Last blog

Frankly, take English class this year wasn't within my priorities, at all, I must admit. This is because I have to wait a long time for the class (for the protected horary) from 11:45 to 16:15. But well, it is a requirement for graduating passing the English course. Anyway, the course itself was ok, even funny at times, this is a point to consider, with another teacher or other activities the course had been horrible. But overall I think it was ok xD. About the use of the blog, I think are useful, because we can practice how to articulate sentences in English and all that. But I find them boring, mmm, no, not boring, but I prefer to do the blogs in my house and not in the university until 19:30, because I get home late and tired.

I think I need to improve my speech in English. Overall, I quite understand people talking in English, but I find difficult to talk. I don't know how to improve it, I guess I can only improve it through practice, and practice, and practice... I practice english listening by the movies, I use subtitles, but still helps me to practice. At the end, I can understanding more the voices than the subtitles, and I can identify errors in the subtitles.

Actually, I don't use much English in my daily life, but I understand that is very useful in many cases. For the university I haven't need to read many texts in English, so I don't can see the need to learn english in my case jaja (its a joke). I use English mainly in music, to understand the lyrics, or sometimes to read short articles on the internet. But no more than that ... I think.

But anyway, I think it would be good learn once and for all English (someday...)

Some reflections

Honestly this hasn’t been my best year. At least, in personal life, things haven’t turned out as I expected in any sense. But well, this is life. There have been good things this year anyway, I started some projects with friends, something like a "radio show" but not really, it’s a PodCast. I guess that's a good thing that has happened this year. I have a better experience academically, this year I began to choose the subjects of  my interest (almost), so readings and works are interesting. Finally I can read and work on issues of  my interest, and the university is no longer seen as a mere obligation (almost xd). Frankly, I think that I haven't gotten achivements this year, but, perhaps some things can be mentioned. I worked a lot with a group of partners in an assistantship (ayudantía) this year, it has been very profitable for all and quite interesting, so I can mention it as a good thing from this year. Anyway, I guess counts as one achievement. I think this year I have liked all my subjects except one, a subject of laboral psychology. In Psychology is an obligation to take a subject of each area (laboral , clinical, communitary,  juridic, educational) and I preferred to get rid of that nasty area as soon as possible.
I don't know , I think it was a bad and boring year for me, so I just hope the next one will be better, but I 'll kill myself. No, I don't really kill me, but I will complain a lot about life.

Bye.

Summer plans

Hello, today I'll talk about my plans for this summer. Really, I have no plans for this summer, at least for places to go. But I would maybe go to the beach with some friends a few days, not more than that. I also like to go a couple of days to Linares because I have family there. I would stay a couple of days with my aunt. It is a very quiet place where I can read quietly without noise. But after a while it gets a bit boring, that's why I would not be there a long time. I have no activities or groups in that i would like to join, but if I would go with friends to the movies or something. In the Normandie show good movies on Tuesdays, that would be something I'd do in the summer. Another thing I like to do is read everything I like and just what I want, take advantage of this free time to enjoy reading. If any work appears I think i can work some weeks, it would be good to have some money.
But I think the main thing that I would take advantage of the summer is not having to go to university. To sleep well, without the pressure of having to do things in a hurry to leave for university. Not having to do work that doesn't interest me, and take advantage of my time on things I really want.
Well, basically that's what I plan for summer, bye c:

About the psychology

In this blog i will try to show a view about the arisen of psychology as a discipline using the statements of Foucault about the power. I have chosen this matter because I see as fundamental the understanding of conditions of arisen of our discipline (The psychology) to be able to face the views of normalization and clasification of people.

First, Foucault doesn't understand power as something one has or not (like He Man: "I have the power"), but as something it is executed. For him, historically there are different ways to execute the power or different structures of power, on the one hand sovereignty power corresponding to monarchy and on the other, disciplinary power, which corresponds to modern state. But, is more important  understand disciplinary power, where we are right now and understand how it is related with psychology.


To explain disciplinary power, Foucault uses a panopticon analogy. Panopticon then would be a construction, a building, that allows to make visible the behaviour of all subjects from a central point of this institution, but they (the subjects) don´t know if they are observed or not,  because, in the exact middle of the prison, there is a watchtower that illuminates the cells that surround this central building. This light blind subjects, not letting them know if there is someone in the tower

For Foucault we function in a society that reproduces that function of omnivicibility and omnicontrol. In this way, the objective of disciplinary power is that each subject inside the system takes control of himself. The effect generated by this, is that there is no need for guardians in the control tower, it is enough that the tower exists to make the subjects regulate themselves.

Here we reach main point, which is that disciplinary power doesn' t need to observe what the subject thinks, only sees the behavior. An abnormal behavior means an abnormal psyche. Then, it is understood that if disciplinary power performs this operation, that psychology played and crucial role for the creation of this type of power, becasue psychology is installed with a knowledge and a group of techniques about psyche, about mind.

Weell, this, bye bye...

The enviroment

Hi, this blog is about the environment. I think people don't learn only in school about care the environment (although of course greatly influences), I think that those habits are learned at home. The family is responsible for educating people. Personally I recycle but not as much as it could be. For example, with glass bottles or aluminum cans if we do, but not beyond that, perhaps with the cardboard. I don't use bike because I don't have one :c my brother has one, but it is very small, ugly and destroyed. We have no car, so obviously i didn't use. I only use the bus and subway train to travel, Besides walking. I'm also not enrolled in any organization that cares about the environment, Sometimes I can give some money on collections that are made on the street, but no more than that. The truth I'm too lazy, and I have no interest, I prefer not to get involved in something if I'll do with no real interest. Things to do. I do not know really, maybe try harder to recycle things that I don't recycle now, or buy a bicycle. But the truth, as I live in Puente Alto, everything is a bit far for use only a bicycle. Maybe plant a tree, I dont't know. I guess the important thing is to make these small actions to protect the environment, don't throw garbage in the street, prefer public transportation or bicycle, etc. Educate others on these habits is also something I can do to help the environment.

In our city the environmental problem is very important, much remains to be done yet, but I think the most important thing needed is education. About recycling, pending issues: what to do with waste, reducing the use of cars, or share the car with other people, not use as much wood or dry wood, etc. I think many initiatives to reduce levels of air pollution still missing, and it shows in the level of pollution that is always in winter, all year actually...

Well bye :c  

The possible problems D:

The last week I Talk about my possible future job, my “dream job”, and I discover that I don’t have one jaja. But, I think the clinical psychology will be my job in the future. About the possible problems, I may encounter in the future when looking for work is, first of all, that Chile is saturated of psychologists and I believe the high demand will make difficult to find the work I want. Another drawback may be depending on the area I choose to work for, for example if I decide to be a clinical psychologist I will have fewer opportunities to get a job if I lean toward the area of the psychology of work and organizations.The experience is necessary too, I think I should have a magister or another postgrade degree to have real chances to find the job that I want, and I also think it would be fine to have one.
I think one of the advantages, I hope, might be having studied in Universidad de Chile and not in other universities, I guess that weigh to my side when someone is choosing workers. Other advantage is that, as psychologists, passing the psychological tests will not be a difficult issue, and as well psychologists are needed everywhere, so there would be not need to travel to another city or something, as happen with mining and other industries. 

Ehh, about my own fears, I really think that I don’t have many, I don’t have the fear of winning, unless I will not have being to this career, and neither have the fear of no find a work because I think I’m gonna find one, so be with it

My future Job

Mmm my ideal job. I haven't really thought about it. I guess I don't have a dream job in mind. Perhaps my dream job is related to the psychology, after all, it is why I'm here, but really I don't know. The fundamental thing for me is having an interesting job, and psychology seems to be interesting. I'm not necessarily thinking in clinical practice (the area that motivates me) but the themes and theories in psychology interests me enough to study them. Because of that, I guess my dream job doesn't would be outdoors. Regarding a Major or something, I hadn't thought about that until now, but I think I want to take something related with philosophy, psychoanalysis or epistemology, I don't know, sounds interesting. About the possible salary of my "dream job", I don't consider it something really important, If my intention was to make money, I would study laws or engineering, no psychology jaja. The main thing for me is to avoid boredom, I could not work on something I consider boring or monotone, independent of the money that this could bring. But, I cannot deny that money is needed to live, so it is important a complement between personal satisfaction and salary.

To be honest, I hadn't thought about my laboral future, although I have only 2 years. After writing this I see that I have nothing really clear jaja :c

Bye.

About the language (?) Just a thought...

I would like to talk to you and make you reflect, hopefully (?), about some certainties that we have in daily life, some matters that we simple take for granted and perhaps we had never either analyzed or questioned befor. 

When we talk to someone, we take for granted  that words we use  to communicate our thoughts and ideas really express the meanings we are alluding. To give an example, it doesn`t matter if I say a friend “buen libro”or “good book” I assume both significants refer to same meaning, which is object itself. In fact, not very often this logic is questioned. 

Doubt (and the problem) comes when we analyze that meanings all of us have against particular objects, can vary between different people. Hence, when I say "book", I cannot ensure by any means that the rest of the people share same meaning, the meanings are a simple belief, to tell in other words, which arises due to multiple interaction of  different significants in daily living. 

Maybe my issue was a little boring or confusing (maybe), but I think it is interesting to analyze and it is important and closely related to our careers (maybe), and for my classmates, psychology.

My favourite piece of technology

Well, the invention I will talk of is not very recent, but its very important in the daily life, particularly for me. I talk about the glasses. I always think than my life would not be the same without glasses. For example, if I would have been born in Sparta, they would have killed me when I began to have problems in my vision :c . I have these problems aprox when I had 14 years, But I delayed a year in going to the ophthalmologist, even my parents and friends had to force me (a little) to go jaja.

I use my glasses long ago (7 years app) and I believe that I will do it forever.

In the beginning I hated them, they were uncomfortable, but, at present I no longer care to use them.

How often I use it? well, I use them every day, for everything (And I am not  exaggerating), of corse, this includes watching movies and many other things I like. And I like it for the same reason, my life would be very difficult without them. I can live without computer, phone, even without a bathroom, but never without my glasses.

Bye. $

My best holidays.

I'd like to share with you my experience in the island of  Cuba. I went with my family (my mom, dad and brother) on February 2011, when I  was starting my last year in school. We travel to Cuba because my parents have friends who came from there and we liked the idea of visiting the island. The flight was very tiring, seven hours to Panama and then two hours to La Habana. This city is very beautiful, it is full of history  many places to visit, though we spent just two days there, but still visited and toured everything we could.

After our stay in La Habana, we went to Baradero for another three days, which is a very large beach with light blue warm water where we could swim for a long time. Most of the tourists who were with us were from Canada and South America, this because the government of Cuba puts many restrictions on the entry of U.S. citizens.

These were my best vacations because the island its full history and beautiful places to visit, and we fell the joy and the warm hospitality of its people.

Hi

Hello! My name is Rolando but my friends tells me Don Rolando. I'm 22 years old and staudy psichology in the Universidad de Chile. I like the music, movies, literature, and many other things. Presently i live with my mother, father and my brother in Puente Altto (far away to my university unfortunately)

at the present im in the third year of my carrer, because of this we are taking elective classes. Personally I care most of clinical psychology and philosophy, or something like that, so I expect to take classes related to these topics. Outside the university issues, I recorded pseudo- radio programs with friends to hang out, but they are of extremely poor quality
bye (:
