Animals ♥

Hi bloggers!!!

I really love animals, I consider myself an animal-lover, I think they are like us, I think they think, love, hate and have needs like us, and because of it I feel them as equal to us. I have a pet in Santiago, it’s (“he’s” I think is better) called Benito. He’s a very hyperactive cat; he goes running all the time, scratching and biting all things that are on its way. Those who live with him, usually we get angry with him for it. But occasionally Benito is affectionate and calm, and that's when we return to love him.

I live in my apartment since six months, so I’ve not had time to know if there are organizations that support animal rights, but I hope these institutions exists. I would like to help and cooperate.

I really don’t know a lot of endangered species in my country, I only know that “Pudú” it’s.

I love animals, but I can’t deny that I’m agree with the use of animals for medical research, I think it’s necessary for new discoveries, I really would like that scientist create a different way to experience, but while this doesn’t happen I don’t think it's good to stay stagnant, because many times these new discoveries can be useful not only for humans but also for the animals themselves, for example we can know more about its nature and behavior.

If I were an animal I would like to be a cat, because I think this animal has a lot of attitude and character, but also it’s very gentle and concerned for its owner.

Hahaha, if animals could make a documentary movie about humans, I think they would say that we’ve not had enough respect and affection to them, but I think they end up saying that they’ll always be there for support us.

Environment

Hi Bloggers!

Days ago, I watched a propaganda on television about light saving. It was curious because it was not aimed at protecting the environment, but to save the money of all the people. And then, I realized that maybe it was the only way to motivate people to save, because there’s no real awareness about the environment care. I think this education should begin at home, in our own families, and then at school. I think they should do more activities focused on learning of good practices with nature.

 

However, I must be honest and say that I do’nt do a lot of things for environment care. I just recycle supermarket bags and avoid to wast water while I wash. Many times I prefer to walk, but most the times I travel by Transantiago. In this situation, we are tight, so I guess contamination is minimizing, even a little. Except that, I do nothing to protect the environment, however I would like to have a garden and recycling bins for different materials, when I have my own home.

I think in our society is missing, along with awareness, more places to recycle, for example special tash can, incentives for who care for the water, who plant trees in their yards, etc.

However, I think companies must manufacture in a sustainable way, that recycling is not the only way to help, that care starts before.

Music in my life :)

Hi bloggers! When I listen music I inmediatly feel the desire to dance, I really love music, dancing and singing!

Music is very important in my life; always when I’m sad o tired I start to listen music, and it always makes me happy. I really think that rhythm goes into our bodies and then, it connects with the beating of our hearts.
I always listen rock from the eighties, but mainly Soda Stereo. I really enjoy to listen Gustavo Cerati’s voice, the look of the members band. I think it is the most important rock band in spanish. They represent a generation that lived oppressed but looked for fun.

However, I prefer Gustavo Cerati as soloist, he’s my favorite singer. I love him because of his voice, face, style, etc. He has known to venture into many musical styles, and always he does it right. I love him because his music is so good, but also his lyrics.

But, the kinds of music that I really dislike are bachata and pop. I think they are very monotonous, there’s not a use of intruments, only there are computational melodies. They are too basic in musical and also in poetry.

Anyway, I think the world would be a routine, so sad and boring without music. I think music is necessary for having identity and individuality. Peolple and culture have reflected on the music a lot about their values, their history and their differentiation from other cultures. I they continue do it.

If you come to study Psychology...

Hi bloggers! Today I found an interesting text that summarizes much of our future work as psychologists, and what we can hope for studying it.

The text is an University guide, about what will you learn, what will you gain and what job can you get if you come to study Psychology.

The text begins saying what will you learn in the first year of University: a general basis of Psychology, which contains modules about social psychology of individuals and groups. The text also claims that during that time, you’ll have the opportunity to work with a psychologist for a year, and joint work with other disciplines such as biology or journalism.

All this study will give you a lot of knowledge, critical thinking, and skills to investigate, solve problems and interpret data properly. The text also mentions that you should have, at least, one own research in the last year.

With all this, the text states that if you opt for this career you’ll have a series of options to work. You can become a clinical, forensic, educational psychologist, etc., depending on your own interests.

The text ends saying that if you’ve the ability to identify and assess patterns of behavior, to apply different perspectives to psychological problems and to joint work your CV will look good.
