Vide0 !

Today I'm going to make a review about a video of the website www.ted.com .
The video showed a man called: Ken Robinson. He is a creativity expert and in the video he talks about if the schools kill creativity or not.
Well, he said that in every school of the earth what teachers has been taught are things related with the modern life: the industrialism, the growing population, etc. Things that are useful to promote this life style: so faster and "pragmatic" and for that, the artistic disciplines haven't a piece of space in this uncontrollable world.
Be creative involve to make mistakes sometimes, but teachers don’t accept it so kids can’t be creative. With the time, we are losing the capacity for be creative, so when we grow up and we became adults, we are just another person without any prospect or new idea: we just put our attention in the job and produce more and more even when this doesn’t matter us (it is so boring do things just because we must do!).
So we have to change our educational system that only promove hierarchy in subjects; because the art is so much important as cience, literature, mathematics, etc. And we have to respect the different kind of intelligences that kids have because its developments can be promove in many areas, one of them, the artistic area.
People are different, and we have to accept it. Be an artist isn’t means to be a useless person. It just means, be a different person but with the same importance than any other.

My future


For today, I’m going to talk about my future.
I think that in the future I will be a professional Psychologist that will be working in a hospital or a psychological center.
I don’t think that I will have my personal consultation for that moment because first, I’ll need to take some experience with partners of discipline, to adapt to the system, etc.
In my personal life I’m not really sure what I’ll be doing. I think that I won´t be married because I’m going to be very young yet: just twenty three years old ! (and of course, I won’t have kids neither).
I suppose that I’ll have a little department (I don’t know where and I don’t care for now), what it’ll be paid by me. I think (and I hope so) that I’ll be a independent woman, with my money, stuffs, car, department, and my life.
I expect to know somebody who I can start a nice relationship because I adore be in love ajajaja, but principally, because I would like to start a serious relationship with a young, professional and serious guy, without the complications of the university (I know that work could be worse, but in any case it’ll be a different experience).
Also, I would like to travel to europe and EEUU for my vacations if it is possible because I’ve always wanted to. And for last, I’ll continue studying about my discipline, maybe I’ll make a postdegree or something like that. I don’t want to remain behind !

Best in my area

Today I'm going to talk about the best in my area.
It is difficult to decide who is the best because they are many, and every one has contributed with something important for the Psychology.
But I decided to talk about Freud because he is the psychologist that introduced a fundamental concept in Psychology: the unconscious. Before his studies, the psychologists thought that we could accede to our mind only with the reason (the conscious).
Well, Freud was a doctor and a neurologist. He is the founder of Psychoanalysis.
He started his studies using the hypnosis as mental patient's treatment but later, he started to use the "free association" and analysis of dreams, that means that people (patient) have to establish connections between what they dreamed and childhood's lived experiencies (for Freud, the childhood is very important because it determines adult's personality).
Just like I said it before, he introduced a new concept: unconscious. It was taken from Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and Hartmann, but Freud gave it a scientific status.
Their concepts (unconscious, unconscious desires, repression, etc) were totally revolutionaries for his times. He proposes a divided mind in levels: yo, ello and superyo; and a fources conflict between our desires and our reason (what I wanna do and what I must do).

I think that he is important because he finished with the taboos and he treated the sexuality in a different way (it is fundamental for his theory, all energy is a sexual energy).

For all this I think that Freud is the best.
