The capital punishment =(

I think capital punishment is not a good solution to reduce criminality, actually I think capital punishment is not a solution for nothing, because the punishment doesn`t teach a new behavior, only punish a bad behavior. For this I think that the society, in special the proffesionals of social area as psychilogist, sociologist, etc. have the duty and the responsability to create a different form for the control to reduce criminality.
I think that the unique pros in capital punishment is the social control by the fear, while I think that the cons in capital punishment are that the goverment dominate to society with the punish, other cons is that the capital punishment doesn`t understand that the society create the crime.
I think that a measure to reduce the criminality rates in Santiago should be the education and the opportunity for the personal development, for example, with work and fair salary.
In my opinion, the increasing criminality in Chile is not really, I think that is a exaggeration of the media.
I have been victim of a crime. A day when I was in the bus, a man steal my cell, and that day was very sad to me.

My Favorite Piece of Technology

My favorite piece of technology is the cell phone. The mobile is the best invention. I had my first cell phone when I was 15 years old, the mobile was a birthday gift from my father. I was happy with my gift, but a day when I went at University in the bus, a person stole my mobile. Later I had another mobile that I bought, it has many application it is very funny. I use my cell phone to call my parents, my friends and specially I use my mobile to call my boyfriend. I use everyday my mobile to speak with the people that I love, my mother calls me to my mobile twice a day to ask how I am, and my boyfriend calls me at least once to tell me "I love you". My cell phone has mp3, that is why I keep my favorite music and I Listen to music when I am bored . My mobile also has camera, that is why I take a photograph with my friends. That is why I like my cell phone, because I can do many thing. My life would be very different if I didn't have my cell phone because I could not talk to my parents neither my boyfriend, lisent to my favorite music, take a photografy.

My best friend =)

My best friend is Maite Alejandra Agurto Jara, she is a very important person for me. I met Maite in the university, when we were at Bachillerato together. Later she chose psychology and now we are classmate. I consider that Maite is my best friend because she is a young woman nice, funny, she is a bit absent-minded. Maite loves dancing "salsa", we were together at discotheque, she likes reading, her favorite book is "Antigua vida mia", she likes to go to movies, her favorite movies is "orgullos y prejuicio", and she likes drinking ice cream with her friends and she likes eating chocolate. We always talk, she listens to my problems and when we are together we laugh a lot. Maite has a pretty family, she lives with her father, her mother, and her brother, her parents are very affectionate. In the holidays she fell in love, she has a nice boyfriend, he is Pablo, he is a student of engineering. The best memory I have with her is when we were at voluntary work in Pichidegua later of earthquake, this was gratifying work and in those days I met Francisco, he is Maite's brother and now Maite is my sister-in-law. We are together all day because we live near.

Martin Baro, the person that I admire.

Martín Baro is a person on my field that I admire, because he was the first social psychologist, he worked for equal opportunities of the people and justice.

Baro was born in 1942 in Spain and he died in 1989 in "El Salvador", he was murdered. He was psychologist and priest Jesuita. He was a very responsible student. He traveled to America Central in 1959 and he was a teacher in the Universidad Centroamericana Jose Simon Cañas. He was "the father" of Social Psychology of the liberation and he dedicated his life at class struggle and politics.

He wrote eleven books, many articles and magazines. His book "Psicología de la Liberación" is only an example of his thought.

I like Martín Baro because he was a men that worked, fought and died for his thought. And I like him because I share his ideology, he wanted to put together psychology and society.

I think that Martín Baro help psychology to open its way, it is very important that the psychology is based on the context of the people where they work.

Cauquenes, my favorite vacation place

My favorite vacation place is Cauquenes, it's a town in VII Region of Chile. Cauquenes is a small town, but is a very beautiful place. The people that live in Cauquenes is neek, laborious and very nice.
My grandmother was born in Cauquenes in 1945 and she lived there until she was 17 years old, then she went to Cauquenes only un holidays. When I was 5 years old, I went for the first time there, and form that moment I go always to Cauquenes in holidays.
In the town there is a church, called "San Alfonso", that is so big, and there is a "Mercado", where the people sell typical food, and in the bridge there is a "Chuico", a typical symbol Cauquenino, and a hospital and a police station. Around the town, there are many fields, with many animals.
I think that other facilities that should be there are a mall, for the people could go to buy, and also the town need a museum, a cinema and a fast food center, for the people get fun!

The earthquake

The night of earthquake I slept in my house, I wasn´t a party because my friend Carolina was sick, I watched the show of Ricardo Arjona in the Festival de Viña and later I went to sleep. When the earthquake happened I woke up, I was calm, but when the earthquake continiued stronger I got up and called my brother, we were with my mother and her boyfriend and my gramy. I was calm but felt fear because the earthquake continiued. when the earthquake finished I asked at my neighbor how she was, and called my father because he was in his house in the other place.
One day later I was nervous because it kept tremblin. I felt that I loved my life, and my family.
