News

The most important new for this year, in my opinion, was the earthquake of February, 27. The earthquake removed the earth and also our mind. The earthquake was a catastrophic experience for the country and all the people since north to south of Chile felt the desperation, because many people have some relation with someone in the affected zone. Nobody could be indifferent about the earthquake and for many weeks this new was a most important issue for the media. Day and night the journalists were informing about the advances for the fallen building and the disappear people. Through twitter, facebook and other social network people use it for communicate and search the disappear people.

The issue was dramatic. But the media overdramatized more still. The power of media is incredible; the people follow them and believe them, but they didn’t think that maybe the media can manipulate the information and only they can show one part of the complete information. I have seen the News and I have read the paper, but also I think the media don’t say the entire true about certain thing, especially politics things. And this issue is a global condition, because not only in our country we don’t know all the information. In other countries the corruption is serious. For example, the people with more power and money can make to shut up any media. Maybe isn’t convenient that we know the entire true and is easier keep us drowsy, because this way they can manipulate us.

Radiohead in Chile

Hello everybody!

Today I’ll write about a great experience, it’s Radiohead Concert. In November, 2008 I stayed in the University when a partner talks me about the Radiohead in Chile; it was really incredible because I never thought something like that… I decided got to the concert because I think is a great band and I like very much your music. I’m really excited. The concert was March, 27th in 2009 in Pista Atlética del Estadio Nacional. I'm going to some friends and us want a lot of time for to come in the place. Many people stay here one day after! They sleeping out the Estadio Nacional waiting the Concert and they wish have the first place for this. Many people bought the most expensive ticket waiting stay near of the group. I bought a cheaper ticket, but even so it was some expensive. When we could to come in the Estadio Nacional we run fast for stay near the stage. Finally my friends and me choose for stayed in a stands and we saw the Concert very far away, anyway it was unforgettable.

The support band of Radiohead was Kraftwerk, a Germany group of electronic music, I like this group too, but in general the people were coming to scream some stupid thing because they want very eagerly the principal group. But I think Kraftwerk is an interesting band very important for develop of electronic music. Twenty minutes before, Radiohead its coming to play, I scream and sing, I really like and enjoying this concert. Visually it was fascinated; the light effects were very attractive and Thom Yorke is a great singer…

This concert was really amazing!

Opportunities

Our country is a place where opportunities in general are limited.  Sometimes a lot of people has been to work in a different places where don’t like, they are this only for survived. I think that: in general Chile isn’t a place with opportunities, in many aspects as education, work or health. Some people have more opportunities in our country, they are a select sector of Chile and they have an important factor for them: the money.  Gender and opportunities in Chile is other aspect about that. When we talk to about the gender we make a distinction between men and women. I think make this distinction at the work or anything aspect is discrimination. Historically the woman has been “weak sex” and the man has been the supplier and the hard-working. Today the woman goes to work too and we make many other things. But the opportunities between man and woman are still unjust. For example in any work the man are more possibilities to stay in the place that a woman, overcoat the woman has find a fertile age. The male chauvinism still exists in our country and for this many women hasn’t opportunities for to develop.  Although people think about the feminist and feminist freedom for these days, the equality of opportunities is still a dream. Is true, we have advance in this topic, but we still don’t are really equitable.

In conclusion, the opportunities in our country is far to be egalitarian and not only for woman and men for homosexual people too.
