How Green are you?


Well, this time I will talk about the environment and about habits that people have.
In our world, there are many habits, products and industries that make the world a place with pollution and a place with many dangers to animals and people. It is because we aren`t interesting about our world, our animals and our environment.
If we talk about the school, we can say that there aren’t many teachers that teach to student about these things, and is very difficult to found a place where all people (teachers and student) are interesting in the environment.
In my opinion, when I think in recycling, I can say that it is a very good and attractive habit, because it is a way to take care to environment and one way to save materials and products (that some people think these products are out of order) that we will use to make other new things. If we haven`t incorporated these habits in our practices, our world will be a dump, with garbage and garbage.
I will be honest, if you ask me if I have incorporated recycling in my habits, I must say no. I must say that I haven`t many information about these things, because I don’t look for information. In spite of this, I think that is very important take care with our things and our world. I must considerate recycling habits like an important option to help myself.
Other thing that we can use to help to take care with the environment is the bike and our legs. When we want go to some place, and it isn`t far away, we can use the bike. These habits are very good to our health and to environment develop. In spite of this, I can use a bike, because I haven`t one.
I thing that are very important eco–organizations in our society, because this organizations can make a work that nobody want to do. Is because this that I think that we need this organizations to make Santiago a beautiful city.

high school A 44 (to rocío)



My experience in high school education is very special to me, because I can to remember nice things that I lived in there. I arrived to Carmela Carvajal high school in 2003, when I was thirteen years old. In this place I had different subjects, like mathematics, English, history, music, physical education, biology, etc. In the school there is one teacher to each subject, and they were very efficient to their job. Teachers are characters very important to my education, because they were always worried persons.
On the other hand, we have technology, in each classroom there is a television and a DVD. I had an English laboratory and I was very taken with this classroom, because each student had headphones, one computer and a microphone. These things we used in English class, and when teacher ask to somebody, this person could answer the teacher question with the microphone.
If we talk about the level of education I received in high school, I thing that it was very important to my decisions in life, in the career that I chose and in myself. Is because the education that I received in this school that I am… like I am. On the other hand, I think that this school helped to me, when the time of PSU is arrived.
If you ask to me about one idea to my authorities to improve the educational system, I think that they must to forget the money and they must think in the education to people, in a good education, with quality. When people said that poor persons are lazybones, I think that it is not true. On one hand, we need responsibility of student, but in spite of this we need a free education, to rich and poor people.

Parents adopting more open attitude to alcohol, drugs and sex...summary.


http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/oct/05/parents-open-alcohol-drugs-sex

In this article, we can see that some British parents were relaxed for their children experiment with drugs, alcohol and sex. Some sociology studies like surveys revealed that some parents were happy for their children experiment with these things because they hope to give their kids the freedoms they did not have.
Some studies also revealed that “One-third of parents – rising to half of those in London – said they were happy for their children to experiment with cannabis. A similar proportion admitted they were relaxed about all drug-taking, regarding it as an inevitable part of growing up.” These results revealed that parents are in other world...a new world.
A professor of sociology at the University of Kent said: "Parents understand that society has changed and that it is not the end of the world if their teenager experiments with alcohol or has sex”. In this context, we can see an important change in mind of our society, and it is an important matter to sociologist and social anthropologist, because some social and cultural factors are to influence in this changes and they are important to make parents with “open-mind”
Other thing important in this article is the opinion about the homosexuality, because this study revealed that some mothers would have no problem if their child was gay. In spite of this, homosexuality is a problem to many British parents.
The study revealed too that statistics about fathers and mothers opinion are different. We can say that the mother opinion and the father opinion, are different about drugs, alcohol and sex, but it isn’t a problem to say that our society was changed.
