A piece of News

Pope John Paul II Statue couldn´t be built

The National Monument Council was not allowing built the John Paul II Statue because this statue could break the town-planning harmony.
This statue was donated for San Sebastian University, and his height is 12 meter. The statue could locate in the small square in Bellavista neighborhood and this statue could be in front of Law Faculty of Universidad de Chile.
The 2.ooo neighboring of Bellavista neighborhood was very upset, because this statue don’t respect whit neighborhood history and the big height break the landscape. But now the National Monument Council says no to the big statue.
The Statue architect says this monument could locate in a new place and the Cerro Navia mayor says that in his town could locate this statue.
I like hear read or watch on T.V is the cancer cure was founded, but the cure was natural remedy such as herb, because whit I think the traditional medical treatment such as chemotherapy is more harmful than the cancer.

Improving your Faculty Facilities

Now in this Faculty the facilities situation is the computer room, cafeteria, the library, the cold day we have central heating and the classroom have datashow.
But these facilities could be strengthening because the computers are insufficient in quantity for the students, the cafeteria is small, and the library doesn´t have many books.
The improvements that need are more computers, best service in cafeteria (and reasonable price) and best equipment in library, develop relax places, best toilets and best attention in secretary´s office.
The first steps to dealing this situation is convert the library in a real library; we would take a silent reading room, best service, more books, work room, armchairs and computers. This library would be like Philosophy library.
The solutions for these problems are better quality in food, drop the price, better variety in snacks and extend the cafeteria because is too small. In the relax places would take green areas seats, smoke area, comfortable armchairs and lunch area. The toilet would be take toilet paper and be clean.
The real benefits of these improvements are offering a pleasant environment to study. Whit a better library the students would be most motivate to study.

Does anybody like their school photographs?


Why these horrible traditions persist in the school?

I hate the school photographs because this photographs show the change from child to young.
I remember my first school photograph, this pictures was horrible. I had ugly hair cut in this photograph, but my mother put it in the living room. I had embarrassment.

For the students the school photographs are a tragedy and all students hates it. This pictures show us in our ugly years, for example when we had braces, shins, fat, ridiculous hair cut. Why the school years are the worst time in the life? And why they insist remember these years in a photograph?

The worst about this school photographs is our parents thinks that photographs is a nice living room decorates. And my mother shows the picture to all my friends. But the best about this school photographs is we can see the ugly years of our friend and we can laugh a lot.

Any way If anybody likes their school photographs I propose use the Photoshop and the problem is solved.

Election Day

I`m registered to vote since 2005. I went registered to vote whit my friends Macarena and Grisel. That day we felt adults. I think this process is very important in civilian life.
I think the electoral campaigns is massive spend of money, energy and insult between presidential candidates. In this electoral campaign the presidential candidates are worry to denigrate the competition and they aren´t worry to propose new ideas for the social and economic development.

A good presidential candidate must have these qualities: he/she should have social conscience; he/ she must work for economic equality and he/she must respect the democratic state.
I don´t ever consider to become a politician, but now whit this question I should think consider to become a politician. If I had to work in a ministry of the government I choose the Culture Ministry. I choose this ministry because I`d like that all people enjoy the art. I think the art is very restricted and the only people that enjoy it are the upper class.

I think the 5 problems in my country require an immediate solution are: social exclusion, the quality educational, the attention in public health, unemployed, delinquency

Criminal Laws

I Think capital punishment is not a good solution to reduce criminality, because the solution to reduce criminality is to make harder sentences for sexual crime, trafficking and murder. For this way the criminal doesn’t commit a crime again.

I think there aren’t pros in capital punishment, because the solution is not the dead. The cons in capital punishment is the easy way to reduce criminality like that we are exterminate animal plague.

The measure that government should take to reduce criminality rates in Santiago is attack the heart of the matter: “revolving doors”. Without the revolving doors, the criminality could be to reduce.

In my opinion the origin of the increasing criminality rates in Chile is for social exclusion. The social risk is most vulnerable for drugs problem, desert school problem and material restriction. The only and easy solution for their problems is the delinquency. The delinquency is social problem and the solution is to make program for attack the poverty.
I never been a victim of a crime, but my father was a fraud victim. In 1995 he and a “friend” make a new business, they made a lot of money thanks to the business, but the friend robbed all his money. The fraud was very hard for my father and never forgive a his friend.

If you visit Santiago de Chile, you will not get bored because Santiago is too diverse. If you like the snow, you could visit the ski center “Valle Nevado”, “El Colorado” and “Portillo”. In this ski center you can practice ski and snowboard and also you can enjoy the spectacular view of the beautiful The Andes mountain.

The museums are locate in Forestal neighborhood, in this zone you could stroll in Lastarria Street and you could found original clothes and objects. In the night you should visit the “Patio Bellavista”, this place is very enjoyable for take a good drink, but in this place you will not dance. If you like dance, you should go to “Constitucion Bar” or “Amanda Club”.

My education


Mi school was called “The Greenland School”. This school was mixed and their orientation was secular. In this school was very important sport so they offered classes in soccer, cheerleader, basketball, rugby, tennis, swimming and volleyball. But also in this school were important subjects of mathematics, language, history, English, physics, chemistry and biology. Each of these subjects was important and necessary for our training, but the music and arts subjects were not very important. In addition to these subjects and sports, the college offered workshops like chess, laboratory, confectionary, literature, theatre, choir and dance. These workshops were held at approximately the school day and were very interesting and entertaining. The relationship with teachers was very good; they were not authoritarian in their classrooms. Additionally, each teacher developed a course and could not perform other than their specialty. I have very fond memories of the language teacher Miss Karen, biology professor Carlos Zapata and history teacher Miss Roxana. They were very good teachers and was much beloved by students. The technology in my school was good. There datashow, multimedia room with TV, well equipped science laboratory and with many materials, computer room. And all these rooms were available to students every time we needed it. I think the level of education I received was good but could have been better, because the school had teachers and resources to deliver a better education. I also think this school was very new we were the fourth generation of graduates. But the school I give very good tools, as well as the values of respect and solidarity.
I would tell the authorities began to worry about education and not to remain only in words. As a first idea is to regulate the training of teachers, because now anyone can be a teacher, another idea is to run programs in the poorest schools to motivate students, as various educational workshops.

I believe that each person is responsible for his education, but also important is the quality of education they receive. For example if a child is motivated to study, but the education they receive is poor, he is no longer responsible. I believe that education is built, some students surrender, another teacher and another family.First time I hear this saying, but I think it means that without students there are no teachers, or when a student is good is because his teacher is too. But I believe that this is bizarre.
