"What you see is what you get"?

We find a lot of proverbs in the language, and one of them is "what you see is what you get". This refers to the outward appearance of yourself can defined you, but is it true?

People use this particular proverb to analyze by the looks how it agree on their personalities, but it is not always viable. Once I saw an indigent on the street, this person were considerable filthy, suddenly a friend of my have a talk with him and we discovered he studied in the university but he was a victim of circumstance that brought him into the ruin. Despite this, he was a person who can keep a large argue about politics.

On the other hand, there is people who looks like a serious person but on the inside have a really dirty history. One example is the policies of today, they are presumed to be legitimated and not rascal, rather the majority of them has done illegal things related to money. 

People is assuming others' stories and your principles only by looking at you and that is impossible (although you were a psychic), you can not restrict a person to a facade and not to get know their stories.

Technology, is the second most important discovery the human being has done, after the fire. And now has become considerably prevalent in our lives and world.

The relevance that technology has in our lives is creating day by day pros and cons, but the main component that affect is always how the human is using the technology for.

The pros, for example, are the connection between two people living highly far from each other very quickly. Moreover, how it simplifies doubts to only one click on google, and the access to a huge amount of information, more than the school can provide.

On the contrary, the kind of cons that the misuse of technology occasion is the creation of weapons, the hacking to take possession of  

Pollution is a problem that people are becoming increasingly aware of

Pollution is a problem that people are becoming increasingly aware of.

                The damaging to the planet is accelerating day by day, as a consequence of human actions. The news are constantly showing the repercussion of the malpractice with the environment, yet the percentage of those are just growing.

For example, in the streets, the use of cars that contaminates the environment is raising per year. Also, the massive production of solid urban waste is, as well, creating dumping grounds all over the world., the problems about the iceberg are getting serious and the animals are losing their habitat, etc.

People are slightly being aware of this kind of issues even though their actions still exposing a  incomplete consciousness. I think this is a result of the unfinished information that the media is expounding, they always talk about the icebergs but they never talk about the reflection of sunlight and how it just deteriorate the pollution.

Living in a remote area can make a person's life rather challenging.

Nowadays we can observe more and more the migration to a city like Santiago because of the important universities that are only here, and the reason for people who travel from a remote place is, normally, have a better access. So that's one of the biggest challenges a people living in a remote area is facing.

For example, the communication is one of the big walls because of the distance from the society or another person near to them, in this case they can't know about the news in the outside. The access to services like water, electricity, and not talking about phones or wifi, can cause an extra challenge to the contrary of us.

The new type of family in Chile

As a student of Pedagogy in Preschool Education I would like to get into one of the realities of Chile, that are getting more as a mayority than a minority. This masive change in the country has been caused by the inmigration from southamerican countries.

This social change have caused a big impact on how the families are being made, and how them are inserted in society is one of the real questions for the social science. In my field, I can explore how the children are being inclueded in the chilean education. 

Some of the things that I am going to take into account for the research is how the identity of this people, who are looking to be inserted in this country whit a very old-fashioned society, is changing and getting "normalized" and their culture and traditions are getting lost.

One of the problems that affect directly into the childhood is the work of their parents. We all know that the time to work to these people is just unfair and the pay too, so that affect and how much time the parts spend with their childs and how them are not receiving the affection that they need. The cognition is being affected by this too.

This people is living in the most vulnerable places of the regions of Chile so that is an important fact that cannot let the child to be satisfied in most of his necessity.

So that's why this reality is being an important point of study nowadays.

English Language Challenges

This is the final post that we had and I can tell that I have learn a lot in this semester. This english class helped me a lot in things like, because of the english speakers that I am used to talk with use some commons mistakes that I didn't have a clue that they were actually mistakes so I imitated that.

For me, the use of blogs is very easy because I am always writing in english with people, comment post on the internet about the things that I am into, and those kind of things. So the posts even helped me in my daily life.

I am so convinced that my oral english is not as good as I would like to, so I have to improve the fluency of my phrases and be able to speak long times and not even hesitate in the vocabulary. And the way that I noticed that I can get better at it, is to speak in english with my friends, and not to be shy, just to let the words go out of my mouth so that could be how I plan to improve it.

These days, and maybe the last 3 years I have used english to read books and watch movies, series, and videos that had only english subtitles, also this months I have to help my friends with their english homeworks, so the daily time that I spend using english is big.

Is so good to have an english class in the university, because nowadays is the most used language in eveything, and to learn how to speak in english is a work tool that always will help us.
