Hi , today I would like to tell you why I decided to study psychology .

First when I was at school my teacher teach us some things about psychology; theories like psychoanalysis and behaviorism, so I feel motivated to search more information about this

 Also my philosophy teacher recommended me to read some books and that made me decided to study this career.

Now I’m on the second year of the career and not all my expectations have been achieved

If I think about the discipline before I get into the university I us to believe that exist just one type of psychology but is not like that. Also we have problems with the production of knowledge, because in the most cases is not according to social and cultural requirements.

But I still here because I believe is a discipline can bring important thing to the people and society , but we have to make an effort to change the directions of the career.

And as I said recently, we  have many ways of make psychology , and theoretical lines are important , and is a decision we have to make assuming all the implications that brings.

Until now I’m interest in clinical and educational psychology, but is not an unchangeable decision.

Finally about theoretical lines is hard to make a decision but I´m interested and agree whit some approaches of constructivism and others of constructionism.

 Hi everyone here is a summary of an interesting article  !

This article is about  a law, that is in the parliament of New south Wales in the south of Australia, the name of this bill is Zoe’s law an try to give legal personhood to a fetus, this would mean that anyone that injury or kill a fetus at least of 20 weeks could go to jail.

The author says that this law came into focus because there have been some cases where a women was taken to the court because she was accused to hurt  her unborn baby

Also show the support of the medical experts against this law.

Another case it’s about a men and father that was accused to kill his baby in a car accident, he also was taken to the court even though his wife told the police it was an accident.

She says first that this kind of laws that has been impulse in many countries are offending women rights and reduce women “to the status of incubators”.

She warns the potential danger of this law, because put the women at same level to a fetus and reduce her physical liberty.

Finally she reflects and question to all the authorities and people of Australia to think and debate about women's reproductive rights and choices. 

holidays...

Today I’m going to talk about holidays, first a holiday is a special day  were activities like work or class ore suspended, usually to commemorate some religious landmark or  an important date to the country, also you can talk about winter or summer holidays. I think are very important because specially in a world like this and in a country like this people are  extremely  stressed and pressed, because of the work ,money , personal problems, school or university, etc.

So a time for relax, spend enough time with their families or an important person in their life is extremely necessary, beside that is a time for leisure, I believe we must have an space in our lives to don’t do anything productive an  just rest, read for pleasure or anything else you want.

In my summer holidays I go back to my home in Iquique , so I go out with all the friends I can’t see during  the year , also I go a lot to the beach , because the beaches closest to Iquique are amazing.

The next summer holiday I will go to the south of Chile or maybe the south of Argentina, I like to travel a lot so this time is the perfect moment to do it. I will go to these places because are I would like to know it better and last holidays I went to Peru. I’m planning to do this trip with my boyfriend because last summer I did whit my best friends.

Bye J
