Review

In the Sir Ken Robinson’s talk called “Do Schools Kill Creativity" he talks about the current culture that we live, and their focalization in certain matters of imagination and knowledge. Also, he talked about the educational system that doesn’t allow the children of being wrong and forcing their creativity to be bounded, this by making them afraid of being wrong with years of study. Also he says that all these problems found their source not only in culture, also in the society that we live and this one enforces the “professionalism” making us as fathers and mothers (or future fathers and mothers) to follow a certain scale of disciplines, putting in first place the science, in second place the letters and literature, and at last the arts. In the end of the talk he said as a manner of analogy with ecology that our only hope for our future is establish a new conception of human capacity, because the educational system has focused in some places of our mind that in future will no longer present benefits to us.

The future ~

Now, some writing about the future.

The time is set to 5 years in the future, what I will be doing after that amount of time?

Well, I think I'll be studying, maybe a master in political science, and if I'm not working I will be looking for one, since I'm studying now with a loan from the state, and I have two years to start paying when I graduate. In the best of the cases I will be in France, because I want to finish my studies there (and start a master there too).

Maybe I'll be living in a hostal, o I'll be paying rent with some friends (in the case of living in France). So, when the savings from working get big, I will choose whether to stay there, or to return to Chile and buy a Big house in the middle of a forest on a hill. There I will spend most of my time, making and eating sopaipillas with ketchup.

What about love? I don't know very well what will happen in that matter, but I'm sure that some day I will love a woman so much that I will like to live with her the rest of my life, and that day I will leave my house in the middle of the forest on a hill.

Thanks for the reading folks~

"The best person in your Area"

Well, now I have to write about a person that I admire and who has done mayor changes in the world, or at least my country. After giving it some thinking I thought of José Miguel Carrera.

So, Why do I think he is the Best ? Well, I belive that he is the true father of my country, and not O'Higgins. With the coup of 4th of 1811 he truly had the idea to make Chile a independent country from Spain.

The qualities that I admire the most of him, and what makes me belive that he is the best, are the determination and the strong will that he had. They were essential to go against the Rulers of those times.

Why do I admire Him?, I think that is pretty clear with what I have said before.

Badass Guy + Awesome Ideals = Admirable Person

And again, his actions in the coup of 1811 made him the best, a person capable not only of thinking in an independent country, also the will and power to do things to archive that. In those times Only a few pepople were able to do that.
