My future job

Hello everyone, today I will to talk about my future work or more specifically I will to talk about what I want for my future. At school, when I thought I wanted to study, I liked two areas: social sciences or humanities and music. Since my adolescence I play trumpet and I`m interested in the music in general. I played in the school orchestra´s and there the musical formation was classic, then I was recommended postulate to conservatory, but I not was selected. It is why I decided to look into other careers because I thought it was the only way to study music at the conservatory.

The psychology seemed to me interesting to be among health and social sciences. Also, the psychology considers the question to the human condition. Finally, I study psychology because I like the clinic and some social aspects. But, two years ago I the musical study however to other way, now it is with private lessons and focused on popular music. I would like to work in the two things, but first continue studying music. Then, I intend work part-time in the public health while I study. Later on, I would like work as a musician and clinical psychologist. I think that is possible because they are two complementary activities and also, in both can work part time. Regards!

Post 4: The bomb

Hello classmates, today I will talk about the strange blast the last Monday in the subway station. But, I will be focused in the use which the mass media it made about the news. Beyond that the law is looking for the guilty, is interesting see as the media use this news for cause terror. In my personal opinión, the importance it is atributed about the bomb it relates to the new reforms being made in security and intelligence. I think if people are afraid, also they demand more security and control, allowing in this way, for example, more the police intervention. This week, in the subway, there were at least two policemen at each station, this seems curious in relationship with the recent protests by increases in the price of public transport.

Moreover, I think that is not important the blast or the bomb by itself, because also could be  any other thing, as the mapuches or students, I think that the problem is the the control on the population, using public safety as an argument. However, the question is, for me, Why the interest in public security and not by the conditions of life the people? Or, why the interest by the “terorist” and not by the drug trafficking?

POST 1 >> A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT

Hello classmates. Today I going to talk about the country I´d like to visit. I´m interested in East Europe, especially Croatia. I think Croatia is important for my personal history because my grandfather was born there. Even if I didn´t know my grandfather (because he died when my mother was a baby) I think I can know more about him visiting his country. Also, I like this country because of their dance and music, especially traditional gypsy folk. Moreover, I think that recently east Europe’s history is very interesting because of their conflicts and wars. I would like visit Croatia in a touristic way, meet the island where my grandfather lived and also visit all Balkan Peninsula. It would be nice to meet some familiar or any of my grandfather´s old friends that could talk me about him and his life in Croatia. It would be important for me recover that part of my family history. Have a nice week, bye bye. 

Post 2: Music

Hello classmates! Today I talk about the music that I like listen. I like all the music in general, but I prefer to the instrumental music, as the jazz or ska. I think that like the instrumental music because I'm musician, more specifically I play the trumpet. Then, I like the music that have funny brass, for example the latin music as the salsa or boleros, and also the black music, funk, afrobeat, reggae. Also, I like the famous trumpeters that play jazz. I think that's what I like is the jazz, in particular the jazz of the 50 or 60, as the Charlie Parker, Miles Davis or Clifford Brown. But, I think that is amazing the jazz bebop and hardbop that played Clifford Brown. Unfortunately, Clifford died too young, but his music influenced to the new jazz generations. He is my favourite trumpet player and his music. I am fascinates by his versatility, his solo can is fast and stridents, but also his sound can is slight and deep. I recommend this great song by Clifford Brown:

Post 10: Blogging Experience.

Hello, today I will talk about my experience written on this blog. In general I liked the experience because I have many difficult to write in English so these kinds of activities help me a lot for learning this language.  Also, I could talk about many topics that I'm interested as psychoanalysis, jazz, literature and culture in general. Moreover, I could know the preferences of my partners of my class, their topics were more interesting for me because they studied a different career. Therefore that is how I learned about some artists and authors related with artistic theory. The experience of write in a blog is very interesting and I think in continue with this. Also, It´s funny that I can express my personal opinion about some topics because in general, at university, the essays are very academics. The other hand, blogs allows the use of pictures or other audiovisual material, making blogs more attractive in esthetics terms. Finally, I think that should have been more feedback about our publications, specifically, in our way to write for we could progress. In conclusion I liked the experience of blogging, especially for the topics that the we talked in our different blogs and everything that I learned in English and other stuff. Goodbye and farewell.

Post 8: A career-related article / An expert in your field

In the actually some persons think that psychoanalysis isn´t important for psychology. The american psychology since the 40s has proposed a science of behavior, in this time has been devoted to neuroscience or the cognitivism. Meanwhile in Europe the social constructionism has interesting ideas. But none of these theories has been able to relate the individual and culture satisfactorily. Therefore it is that I think has importance Freud and the psychoanalysis. Specifically, I will talk about an essay written before his death, called "El Malestar en la cultura" of 1938. The relevance this article is how proposes a theory about the culture based in the human suffering. In the general terms, Freud talks about impossibility of the society for deliver happiness for the persons. Rather, the life in society has a cost and it is repress the desires more primitive. Freud thinks that the happiness is a moment but not a permanent state. But this not means that we are destined to suffering, rather it is an attempt to think realistically society. In actuality, the company “Coca Cola” has an institute of happiness, I ask myself: what do you want with that? Why the purpose of life would be "happy”? The article "El malestar en la cultura" is one of the few in the psychology that proposes a different opinion about the humanity and your future. Regards

Post 9 : Your favourite writer

I don´t have a favourite writer but I like Roberto Bolaño. The first book Bolaño´s I read was "Putas Asesinas", at once I liked by their style. All time Roberto Bolaño invites to discover a mystery, do not always know what the mystery, but there is always something. I read all books of short story and then I read some novels. Also I like Roberto Bolaño by the way he writes about different cultures, countries and how they relate. In the summer I travelled to Argentina and I visited an exhibition about Roberto Bolaño. In the exhibition there were personal items, manuscripts and other items. Also, the exhibition was structured how an investigation. For this I think that for to read the Bolaño´s books is necessary become a "wild detective”. Maybe for this himself talk about his book´s was “police novels” but had not necessarily cops and crimes. The funny in the Bolaño´s books is “investigate” the story line that united whole. In my personal opinion I find interesting discover the “secret crime” that not ever is a crime but can't tell. Also is interesting the way in that in the short story, Bolaño created a tense atmosphere where finally nothing happens. I recommend you read the first story of the book "Putas Asesinas", is called "El ojo silva". Regards.
