Sustainable growth or sustainable development Why is it so important to generate awareness of sustainable growth? First of all, “sustainable growth is what takes into account economic growth with respect to nature and the subsistence of the next generations and, simultaneously, that serves social inclusion with equity criteria”. We must realize as a society that we are living in a world that offers us vital resources, which are limited and that as people in constant reproduction we must take care of the form of consumption and exploitation of nature in a capitalist world, that what is sought is the growth of capital and generate more and more production and consumption, taking into account that we are not the only species that inhabits this planet and that we are part of an entire ecosystem that also has basic needs that nature offers us. The accumulation of capital until now is more than enough to stall the overproduction and exploitation of nature and to keep the majority...

If it weren’t for this class, my English would not be where it is today. The blog especially helped me out. Although my English is nowhere near to perfection, it has come a really long way from before taking this course. The weakest part of my English is the speaking aspect. Recently a cousin of mine who only speaks English has come to Chile to visit. We are about the same age and I plan to apply my English to be able to communicate with her! This class is already proving to be beneficial to my everyday life and will most definitely help me in my future career as a professional.

What is your opinion about tattoos? My opinion about tattoos is positive, because I like too much and I have seven in my body. I think that are a reflection of my likes, speaking from my personal opinion. I think the tattoos shouldn’t be criticized and people who have tattoos should not fall victim of prejudice by society.  Although I know it’s hard, because unfortunately prejudices and stereotypes are part of the society, even when I got here to my house whit my first tattoo, when I was fifteen, my mom gave me a long talk moral whit the typical commentary “you won’t find job”, I remember exactly what finished the discussion with my mom, she told me «why you close up so many doors?”  And I said “maybe those doors I never wanted to open up”, so she understood then that was based its opinion social prejudice. What is your opinion about legalizing marijuana and abortion? My opinion about legalizing marijuana is in favor, but I know that Chile is very far from the legali...

It was too tough choose a person, because I remembered many people famous, but I chose option most impossible, the person who I chose it was Amy Winehouse, because I love his music and your story is interesting. In his songs expresses a lot of feelings and what I can say for his voice, is really awesome. When I read a little bit about the story of she, I realized that suffered much to love, same way she expresses in his songs. I find interesting that she’s part of "the club of the dead to the twenty-seven years". That group of artist that died at that age left a legacy of amazing music. I really appreciate that, but I regret that I can’t hear them in live, especially to her, Amy Winehouse. I would’ve loved to listen to her in a concert and have been able enjoy this incredible and only voice and the whole band as a whole. I love the soul that gives us. Amy Winehouse is and will always be on my artist favorite, although many of its fans complained after their concert, because...

well I would like to study something related with social psychology because psychology has been the career that has been in my mind the hole time I have been in school. Unfortunately I didn’t got the minimum points to be admitted in the university of Chile so I decided to chose social work because, despite having the chance to go into other universities to study psychology, when I got to know the career it caught my attention for the first moment. I feel like I made a really good decision because, in addition of loving my career, I love this university. However, this semester, I had social psychology in one of my subjects and it really called my attention the approach that it has from social work, leaving aside the individualization and the psychology of the “subject”. All the processes of the society really call my attention and that’s why I would like to go deeper and learn more about the reason of the human behavior. Despite that, I know that this idea could change in time and mayb...
