8th Task: How green are you?

The truth is that I am not an ecological person, in the sense of the person's typical image in bicycle that recycles all that can, and it avoids to damage the environment to all thing. In spite of that yes I consider that I fulfill certain minimum standards that for the fact of living in society should complete, I eat for example, never to throw away garbage in public places.

But I find that it stops our current society, doesn't pay for cost of contaminating, but rather on the contrary, we always prefer that "another" solves the problem. Then we save ourselves a cost, but we generate a bigger cost for the Society and the State.

Although it is certain there is not a lot of education in this respect, since in the school or in your family they can become trained that it is the correct thing" (ecologically speaking), but if the incentives don't exist to act in a certain way, we don't probably act like we should make it.

This lack of interest is born of the example of the behaviors that make other people, because many times although you know that it is not good for the environment throwing away garbage, you think but everybody makes it"… there is Also other causes and they refer to the subjective valuations toward the things, people don't probably value so much to the environment, like they value its time, (time that they can dedicate to work, to rest, to leave purchases, etc) the money, the love, or other you interest. And this problem has practical relevance for example to the moment to decide among walking in bicycle or in automobile, and the excellent thing is that if I value more to the environment I will go in bicycle, but as the truth it is that our lives are limited, and the society imposes us to carry out many activities in little time, we prefer the speed that can provide us an automobile.

If people were rational as they say the books of Economy, would we probably take care more our environment, will the future home of the new generations be since, but apparently the economy yes is right in something, is the homo economicus selfish, and is to be selfish to be rational"…???? perhaps if, perhaps not.

7th Task Chilean Miners, San Jose Issue

The history of the Chilean miners, the day 5 of August of the 2010 in that 33 miners were buried to 700 meters deep under the earth in the mine San José begins. First there was great shock in the whole country, a lot of sadness and few hopes, nobody believed that they could be saved, all thought that a rescue was impossible. Also all said that the 33 miners were already dead.

After 17 days it happened the wonderful miracle, the miners through the probe sent a paper leaf that had written: "We are well in the refuge the 33 written with red letters. This small message returned the happiness, the trust, the faith, the hope to a whole country.

After all that happiness, the main concern was to know the conditions in that the miners, its feeding and its health were living, with the help of a team of compound professionals for doctors, engineers, miners, the works of shipment of foods and the communication intents began to know the details of the situation.
One of the first questions was the how they were able to survive 17 isolated days, and the answer was: "eating two tuna spoonfuls, every 48 hours", that is incredible.

After some days, the communication is achieved and it was interesting the fact that the miners but that concerned of its situation, they were worried by people that were in the exterior, its wives, children, and the other miners.

Then the most difficult task began: the rescue, and the truth is that precedents of a rescue of these magnitudes didn't exist, for what possibility didn't exist of learning of the experience of developed countries.

Then the rescue was made to the Chilean way", carrying out rehearsals for a medical, military compound team and engineers, they will save the miners through a metallic capsule that will transport them (very similar to an elevator) nicknamed as " Phoenix " that on the average would delay 50 minutes between to lower and to ascend to the surface.

The history finishes after 68 days, with the 33 safe miners, with an entire happy town for its national heroes, but without a doubt the happiest were its families that were waiting for them eagerly, but that in any moment they lost the faith, an unyielding faith, an iron faith.

Affectionate greetings

6th Task; The Guardian;http://www.guardian.co.uk/

I will comment the news of GUARDIAN.CO.UK that you can find in this link: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2010/oct/22/games-sony about the sales of the last toy of Sony, "the Playstation Move Controller", this control allows to play virtual games through the recognition of the player's movement whose public addressee, is that of the casual players that they are those that play in occasions family games, of medium difficulty", etc. For that that thanks to this apparatus the company Sony, will be able to capture the public that it likes of this type of games (generally associated to people that have the Nintendo Wii). I have this control, for what I can share my experience, it is a very precise control that emulates in a very precise way your movements.

But regarding the games that can be used by the " Move " I find that it still lacks to improve, because for the time being we only have games for casual players, the interesting thing is that soon they opened new games " hardcore " that will have support with this apparatus, and I find that very positive since we will have a wide variety of games to choose and to enjoy hours of leisure, either with the family, friends or playing on-line

Also, I not only recommend them that they buy one of these apparatuses, but rather minimum is bought two, since the idea is to play with two people, since it makes that the game is much more interesting and more amusing. To have two controller is also necessary to play some games, I eat one of fights for example, in which a control represents your sword and the other one the shield.

To finish I can only mention as negative point, their high price, since to be able to play you don't require only of the " controller ", but rather of a special camera, additional games, and also the console PS3. Nevertheless the above-mentioned, is a good purchase for those that you/they like of the games and the technology.

Greetings.

5th Task ; My favourite places in santiago

The truth is that I don't know a lot of Santiago, although I live here, I believe that it always interests me more to know the distant thing that the near things. But in spite of that, more than the place, interests me much more people with which am sharing in some place, for what the good moments in that I have passed it very well, are not necessarily places that it would recommend, but yes they are places that we remember with love next to my friends. One of those places is "La Piojera", a very amusing place to share with the friends, where you can drink swigs and to eat traditional foods, forget the hot dog, French fries, hamburgers, because that won't find there, if you go, you have to be willing to eat turnovers, hard eggs, pig ham, and also to drink the characteristic " earthquake ".

Another place that I recommend is since the brown " Caburga " that is an appropriate place to go after English's classes, it is located in the Patio Bellavista very near to the Law school of University of Chile.. It is a place go to drink a coffee, drink, or some swig, also sells some rich turnovers and pizzas to very convenient prices, overalls if you are of the University of Chile. If you want go to converse with somebody, this is the place.

If you want a more family atmosphere, you can also visit the "Club Gran Avenida, where you can enjoy of rich roasted, swigs, live music, competitions, karaoke, everything in a very pleasant atmosphere.

Thank you for paid attention,

Greetings.

4th Task cinema, movies, directors...

I have many favorite movies, to choose one is very difficult, among my favorite ones: Réquiem for to Dream, Cinema Paradiso, A Clockwork Orange, Dead Poets Society, schindler's list, but like I have to choose to a, I will comment them about the movie "the best of youth"(La Meglio Gioventù) of the Italian director Marco Tullio Giordana.

"Chronological, from 1963 until 2003, moving around Italy, from Rome to the floods of Florence in 1966, student unrest in Turin, Mafia murders in Palermo, chance in Milan, plus two trips to Norway. Brothers Matteo and Nicola, of opposite temperament, try to free Giorgia, a teen, from a mental institution: their failure leads Nicola into psychiatry and Matteo to the police. In Florence, Nicola meets Giulia, a musician and leftist whose Red Brigade ties drive them apart after they have a child. In Palermo, Matteo meets Mirella, a photographer; they connect again in Rome. The film explores love, family, friendship, politics, mental illness, tragedy, and opportunities to forgive and to heal.”


That that more I liked of this movie it is that in spite of their long duration (6 hours) when seeing it it doesn't bore me in any moment, and the beautiful thing is to see like it changes the life of people along the time, the human relationships among the friends and the family, and the way in that the things that happen to us (they affect) they define the things that we make (what we are). But I would like to allow you to Watch the movie and comment, for that that until here my comment arrives,

Greetings.

3rd Task :Mapuche Issue

The mapuche is a town Chilean native that in the language mapudungún earth people mean (for the Mapuche, the word doesn't exist in plural "mapuches", because that is a degeneration of its language, che, non ches only exists), they are the direct ancestors of what today knows as Chilean, for that that in some sense, they could be our grandparents.
The problem mapuche in a very wide sense is that them (or us) they don't have a recognition on the part of the juridical system, but apparently they neither want that, because they are not considered Chilean, but rather simply mapuche. But what is even more serious is that the government qualifies them as " terrorists " and that without a doubt is one of the most serious imputations that can be made to a person.

I believe that I cannot give a solution to the problem neither anything of that, but I can only say that this government in particular and the media, they transform to this important topic into a joke, a joke, a true Roman circus, apparently the " masse " has a good time when seeing like the gladiators die (mapuche) in hands of wild wild animals ("the police").

The government is also of party, celebrating the Bicentennial of Chile, we have music, lights, days of rest foods, and for the other side to the mapuche in strike of hunger. I don't understand as the government it can promote so much bread and circus for the town, considering the current situation of our siblings.

I only mean that we don't criminalize more people to be, and let us give him today what they request us………. Only some respect

2nd Task: a country you´d like to visit.

I would love to know Germany, since I consider that it is a country of a very developed culture, their universities, their people, their landscapes. I would love to learn German, and to be able to study in some University some Posgrado in Law. But I would like to know the city of Köln because I have a friend that lives near there, it is a very nice German that I would like go to visit, he is a kind, honest, amusing person, regarding which I have very good memories.

But I would like to know the beautiful German landscapes, the rivers Rhin and Danubio, the Alps, the German castles, I would Also like to go during the date in that takes place "Oktoberfest", and to enjoy the best beers in the world, where you will be able to drink of the most varied, of all colors and flavors. And not only that, but rather it is also an opportunity to know their beautiful women jeje.

Nevertheless the above-mentioned, would like me to go to Germany but also to other countries of Europe, and the good thing is that you can travel Europe in train at very low costs, and I find that very attractive because the ideal thing is to know several countries and I don't only unite.

Second semester 1st Task

Hello to all! I will begin to speak about my experience of the last semester, regarding the bad things of my personal life, the worst thing that happened to me to be in " Iloca " during the earthquake, believes that that is a negative experience that I will forget never, the faces of those people, and an entire destroyed town, I believe that I prefer not to write about that.

Changing topic, regarding the academic thing the last semester was very complicated regarding the studies, a lot of work, very difficult subject, but in spite of that I learned many interesting things. I believe that English's course is very amusing, because I forget for moments that I study Law, and we carry out English's course in that it is shared a lot with the class partners and also in that know people that study different things as arts, biochemistry, etc. But the best in that course they are the activities in classes in that you can converse and to play with your partners, this is novel because generally in another type of courses one doesn't have a good time a lot.
I decided take this course again, because it was a very pleasant experience, but I hope this semester is even better, I hope to know people of other careers with which it is it can share and to converse about interesting topics.
