Participation and bad politics

 So here we are, Politics. 

What do you think when you say Politics? Probably you think in corruption, in dumb fights between politicians, people fights in social media, so the word Politics and Politician has a large negative charge for some persons. And that its a big problem, because when you heard about vote and campaigns, you probably skip the conversation, you don`t see the Tv for a while, and maybe its no your situation, but its the situation of many people, in this country usually its the people of low resources or middle class. Come here look the statistics with me.


there is the statistics about participation in the 2016 municipal elections and the problem is right there. If you want see more information here you could see the entire paper.

Now this is old study, but it was a reality few years ago, maybe people think, wow! thats change with plebiscite but we would see in this election. This problem is a circle, cause many people don´t vote because the politics in this country are so bad and many politicians are just people with money, but if you want change that you need to vote. Is hard talk about that, is hard how this specific topic polarize people so much, is hard how in some way always its about money cause money is power. And maybe we need to ask ourselves if chilean democracy serves, i heard this situation to much, we go to the vote and we see our candidates and every single person in that list is bad, is a bad person or is a businessman or is radical and doesn´t represent you any of them, what do you do? You vote null? No, because you will help the person with the most votes. Maybe you have to vote for the least bad even if it does not represent you, so this last sentence it is the option that many people choose, cause you don´t choose who is on that list. Finally we have a problem of misinformation, many people don´t have resources or maybe don´t like search information about that or they think it is useless because it is not important or nothing will change. Now this is my contribution cause you can talk about this but you need do something. This is a guide to know everything about your candidates regarding your commune or district

    I agree with you and I was very happy that you spoke about the importance of informed voting and obviously the importance of exercising the right to vote since many times it is something that we overlook.

    Hello! I find it interesting that you have put statistics. I also liked that you spoke about misinformation, it is something very common in our country. I hope that reality changes.

primary school was kinda awkward

Image
 When I was in primary school like in the first year of school, the first day of class. Every kid was crying and everything. Me, well , I fell asleep the whole class. My teacher woke up and she told me: Look this sleeping beauty right there, or something like that, I was a little boy I don't remember everything. My sleep problem chased me the entire year and the teacher talk with my mom and the school give me a therapist cause I have sleep problems and hyperactivity LOL. The following year I have problems with the food of the school. So...  CONTEXT: In my school the food was free, like breakfast and lunch was free for real, ok that is good, It is perfect but the little kids are forced to eat the breakfast and lunch, If the food didn't liked you are f****. So I hate stew and every Wednesday the school have stew for lunch, and the first time I try the food I run to the bathroom and I puke.  You are right  I puke every Wednesday for maybe 3 month, sometimes in the same ...

My feelings about English

Image
Wellcome to the internet have a look arround, Hi my dear citizens here we are. So... It is nice the english language, i mean i like it. THE END  My relationship with english is good, I like see the movies in that language. I prefer english over spanish, cause it is a worldwide language, and you able to know and see many perspectives about every single topic, and be serious sounds pretty well, so obviusly I like the music in english over the music on other language. Here is a issue, I understand properly the language, but I don´t speak well and that it is very sad, my dear citizens. So english is my toxic relationship I love it, but he don´t . My history with english is pretty basic, I going to a nice school where every year I have english in my class, I have a nice teacher with many eagerness and I did pretty good, It was one of my favourites topics in school. I think this is all, I can´t talk more about this. Now it´s time to say goodbye. Goodbye, my dear citizens

A little bit of this, a little bit of that

  I am studying cinema, so that gives a lot of job opportunities and at the same time a lot unemployment, anxiety, sadness, death.  *sounds a terror music from a Hitchcock movie*  In my previous blogs I mentioned this, but I love using the camera, I love physics and I like the photography. Obviously when I will try to find a job a request for a job in the camera deparment, I dont really care about what position in the deparment but I appreciate very much touching the camera or the lights.  With this background for me It is really easy to think in a future job with my requirements in a movie production, in  publicity or whatever when they need a person who knows about cameras, lens, lights, camera movements, etc etc etc. My perfect job will be a job where I find the satisfaction produced by cinema right now. I´m not worried about what kind of films will make in the future because I love cinema so any movie is fine. I´m worried about salary, cause if I work in art...
