" Do schools kills creativity?"

Hi classmates! Today I´m going to talk about a conference that made Sir Ted Robinson about the actual educational system and how it kills creativity of child.
If you ask me, I think that he propose it's a very interesting point of view and I have to say I agree totally with him.
I think the answer for the question of the title that I put up is yes, schools kills creativity of young people. Because it short wings of imagination.
By one hand, it despises all arts, putting them at the bottom of the list of subject to learn and only considers like it worth music and visual arts aside subject like dance and theather among others. And in the other hand, if a child have talent for one of this subject they sent him to a doctor as it should have a disease, because he/she doesn't acts "normally".
So , I think we should talk more about this topics because it concerned to our futur and more important at the future of the next generations.

My Blog's Experience

Hi classmates!
Today I`m going to talk about how was my experience writing in this blog.

Well , I have to said that has been an interesting experience because it was a good experience in the sense it allowed me to meet better or even only meet my classmates.

On the other hand , it was very tiring having to write every week in one block about a subject that I don't have thinking before. So, sometimes, I have to improvised about how and what wrote. I think , if I can make a suggestion, maybe the blog session it's too late, so it will be bettre to make it earlier because at this hours of the day we are very tired and only in the beginning ( because it's the first part of the term) we have a lot of energy at this hour, but now we are a little bit stress.

The subject that I like the most was “what makes me tick” because it was very fun to know that aspect of my partners. And the subject that I most dislike was “the best in my area” , because like I am only in the first year I don’t have idea who is it!

In summery, if I have to asses the situation and put it in a balance, I think it was most a good experience because it enabled to me to learn how write in english and at the end I think it's not so hard as I though as I start. Also I think it-s a very interactive way to learn to write and for loose the fear of do it, because, if I can everyone can! Finally, it was very usefull the correction that make the teacher and my classmates because it allows me improve my little skills in english gramar and sintaxis.

My Ideal Work

Hi Classmates!
Today I'm going to talk about how would it be my ideal job. If you ask me , I think my ideal work have to have some of this characteristics (preferably all).

First of all, my timetable has to be very flexible, preferably not working too early in the morning because I hate to wake me up early, so my ideal schedule have to start at 10 am. Also, my work have to fill my basic need, in terms of my futur salary. I want to live good , not with a lot of luxuries, but live comfortably. Also, I want to have money to eat well , and have some extra money for buy books.

In the other hand, I want to work above all things in investigation, specially at the university. So after I finish my PhD I want to came back and work here as researcher and teaching just like my aunt do and I want a job who demand me be all the time thinking and exploring. In addition I want a work that is in contact with people and not enclased in an office. Finally I want to do a lot of fielwork.

I thing it's very ideal my "ideal work" but nothing is impossible ( right?)
Well, that's all for now!
See you in class!

What makes me tick


Hi classmetes today i'm going to talk about something that makes me thick and I really like which is dancing Flamenco. First, I started when I was 13 years old, but no dancing flamenco itself, it was most like spanish dance which is the regional dances of Spain like sevillanas etc.... Then I started dancing flamenco itself, at 16 years old and now I do it at the university with the teacher Vicente Canales ( a short notice if someone is interested in going )

Despite the fact that I don't like to do any thing that involving physical exercise, I really like dancing this rate because it make me releases energy and destressed me. Also, I like it too, because the music that use and the dance have a lot of character and feelings. So I try not missing any class despite it's in launch time and I have other classes later.
That's all for today!
See you in class!
P.D: The images up is of a famous flamenco dancer called Eva Yerbabuena.

My favorite Subject

Hi classmates! Today I would talk about my favorite subject in my career ( Anthropology)wich is philosophy with the teacher Alberto Mayol. I like it very much because although the class is called philosophy of social science rather, it should be called epistemology (because that's what he really teach).In this class, we saw how differents kinds of knowledge is validated throught the history of philosophy. I always like philosophy and a found this branch of it very interesting. This semester I learning about Feyerabend and his theory of "fully served" and about the linguistic turn proposed by Wittgenstein. I also like this class, because the teacher is very funny so it's not boring to go. In summary, I think this subject in philosophy is very interesting and useful in my professionaly formation and it's a subject consistent with my interests.
That's all for now!
See you in class!
