My indignation

Chile is a very retrograde country. It is one of the few countries where abortion is penalized along with Nicaragua, El Salvador, Malta and the Vatican, very religious countries. Considering that Chile is a supposedly secular country, it makes me furious that the rights of women continue to be violated by courageous conflicts with the Catholic Church.

Currently in Chile, a bill is being drafted to decriminalize abortion in three causes: the risk of death of the mother, the infeasibility of crime and rape. These three causes represent a little advance, however, the law condition the freedom of women only in this three cases, not being able to be free in right, dignity and decision in other cases that do not want to continue an unwanted pregnancy.

I am indignant that Chile is a country so macho and retrograde and the fact that the world is a place where being a woman is a punishment, where you can not go out without fear, where abortion is bad and illegal but a violation is socially justified by the dress of the victim.

I am indignant that many men believe that only rape and femicide are machismo and do not understand that to call a female "bitch" is a way to be agressive too. This makes them minimize their qualities and abilities only for being a woman. I am indignant at the machismo and I am indignant to be surrounded by male classmates who do not assume it.

    I am also indignant that the rights of women are not respected in this society

    I'm with you on this. It seems to me very serious that as a country we can not really advance on such an important issue as abortion.

My favorite technological object is my box of memories because it is able to gather experiences, good and bad moments in one place.  I can not say that I use it frequently because it is not functional in my daily life, but when I want to remember people or facts I turn to it. I bought it a few years ago and previously kept my memories in a shoebox. I like this box because it goes with the style of my room and can save all things of sentimental value.  In a disaster, like a fire, my box of memories would be the first thing I would try to save. My life without it would be very sad, because I value much the symbolic elements and in it I have memories of many years, even decades. I keep things that remind me of my family, my school days and people who are no longer that I would not want to lose memories of.

Evaluation of Blog Experience

It has always been a trouble for me to understand the english language. The dedication to english was poor in my school even tough they promised to be a bilingual institution. My teacher never had patience and being in her classes was a real torture. For 14 years, English has been my frustration. My experience with blogs has been quite nice, some topics are very interesting and others are not so much. I liked the methodology and I think it is a good place to get to know each other better and learn at the same time. It is very entertaining and exciting to write about the topics we like and write them in English. Is a very big challenge. I think my writing skills have improved a lot, because those features are improved with daily practice, which is why I consider blogs to be a good way to practice writing in English. In the future I would like to include more free topics blogs, because it is more entertaining to write about what one likes and not about pre-established topi...

A Subject You've Enjoyed.

My favorite subject of this semester is Critical Theory, is a very theoretical branch where the society and its hierarchical structures are analyzed. This subject is based on Marxist theories and for this reason we have to read authors like Antonio Gramsci, Karl Marx, Friedrich Engel, Adorno and Horkheimer.  The classes are held every Friday afternoon by teacher Pierina Ferretti, in these classes the teacher exposes and explains the ideas of the authors studied and at the end every topic carries out an evaluation. In all these classes the requested texts are analyzed and topics such as cultural industry, power, the strength of ideas, hegemony and art are addressed.  In addition to the main class we have back up classes, made by the assistant teacher Diego Rivera. He's a sociology student at the Catholic University and in his classes we do written works where we must apply the contents seen with the teacher.  This subject is my favorite because it really does not se...
