The United States (and other societies in cross-cultural comparision): Women who voluntarily submit their bodies for aesthetic surgery.

This ethnographic case is about of the how the medicine and business generate controlling processes in the shaping women`s body, that is to say, if the women submit their bodies for aesthetic surgery, mainly surgery of breast implants, this choice it was voluntarily or her decision has been influence for the culture controls or “mind colonization” as called Coco. In this research, the people who are involved are American women, there are a lot of women of this country that choose to have surgery of silicone-gel breast implants, because the social message that they have internalized is that have a small breast is to be in some way deviant and this deformities are really a disease. In a quotes with a past president of the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery said that this effect is resulted of the patient`s feelings of inadequacies, lack of self-confidence, distortion of body image, inter. And it is for that, that the cosmetic surgery it is necessary to the patient`s psychology health. It is the same society that controlling this process trough that their internalization of the message social, in a subtly way, the women are indoctrinated to recognize and desire a certain kind of beauty presents and interesting possibility, and they feel they are making the decision for their own. All this process responds to the logic of capitalism,and it operates by controlling information and the creation of speech that began with the idea of you don´t must have a small breast if you want keep your husband, attract men, etc. There are femisnist research that are doing something for break this control process, but for the author of this paper, the free choice is only an illusion…

Oh no!...english again!

I was 14 years learning english in the school, and every year I learned the same, do and does, sang a song, to be verb, for what? For nothing, because when I gave the english test I could see that I didn`t know nothing, because for my surprise I had been in level 1!! I fell in a deep depression. But if I see the good side, learn english again it would be a very good chance to learn this language well. All we should take the advantage the opportunity that they are giving to us for learn english, it is very important know this language.

In this university learn english is obligatory, there are four levels. And how I tell you I began in the first level and now I`m in my last level and I´m very happy for that. I think that the english test with the university measure your level of english it is not so good, because sometimes there are people that know speak and talk in this languaje but they don´t get through the test. And I don´t understand. Well, but in my case I agree with the decision to put me in the first level in a 100 percent, because it was true, my level of english it was not so good.

I have to said, when I started english course the teacher was very nice, but he taught a very basic english and the difference with the next level (level two) it was so big for me and my classmate. Add more, I thought that the this courses didn´t give me the necessary elements for help me to increase my grammar and my skills for speak in english, but I`m wrong, in had a fellow in english one, and she knew nothing about this language, she barely knew the alphabet, but now she know a lot of english, I admire her because she has improved very much. In my case, the truth is that I don`t have the best grammar or the best pronunciation, but if I get lost in the EEUU, I could speak, like and Indian, but I know that I could communicate with them.

I think that the idea of teach english to the college students is a good opportunity for us, because many people don`t have the resources to pay an english course. And in this world that we live in it is very important know this language, there are a lot of papers in english and the update information is also in this language. For my experience in this four semesters of english course, I can said is very important have motivation, dedication and engagement. The most students don`t have this elements, I think it is important create awareness among the students about the importance of learn english.

Our mother earth

“…During my life I have dreamed of seeing the great herds of wild animals, jungles and forests full of birds and butterflies, but now I ask if they even exist for my children to see.

Did you have to ask you these things when you were my age?...”

Like this one girl, called Severn Cullis-Suzuki, of only 13 year old began the speech in front of the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Along with group members Michelle Quigg, Vanessa Suttie, and Morgan Geisler, Cullis-Suzuki presented environmental issues from a youth perspective at the summit, where she was applauded for a speech to the delegates.

This speech, made me think about the world that I live, and you live too. When I finished to see this video, I saw my house and almost all the lights were on! And this light were not being used!!.

All the government spoke about a lot of things, like the delinquency, the economic, of the education, but the environment issues are very few times when they are touched, only they are touched when the pollution indices are very highs or when one green organizations does some noise.

I think that we have to do something for the world where we live; I want that my kids see all the beautiful things of this world, the forest, jungle, etc. I want my children to know the tigers, just there are only between 3000 to 4000 tigers in the wild state!!!

Some people do something for change our behavior, they do a lot of things, and sometimes it is a style of life. But, it is not necessary change all your life style, just if you turn off the lights that are not being used, recycle all the things that you can, don`t through the papers in the floor!

One of the action most important that we can do all for maintain a clean environment is the recycling. There are a lot of things that we can recycle. There are containers in the supermarket for recycling, you just need the desire and motivation to make this world a better place.

When I listen the speech of ECO, I started to recycle, with my mom separate the plastic of the carton and the glass, and then my mom put this material in the containers of the supermarket. It is impressive, is a lot of material that could become litter! This is a little contribution to improving the environment, but if you don`t start with something, how can you argue against the destructions of our world.

I like this world, and I don`t want that all his beauty will be destroyed, or ill continued...

What happenned if you won the loteria games?...woouw I think it should be very amazing. Is like the “pive`s dream”. I`m always think what does the winner pleople of this plays when review the results and realize they have won the jackpot! All your dreams can be true! Travell for the world, pays your debts, buy whatever you want…I want to feel this feeling , and for that I`m almost always buy a ticket, because the ultimate of lost is hope... xD

I think the first thing that I would do is travel over the world, visiting those wonderful places that I´ve always dreamed. I think that I would visit Japan, its a place with a big history and a grat culture, have some marvellous places to visit with wonderful view. I would like to visit Europe, France, Germany, Italy, I would like travell for all the world, and of course, travell around my country too.

When I comeback of my travel I would like to buy a car, and perhaps give a big gift to my parents, my mother always said that she would like to live in the south, and If I win the lotery I can send to build a house in a nice spot, bougth a horse for my dad... I can pay my University and maybe buy a place to put my own consultory.

But the likelies said me, it`s very difficult will be a winner of the lotery, so for realice all this dreams I will have to work so hard..

“thanks for to believe that we are a live”…said one of the miners when he come out of the capsule Fenix.

Then 33 weeks, the same age that Jesus the 33 miners has been rescued. This history is very amanzing for a lot of things, the paid atention of all the world was very impressive, in all the countries of the world it was being broadcast in a live the moment of the rescued, the faith of the family`s miners about that all it was be ok, the organization, the feith, the comradeship the miners, and their calmness in all the procesess it was admirabl, they are a special group. There was a lot of different personalities, one of theirs was Mario Sepulveda, he is very extrovert and with a lot of energy, it was very emotional his rescued.
Inclusive the all miners won a premium`s guinness for they will be the mens that most time were uderground.

In all the process of the rescued there a lot of press, follow this big and incredible history. In the momento of the rescued there was almost 500 TV show and nearly of 2000 reporters transmitting all that was happenning. Inclusive my sister that she is in Sydney saw all the rescued. However, I think that it was a sort of reallity show, I hope that the TV shows don´t invade their privacy, and this history don´t will be a comercial`history.

Like almost of history that cause an impact, this history have too one misterious with the number 33, well first the miners are 33, the day that was taken the first contact with the miners it was the 33 week of the year, the age that Jesus died was 33, the day that they achieved to the miners was the 22 -08-2010 and if you sums of all the numbers the result is 33, it was 33 days of drilling with the T-130 machine for arrive to the miners, and the day that get out to the first miners was the 13-10-10, and if you sums all of the numbers gives 33. Well all of things can be just a coincidence, but is it not too much coincidece?.

Santiago

Hi, you have lucky if you are visiting Santiago, and if you don`t yet visit my city, you should be, because is a great city, there so much things that you can do and places tan you can. Ok, it is true, Santiago have a lot of pollution, and there some people call this city like “Santiasco”, but when in Santiago rain, the next day is very beatifull, and you can see the range the Andes, is very near of this city, and the sea is near too!! That is very cool…

The place that I like to visit

Well, it is very difficult for me to say where I would like to go, because I will travel for all the world, there are so much countries that I like to go some day, but I like to know my country first. Whatever, the first country that I would choose for travel it will be Italia, specifically Venecia, before it skins. I think that Venecia is a beatifull place, but I would not live there, because I think that will be very unconfortable have to go out of your house and found water…

A lot of people visites Venecia all the year, is a tourist place, my aunts went to Venecia a lo of years, well, they told me that is very beatiful, but is not a funny place. But I don`t care, I want to go in a Gondola, well, and then I will go to other parts of europe, like Greece, I would love to know the greece ruins. The other day I saw the film “mamma mia”, it was filmed in greece, and the sea was beatifull…The truth is I scour all over Europe. I had a friend that who wanted to travell for Europe by bicycle, but this is not for me, I prefer rent a car jajaja..

But, before of my travell all around the world, some day jaja, I will star travell in my country.

See you!

My experiences during the first term.

Hi! My name is Cecilia, I`m psychology student and in the last term I was in the fifth semester of my profession. I will tell you about my experiences during the first term of this year. That semester began the second stage, and showed us all the areas that you can do in the labor world, for example you can work in the areas of education, legal, community, clinic, etc. The last term I can`t to decided the area that I will follow, because I really like all the areas. We had practical work in almost all subject, for example for community psychology we had to go at the CECOSF of Peñalolen, it was a great experience.

The challenges that I had to face were the problems of my career, nobody want to face the problem , I really hope to find a solution to this, with the aim that other students of less courses do not have the same dificulties.

Outside of the university, I practice Arabic dance, I love it, and in the term of the semester we had a presentation in the “Facetas theater” it was very great, but at the same time it was a disaster. First, I don`t knew very well the choreography, because at that moment we had a lot of test in the university and I don´t had time for practice Arabic dance. In the day of presentation, some of my partners doesn`t had her costumes for dancing, and for finish when we had to presentation the DJ put a wrong song…it was a disaster, but now a think that was very funny.

Oh! I do not why, but almost always when I took a bus or the subway the last semester I met whit an old friends. It was very funny.

Well, this was some of my experience of this semester, I hope share a lot of stories!

See you!
