English Language Challenges

Well, it has been a crazy year, with a lot of things happen in my life and studies. Being able to describe all this in a blog is even a success for me. I have to admit that when a start here I saw as an easy subject to do, but with the pass of the sessions, it becomes more challenging.

I'm not a person that uses a lot the English learnings of this class, most of the time I only speak English when I sing a song. But, I listened to a lot of English on Youtube or Netflix, so I always have to understand it. For that, I'm very looking forward to using it more in the future in talking to others

About the blogs I have to admit that for me they are a hate-love experience, in one hand, they improved my writing skills to a new level now having the chance to do it more faster and with a more vocabulary. but, on the other hand, I just can't keep the rhythm of delivering every blog on time, making me in times really hate this blogs.

Finally, What I can say about this subject is that because of the practice I was able to remember most of the contents that I learned in school. But, I still think that this is mostly for the constant practice in writing blogs and making videos. I'm still found weak the theoretical part of the course, even though I can't deny the fact that I learn a lot this semester

 

Changing the study programme

I'm not a person who likes to complain about this subjects, it's just not my type of approach. Especially considering that criticize subjects that you don't really have a knowledge is very pointless

Considering that, I'm only going to refer to my career curriculum just as a commentary because I do not have the acquirements to do a well-informed opinion. First, I have to say that Journalism in Universidad de Chile has passed through several changes in his curriculum, adding new subjects an updating some of the old contents to the new times.

In terms of contents, I can say that the career has been developing at a good rate. But maybe their biggest issue is the paralyzation of the classes every year due to the decision of the students in go to strike. That's what makes the year very hard to accomplish, not only for having to finish the year later, also for losing content in an attempt of the university to close the year the soon as possible.

In terms of teaching, I can say they are pretty good. Maybe they don't have the patience as a school teacher but they have a lot of experience who reflects how much content you can get in every class. Obviously they are some exceptions, but they are only a few to consider it

Maybe, in conclusion, I would say that this university has his flaws (like any university in the world) but they do a great effort to correct them. Most importantly, I find here a style of teaching that I really like. 

Daniel Muñoz: My favorite Artist

At first, I was going to say that I don't have an artist that I love. That's because I consider myself an ignorant in most of the arts, so I never thought that I have enough knowledge to choose one favorite artist in any discipline. But then I realize that you haven't to be an expert to have an opinion and express your interests.

In this case, my favorite artist is the Chilean actor Daniel Muñoz. This iconic Chilean actor has become one of my favorite artists in general. I first saw his work in the acclaimed series "Los 80" like most of the kids from my time, to then saw his other projects as the president Salvador Allende or ( my favorite) as the coach of the Chilean football team of 1962.

What I like in most of the characters that he played is how he achieves to captures the essence of not only the characters, he also manages to recreate to perfection the type of people of those years simple, a little cranky but very polite when it comes to interacting to others. That's why it's my favorite artist

Current Issues: The 5G hysteria

Maybe it's not seem to be a live or death issue but when I explain to you what's the deal with it, it no longer will feel like that anymore.

5G is a new standard in communications that provides cellphone with a more faster transfers in data and also allows a better connection in more devices. To this point all seem to be good things, but the problem is that this type of net requires a more quantity of antennas to repeat the signal, and that's making the people think about mind control and others (like the president of the United States) in espionage.

Althought this two things are fake or half-truths, many people are starting to support this "hysteria" using social networks like Facebook or Youtube to spread like a decease a false statement about 5G, a technology which doesn't have any evidence that supports the accusations showed before.

By the end we can only hope that this type of groups starts disappearing. But sadly this is a phenomena that goes back to the middle age, where the fear of the unknown starts causing this persecution of the new.This remains the same now, and we need to start talking about this issues before this ridiculous speechs strarts to gain more support. That is the only solution to this problem, who is still invisible even when the USA starts to ban huawei form the country for the 5G
