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

My best holiday

Hello classmate!

I guess my best holiday was the one I spent last summer in Bolivia and Peru with my boyfriend.
We were travelling for about five weeks, starting on monday 5th of february. It was a lot of time for me, but it was the first time in my life I left Chile, so I would have travelled a lot more if I had more time.
As I said, I went there with my boyfriend, but we managed to meet a friend of mine in Coroico, Bolivia, so we wer not alone all the time.
I visited many places, and spent finally much more time in Bolivia than expected. We started in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile, and then went to Calama to wait until a bus could take us to Uyuni, the first place we visited in Bolivia. After going to the saltflat, we carried on to Potosí. We loved that city, even though the people in there were not the most lovely. We wanted to go to Oruro after that, but as the carnival of Oruro was taking place there were no buses available. So we went to Sucre and Santa Cruz, afterwards.
Santa Cruz was not specially interesting, but that´s because we did not know where to go and had to improvise for two days.
After that, we arrived at La Paz, where we spent the most of the days visiting many places in the near (like Tiwanaku and Coroico) and buying books. Then, we travelled to Copacabana, in the Titikaka lake, and went to the Island of the Sun, were we camped (even though the rain was very strong!).
After taking a last trip to Cusco, in Peru, we decided to go back to Chile, but not before stopping in Iquique to enjoy the beach and the warm Sun of the north.
I guess this holiday was so good because I lived a lot of new things, and visited places I hardly knew even existed! But most of all, I think I will always remember that time because I got to know myself and the places I had to study during that term at the university better.

That´s all!

Regards.

P.S. I´ll include a foto of me in the ruins of Tiwanaku. I hope you like it!

10 Reasons Why You Should Visit Italy

Hi classmate!

Today I'd like to talk about Italy because is a country I´d like to visit.
Here are some of the reasons why I would love to visit it.

The good food and wine
Italian food is naturally not only about pizza or a cappuccino. The ingredientes of the mediterranean coast and it´s climate make italian food very tasty. I´ve also heard italian 'gelato' (italian for ice cream) is very good.
I would enjoy to eat a plate with fish, herbs and olive oil. But, of course, with a cup of the famous Tuscan wine in my hand!

Cities
Italy has many cities that are not only very beautiful, but also very interesting from an historical and archaeological point of view. I´ve heard that if you rent a car it's quite cheap to go around the country and find many little villages founded hundreds of years ago. And there´s, of course, Rome, Venice and Florence, with their iconical buildings and fountains, or, in the case of Venice, the channels and 'gondolas' that give the city it´s unique look.

History
The history and archaeology of the place deserve a special place in this post. The ancient roman imperium and the Etruscans make me want to go there and learn as much I can of them.

 
That´s all!
Regards.

Something you'd like to learn (Original version Paula)

Hello everybody.

Well, today I´ll tell you about something that I´d like to learn.

Really, exist a lot of things that I´d like to learn, but I think that it is a bit difficult, because I don’t have mucho time now. For example, I ever want to learn play piano, but I don´t have time and money for do this, another thing that I ever want to learn is dance tango and salsa, but I’m not a good dancer, and for to be a good dancer you must to dedicate a lot of time, and now I don’t have enough time, but someday I’ll do this. Well, when I studied in the school I danced in a group called Dance; they are similar to the Cheer Leaders, but Dance only works in the floor; the problem was that I couldn’t continue to dance there, because in my last year in the school I must went to the Preuniversitary and my horary didn´t coincide with the Dance’s horary; it was really sad, but anyway, it’s the life, I think.     

Well, the others things that I want to learn are speak French, Italian and Portuguese, and I´ll do this as soon as I can, because I want to go to Brazil, France and Italy someday =).

They are some things interesting for me, but what about you? What do you want to learn?

Take care =).

I like to do…

Hi!

Today I like to tell you about the things I would like to learn better. One thing that I would like to learn well would be to play the charango. I learn some chords. I think that I know the most important chords but I'd like to be able to play better. I like to can to improvise many songs, I have little hope. Nevertheless, I can play basic stuff for example I can play the song “run run se fue pal norte” by Violeta Parra.

The most important instrument I would like play better is a drums. I love play drums because help me to relax. The play drums are a very sublime experience. What I like to play the most in the drums is a rock and grunge music. I can to improvise very songs. I think I am good.

Another thing I'd like to learn is more about the geology. The geology is the most beautiful themes of all sciences. Geology is the study of the Earth, the materials of which it is made, the structure of those materials, and the processes acting upon them. It includes the study of organisms that have inhabited our planet. An important part of geology is the study of how Earth’s materials, structures, processes and organisms have changed over time. This themes help us understund the lify our planet.. It is also the kind of thing that all should we to learn.
