My favorite subject

My favorite subject is Social psychology. My teacher is Pablo Valdivieso, he´s very funny and didactic.  I love this class because we can talk and say what we think about differents things. In this class we can talk abaut the subject and what we read; and then our teacher say some conclussions about it.
In this semester I learn about social groups, how they organize what they do and the differents groups that exist. Then, we talk about violence and how this affect the society.
I think that this is  a great class because we learn thing about our society, how they organizate and what they do.
something else?... well, I think that Social Psychology it´s an important class because makes me 
learn about where I live and what they do.

About the video “Do Schools Kill Creativity?”*

Sir Ken makes some insightful and useful talking points, however, keep in mind that these points have been researched for a long time. Developmental and educational psychologists have been writing on these aspects of education, learning, creativity, child perception and adult perception.
The education makes us think that we must to be a doctor, lawyer or an ingineer; and try to say that careers like art, music, theater or something like that, aren´t funcionalily and the sistem it isn´t doing for peolple who do things like that.
In the school, we must do as teachers says, and childs can´t make priority to they want, for example dance or sing;
It is called the Level System. It is a custom education system to each unique individual.
Education needs to be vast and much more inclusive to new ideas, cultures, technologies, discoveries and techniques so that our children are afforded every opportunity to be all they can be. No one should ever be brought up forced to fit into a mold or box that stunts their imagination or creativity.

My Future.*

I don`t know what i`m going to do in 5 years. Maybe i`ll be studing my postgrade and working somewhere. I hope I have a car and my own apartment.

In 2014,I want to travel with my best friends and have our own caffe nearto the beach,I know, it´s so ridiculous, but my friends study design, architecture and cine, and when we was in the school we wanted to have a special place for us.

I´ll be living here,in Santiago or in a small town, with a lot of trees and green grass.  I don´t know if my boyfriend will be with me or I will be alone, but I only want to be whit people that I love. I´ll be studing and working with childs or in a hospital (i´m not sure)

My ideal future?? Well, I think that I have to study for a long time; but I want to do it. Then, I want to have my own things, my family and my friends near to me. I only want to be happy.

The best in your area *


I love psychoanalisis, and I think that Lacan and Freud are the best, but i prefer to talk about Freud, because I read more things about him.

I think that Freud is the best in my area. He was born may 6 of 1856, in Londres. He was a neurologist and created psychoanalysis. He did a lot of theories about psychoanalist and proposed the structure of the mind and divided it in three areas: "I, Super I, It", who described the level of consciousness in the man.

Freud has been influential in two related but distinct ways. He simultaneously developed a theory of how the human mind is organized and operates internally, and a theory of how human behavior both conditions and results from this particular theoretical understanding. This led him to favor certain clinical techniques for attempting to help cure psychopatology. He theorized that personality is developed by the person's childhood experiences.

I think that Freud is the best , because he could explain how we articulate our actions in funtion of our mind, experiences and chilhood stages.

p s y c o l o g y ??... My career

Psychology?
I`m not sure, but I think that I choose this career because i wanted a mixture between biology and philosophy. When I was in the secundary, I wanted to study chemistry or biology, even , I study one year biology in the Universidad Católica; but when the year was finish, I realised that it wasn´t what i want to do the rest of my life.
Psychology it´s a career where you have a lot of options to chose, like clinic , judicial, labour or social area. or wherever you want; i think that this is one of the most important reasons for why I choose it. I wanted a career where you can do a lot of things at the same time, in differents places and areas, with one or a lot of people... and this career it´s psychology.
I love the mixture and all the things that I can learn in one class, but i don´t like read a lot of books, papers or things like that.
When I finish to study, I want to work in a hospital or in psycology investigation. I love biology and I want to work where I can do things connected with the science.

PhoTos*

 I Love this picture. It  was taken for a commercial of United Colors of Benetton, who promote the idea that we are all the same.
The reasons go beyond the good capture, the color, his author, the idea or why it was taken.The ‘Handcuffs’” poster set out to develop a sense of common humanity that transcends skin colour. Not all were convinced about the wisdom of the campaign however. The photograph poses the question: who is the policeman, who the criminal?, and the answer is that although we are taught by our social conditioning and the popular media to think of law-enforcers as white and the perpetrators of crime as black, in fact of course we do not know. In the handcuffs photograph, we become aware that the cultural identity of both black and white peoples, their place in history, their social standing, are inextricably linked. The white background serves to emphasise both the connection between the two hands, and their separation. The image is sharply focused. We can see every hair standing up on the white hand and every crease and wrinkle on the black.

I Think that this photo represent the union between two different worlds without importance the color of the skin or  conditions, they both are Handcuffe. Sometimes we think that the color defines what can we do or what can we say, but this picture represent that this idea it isn`t always true. Different people with differents colours  (yellow, black or white) can live togheter and do the same things. The colour don´t represent our abilities.

My most precious possesion*


I have a lot of precious things to me, like photos, letters, rings of my granny Emma or cds with videos; but I think that the most important possesions to me are my camera and my photo album.

When I was 15 I took a photography class in Copiapó, It was great and I learnt a lot of greats effects with my camera. Then, Gabriel and me started to take a lot of photos to my friends, family, streets, leave houses, flowers or wherever that I could see near to me (even ants or flies).

I have a great photo album with this pictures. When I feel alone, I look this pictures and I start to remember greats moments like my summer vacations, beach with my best friends, my uncle Ana and my daughters, my turtle (Matilda), my parents, my school and a lot of things that I love.

The picture album it´s great, my mom bought it in Bahía Inglesa, in a handicrafts free market, in one of our summer vacations; it´s small with a lot of brow recycle papers sheets. It´s not like all the photo albums, because it has photos, poems and flowers, I love it !. My camera it´s cool, It was a Christmas preset from my dad .

I think that this album it´s my most precious possesion because it´s like a memories'box, with all the things that I loved and I love.
