POST 10: EVALUATION OF YOUR BLOG EXPERIENCE

My experience doing weekly blogs has been very good because I have been quite surprised by my creative writing abilities, like those of my colleagues, and this is what I like about the blogs, the great ideas that I can, and we have been able to reach to have to then add into our websites, with funny stories, sad, reflective etc, which was nice to get to read every Monday, to make comments (although a little stereotyped), which by the way i always read and tried to answer. It is for this last that the "concept" behind the blogs was quite "cute" for the highly positive comments that we all received from each other.

I had never written post in English before, but it seems to me something very creative to put into practice our skills, it is a good way to teach English, so that besides learning about this language we can interact with each other in a way closer to the current reality , although to make it more realistic I would allow all kinds of comments on blogs, of those that one does with friends, if you know what I mean 馃槈



This will be my last blog, and, although it is not the best I have done, I see it with a lot of affection since it is the last time that I will express myself through this platform. Goodbye audience 馃槉

POST 9: Themed Post

My favorite Book

My favorite book it’s the novel of George Orwell entitled “1984” and I talk to you about this book whit the less quantity of spoilers.
This book is based on a totalitarian government in which the state has achieved total control over the individuals that constitute it, which punishes the dissidents of act, but even of thought (“crimental”). The control over the individuals is such that the members of the party (citizens of this totalitarian government) lose the capacity of their own thought, for which the first manifestation of submission is the compliance of their three great slogans: "War is peace, Freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength.” The government is constituted by ministries, which are: the Ministry of Truth (it is responsible for manipulating the information to its benefit in order to manipulate the minds of citizens); the Ministry of Abundance (manages the increasingly scarce food and raw material resources); the Ministry of Peace (is in charge of matters of war); and the Ministry of Love (he is in charge of exercising physical and mental coercion on the dissident population). If you do not worship the system, you will be tortured to worship him and then kill you. In this sense, the novel is based on a government in which its individuals lack thought, judgment and, therefore, action.

A SUBJECT YOU ENJOY STUDYING THIS SEMESTRE

My favorite class of this semester is Personality Psychology, which is taught by Professors Danilo Sanhueza 脫rdenes and Uwe Kramp Denegri. This class has as a general objective  knowing the most relevant concepts and theories in the study of the human personality in relation to their respective historical, cultural and epistemological contexts, for which their main contents are to understand the associated historical, scientific and sociocultural context to reflection and modern research on human personality. identify the central concepts that explain the formation and functioning of the personality, recognize the main contributions of the different schools of psychology to the study of personality, identify criteria and means of evaluation in the area of ​​personality and develop a critical reflection on the notion of personality, its classifications and theories.

I like this class because I had always wanted to understand what makes up the personality of a person, understood as the set of characteristics that are specific to different individuals, which allow to describe, categorize, diagnose and eventually modify. In this sense, I like the space that this class gives to the development of critical reflection, which is something that we put (me including) in practice each class.

My favorite website related to psychology

My favorite website related to psychology (my career) is: https://evolucionyneurociencias.blogspot.cl/
This is a website that is a blog like this, and talks about how our psyche works,  in different posts arranged in chronological order.
I visited this website very often before going to university when I dreamed of studying psychology because I was very interested in the field. Currently, after entering to study this career, I do not visit this site very often because the academic load does not give me much free time, but I visit it every time I remember it and I have time (approximately once a month).
I like this website because in psychology not everything is about perception and mental representations as abstract phenomena or as something that happens independently of our flesh and our nerves, and in this sense "Evolution and Neurosciences" provides interesting readings to know more about the machine that moves our ideas and emotions: the brain (and, by extension, our entire body), what has attracted my attention since I was little, motivating me finally to opt for this career.

Free Post 2: Something to say...

To have something to say, something to tell, a repressed experience, that you have kept for fear, fear or shame, something that you would want to release, something like pain, a wound stored deep inside your being. That's how I felt.
More than your treachery's and aggressions, I was hurt by what you made me believe, that no one would listen to me, you made me believe that heaven would not listen if I screamed in silence.
Shame and self-pity, some of the reasons I suffered in silence ... goes beyond not wanting to betray you, has to do with me, a constant struggle with myself, a struggle I did not want to externalize, I did not want to show. Put a breastplate for the rest, not see how fragile you can be, how weak the other gives you, but especially how little you value yourself to stay there.

Can you get out of there? Yes you can ... but to overcome you must free, open to the outside your greatest pains, like the one you - or rather myself - made me live.

This picture it was took in a morning of January in 1996; this artist was circulating with his car when he simply saw the image he had been looking for a few months. The land is a vineyard in reality, but a parasite of the vine called “phylloxera” forced to remove the plants and to plant grass for a time to recover the land.

Free Post 1

Emotional blackmail is the basis of many toxic relationships wherein the blackmailer constantly manipulates the will of others by provoking negative feelings so that satisfy their desires. 
Currently it is especially important to be aware of these toxic dynamics so as not to reach situations of abuse expressed in phrases such as "I am aggressive because you provoke me" or "I have been unfaithful because you do not give me enough."

In practice, we all resort to some kind of emotional blackmail, but not all degrees of blackmail are the same. Some are innocent; However, others are so twisted that they may end up psychologically destroying the other person. 


In emotional blackmail the manipulation works for making others feel bad. Generating, Fear of the other's anger, Blame for making "unhappy" the other, Low self-esteem, Dependence, insecurity. In a toxic relationship that does no good to anyone.

MY FAVOURITE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY

My favourite piece of techonology are the earbuds or also called headphones. These are a pair of small loudspeakers united by a cable that allows you to listen to music or any kind of audio. To use this device I just need to conect it to a phone, to a computer or to any music reproductor and put each piece in my ears. I got mine when I bought my cellphone about six months ago. I use them almost every day, when I’m in the subway on my way to the campus. I like my earbuds very much beacause I can listen to music and avoid to think about my thoughts. I don’t know how could I live without them. I think that time would pass slower and everything would be boring.

Why I did choose study Psychology?

Hi everyone, today I going to tell you about why I did choose study Psychology, among other reasons because I was good read books (that I know I will have to read a lot) about everything, and, since that I’m 15 years my favorite class are philosophy and I feel so interested in science and everything about the human mind, that made me finely decide study psychology. The job I want to have is like an investigator of the human conduct and mind, and make good investigations for improve the consciousness about psychology.
Actually, in the university, I like Faculty of Social Sciences, because I feel so comfortable and I think that it is a good atmosphere to share, it’s for this that I have a good experience at the university, and also because I like the plurality of this campus.
When I was a child I dream to be an attorney because I liked to discuss (even today) and win in this. The last year my other option to study is computer science but that are my second option.
