Chile's bicentennial year

This year is special for our country Chile because we celebrate 200 years the independence and republican country.
The last September 18th we commemorated an important landmark of our history: the beginning of the process of independence by means of the formation of the First Cabinet Meeting.
Chile's bicentennial year is a reason to celebrate and reflect about whom Chilean people are? and What the progresses that we have had as nation are?

To beginning, I will give you some information about our nation. Chile has more 17.000.000 habitants that are distributed in 15 regions along of the territory.
We have along the country different ethnic groups that increase the diversity of our people and the habits.
All this allow us to show to the world the great variety and diversity of foods, traditions and other things that characterize the different areas of our country.
With this we can show an image that whom the Chilean people are and since this we can ask us how the foreigners see us?
Chilean people consider that they are supportive, happy and hard-working.
The negative aspects are the unpunctuality and some are liars.
The foreigners think that the Chilean people are cheerful, attentive and that we have a big fortitude to confront the different situation and problems as the earthquake that affected the last 27th february or the heroic story of 33 trapped miners in The Mine San José.

For other hand, we can check the advances in the different areas as health and economy and the new challenges in the future.
In the health we have had good progresses because in 2005 the president of Chile Michelle Bachelet announced the creation of a plan called AUGE that covered the treatment of 69 pathologies. This plan is a public healthy regulations that guarantee the access to promotion, protection and recuperation of the health.
In the economy Chile has explanded its boundary to other country in differents continents as Europe or Asia where has signed differents trades agreements.
In addition Chile has increased its incomes through the mining industry or exportations of fruits and wine.

Even we have new challenges and goal in all the areas for to be a good country.

Movies

Hello everybody! Today I’m going to talk about a topic that for some people is very interesting and fascinating; even there are some people that are fanatical: this is “The Films”.

Who have not seen a film? I think that a little of people can answer no to this questions.
For me the films are a form to relax me and have a good moment with my friends or family. All depend to the kind of the movie. My kinds of films that I like are the comedy and the action movies. In some opportunities I like to watch drama or children’s films.

In the last period I have not very time to go cinema, but I would like to watch some movies that are in hoarding in this moment as “All a labor” or “Vampires suck”. I believe that when I finish the university I will go to the cinema.

One of the movies that I liked was “The Hangover” by Todd Phillips. Is a comedy about a stag party that finish very, very bad. Two days ago of the wedding, Doug, their best friends Phil y Stu and his future brother in law Alan go to The Vegas by car to celebrate his stag party unforgettablely. But when they wake to the next day, with a infernal headache, they don’t remember nothing. The luxurious room in the hotel where they were staying is totally destroyed it and the fiancé is missing. They must reconstruct the last night and discover in the mess that they're involved.

Myths of the brain

Hello everybody! Today I am going to talk about the myths in relation to the brain.

In some opportunities we have listed for example that we use only the 10% of our brain when we do an activity.
Well through this blog I will try to give an answer.

In my opinion I think that this myth is false because when we do something we use differents organs. Never we utilize an organ to do something. An example for this situation is when we drive a car. We need the vision, the movements in ours arms and legs, the coordination; we must to pay attention and react before an unforeseen.
For this reason I believe that we can not use only the 10% when we do differents activities.
In the class with the Dr. Maldonado he said that this myth was false and the argument that he used to justify it was by means of imagens of computerised tomography or scanners. This imagens showed that in differents situation the brain activate differents areas. For example the occipital side is the region for the vision or the temporal side is the region for the language. For that reason we use more of the 10% all the time.
Even while we sleep our brain is active in some region.

Therefore it is very important that we take care our brain because is one of the fundamental organs to trigger the differents processes, movements and functions in all the systems of our body.
