The best holiday


Thinking and thinking in my best holiday, I don’t get fine a good travel in which I had felt very good. In travels that I make in the past I met different places like Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Mexico, Arica, Chiloe, Patagonia, but for many reason or any reason a didn’t feel very well making this travels.

I discover that my best holiday ever was being in Santiago. Was being when I fined a good place to be. The history begins when I put Anarchy in Google, I find a web page and sent a message in which asking any information. They answer my inviting me to Know the organization.

I went to the place and I met very good persons. Was the first time that I don´t feel different to others. I think that was because we were a community, we share principles.

I went to the place alone and I stated there for 2 years, I did few things, that is one of the reason for what I leaf the place. We makes forums, we went march, we make parties, and above all we shared eating or talking or making assembly.

I enjoyed it so much because I was feeling belonging, was respect between us. I liked very mucho be with people who shared political horizon and because we had a common protect.

Punk and Folklore


The name of one of my favorite band is “The devotchkas”, this is a band formed by women. The band born in Long Island, New York, in 1996. The band was be up to 2001. The name of her members are:JonGabrielleJessica
Mande
Alaine
JJ
Stephanie

The type of music that they played was Punk core records, my favorite son is “live fast die young”, this is my favorite sing because the power and energy that transmits.

Other music that I like is the folklore. I love Victor Jara (he help to my father in the military dictatorship.Victor Jara was a Chilean singer. He maked his songs, he blended different type of Latin-American music.He was a important persons not only for the music. He was a singer who fought for human rights.

One example of this is that he was singing in “voluntary works”( this was a work execute for students in the Popular Unit (UP) government). He died in the military dictatorship when he was detained for have left ideas.I like Victor Jara because he created very good songs, her songs are very original and have many sense, I think he was a genius.

I have lots of favorite songs that Victor Jara maked. I like very much is  “Deja la vida volar” is a very romantic song, but this is imperceptible. Other song that I like very much is “El derecho de vivir en paz” I don´t know why I like this song, I think because the song is very moving and be about  problem in the society and the hope that can have the people.

The language


Today I will write about my reflect of language and  the speech of Pagel in which he speak about the lenguage. Pagel is scientists who reflect about the origin of the language, about the function of the languages and he has a hypothesis about the future of the language.

Pagel suggest that language is responsible of the evolved of humanity because the language allow transmit the knowledge, other think that he thinks is that the language is ability characteristic on human. I am agreeing whit the first suggest, but whit the second suggest I am not agree because is very difficult to check and prove that the languages exist only in the humans.

The speech of Pagel makes me reflect about how is possible that something likes language that is so rational and which operate thrown logical rules can express subjective emotions. I think that is possible because the emotions like the language are social things. I mean I think emotions and language are more developed when community bond exist. 

Pagel foresees as the future (in this global society in which we live) will be unnecesary have one language that permit get on, that permit connect whit different persons of different countries. About that, I think that is a fact, but the problem whith that, and whith the globalization in general is the loss of the original culture, and the absorption of little nation for biggest and powerful nations.

I feel that the Spanish is a language that is expressive of Latin culture, is a language that permit the expression of emotions, that is reflect in the Latin-American music and literature.  I like the culture of Latin-American I am proud of our culture but I am not proud of the Chilean culture because Chile search be like USA and European countries.

Strike in FACSO

In FACSO are the same problems than the almost faculties of University of Chile.
The university has a lot of problem:


 First, the problem with the administration and bureaucracy in FACSO, this problem we can find in almost faculties of “The University of Chile”. One of the reasons of this problem is that the university have a decentralized administration, this is good thing but require coordination between faculties. The fact is there isn´t coordination between faculties in the University of Chile.

Second, the absence of resource, one example of this you can find in something very simple like the lack of the toilet tissue or things biggest like shortage of space for study or eat or make class. This problem have relation whit the system of finance that have the university, this system consist in make compete to the faculties for recourses and money. Those forms of finance is promote since Chilean economic system.

And third: the problem whit the “public sense” of university. Supposedly “The University of Chile” should have a public sense. The shortage of “public sense” in the university has many characteristics or points like:


·         Who enter the university (in the university only students can use the services).·         How many cost of study in the university (is very expensive study a carrier).
·    The way of is impart the education (hierarchy or horizontally, for be a machine o for be a person who thinking).
·         What type of professional which is create in the university (people that want gain money or people that want be a contribution for the society).


Although of all I don´t participate in the strike, because I am disillusioned. I think, for the experience, the benefits of the strike are very little and the drawbacks of the strikes are stress in the students, many annoyance and lost time for any concrete results.

Is important think in other means can contribute to obtain what the students are after, other mean could be work every day not only in strike and work in diffusion for create a politic and social conscience in the people.
