My Favorite Photograph

Jean-Marc Bouju took this photo between March and May on 2003 in Iraq. He was embedded with the US Army's 101st Airborne Division, third brigade. In this moment the Brigade had received approximately 30 war prisoners for interrogate them. Among them was a child. The child was a son of a war prisoner, his father refused to leave him alone in the wilderness when he was captured The prisoners were locked in cages surrounded by barbed wire.

The child would not stop mourn for the living situation, therefore, a soldier decided to cut the prisoner's handcuffs so he could embrace and calm his son.  In conclusion, the photo shows to a father and his son that are afraid in wartime while they are war prisoners.

I know that this kind of photos are awful, but i like it because shows realities than sometimes we don’t know that happens. This photo is one of them, I like it because shows two opposite things: the human cruelty and unconditional love.

How sport can improve chilean life standards

It is proven that sport improves the health of people. The sport improves cardiac efficiency wasting less energy to work, lowers blood pressure and varicose veins, sport allow us lose weight and prevent diabetes. Also the sport have psychological benefits, sport increases the feeling of wellbeing and reduces mental stress.

The Chileans have access to practice sport , everybody can practice inexpensive sports like running, the poor population plays football and basketball in streets. the problem is in the access to rare sport in Chile especially for the poorest people, sports like polo, esgrima or archery are uncommon. I believe that the authorities only promote a few sports, the authorities only build football fields or basketball fields in poorest villages, also only football is broadcast on public television channels. The poorest people who want practice other uncommon sport, can not do it.

I think that many of the common health problems in Chile could be solved if the Chileans do more sport, the public clinics would be less saturated without so many people ill for lack of sport (like diabetics, obese or people with heart problems). Therefore I think that authorities  should do public policies to promote more sports (not only football). 

My fauvorite piece of technology

My favourite piece of technology is my pendrive. I like it because my pendrive has 1 terabyte of storage also is small. I bought it one month ago in a shop of Casa Royal. I use it everyday for save my class notes because I don't use paper and pens  to write my class notes , instead I use my laptop because that is faster and practical in microsoft word. Also I use my pendrive for do back ups from my computer and recreational things like save movies, softwares, serials, music  and video games . I really like it because I have many multimedia files that could use a lot of space on the hard disc of my computer, if I had not my pendrive my files would be in danger... My computer could be decompose or could be stolen.

New Semester

I'm studying public administration and I have several new subjects this semester. These are administrative theory, scientific theory, statics, administrative laws, English and microeconomics. All my subjects are interesting but science theory sometimes is boring for me when the class gets too philosophical and abstract.

I'm taking chess class in my extracurricular space. I'm a bad player but I want to be better (that's actually the reason I took it on the first place). I enjoy playing chess, even though I constantly lose games. In my free time, I participate in "Cyber-Inap", this is a game group in my university that plays classic video games, such as Age of Empires, Counter Strike and Age of Mythology.

I hope to pass all subjects this semester with good grades and participate more in political spaces.
