Animal Rights

Pet`s? No thanks. I really I don`t consider my self like an animal lover. I certainly don't dislike animals. It's just that I have no desire to own one myself. I mind I like animals, I just don't love animals. It's not like I've never had a pet. I know how it is to live with one, in fact in all my childhood I lived with more than one pet, but the only one that was really mine was a turtle, but I never liked to much the idea that the turtle depend of me.

Although I am not an animal lover, I hate to see animals suffering, and I really respect animal right groups, even I don`t know the name of any groups like this, I know there are a lot in my country.

I also hate that some companies use animals for medical research to try cosmetics, because I believe animal have the same capacity of human to feel pain. Also I never go to zoo, because I don’t like see animals keep in cages.

Well, I think if I could be an animal I choose to be a horse, of course a free-horse, because I love them, when I think in horses I think in freedom, beauty and strength.

If animals could make a documentary movie about humans, I think they will show all the human misery, the wars and poverty. And they would say: “humans are very strange species, because they have conscience, but they don`t know how to use it”

How Green I am ?

Protect the environment is everybody`s matter. Even I don`t like to say this, I`m not a person who loking after the environment, at list not as well like I must to. Of course I have some practices to save energy or something like that, so I think I`m a green-in-between.

I belive you can learn about enviromentally friendly practice by diferent ways if you are interested in this, for example yo can learn about it by reading diferent blogs or by waching programs about enviromentally friendly practice, also you can learn about it just talking to people who are interested to lokking after the enviromenment.

Well, as I wrote before I have some practice to lokking after the enviroment, for example I always turn of the light when I`m not in my room or anywhere in the house and even when I have a car I try not to use it if I can use alternative transports like public transport or bicycle, also I reuse paper. But I have to admit Im not incorported recycling into my habits, but I hope incorported it into my habits soon.

Even the fact I have never joined any eco-organisations, I donate to green peace every month.

I think Santiago definitely isn`t a city of people who care of the enviroment, perhaps becouse as society we have so many problems that in this moment looking after the enviroment is not our priority.

Bye, I hope you enjoy reading my blog!!!

MUSIC

The life without Music is unthinkable. I belive that is important to my live because it makes things better when things aren’t going right in the world. Depending on the moment , music make me feel sad, happy, excited or relax.

I listen many types of music, and honestly I couldn`t chose just one as the best, but I could surely mencion some types of music I don`t enjoy like tecno and heavy metal.

In my life I have been in a lot of concerts, the most significant have been Radiohead concert, and Spinetta concert, because there are some of my favorite bands. Actually I think I have all their discography in Cds.

The firts song that I learned to play in guitar was Creep of Radiohead, I`m not really good playing guitar, but I enyoy a lot when I play that song.

So, like I said before I`m not really good at playingthat is guitar or any instruments, but I think I sing well, at list that`s what my friends say when we have played Karaoke or some play like that.

Finally I think music moves everyone, and without it, life would be pointless. I believe music connect people all around the world because in music the language is not important to understand the esencial of the song, so I think music is a very important part in the evolution of the person.

Technology addiction

I believe that everyone think that technology can make your life easier, but no everyone notes that also tachnology can be a distraction o worst an adiction. And as some of you know, the attention and addiction are very important subjects inside Psychology.

Lucy Tobin, wrote an article about this, and was published in “the guardian”. This article is about how technology can be an extreme distraction to do yours homework or work.

In the article, yo can find an experiment made by Weger that corroborates the time you spent doing a eassy task if you are also aware to your phone, or chat or facebook. This study also shows that this behavavior leads you to the procrastination, because, for example, if you are doing a homework in your netbook and also you are chatting, you probably lost more time and you will end doing the task for last minute.
The experiment made by Weger research is important because our modern working environment is full of tempting – and sometimes not so tempting – sources of interruptions. So you hace to control your self, and do some exercise, proposed in the article, to help yo concentred.

Also, Lucy said that phones or different technology are not all bad, just have a mixed effect. The important, she claims, is you can`t allow become depedent, becouse “they will hount you”
