflexive about our social context and don`t be victims of the market system in education.

Catholic faith to the test

I think that Catholic Church isn’t in crisis. Is possible that in the few days everybody speak of this problem, but this facts happened in many years ago, and I don’t know why the press speak of this just now, is possible that they are creating panic moral, that affect to everybody, not only to pope, or church. I believe that the case of pedophilia is disgusting, there isn’t justification, but I have to say that pedophilia happened in more quantity in other religions. Anyway, I think that the Catholic Church isn’t in risk, because beyond the people believes, the church is formed by people, we are human, and like me, the priest can mistakes. Now, if they are not regret, of course that we must do something, because someone like them can`t be on service to kids; remember that Jesus says “Let that kinds come to me”, they are the most important for us, we must protect them. I think that the faith in God we don’t lose it for think like this, there are important, of course, but my faith does not depend of that. A friend of the Church said: “I suffer with the Church, whit the accused, and whit the victims… Lord, help to your church, Saint and sinner”.

Twilight saga

Well I must to admit that I’m a twilight fan, I think that I have seen this movie like a ten different times, the same append with new moon. This is the first time that I am a fan of something, so this is new to me. I am a little obsessed with this movie, especially with the book. I think that this happened to me because I like the love stories, and twilight saga is it, pure love and unconditional. This love is dangerous, because Edward (the principal personage), is a vampire and wish the Bella’s blood like no other, Bella is his how marc of heroine. The beautiful of this is that Edward love her so mach, that contain his wish of drink the Bella’s blood, for be with her, the same as Bella, she love him so much that she can risk is how life for be with him too, she love hem inclusive knowing that he`s a vampire, she sacrifice her soul for be with him for all the eternity (I now that this kind of love is impossible in the real life, but dream isn’t prohibited).

The faith in the earthquake

The February 27th, I was with my church friends in a party, it was finishing. I remember that we were talking about the meaning of the lent, why this is important for the catholic. We where sit in the garden when my friend Luis felt that the floor was moving. I must to add that I don’t have afraid to the tremor because I never feel it so this earthquake was a new experience for me and inclusive amazing.
In the week after the earthquake, with my church friends recollect aliments, and the Saturday after, I have a meeting with the priest and with pastoral juvenile for talk about our experience, sensations, what do we learn, etc and too were to the houses to talk whit the people.
Finally I can say that this experience increase my faith, I think that the faith is recognized to Christ in the experience, in the problems, in the people. I think that the union can do many thinks, but if we don’t give a sense to the things, we are nothing.

prospects

well, I think that like it´s the first time that we have the opportunity to talk, is important for me to say that I’m like the English, and in consequence I always going to talk, even if I do it wrong or good. I must to admit that in the most of the time I will do it wrong, because I consider that I don’t have a good English in the school, in fact, the only think we do in this class was traduce text, with dictionary or with help of the teacher, is for all this that maybe in the beginning you don’t understand me at all, but I will do my best effort to learn, and contribute for what we have a nice time in your class. goodbye!
