HOW GREEN ARE YOU?

I think people don’t learn environmentally friendly practices. I think that, as well as values, people acquire these practices. You have to grow up with these knowledge of taking care of the environment: only like that you get concerned about the environment in your house, with your family, or your closest community. School helps at it only if it teaches you new techniques to help the environment such as different ways of recycling; but you don't become environmentally friendly there. Personally, I didn’t have the chance to learn these techniques at school but I got to learn them on the internet or TV programs. 
The problem about recycling, now that I have mentioned it, is that the recycling service is only available to a few people. Only rich parts of our city have the propper places where to easily deposit you garbage; in my commune there are almost no such things (and if there is one, there's no way to know where it is or how to get there), and my garden is not big enough to have a compost place. I also live to far away of the university, so I can´t walk or use the bycicle to get there.
So the thing, for me, is to be concious that being environmentally friendly has a lot to do with social segregation.

The reasons exposed above explain why I haven´t supported any eco-organisations. I don'd have money to give to them, and I don´t trust such big institutions.

I think there are many good projects that are developed in some places in my city that do not depend on the local government or NGOs. Once I find one, I'll certainly contribute to it.
People in Santiago should do the same.

My favorite class

Hi Classmate!

Today I like to tell you about my favorite course. It´s one I'm very closely related to, and that I've decided to take very seriously because of it´s importance.I'm talking about social history.
The most beautiful thing about it (and generally about my career) is that we learn to know about us as a culture by studying those who are different. It helps to have an open mind about how are the people in the world, and to be more tolerant.
The  social history studied by the concept of culture helps to understand the social movements and popular groups of our times. Social history is essential to anthropology because it helps to understand the conformation of these groups to help them later on their social and emotional development.
One of the professionals that I admire and teaches about this is Daniel Fauré Polloni. He dedicates to study this groups and help’s by the popular teaching to make them up socially and politically to be able to confront difficulties that capitalism represent in our country.

I think it is thanks to this subject and course that I am how I am, and that I have my own way of thinking.
There are many current things going on where social history as a discipline could help a lot. One of those many situations is the case of the mapuche resistance in the southern part of my country.

I include here a picture made some months ago, that tells about a march that took place in Santiago in order to support the fight and cause of the mapuche.

I hope you try to find out more about these subjects!

Regards.

A job I would like to have

About Stars Wars

Hi classmate!

Today I like to take about the movie Stars Wars. 

Star Wars is an American epic space opera franchise that consists of a film series created by George Lucas. The film series has spawned a media franchise outside the film series called the Expanded Universe including books, television series, computer and video games, and comic books. These supplements to the film trilogies have resulted in significant development of the series' fictional universe. These media kept the franchise active in the interim between the film trilogies. The franchise portrays a universe which is in a galaxy that is described as far, far away. It commonly portrays Jedi as a representation of good, in conflict with the Sith, their evil counterpart. Their weapon of choice, the lightsaber, is commonly recognized in popular culture. The fictional universe also contains many themes, especially influences of philosophy and religion.

The first film in the series was originally released on May 25, 1977, under the title Star Wars, by 20th Century Fox, and became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon, followed by two sequels, released at three-year intervals. Sixteen years after the release of the trilogy's final film, the first in a new prequel trilogy of films was released. The three prequel films were also released at three-year intervals, with the final film released on May 19, 2005. Reactions to the original trilogy were mostly positive, with the last film being considered the weakest, while the prequel trilogy received a more mixed reaction, with most of the praise being for the final movie, according to most review aggregator websites. Some of the films in the series were also nominated for or won Academy Awards. Asequel trilogy was rumoured at one time but never materialised.

All of the main films have been a box office success, with the overall box office revenue generated by the Star Wars films (including the theatrical Star Wars: The Clone Wars) totalling $4.49 billion, making it the third-highest-grossing film series, behind only theHarry Potter and James Bond films. The success has also led to re-releases in theaters for the series.

Well that all

Regards
