Mi favorite TV serial: DEXTER



My favorite TV serial is call “Dexter”. It is an american television drama series that airs on the Showtime channel. It is based on novels by Jeff Lindsay: “Darkly Dreaming Dexter”, “Dearly Devoted Dexter” and “Dexter in the Dark.” The serial centers on Dexter Morgan (the actor Michael C. Hall), a jovial employee in the Miami Metropolitan Police Department's crime lab, where he works as a blood spatter analyst. The interesting thing is that Dexter have a double life: he is a covert serial killer. His actions and thoughts are governed by a strict moral code: He only kill “Bad guys” (murderers, torturers, etcétera).
The first time that I listen about this TV serial was a couple years ago. Nevertheless, the first time that I saw it was this year, because I download all the seasons free from internet.
The principal reason that makes me want to see the TV show is that I think that Dexter have an internal justice principle, and the “strange way” (be a killer) that he use to satisfy that idea. At the same time, he has to resolve murders, so that thing make double interesting (because it have a lot of police cases). Also, the history is very exciting, with a lot of tension moments, many of whom are given by other interesting characters.

Transantiago

Hello everyone!
In a very first time, I hated Transantiago. That was because in the moment that Transantiago was implemented, I was living in La Reina, a neighborhood with a bad public transfer. If before Transantiago I have different bus routes, after I had only one!
But today, I live in another part of Santiago. I live in Ñuñoa, near to Irarrázaval, so I have a diversity of bus routes that cross this avenue.
I think that Transantiago is better than the pre-Transantiago system in only one thing. This thing is the BIP target. I think that it is an easy way to pay, because it’s faster and comfortable to transport. And, the better thing is that with one passage you can make more than one travel.
However, I think that Transantiago it is a bad system. The worst thing that it have it is that it doesn’t have coordination between buses. Because of this, sometimes you have to wait almost a half an hour, and sometimes they past one after other.
The last thing that I say it’s the first change that I will do if I could. The second one it is about the bus stop. I see on the street that they are very badly done, because some of them are very big for only one bus, and other are to small for a lot of bus routes.

A country I would like to visit


A country I would like to visit with all my heart is Egypt, because only its name sound exotic to me, I imagine a country with narrow street, buildings like little palaces with the smell of centuries of history, camels, women dressed with veils, palm trees and people eating dates, nuts and pistachios.
I know very little about it, one of those things is that the climate is humid, hot and dry, a dessert weather, that they have a president and a lot of poverty in spite that they do have rich nesses like oil and that their official religion is Muslim and their language is from Arabic roots.
If I go there someday, I would like to learn more about their dance: the seven veil dance, the belly dance and the odalisque dance and to listen to their music and buy a lot of it.
I will be very happy to study and live there for a couple of months in a “Dance academy” with a native dancer to perfection my own style of oriental dancing that I practice these days.

A new term!!!!!!!

Hello everyone!!

In general, the first term was good. I’m going to talk about different areas:

- University  I took 7 courses: Theory of Systems, Quantitative Methods, Qualitative Methods, Easter Island Culture, Gender, Development Anthropology and English. I like the most part of these classes, and I think that I learned a lot of new things. But in the last part of the term I was very stress, because I had to do a lot of big works (And also I have exams).
- Family  I have a few of big problems with some of my relatives (for example, with my sister), but nothing impossible to overcome.
- Friends  I had difficulty with some of my classmates, but I tried to think that was a problem of the other person (not mine).
- Love  I was singer (and I still be one). It was a calm term “for my hearth”.
- Health  My health was great! I got sick only one time, and it was nothing to worry about.

Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity

On the link http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity.html yoy can see a video called "Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity". Today, I will make a reviwe and a comment about this video.
It was very difficult to me to understand the video because Ken Robinson has an english accent.
Ken Robinson is a man about 50 years olds.
In his conference, the man review this themes:
1) Extraordinary of human crativity
2) The future (¿how we make planes?)
3) The education.
4) The human intelligence.

Sometimes he appears like a comediant, but he is saying something important and serious.
The central argument is: Ken Robinson question himself and the audience about the education system that its present all around the word. He affirms that this system nurtures creativity. It seems that the adults are loosing innovation capacity, and principally because this system prepares people to the work world, and not for a development for there habilities. He said that there is “People that have to move to think”.

My blog experience

In first place, I have to say that I had never had a blog before. Because of this, it was a new experience. It was difficult to me, because I don’t have the habit to writ posts. Also, it took me a lot of hard to write in English, because a long time ago that I don’t did this. I want to explain a lot of things, but I don’t find the correct words. That is one of the reasons that have a blog it was not a enjoy experience. But the way, and because the same reason, it was something good to improve my English level. Sometimes I think that my writing hability it’s the worst. So, have a blog it a good way to improve it.

In other way, I think that the information including in some posts was very similar. More that one time I write “Medical Anthropoloy”, because I have to answer question relation with mi career. But in general, I like the topics of the post. The most I like was when I answer “A photo that I like.” In that case, I learn a lot of new words to talk about that.

Finally, in conclusion, it was more the better than the worst in my experience of have a blog. Today I can say that I know how to use one. And, the more important, I learned to say a lot of phrases and words in the correct way.

My favorite subject

My favorite subject this term is Qualitative methodology. The reason I like it is because this subject give me a body of knowledge that it’s very important for my formation like a social scientist. In qualitative methodology I had learn about two techniques: Life history and Focus group. The first it is refers to the biography of some person. In the other hand and the second it is refers to a group conversation. Booth of them are very important, because they give as direct information about what people think and what they do. It give as a particular information about the problematic of the subjectivity, that is very important for all the anthropologist all around the world. Also, this subject gives me a theoretical approach about the methodological phenomenas involved on the social investigation process, so is very complete and very useful-
