ANIMALS
I consider myself an animal lover because I have always admired for their freedom and nature with  they do their activities. My first pet was a dog named Anita. She was a labrador and was blonde. She had 7 puppies and she didn't let anyone touch them. I always wanted a monkey if that would be legal.
I agree with the idea to discover new treatments or medicines for the cure of certain diseases in animals, because it is an obligation to care for them and keep them in mind forever. If it's necessary to use them for the good of the rest, I would be agree with that. What i'm in disagree is that some people have animals in the zoo, because it is a right of them to have freedom, therefore, it is our duty to give them that freedom. On the other hand, if the zoo wouldn't exist, we could not observe the amazing kinds of animals, but I am still against with the idea.
I've been bitten by a dog once and it was product of my insensitivity. After that event, i had and i still have more respect for dogs and animals in general.
If I had to choose which animal i would, I would choose some kind of bird because I cannot get rid of the idea or the fact that one can fly by itself, and if i could, i would never put a step  in the earth.

Hi again! Today i will talk about a photograph that i like.
This picture was taken by Henri Cartier-Bresson in France in 1932 and called it "Detrás de la estación de San Lázaro". His phylosophy in photography prove that he want to search the "decisive moment". Cartier-Bresson searched for the full presence of the photographer in what was happening in front of the viewer: head, eye and heart have to be focusing on the same thing. He said that we, as photographers, must "be" with all ourselves in the photo: "We work in movement, a kind of feeling of life. The photograph has to catch it expressive balance ". The decisive moment is, in this photo, when the character is in the air or suspended in the space because it is something that we see but it is really difficult to catch it with your camera. I like this photograph because cause me the impression that the man who took this photo had his camera in the arm every day and every time that he leave his home to do anything.

My favourite piece of technology:

I think that techonology it is a big problem in the society today. A few group of people doesn't like this pieces and find it boring.
I am part of this modern society because i use technology every day. 
In my opinion, globalization put music into a circle that everyone that wants it, can get it. This has a bad and a good face. To the musicians is very hard to defeat the copy and piracy when they are selling their albums, that's why they are doing more concerts. The good face is that everyone can download music for free. 
My favorite piece of technology is my Ipod, because i love music and i listen to it every day, travelling to the university, to my house, while i'm walking and while i'm sleeping, all day. The best of this piece is that, like others players of music, you can travel to any part of the world and listen to your favorite music.

I get it the last year. I bought it to a classmate and it was really hard to earn the money, but finally i got it and it was one of the best things i ever did.

You can use this by touching the screen and you can charge by connecting to the computer using Itunes, a program that you must have in your computer. 

I guess my life without my Ipod would be boring and i would have a very bad travels day by day because music take away you from the real life.

Hi again!

This time i will talk about dreams. Sigmund Freud used to consider dreams as "The Royal Road to the Unconscious" in his book "The interpretation of dreams".
For me, dreams are an expression of ourselves that show our deepest desires, independently if they are related to sexual desires, no matter if they are related with objectives in life or just a nightmare. Our dreams represent our unconscious.
I don't really remember dreams frequently, but when i remember one, this dream stays in my mind for a long time. I usually get a deja vu: when i do a thing that reminds me of something that i did. Dreams are very diffuse in relation with the colors i see. I could never say what colors i see in my dreams.
I think that having dreams make us humans, because they are the reason why we live, if we didn't have any dreams or desires in our lives it wouldn't make any sense.
I don't think that money is very important in our lives and also i think that money is the direct destruction of the people in general. If i had a very powerfull influence in this days, i would end inequality. That's because i think the world should be a fairer place.

For me, music is something that goes away from reality. This extraordinary thing makes me feel happy; makes me go away from the problems that i have every day. I listen all type of music every single day: at home, in the library, in the street, in the bus, travelling to my home, travelling to my practice, etc.  a admire all type of music.
I like all sorts of music because i think that each song have a purpose and it is a peace of art, but i like specially reggae, jazz, soul, and mostly hip hop and rap (in difference between me and my teacher). I hate reggaeton because i think that have no sense or purpose showing the defeat of the man. Reggeaton talks about money, woman (treated like things), sex and material things.The truth is that i don't have a favorite singer but i like a lot Bob Marley, A tribe called quest, Ana Tijoux, Jimmy Hendrix, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Los Tetas, Natiruts, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Amy Winehouse, Notorious Big, Nas, Los Amigos Invisibles, Portavoz, Liricistas, Jurassic 5, The Beatles, etc. I like them because they have or had always wanted to transmit a message, like peace, unity, armony, and sometimes they talk about they philosophy, what they really live in the place were they were born. They talk about respect and values that are always be present in our lives.
I love concerts and i think it is a great inversion, that's why i often pay to see the artists that i like. Recently i went to see Ana Tijoux in a bar and it was wonderful  I don't think that rap is all bullshit. I think that rap can express what people feel about our system or politics, about daily routines, talks about real values, like friendship, respect, love, and many things and feelings that others genres don't have the capacity to express. Talks about what people really need in our society and justice. Rap music is something that shows and teach us whats is real in life and teach us what we can do with this reality.I listen to the radio every day in my kitchen with my brothers and family and its cool because we discover new music.
The first memory of learning a song that i have is when i was in school, i learning "Los lagos de Chile" . We had to memorize this song and play it with a "Zampoña".About 3 or 4 years ago i learned to play traverse flute but i have forgotten how to play it. Now i want to buy a new Saxophone but all i need is ca$h.
Music is so important for the world. When i write this i think in what would be the world without music. Music is the component of the human that makes him think about the real things and real problems that are present in the daily life. If the music doesn't exists the were no thinking and no expressive in the acts of the man. This thing that we call music is the expression that characterizes each culture and have a signification to all the people. With music we can show ideas and solutions to the problems of the people.

I really admire Jean William Fritz Piaget (1896 - 1980).
He was an epistemologist and a psychologist, creator of genetic epistemology. He is famous for his contributions in the field of genetic epistemology, for their childhood studies and for his theory of cognitive development and intelligence. Piaget was born in 1896 in Neuchatel, in the Francophone region of Switzerland.
Piaget was a precocious child who developed an interes in biology and the natural world. He was educated at the university of Neuchatel, and studied briefly at the University of Zurich. Piaget moved from Switzerland to Paris, after his graduation and he taught at the Grange-Aux-Belles Street School for Boys. The school was run by Alfred Binet and he stated that intelligence developement so Piaget assisted in the making of Binet's intelligence tests. It was while he was helping to mark some of these tests that Piaget noticed that young children cosistently gave wrong answers to certain questions. Piaget did not focus so much on tha fact of the children's answers being wrong, but that young children cosistently made types of mistakes that older children and adults did not. This led him to the theory that young children's cognitive processes are inherently different from those of adults. In 1923, he married Valentine Chanetay and they had three children, whom Piaget studied from infancy. From 1925 to 1929 he was professor of psychology, sociology and the philosophy of science at the University of Neuchatel. 
In his logical model of intellectual development he mention that intelligence develops in a series of stages that are related to age and are progressive because one stage must be accumplished before the next can occur. For each stage of development the childs forms a view of reality for that age period.
Next, the child must keep up with earlier level of mental abilities to reconstruct concepts. He defined this as an "spiral of concepts".
I admire Piaget because he created a new conception of education, which was very important and is important today too.

Hi there! well, here's a little about myself:


I was born in Providencia on February 1, 1994 at Santa María's clinic, just one day before my mom's birthday.
I went to Andalué's garden and then i started my school life in Verbo Divino's school where I made many friends. This school taugh me that there will always be people who care about themselves and not care about the lives of others, anyway, i could get out of that bubble and enter Universidad de Chile in 2013 to study psychology.
Basketball has always been my partner along my life and thanks to this sport i could enter to this good university.
I also like music, especially reggae, funk, hip hop and jazz and I listen to it everyday.
In my family we are 6: my dad and mom, Valentina my older sister, my brother Teodoro, my brother Ignacio, and then me, the youngest of the family!
