My experience learning English at the university.

I iniciated the english course this year. I started with the level 3, in this level there were too many people of different years, and I went only with two classmates of my year. The course costed me in a beginning, because there were people that to spoke very well, for that reason the teacher sometimes speaking only with the more advanced. But with the time, I went released me and participating more. Apart of that, the evaluation form of the course 3 didn't have quiz, only the teacher did an oral test that consisted in to prepare a disertation about one subject of our career.
After that, I passed to the actual level 4, where I am with more classmates. In this level, in general I feel that  there is a similar level of knowledge, although always there are people too much advanced. The actual course has been too much demanding, because we have had regulary quiz, and in the class we should to speak always, whereas in the previous course only who wanted spoke.
In short, comparing both experiences, in my opinion to learn english at the university, in the first place has been a good experience, because permit us is practicing the idiom the constant form. However, in spite of the method of the class that consisted in exercise and theory, I feel that I don’t have learned too much new content, but with the practice, and the blogs writting I have learned to speak and to write better. And in the second place, I believe that a point that is not very exploted in the class is to listen english, but this is based in my personal experience, because my mean weakness is to understand the english idiom.
In conclusion, to learn english at the university has been a good experience, and as the english class are all the week, it permit to learn or to practice constantly, in particular for the writting. At this point I think that the best of the english class is the blog system, because not only it permit to know new vocabulary, but also it is useful for to write better respect to give expression to the ideas.
Finally I think “oh this is the last course!”, I don’t know if I pass, I am scary, so if I fail, I think that I will should to see more english movies.

Challenges in your discipline.

The Anthropology is a young  social discipline, for this reason, it is in constant challenge with the different teorical schools. But in the first place, the main challenge that the anthropology has been had in the XX century, has been to admit and to restore the fact that is a discipline daughter of the european colonialism. The anthropology was born for a need of the european states of to know the other cultures that were dominanting. For that reason, after of the evolucionist school of the XIX century, in the recent century, the anthropolgist have been trying to rescue the identity of that cultures subordinated and forgot.
It seems to me that, the looking that found to rescue this cultures, is a first step for to overcome the gray birth.

But, the second challenge is to gather the first change, and then to have a looking not ethnocentrist, to be more precise, is necesary a that the anthropoly study the other cultures that don't be of the first world thinking their like equals cultures, equal people, and not like lower cultures. For this aspect, I think that is too important to value to the other in all instance in our lifes, not only respect to other people or communities. At this point,the respet and the tolerance are the most important if we wish to be good anthropologist, I mean, that the people different to our own culture don't is a "study object", but a "study individual"; in the anthropology the researcher and the researchered are two individual that build the knowledge.

Finally, I think that today our challenge is that we should worry for the actuals conflicts in the pay, for example, for the mapuche conflict or political and social problems, because before of to look to outside, we should to look inside oneself, and is not enough with dress up like "artesa" or "hippie" believe us "pachamamicos", if wee don't have anything for the problems.

Advantages and disadvantages of being wealthy.

To think in to be wealthy I think in the Patula count, in Paris Hilton, Juanito Yarur, and in the old song that says: Had once a great king that had a lot of lands, a castle and also a love...

In my opinion, in the first place the main advantage of to be wealthy is that you can to get all all all that you want. You can to buy many things, and to travel for too many places. Besides, if you are young you can to pay a very good education and to pay some doctor for to be slim and beautiful person.
In adittion, if you are a charitable person you can to help to other people or something ONG. For example, the Make a Wish ONG.
What is more, one advantage of to have a lot of money, is that you can to have eccentric pleasures because all that you do, will be justified for the money.
Now, on the other hand, to be wealthy to have some drawbacks. One disadvantage of to be wealthy is that some people meeting with you only for interest. So is difficult to find good friends. An additional disadvantage, and I completely agree that is the most important drawback is the fact that if you always have lived in a cradle gold, perhaps you don't look the other world and people to your around and maybe you would a despot person. I know that I sound like a resentful person. Nevertheless, I don't agree with the strong division of the social class. Appears to me that all the people should learn about the others.
(Now I sing in my mind "Imagine" by Beatles)
To sum up, there are too many advantages and disadvantages of being wealthy, the important is to be happy and if you can to be happy to the rest, because if the song can to finalize with: "Today the king don't can ne happy because don't have neither castle or love".
Oh rays! I am a pessimist person!

The most embarassing moment...The most?

When I try to remember embarassing moments I don't remember anything, but if I to think more, uff! I put me blush! So, I will count one of much moments. 

Well, a short time, in a summer ago, I was go to a gym. I prefered to go in the morning, becouse there were less people in the machines, and less magnific womans, so I felt more relax. A day, I went to the gym like all the morning, and was only the teacher. The teacher was a man very handsome, he didn't was a typical "Jhony Bravo", but he was a pleasant and good looking person. Ok, he like me but only as an idilic love.

So, when I was in the gym, I started to exercise in a static bicycle. There was music, and I was very concentratred in my routine. Meanwhile, like I was hot for the exercise, I dried my face with a towel that I put on the irons of the bicycle.

After, the teacher was to see how I was, becouse I was the only person there. And the teacher said me: Dany, seems that yo have something in you face. And then, he said me: come here, to the bathroom.

I thought that I had some bite, but when he indicated me the mirror, I said: OH! I had all my face black, because the towel on the irons was satined with the grease of the machine, then when I dried I got oil stains on my face. I looked a crazy! I felt too much embarrassment! I was blush, mmm black and blush.

I wished swallow me earth. But despite everything, the only good thing is that there were anybody more, but my pretty teacher what owe to have thought!

It was a bad moment, but with the time is funny to remember this occasions.

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition.

The great empires have produced great and beautiful art, but the truth behind this art is that these empires have histories about cruel regimens and domination on others areas.
For the other side of the mirror, the beautiful architecture, sculptures and paintings hide histories about wars and blood. For example, some ancien spanish paintings in the Britain Museum are fascinanting, but behind of the canvas is the death of too many people that died with the American conquest. In spite, before, in the middle age, the spanish art was outshine for the islamic art, but with the Spain discovered America, the Empire of Spain turned in the center of art. A painter that represents this period was Velasquez, whose painting most famous until our days is The Meninas, but a painting that reflected this time is Christ in the house of Martha and Mary in the National Gallery.

For the other hand, others paintings show the intensity of the catolic religious in the Inquisicion period. These paintings have too much realism, but is a cruel realism because it shows scenes about the crucifixion, pales faces, injured painted very red and body too thin. An exemple about this style is the Zurbaran painter, whose paintings are a mix of mimesis with the reality, so he created strangest effects that had to feel the catolic mysticism.

This art shows not only the american domination, but also it represents the domination in the european cultures. So, for this reason, I think that the art is very important for to study in the antrophology because, in the time where in Europ there were too much illiterate people, and in America there wasn't writting, the art, and above all the visual art was a main form for to christianize and to dominate. In conclusion, in the Spanish Empire the catolic art, down the Cross figure, it hides a hegemony history where the Church and the Monarchy together, were the domination voice on the vanquishes.

Improving my faculty facilities.

The current situation in Faculty's Social Sciences is about the planning about futures congress or seminares, and for me career the activity most important is the next ENEA or National meeting antrophology students. It will be in november. Those activities actually are the most well-know, but always there are different activities like talks, season movies and too many career meeting. Is enough with to look the walls and always are posters with some event here or in other place.
On the other hand, in the faculty there are always some problems about the career's subjects and there are constantly talks between students and teacher.
So, regarding the building, this faculty is good, but the bathoroom are too bad, and the dining casino is very small. But in general the rooms are fine.
In this respect,firstly I think that the publicity about academic activities is fine, but sometimes there are most advertising about out activities than into the faculty. In the same way, I think that there isn't exist worry enough in respect the subjects, because the subjects are frecuently more theoretical than practical, and when the people start to work, sometimes is difficult because they know only theories.
For improving all this situacion, I would have some changes in the mesh's career puting special atention in the mainly theoretical schools, I mean that for exemple, I would put subjects related with Chile or Americ, because the majority of the authors that we have to read are europeans or from United States.
Moreover, I would change the building, but for all these changes, in my opinion, would have to exist a central plataform of money with the way of to destiny the economical recourses for the all faculties in a equitable way.
Therefore, with this changes, I think that would have more recourses for to fix the building, to buy more books for the bookcase, and for to hire goods teachers.
All in all are immediate changes, but like a further recommendation, I think also that the open system for this faculty and in general for the university should be with other system that give opportunities to students of public school that in the PSU had bad marks. I talk about the Propedeutico system, a programm that in the Santiago University started few years ago, and it has been good results.
Well, finally, I think that the solution's key for all the problems is that the education would be free, yeah, the education is not a comercial product, I know that is the typical sentence that the people say, but is true, because isn't a mystery that the country's develpment is in the education and not in too many cell phone or computers.

My favorite movie.

My favorite movie is Hierro 3. It is a corean movie produced by Kim Ki Duk. This movie is something "freak" because in all the development the major figures doesn't talk anything. Well, this movie is about a young man that leaves notices hanging in the main doors, and to the other day, if the notice was in the door yet, it meaned that anything was in the home, so the young started to the strange house and lived for some days like if he would be of the family. After, the young left the houses in perfect order and he went away.
Once, the young came in a house where had a young and beautiful woman, and both to got on well. But the woman' husband when arrived to the house, hited to the man. However, the man and the woman escaped to the home.
Therefore, both persons were living in a unknown home, until when the owner family arrived, for the scare and surprise for to find to strange people, the owner sends to the prision to the young. Here is the part of movie most beautiful for me, because the man started to feel his body, and he achieves, mm I don't know like to say that, but he achieves fuses with the space, something like that if his body become like a phantom so light that the other persons don't can look him.
In this way, the man escapes to the prision and returns to the woman' home. The woman and the man can are together, and the husband don't gives count of that.
I have talked about the forms of the movie, but all the story is full of expressions, the gestures shows that the love cans be communicated by other things apart of the words or the contact. Here the words are not neccesary for to demonstrate the feelings. On the other hand, the photograph is very cool, and the music too. Therefore I like very much the Kim Ki Duk's movies, because they are other form of to see the world, the oriental look is diferent becouse show us other senses, and in Occident we are adapted to the eye's hegemony and the word's power.
In conclusion, I like this movie because the dialogs is the corporal language, so ¡There aren't subtitles! and for to finalize, I like to count the last scene. In this scene the woman and the man go up on a weigth, and its marks 0 kilos. When I saw that, I thougth "ohhh", and after the scene closes saying something like "It's hard to tell that the world we live in is either a reality or a dream".
I am not a romantic person, but this movie is marvelous...
