Opinions


·                     What is your opinion about buying instead of adopting pets?

I firmly believe that animals shouldn’t be allowed as a way of business, we shouldn’t be selling others live. If we let this market continue we support a lot of violent practices that are include, like the forced matings and the conditions that they keep the animals. Why we should sell animals If we shouldn’t sell humans.
·                     What is your opinion about cloning?

I’d say that fast fashion is one of the mayor problems we face today on the clothing industry, it affects by the contamination it produce, not only in the making, for example with the manufacture of fabric or with the residue of the industrial process, but also it perpetuate a slavery like work, where third world people gets pay less than 1% of what people pay for the piece. By supporting this industry we just help it to subsist. We need to find other ways to deal with it, buying second hand clothes is always a good way to do so, we give a use to something that could be in the garbage and boy from people instead of a corporation.

·                     What is your opinion about recycling?

Following the same idea as before, I feel like recycling should be one of the main concerns right now, we as society create immense amounts of wastes and we keep depending in industries that support to that contamination. Almost all of the objects that we use now on days are disposable, so they have a life spam radically short, so it become garbage in a matter of seconds. We need to change our habits and start to give the ambient a break.    
·                     What is your opinion about Immigration?

I strongly stand on the non-existence of frontiers, even tho we should have a register of the people who enters every country we shouldn’t make so difficult their entry. We need to be more conscience about the reasons of their migration, especially when we know the crisis that some countries are in, it is necessary to understand the opportunity that chilean economy means to them, which become kind of hard when we usually live the down side of it. I feel it all comes down to empathy and sympathy.
 
·                     What is your opinion about the legalization of abortion in the 3 cases?

Even tho some people keep missing the point I will always stand on the right of te women (or the person whom carries the fetus) on decided whether she wants to be a mother or if she doesn't. It doesn't matter to me the reasons behind her, women need the liberty tho choose, because we can't be forcing people to become parents if they don't feel ready or if they don't feel like it. The fact that we keep forcing people to be parents has left a lot of damages, like abandoned or threatened kids. 




Postgraduate Studies


I still have not thought about my post-graduate studies. Although, I know that I want to keep learning, even if it is outside the academy or inside itself.
I would like to explore my abilities, and for that to happen I need to open up to other ways of learning, like from different places and people. Thus, I have been always interested in the option to live in another country, at least for a year so I can get the opportunity to learn whatever that place has for me because the culture itself it’s something that I would like to acquire and learn.
Some of my interests include tattooing, consequently, it is something that I would like to give an opportunity to work on more and explore new techniques, as the chance to learn new styles, as well as find my own. And for that to happen I want to go to other places, meet new people that can influence me and the more important thing is to have the time to do it. 
Even tho I have a lot of different interest, my studies intrigue me, I may like to continue them but I am not quite sure if doing it now it’s the best option. I believe that the way the educational system works here in Chile, and how the whole system it’s articulated has become it less and less appealing to me. I have been studying in the same educational system since I was 4, so find other ways to learn feels liberating.

My future jobs


Usually I don't plan too much a head. I can’t avoid to get the feeling that it aint worth it, because even if you make all this plans, things still can find another way to happen, you never know what would be in the future.
Or maybe it feels this way to me because I avoid plans.

Either way, I haven't thought much about my future jobs, even tho, I know that I will not need to necessary work in psychology to feel good about it; because I know I have more than one skill. Because one thing I know for sure it is that I don’t like, at all, is to work in structured jobs, where you can’t have an opinion or a say, I would like to have a more a free job. But if I have to choose, I would prefer to work in my area but in the more flexible way possible so I could have time for me and my interests, and my independent proyects.

I’m studying psychology at the moment, but I had a few jobs in this area, most of the jobs that I had in the past are the typical college student's jobs. But is not like I don't want to do nothing on the psychological area, it's just that i don't like the idea of doing therapy, and the work that I'm interested in are the jobs where you are usually lock down in an office and that kind of places. And I just think I could not survive to that.

Team Human


Douglas Rushkoff takes us in a deep analysis of the repercussions of digital era in humanity and its own perception of itself, they ways we get to communicate and interpersonal relations we hold. He presents us the use of social media as the tool it actually is, juts an immense compilation of data for someone to use. Nevertheless, that is how big corporations see us, data for them to use, and we fall in this game, after all we manage to create or use things that take us away from the reality. Instead of look and enjoy a landscape, or enjoy a concert we take photos or videotape it, we are not present and this is how they succeed, they rely on our need for this type of gears. But he jumps to another more important topic, at least for me, he contrast two ways to look at this reality, of us lost in technology and in a consume culture, you could either lost all trust in humanity and focus on saving yourself, insolating from everyone else or you could trust in people, believe on them and yourself, that we could, on some point, open our eyes and see what we are doing wrong and do something to reverse it, starting to do good to other and life in general. Believing that what humans hold in the deeper of us is love, love for other, life and nature.
I prefer to stay with the second option, and you?

Psychology


Since I can remember I have been told that when I grew up I would go to college. So, when I finished high school I never wondered if I actually wanted to go to college, I just went.
When younger I wanted to study a lot of things, law, psychiatry, veterinary, etc. I never thought I would end up studying psychology. I just started to be interested on people, and trying to understand them, not in a “reading your mind” kind of way, but instead, I wanted to understand how they got to be the way they are on the present. Now I’m studying for a whole different reason.
I always wanted to come to Universidad de Chile, because everyone I knew told me that this was the best university of Chile and I believed them, now I think different but that’s another story.
Even tho I came here without been sure or not knowing what I wanted from this career, I don’t regret anything, because studying psychology has given to me so much and I’m really grateful for that.

my favorite subject at school

I had connectivity problems thats why I had to upload it so late.
