Post VI: "Postgraduate Studies"

Hello everyone, I hope you being going well in this almost final of semester. 

In this post I'll talk to you about the title of this post "Postgraduate studies".

In my personal case this topic is something that I have not finished decided. Like I have talked in past post, I would like to make a change in social areas, and one of the parts in psychology that I like to try is Social psychology. 

This area in the psychology it is a very interesting field of study, because in it they can to research about the way of how a society works, how people interact each other and the social processes that affect behavior, among some of its functions. 

I think I would like to study in Chile, but I will rather to study abroad. I don't know were exactly but I think that would be better to take it in some were that has a vision that we don't have In here and have new  experiences.

I prefer to study face-to-face, but I have found that studying at home can be very rewarding, if you fulfill your duties and strive for it.

Post V: "My future job"

Hello everyone! In this post I will talk about the job I would like to have. This is a question very simple for me, because I'd always knew what I wanted to do in my life, and that is I would like to be useful, to help people trough the psychology. 

I think I image it in a rather organizational way, than simply in the clinic. I would like to manage the creation of public policies both in Chile and abroad. So it maybe a travel that would give me de chance of traveled to know different context and cultures. About the salary I would like to have the chance to have enough to help my family and live confortable but with the necessary.

In the present I am studying psychology and I would like to specialize some thing that allow me to reach my objectives, but I am not very sure about what in specific. I think I would like to specialize in gender and cross-cultural issues that are linked to psychology.

Blog IV: "The best movie I've ever seen"

Hello everyone, in this post I'll tell you about movies.

I believe that cinema is a very powerful toll to transmit ways of thinking, criticisms about the world that surrounds us, about values that distinguish us as humanity as well as what aspects of them we can change.

Also one of the things that I highlight from the cinema is the ability to generate intrigue or play with the mind of the viewer, therefore some of my favorite film genres are psychological suspense and science fiction.

One of the films that I usually highlight is Harry Potter, with I thing that being a film with a focus for children doesn't take away from how powerful its message can be. A child who has been violated in his childhood rights, who is not the best at anything because he didn't have the opportunities to achieve or dream about it. Who then is able to defeat both in the fantasy world and in human life, the ghosts of his past and the antagonistic villain.

It is a movie that inspires and motivates me to this day, despite having started to follow it since I was little.

Post III: What do I want to do after this quarantine is over

Hello guy's, this is the third post that correspond to What do I want to do after this quarantine is over?

I think this is a sensitive topic, because it covers global and personal issues. In my personal life has been a complicated time in terms of the emotional and also at the same time a time of much discovery and personal challenges. seeing the positive side, I have been able to advance academically, along with discovering yoga that has helped me cope with anxiety increased by the confinement. But at the same time, some of my personal goals, such as my studies, have been a source of great personal burden. 

Living with my partner has been able to be more bearable and together we encourage each other to continue. Something that has helped us for this has also been vegan and healthy eating, sports and meditation.

I do not have a specific position regarding this pandemic, I feel that many things will remain the same with respect to Chilean society and I believe that we will have to continue striving to have political changes that favor the population as a whole of those most affected by this crisis.

With regard to the pandemic, I think I am positive in aspects related to the vision of the importance of the well-being of mental health and the care of the body that we have acquired in these almost two years. 

And I also feel pessimistic about certain human rights that we must continue to claim from the government, such as the right to physical and mental health, along with the basic subsistence of Chileans. But I hope that the Chilean people are not the same as before and we will achieve the changes we want.

For this reason, at the end of this pandemic, my plans are to be able to continue with my undergraduate studies, to be able to travel to some place in Chile and prepare to do an exchange that allows me to grow in my career.

Post II: "The best holidays ever"

Hello to all of you.

In this post I want to share with you my last holidays before the pandemic get started in Chile. That it was exactly December 2019 to February 2020 until I came back. 

It think that at the time it was a very special trip because it was a familiar travel were it went for my own to visit my sister to  the US at the state of Colorado, in the city of Colorado Springs. 

In all that time I stayed there with my sister and brother in law. It was very special time for my family because my sister was pregnant of my first niece, so I could being with her when she was giving birth. 

On the other hand it was a very special time because I traveled there in christmas time, so I could have the experience of snowy christmas for first time and all that involve the American culture in that period, like been watching christmas movies in winter with hot chocolate, make a snow man, to visit houses of christmas lighting competitions and all that stuff, it was a really nice and beautiful experience.

To visit Colorado Springs it was a experience that I really enjoyed because it's a city that its located at the mountains with beautiful view of the city, were you can go trekking, visit cities, museums and places around like Garden of the gods, Manitou and Denver, between the places I could being.

 

Other interesting thing of Colorado is that it's a very healthy and sporty place to be, you can see always people of every age doing all tipe of sports. And also because the height its a good place to perform high performance sports (because the low amount of oxygen generates greater resistance) Colorado Springs has the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center, that I had the opportunity of visit too.

So if you want to go to a very nice place and visits around, I recommend you to go to colorado the people its very kind and make you to feel very confortable. 

 

Post I: "A country I would like to visit"

France

Hello everyone! This is the first blog session of English 4 FACSO 14 and I'll like to tell you about one of my favorites places in my wait list for future visits.

As you would have read in the tittle, the place that I would like to know is France. 

Im sure that you all know many of things that stand up of this country, like the emblematic places, culture and museums, that im in love too. 

                                                

 

One of the things that I really want to do in France is immerse myself in the things that characterize the people there, like know how is the way of thinking of them, what of they daily do and eat, how do they see the world, and the other typical things that we know about them like art and popular places, along with the things that they don't show to us, like the value that they give to the language for you to know them, etc.  

        

 

Other thing that I would like to know from France are the typical coffee shops, and more to the south near Tolouse La Chapelle au violin, a 19th century church.

 

                                               

And the last of the reasons for I would like going to is for made a postgraduate in areas of my interest like equality, gender, international relationships. All of them linked to psychology.
