200 years!

My generation has the privilege of living in a globalized and technological world that allow to get a lot of information about the past, what helps to rescue a part of the Chile’ history, I think. We know that our country has changed in several areas that involve politic, social, health, individual and even physical changes. Our common legacy has forced that we are today.

We have been witnesses more of a society change than a millennium or centenary change only.
In politic our contemporary are lived a transition from to be in a dictatorship to a democratic government. This landmark has brought with him political quarrel between the people. But it’s part to live in society, and in democracy it has to have variability and freedom to opine, and they are held up by laws and an informed people.
The above idea was importantly accompanied and influenced the concept of equity, which is reflected in an increasing number of people that accept women working, single parents, homosexual relations, different cultures, domestic violence, among others. All that is possible thanks a knowledge age with new technological development.

Learning english in my faculty

The English is a very important language in this days, is the international language through which we can communicate anywhere in the world.
If you want travel, or to study in other country, even in our daily lives, in the University often we must search quality information for different subjects, in this situation you must search a paper published in a major scientific journal, but this information is published in English. For these and other reasons is very important understand this language.
I my case, I can understand a text in English, but is difficult to me understand a conversation or talk with fluent this language.
I always have though that the best way to learn anything is "learning by doing", for this I think that the instance in which I have learned more is doing the blogs. I think that it is very good to write occasionally some lines about different topics because it is similar to real situation, it is more real, and it helps us to simplify one idea, learn more vocabulary, and this way we reach a better perform in the English language.
Also, it is very funny write when the topic we like. But, in my personal experience, sometimes I had a hard time deciding what write to each blog, my imagination was sleeping in those moments. It's terrible waste of time thinking about how to start or how continue, those were my critical moment in English, Lack of Imagination... but, in general it is very good in the development of students.
Also I think that is very important the feedback , that the teacher review our text, because is very difficult improve mistake such as grammatical or spelling mistake without this, which is very important to we don't speak like Tarzan and that we can establish a fluid conversation.
The teacher is always willing to answer questions, and this like to me, because is important to feel the supported by another person who can help improve you, in fact, is very important in our learning.

Something about stress

First, We must understand that the strees is a natural reaction of the body where it operates a series of defense mechanisms to cope with a threatening situation. This is necessary.
This defense mechanisms can conclude, by certain factors, causing serious health problems. When this natural response is given in excess is an overload of stress affects the body and causes the appearance of diseases and pathological abnormalities that prevent normal development and functioning of the human body.

The general symptoms of stress include:

1 .- Prevalence of sympathetic nervous system. It produces such peripheral vasoconstriction, tachycardia, etc.
2 .- release of adrenaline and noradrenaline, cortisol and enkephalin.
3.-Increase in blood glucose, clotting factors, free amino acids and immune factors.
This occurs in order to increase chances of survival in a near-term threat.

A constant stress can cause problems to the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and the immune system.

How to deal stress:

One way to combat stress is through breathing exercises so that we can voluntarily control breathing, and treating it as calming a stressful situation.

On the other hand it is also important to organize the activities we perform, so we do not have extra concerns. If you have problems is important to talk to someone you trust to not carry them alone. It is also essential to perform regular exercise to improve basic physical condition and also release tension.

From a psychological point of view arises mainly in the control of emotional distress, as well as harnessing the resources of our body. Besides all the above named, electrical stimulation, acupuncture or audio analgesia are alternative techniques for dealing stress and its consequences.

Mario Vargas Llosa wins the Nobel Prize

The writer coming from Arequipa, Perú, won the Nobel prize for literature this 2010. In his own words, he feels very surprised for the prize, in fact, he say that thought that when he was called are a joke.
Now, I'm going to tell a bit about this important man of letters. The first work in the literary field is for a Lima newspaper called "La Crónica" when he has only 15 years, here show his talent for the letters. He write many obras, like "Conversación in la Catedral", where Vargas Llosa, related the underworld Peruvian in this time, detailing a critic vision about his own country specially in the dictatorship topic.

Levonorgestrel (LNG)

Levonorgestrel (LNG) or popularly known like " day after pill" is a topic very controlversial today, because is related with concept of life begins and differents view points like the Catolic Church and scientists.
Dr. Valenzuela is a important researcher of our university and tell us about this emergency method to avoid pregnancy. He say us, that LNG, anticontraceptive is better than contraceptive effects, because in the last, avoid the implant in the uterus and is dangerous because can to cause ectopic pregnancy.
Also, not only the problem of LNG are the possible complications, if not the ethical problems that causes it, because The Church believe that this method is abortive, in other words, is murder against a inocent baby, but the problem is: is it a life? when begin the life? The Dr. Valenzuela tell us that the scientists consider that life begins when living organism can self-sustaining therefore, although the LNG can produce problems in the implant of fetus, this is not a murder because is effective some days post coitus and is not a living.
Nevertheless, the discussion related about this topic I believe that each women is landlady of her body and can decide about what method want to choose for avoid the pregnancy.

SICKO

I believe that this films was very interesting, because show the other realities in people's health and as other countries have good policies to care the persons. Is important to emphasize that it's no only resource problem, is a resource management problem, because in the film, USA that have a big financial power but the public health is very bad, is more a business that a governmental concern.
In England and France the reality is completly different I'm going to speak at length about the french sistem, because I saw it reality in the film.
In France, the health is free, because the taxes that paid the French people cover the cost of it. Also, the health not only cover when you have and accident and need medical attention, too when you have your first baby and the government sent you a baby-sitter and many profits more!
Is a bit cruel to make a comparison with Chile, because the sistem here even cover when you need medical attention and it's something that all knows. If you don't have money, you can to get acces to GES (formerly called AUGE) and get a free profit for your diseases, but this sistem have a lot of requirement.
In general in the hospital the people waits a lots of time to be addressed and in some cases, died in the expected. As well, the treatments most used are the more cheap not the more effective.
In other words, It's need more time for Chile to be like France.

My favourite movie

When I think about ¿which is my favourite movie? is so complex for me, because depends of time of watch it and I love many movies, then is so difficult to choose. In this moment, when I think one, the movie that comes to my mind is "Todo sobre mi madre" is a Spanish production of famous director Pedro Almodóvar and has all I need in a movie. First, the story is very beautiful with love, deception, intrigue and drama. The characters are well defined and their ways are cross. It makes that story very interesant. For another hand, the ways that Almodóvar shows the events is exciting, for example in a part of the movie, the protagonist's son died and she cried near to him, this scene is focused from view of son and the director transmitted mother's pain perfectly. Another factor is the originality of story, I don't want to say everything, because the idea is watch it, but I can advance that the plot is very interesting. Also, the movie shows about complex subjects like drugs, paternity, sida and gets a movie that takes all elements and achieved a good film like only Almodóvar knows to make it.
In brief watch it!
