Education

  The topic I chose to write about is the problem of education in Chile from an economic, political and social. Chile is a country that has a capitalist economic model, so in the matter of education it works in the same way. not everyone has the same opportunities to receive a quality education, since it depends on the money that this person has, for this reason, public education has very poor quality in general compared to private education, but at the same time there are private schools that are bad and it is just the name The education is not treated as an opportunity, but as a simple forced deal between indifferent parties, developed in a totally apathetic way to the natural functioning of the human brain, more focused on practical and emotional development than on rational and technical development. At the Chilean level, education also has a sociocultural problem, commodified, accessible to people who can afford it, and these people deny the educational privilege, seeing thems...

The last plebiscite

  In Chile in 2019 there was a social explosion with which the beginning of a constitutional proposal was achieved.  My political vision has always been on the left. The elections to approve or reject the new proposal was last Sunday, its results gave the winner to the reject option According to studies that are being carried out, they say that the plebiscite was lost due to misinformation that was dedicated to disseminating a certain political sector, which everyone knows what it is, through all kinds of media, the other day I heard an interview with an older lady in which they asked her why I voted for rejection and she said "vote rejection so that there is a change", now how could that old lady think that rejecting was changing? if literally the reject option meant that everything stays as it is. In chile the public education is bad, this factor added to the massive misinformation influenced the results from the triumph of rejection. Can democracy exist if the media have a...

                     Person that I admire The person i admire most in the field of architecture is Alejandro Aravena, he is a Chilean architect, he was born in 1967 in Santiago, he is 55 years old, he studied architecture at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile and did a postgraduate degree at the University Institute Of Architecture in Venice, he is a visiting professor at Harvard University, in 2001 he founded ELEMENTAL with Andrés Iacobelli, he was a jury member of the pritzker prize from 2009 to 2015, since in 2016 he was the winner of this, considered the most important prize of architecture being considered the Nobel of architecture. What i like most about his work is his social housing project, because he put aside the idea that social housing was of little value made with bad materials, resembling more a consumer good like a car than a property in which can be invested in the future. I also like his style and the way ...

HOW CAN YOUR MAJOR MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE

Imagen
                  How can your mayor make the                         world a better place The truth is that initially i did not see the architecture like a way to change the world, but over time my perception has changed thanks to the fundamentals of architecture classes where they teach architecture from a social and philosophical point of view. I believe that my career can help the poorest people and in general all people if Henry Lefebvre's so-called "right to the city" is taken into account, this book exposes the problems of the modern city as a product of the capitalist and industrial city and how people lost public space to privilege private space, he also seeks a solution to this problem through architecture, on the other hand i have also been very interested in the work of Alejandro Aravena, a prominent Chilean architect who won the 2016 Pritzker Prize , his social work focu...

CHOOSE ONE OF TWO TOPICS

                              My favorite food my favorite food is macarons, it is a food of French origin, specifically it is a dessert, they are meringue caramel cookies, to make them first the egg whites are beaten with the sugar until a firm paste remains, then mix them in an enveloping way with almond flour, then with a sleeve the mixture is deposited in the shape of small circles on a tray and let it rest for 40 minutes then it is baked for 30 minutes over low heat and finally it is filled with whatever you like, it can be cream Chantilly, pastry cream, delicacy, peanut butter, etc. I like it because it has a delicate and sweet flavor and it is very pretty because it have different colors and it is small, it do not impact my health very well because it have a lot of sugar but not as often the first time i ate was in a restaurant and i loved it.
