Last post: English language Challenges

I consider that this subject is very important in the complete professional and personal formation, because today is required to know English in a lot of jobs, and this is like a universal language.  For this reason the university like institution destined to educate us, is perfect place for learn or in some cases to improve a language that is not own.

The use of blogs is innovative, I never had use a blog and I thought attractive how we could to share differents points with respect to same topics, or in my case, to learn about sociological perspective. The blogs were like screens that showed a part of us: our history, preferences, opinions,  expectatives of future, among other things. And of course this technological resource was good for see the manage of English that my classmates and me have.

Personally, I since that I was in school I have had interest in this language. I like it, but I find some difficult to learn it, overall when I have to listen someone speaking english. I recognize that I need to improve my comprehension and writing, and I have to increase my vocabulary. For get this objective, it came to my mind the possibility to dedicate everyday at least twenty minutes to listen something said in English, can be a song, a movie, a serie. The idea is start for simples sentences and gradually to add difficulty. Also, I don´t  rule the possibility to take a intensive course in the future, if so I require. 

I try to use English outside the classes, but is complicated when the rest of people don´t to know it. The only exception is an aunt that studied traslation, when I am with her I try to speak the most that I can and I ask her about any words, pronunciation and other things. When I do it, my intention is to practice this language, use it in everyday situations.

I would like to master English!!

My future job

When you are in third grade is natural think in the future therefore you think  what major you will take most of all when the offer of major  is so varied.  Well, personally  I have in mind to take a major in Clinical Psychology, because I like so much this field; specialized in treat the emotional and behavioral disorders.

I would like to work as infant and child psychologist, trying of help to children and their parents to understand what happening them and wich are the best strategies for try with psychological difficulty for example.

For choose a job I would consider a salary to match with my performs and to match with position that I will hold. Also, I think that is important to keep in mind how is the work atmosphere because this can influence me in my task, for this reason is very preferable that  there is good organizational climated. Others aspects that would be importants for me, could be to have any benefits, would be ideal that the job is located near of my house, in such a way that I don´t delay to arrive.

With respect to my strengths I can recognize that I am able to work in a team without problems, I have many patience, and I have good disposition to play the role that assign me. For other hand,  I’m terrible for come to time, tardiness is one of my biggest flaws.

Discrimination

The discrimination has been a social problem during many time and that seems none stop. I don´t know exactly why people discriminate but I suppose that the reason for discriminate is that any people have a feel of superiority and they need show their individuality and satisfy their  feel of superiority. The chilean society is very discriminative, we can see in Chile how people discriminates to people for many aspects: religion, race and culture, social strata (therefore, discrimination for economic situation), appearance,  age, political and sexual preference, physical and psychological condition, among others. Now in our country there is a law about this topic, this is called “Anti-discrimination Law”. This was born since case of Daniel Zamudio, a homosexual young man that was brutally killed for his sexual condition.
Also, is usual see how in jobs interviews to discriminate for  appearance, because the society believe that “the look” of someone can give them more information about how is that person than content of his speech.
I know that sound strange but I never have felt discriminated, at least not that necessary for remember it. Nevertheless I have felt that the old people don´t consider entirely my opinion.
We need change education about the diversity and to teach since kids to people about tolerance and respect to all people independent of their religion, skin color, social position, etc. Many people say that “everybody are same” but is not true, "Everybody are same" compared to how valuable we are and relevance of our existence. Somehow everyone is a piece of a big puzzle.

How green are you?

Actually around the world  take relevance among people the state enviromental. The enviromentally friendly practices are more open to everyone thanks to internet  and other media
Personally I have think many times in recycle, but I never  have carried out. The principal reason  is that I live with my mum and brothers, so I believe that they  it would be difficult to get into a habit like this. Also, I live in a small flat where it is impossible to fit a lot of landfills. Even I try to incorported another way to care enviroment, for example I try to walk instead use a bus or underground.
I have not joined or supported any eco-organizations basically because I consider that all organization need time,  money and commintment. In this moment have not time and money, I just have means well, but is not sufficient. I would love to participe in activities that teach  to people about enviromentally.
For reduce my carbon footprint, I do not use sprays, when I wash I use little water and little gas and I turn off all lights that I am not using,
I think that our society are not fully educated about this issue and many people don´t interest what happen with enviroment.  Even though in Santiago there are many “Green reciclyng places”, where all people can lead their garbage properly separate and contribute to the care of planet.

My favorite class

Maybe you don´t know what career I am studying. Well, I ´m in third year of Psychology. Eventhough I have had many subjects very interesting in this years,like “Mental Disorders and Crime” or “The person of therapist”.  I have a favorite class, this is Psycopathology; class that I had past year.
Psycopathology is the discipline that analyzes the motivations and characteristics of diseases of mental character. Therefore, in class we saw mental and personality disorders, its symptoms, and  recommended treatments.
I really loved this class for several reasons, among them are: that I learnt a lot of topics related to diagnostic criteria for say that someone has a mental or personality disorder, also I learnt how to make a mental examination, an anamnesis, and  a structural interview.

Undoubtedly, there have been of great help throughout the career, because in other classes are very applied terms of Psychopathology. For other hand, related to my professional developt, I need know and manage this matter because in my case I would like to job with children and I hope help them and to achieve it, I need recognize if they have any disorder and wich would be it. Also I require know variety of therapies and treatments that can be implemented depending of case.
So, this class is very useful for everybody who want know what aspects consider in a patient, what would make or not in a interview and how to interpret all compiled information.
Is a very interesting subject!

My Butterfly Effect

Today I want talk you about one of my favourites movies: “Butterfly Effect”  this film is of science fiction and is based in “The chaos theory”  that say to “when happen something in somewhere, this event has repercussions in other place of  world”.
The film released in 2004, was directed by Eric Bress and in the cast are Ashton Kutcher  and Amy Smart like protagonists, also are William Lee Scott and Elden Henson.
The story deals with a man called Evan Treborn( Ashton Kutcher) that suffer losses in the notion of time since he was a child, for this reason is treated by psychiatrist that recomend him write a diary of life, permiting that he recover his memories. The most sorprising is that he can replay situations that he lived. So, he has the possibility to does changes in the past that repercute in the future (his present life). He wait that this changes done in the past has good consecuences, because he has had a life full of unpleasants events.  But in all cases  seem worst the consecuences. Finally, he recognizes that the only way to has good life is not meet never to his best friend Kayleigh Miller (Amy Smart) that he has loved always.
I like this movie because its plot is very interesting and the production is fantastic, the story is so well done. I believe that I have watched “Butterfly Effect” as five or six times and I never get  bored.
I recomend this film to everybody!!!
