Post graduate studies ok no. p6



Chinchilla
If I went back to study something (and if it is in a university) it would be something completely different: I would like to learn about nature. Learn about the native flora and fauna of our country so diverse. I would love to familiarize myself with the names of the different plants, birds, trees, flowers and animals that live and feel around me, with which I get on a daily basis when I walk to the subway, which exist on campus.

Once a lady told me: who doesn't know, don't see. And damn it, she was right.



Chiricoca


How much wealth surrounds us and we don't know it. Did ever your school took you to know one of the many hills that surround Santiago? Do you know the name of the bird that you always hear singing? Or how long does it take to grow a tomato?

We live in a country prone to environmental disasters, and we know how to survive in nature? If school is supposed to prepare us for life, why do not we learn any of that in schools or even in the university?

Our ignorance of our surroundings makes us look, but we do not see. Maybe, if we knew which tree grows outside our house, how much it lives, its cycles, whether it bears fruit or not, we would have more respect and we would value more the place where we live. We would fight harder to take care of our few green spaces (especially in the sectors that do not belong to the eastern area of ​​Santiago) and we would have more respect for what grows around us.

I know that this is difficult to achieve in a society where everything comes ready to consume, in which it has been absurd to sell everything in multiple plastic bags, that we have no idea what we are feeding, but there are days in the I wake up and I have faith that this situation can improve.

How? Through education of course, but beyond the typical poor recycling attempt, but creating gardens, involving children in research on climate change, educating about our hundreds of rivers, forests, volcanoes, flora, fauna! Ahhh, there is so much to learn! Well, it does not make sense to devote a couple of days to the environment if we see daily how companies destroy nature. The change has to be now!

Hammocks 👌 p7

Today I am going to write about a subject that seems to me very important, transcendental and fundamental in the life of every human being who loves good sleep: hammocks 🙌.



If you've ever been lucky enough to run into one, you'll probably know what I'm talking about. I tried my first hammock a couple of years ago, in the south, near Temuco, a family made an artisanal way, and I was lucky to sleep a few naps in it, under the shade of big trees and the shelter of the gentle breeze in the afternoon.

However, my true experience with the hammocks was this summer. I was fortunate to travel for two months in a beautiful land, where sleeping in a hammock was more than a relaxing activity and dedicated to rest, as the hammocks were used to sleep. This beautiful land called Colombia, has diverse communities and towns in which the use of hammocks goes back to its indigenous peoples, who saw in the hammock a representation of the maternal womb. The position that the body adopts when resting in a hammock is similar to that of the fetus inside the uterus, hence for some communities it was a symbolic act to weave your own hammock.

Its use is very popular, especially in the regions closest to the Caribbean, because the proximity to the jungle was counterproductive with the use of a bed made on the floor, by the imminent danger to the attack of snakes and bugs. In addition, the hammock can be large enough to cover the entire person and create a kind of cocoon, which protects against flies and mosquitoes, carriers of various diseases. So when you go to visit a friend, they offer you some hammocks hooks, so you can hang up there your own hammock (the lightest and technological weigh less than 1 kilo), some lodgment has hammocks instead beds, and if you're a traveler (bag traveler) you can hang it up between two trees and you don't have to pay for lodgment jiji.


The first time I laid on one I had walked for several hours, and I woke up the next day with more than recovered sleep! So at the end of my trip I bought one and I brought it to Chile, and I installed it in my house, bringing with it all those good memories :) I love it.

my future job p5


I imagine my laboral future not with a lot of certance, the truth is that I can't imagine something that I would like to do my whole life or during a long time. It's a little bit difficult to me. Maybe if I think it deeply, I can tell you some things that I imagine about what I would like to do with my "laboral" life. 

I would like to have a job that allows me to travel around the whole world, so I can be at any part of the world if I want it. Working online or maybe in some organization that requires my continuous movement from one place to another, would be a dream come true. I'm from a family of people that love to be traveling, in fact, one of my two sister it's currently living in Dortmund, Germany and she used to work in a hospital in Chile. Now she is a german and english student, and a year ago that idea would be the maddest thing we've ever imagine that would happen to one of us. 

About the salary, I guess I would be happy with enough to manteinence myself, be independent and get what I ever get to need. 

I'm not thinkg in taking a major now, because I had a lot of time studing in university and all I want is to get out soon, travel some time and maybe then, I'll make one. But anything could happen, never knows!

❤ Environmental psychology ❤ p4

I'm not very excited to talk about my career. Not because I don't like it, but because I think the subject is too broad and difficult to pose in English, because there are many concepts that I don't know how they are written since the translation is not literal. So I'll talk about what recently called my attention, which is environmental psychology.

This area is relatively new in psychology, and has recently gained momentum due to climate change and the need to understand the mutual interaction between individuals and the environment, how they understand it and how they relate to it. Therefore, it is an area that takes knowledge of social psychology, as well as community psychology and other areas of interest, outside the field of psychology. And firmly supports an interdisciplinary approach to the problem, understanding that most of problems that afflict us as a society must be approached from all knowledge, and not only from some.

Although in its beginnings it was oriented to study the environmental groups, today its investigations cover diverse thematic ones. For example, given the overwhelming scientific evidence on climate change, how is it possible that in the United States someone who denies their existence is openly elected as president?, Why do people continue to deny the existence of this phenomenon (climatic change)?, Why individuals do not change their lifestyles to mitigate their effects? What motivates some people to care about the environment?, etc.

Favourites movies p3

If I had to say what are my favorite types of movies, I would say that it is very difficult to answer. Because I love a lot of types of movies and maybe I've seen so many of them that I can't even remember one of them I like most. But, if there's a life or death question, I definitely would said that gangster's and science fiction's movies.

In first place, the gangster's movies have always been a fascination for me. Movies like The Goodfellas, The Godfather trilogy, Scarface, The Departed, Pulp Fiction, among others. In that films you can see the fight between two forces always in conflict, also some beautiful cars, fancy clothes, lots of guns, deaths, fights, pretty girls, etc. So, If you want to see one of them, you'll enjoy some good and fun stories of people living crazy lifes in the big cities, between guns and lots of money (not all that stories are related to that, but sometimes it's funny to me imagine myself how my life would be if I were born in a gangster family).

The science fiction is a gender that I also like so much. The different views about the future, the technology, and dystopias are my guilty pleasure. Guilty because in that movies you won't see a very positive thinking about the future, and they usually show that part of the society that we don't want to see. However, the directors find always a interesting way of meditate and debate about what we want about our life. You can see series like Black Mirror, or movies like Ghost in Shell, Akira, A Clockwork Orange, V for Vendetta, Metrópolis, etc.

To finish, the movies of Dogme 95 Manifesto are also my favorites, because it was a filmmaking movement that choose their own rules to make those films, based on the traditional values of story, acting, and theme. Also excluding the use of elaborate special effects or technology.
