The blog "Rosarito"


I review the blog of Constanza, it calls “Rosarito” (I think that this name is for her city, or not?). I think that the design of the blog is really nice! And is evident her dedication in the title and the pictures that she publish in the blog in the lasts posts and she have a profile where say what is her favorite music, movies or books. I think that in a blog the picture are as important like the text, and really like the pictures of the post in this blog, especially the photography of San Pedro de Atacama
Among all the post of this blog I prefer “Favourite artist” because even though Pedro Lira isn’t my favorite artist I like the piece that Constanza commented on her post and too every time that I saw “La carta” I think who was wrote it? Why she hide the letter? What is writing in the letter? I’m very curious to know! Do you not?
I consider that I don’t to be the more appropriate person for say you what you should to improve, but maybe you can to put attention in the conjugation of the verbs and in the articles that you use in your sentences. I think that your blog is nice (I say the same in the first lines xD), but maybe when you write the post you can to enclose some phases or little questions that to invite to participate to people that read your blog…
Don`t ask me why I choose this image for the post, but the blog “Rosarito” refer me happiness and colors :)…

"We are chilean!!!"


If you ask me for the Chilean and our culture, I remember many people that say: “the Chilean haven’t national identity because all their culture is a copy” and yes, maybe they to be right, I think that not every time we have a strong sense of identity like country, however in little things we can recognize commune elements among the majority of the persons, like the food or some characteristic habits. I don’t like the football (I really detest it!), but when the national team won game against Honduras the people were very happy! In that moment all (or the majority) of the people believe more Chilean that never. Too when many persons going to Italy Square to celebrate, the people to hug each other, they jump, song, shout. I went the last year (don’t ask me why please ¬¬) and was really amazing for me how the people shout “we are Chilean!!!”
I have to say that I don’t like the “nationalism” and many of the things that this word represents. I think that in name of the “our country” the people can to do really bad things. I admit that not every time the people have bad intentions, but the consequences are almost always the same.
I think that is great to believe this felling of to be a member of an human group and to believe us protections in it, but you don’t think that will be better to believe this in all places and feel us like “world citizen”?

Dream, believe and dare





Is really difficult to choose only one favorite picture! Do you not think?
Maybe this picture isn’t my favorite but is especially because remember me some important people for me. In my school there were two walls that every year panting the group that were in the last year of school. In 2006, I and my friends decide to make the mural painting of my class. We thought many time in the image and in the phrase more suitable for the mural painting and finally we choose this for one motive: we had about to finish the school and in few time we have to change our life and to live in other places, so we to be afraid. In that moment we needed to hear something like this phrase: Dream, believe and dare.
We make this mural painting among four people and were its many days working for many hours, you can’ to imagine how difficult was painting the little square! However was great the teamwork and to speak for hours or to finish the day with paint in all our body.
This mural painting was important too because was the last time that we work together. The next year we go back to school and took this picture (you can see the wear out of the painting), but in that moment we were in the university to study in different cities. I like this picture because one of my friends love the art, but his parents didn’t in her talent and they don’t support her for study art, so when she see this mural painting and remember our long conversation he decided to change of career and now is an artist…

"She isn't sick, she's a dancer"

When Ken Robinson said “the public education only formed university teachers” that live in their heads and they are disembodied, really doesn’t talk about the Chilean education. In our case, public education, in general, is worse than that. He said that the system only developed the academic abilities and the school don’t worked the artistic abilities, this problem continue in the University and in the job, because now is necessary have more studies and academic support for to be accepted in the society. According to Ken Robinson, actual system was designed for have most useful subjects for work and to dominate the intelligence.
I consider that is really interesting to think in the children like potential genius and artist, but is really stunning to imagine how many talented people don’t know develop its abilities because in the school, one of the most important phase in our formation, isn’t important to work in the progress of creative capacities.
I think that in the Chilean case, the public education have more problems. Here the children learn to read or write really tardy and they have serious problems of understanding. So, I ask me ¿What is first: developed some basic abilities in the children or help them to work in their creative capacities? Maybe the solution is evolve with the same importance both field and to put the activities that help to developed the artistic and creative capacities in a significant place, because we can to be responsible of the loss some brilliant children…
