Blogging Experience

Hi everyone this post is like an evaluation to the blogging experience.
In general terms I think it was useful to my learning, and to improve my supposed skills in the lenguaje.
I enjoyed to post some of the topics, such as the photograph topic, whereas other ones was more dificult to fill the 300 words.
however, I think that after we receive the connectors material, it was easier to post a topic.
In spite of that, I think the blogging experience helps me to improve my vocabulary, spelling and grammar.
I  never had much difficult to read in English, but I think the activity of posting every week improve the read skills as well.

Something that we can improve , maybe, is the blogg itself, because I think that the bloog is not the best plataform to create participation with the classmates, maybe a page in facebook it would be more interactive.
although, if the bloog continues , I dont have a real problem, is just to create the rutine of view the blogs and posting to the classmates.
The advantages of using the blog in the English class, is more or less what I said before, about practice what we were learn in class, improve our grammar, spelling, vocabulary , write and read, besides the listening and oral skills as well.
The disadvantages of using the blog, is about our personal time, about our other responsabilities, and the time that we dedicated to write the post, in some ocation I wrote something with almost no time, and another ocation I use more time, and I tried to correct the mistakes for example.
Hence, this is a personal problem, and due to my other responsabilities, maybe, I just not use the total potencial of the blogging experience, and some of my weakness, such as my difficulty with the use of the words in past, still there, owing to the same problem.
I'm only hope, that looking to the first topic and comparing with this, the last one, there exist an a real advance and can notice my improve.

Transgenic Food.

Hi today's topic is about one of the newest, controversial and most important biotecnology of the recent years, Transgenics.
In simple words, Transgenic, is put genes from one individual to another complete diferent individual.
Transgenics can be used in different areas of the biology, such as; farmacology, medicin, agronomy and veterinary. In pharmacology for example there is cows that produce human hormones in her milk.
This topic is about  Transgenic food, so then, I think that the people who are against transgenics, is because they dont have enough knowledge about it, in other words, ignorants.
Due to transgenics has many beneficial things, for example the production of  safety food and  the enviroment care, and there is not one single scientific proof of consequences of using transgenic food in the human health.
Nevertheless, scientist  has still  much to study about transgenics, specially about the posible consequences for the human health.
Also the goverment has much to do about control transgenic food, specially about food labeling, because the people has the right to know if the food is transgenic or not, so they can choose what kind of food eat.
Other important thing that the government has to control is the economic part, the posible monopolies and advantages they can get.
In conclusion, the transgenic food is very good to the people, is a strong tool to finish the hunger in the wolrd, to produce better  and safety food, to care the enviromental, but has to be made seriously, consequently, taken care of the great responsability of this biotecnology.



By the way, unless that  you produce your own food, everyone  all ready eat transgenic food, even those who are against transgenic, like the most of the vegetarians who like to eat, specially  soja foods.

Student protests

Hi everyone, this post is about the student protests and manifestations against  the educational system in Chile, which, is very bad, by the way.
Due to the bad conditions of the Chilean education, all the participants, such as school, pregraduate and post graduate university students also teachers and parents association, has made this topic a national  concern.
I dont want to say, who is the guilty of this problem, because, the political decisions made about education in the past years, maybe, it was not to bad in that moment,  however,  now we need a huge change in the educational politics.
One of the principal problems is the excessive number of universities that exist in Chile and the lack of control and regulation about it.
Well, actually, there is a control in the numbers of careers and universities, and that control is the market law.
Even though, the education should not to be controlled by the market, it must to be controlled by the government.
it should be exist a strong government policies, about what really want the country for his future, about the number of professionals , for example more medics more agronomist, less number of journalists
Some universities that not fill the minimum standard quality required, should not exist.
The students that not fill the standers for the universities should not enter to the universities, because, today anyone can join to the university, and that is a problem, since the most probably, is that person not finish the career, and has to pay anyway.
The act of choose a career, have to be seriously and not be a fashion trend.
The university is not the pad,  or the solution  for all the people, due to this, today in Chile exist an over Offer of profesionals, consequently find a job is very dificult and the salaries are very bad comparing  with other countries.
I hope that the government take all this in count, and do the change.
