An expert in my field: Sigmund Freud

Hi bloggers! Today I'm going to write about a famous exponent in my field, psychology.                 

I'm talking about Sigmund Freud. First, let me tell you some things about his life. He was born, on May 6th, 1856, in Pribor, Moravia, Austrian Empire, into a Jewish family, and died on September 23th, 1939, in London, Great Britain, at the age of 83. Sigmund Freud was a neurologist but is known as the father of psychoanalysis. Let me explain you about this concept. That's a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst. Some examples of his work are that he developed therapeutic techniques such as the use of free association. Also, he redefined sexuality with the Oedipus complex and had a dream analysis. The main reason of why do I like Sigmund Freud is because he was the first on creates a psychology theory, and is very important because of that. Also, I like the way he writes his books.

I hope you enjoyed reading about this, goodbye bloggers!

Food and healthy eating

Hi everybody! Today I'm going to talk you about something really important for me: food. I try to have my meals at a fixed time, and I also try to always have my breakfast before leaving the house in the mornings. 

When I was a child I didn’t eat many vegetables, because I didn’t like the taste. Today I know that I need them, so now even if I don’t like them a lot I try to eat them anyway. But now I really like onions and eggplants.

I can only cook basics, like some pasta, eggs and meat. I would like to learn anyway gourmet recipes, like sauces for the pasta, because I really like it. That’s because since I was a kid I’ve been playing tennis almost every day, and I was alwas on diet but a special one for athletes. I’ve been always eating that way, so if one day I stop playing tennis I would get fat really soon.

I like going to restaurants, my favorites are Juan Maestro, Jhonny Rocket’s and Starbucks Cafe. But I also like eating at home because my girlfriend cooks lunch for me and she cooks really well.

If I was about to die, my last meal would be spaghettis, I just really love that! 

Abortion

Hello blogger's friends, today I'm going to write about abortion. 

About this very controversial topic, I consider myself as a pro-life. I think abortion should be legal for all woman, and in every circumstance. Because we are talking about a female body, and it is a decition that the woman are supposed to take, not the state and even less the religion. I think a baby can be called like that only when its born. Before that is justa group of cells, that does not feel pain at all. Studies have that demostrated, the baby feels pain only some months before the birth. If abortion became legal, the woman would do something in the beginning, she won't wait until the baby is about to birth to do it, so in any case the baby would feel pain. I do not think the parents should get envolved in this, because is woman's choice, and it could happen that the parents think different that the daughter and force her to have a non wanted baby. For me, a baby must come to life only if it's going to be loved. I think religion is only important if the woman truly believes in it, and only if she agrees with it. If don't, nobody can decide for her. Because all pro-lifes want the baby to be born, but will they help the mother in something? Having a baby is not only love and time, it's also money, which the mother don't always has. Because all of that, I consider myself a pro-choice.

Thanks for reading, greetings!

Expectations for a new semester

Hi! We are almost in May; two months have already gone since the year started (as a student) and I’ve been doing well at the university. So, that is why today I´m going to tell you about what I expect from this semester. I study psychology, I´m in second year and I´m taking 6 subjects, but if I had to tell you 3 of my favorites ones, those would be social psychology, psychopathology and developmental psychology. As an extracurricular activity I´m taking english. Also I play tennis almost every day, I try to play as much as I can, and besides all these activities I´m taking part in a research team from my career about attachment theory.

This semester the only thing I really expect from is to approve on my classes and keep studying this career.

My favorite piece of technology

Technology is so important in our days; we all have a favorite piece of technology, and this time I´m going to talk you about mine: my iPhone. I have it since about one year; my parents gave it to me in the Christmas of 2013. It has been one of the bests gifts, because is very functional, with it I can chat with friends, read news, take good pictures and, of course, call everyone I want. For this reason I use it every day, and every hour, because is multifunctional. That’s also why I like it so much, because I can do a lot of things with it. Also it keeps me connected with my friends and family, but with the rest of the world as well. If I didn’t have my iPhone, I would have to buy a lot of things that replace the functions of my cellphone, and it wouldn’t be practical to go everywhere with a camera, a notebook, a phone, etc.

For these and a lot of more reasons, my iPhone is my favorite piece of technology. 

Music in my life

I truly believe that music is something very important for everybody, because is something that make us feel alive. So this time I´m gonna talk you a little about this. Personally, the music I enjoy the most is folklore, and if is from the north of Chile is better for me, because I used to live there. But I also like international music, I don´t know which one I like the most. Because my favorite artists are Manuel García, Los Bunkers, Inti Illimani, but I really like U2 and Scorpions as well.

About the Chilean law that requires radio stations to play some Chilean music, I think that is a great idea, because that way the people will listen more national music and the new artists can be known.

I think my life without music would be very boring, and I´d be different because music makes people happier.
