Japan <3

Today I’m going to write about the country that I would like to visit: Japan. I chose it, because I’m a biggest fan of Japanese culture, particularly the samurai culture, I love it because I practice martial arts.

I used to practice taekwondo but now, I’m practicing aikido, that is a Japanese martial art and I can say that it is the best thing that I ever tried. I think that if I travel to Japan I could learn so much more about the discipline, the founder -O’sensei-, the philosophy and the history of aikido. Maybe I will visit museums or something like that, places where I could find more information about it. Also I chose it, because I adore the typical pictures of the traditional Japanese parks with a lake, the cherry-tree’s flower, the little bridge on the lake and the peace’s feeling moving around. So, I want to be there and experiment that feeling.

Also, I would like to visit a Buddhist temple and stay in there for a long time, maybe all my vacations. I will enjoy the silence, just the sound of the wind… and meditate all day. This is for me, the perfect day ever. And, of course, I would like to training aikido with a real Japanese master, in the central dojo of Japan. That would be something really exciting to tell to my friends, my family and my child (when I have it).

I expect to make it happen some day =)

For today I have to choose two graphs from the webpage www.grossnationalhappiness.com. I chose “Spirituality level” and “Taking account of karma in daily life”.

These graphs respond to a psychological well-being study that consists of the outcomes of life events and achievements. The responses were obtained from Bhutanese people. To evaluated the “well-being”, the investigators used psychological well-being indicators, with them it is possible to understand people`s evaluations about their own lives. These indicators were divided in four broad categories: life satisfaction, emotional well-being, spirituality and stress.

What I could see in the first graph was responses about how spiritual respondents considered themselves, and investigators obtained that every one reported that they were spiritual at some level. The results were that the most of the people considered themselves moderately spiritual, that it is a very common and expected result.
I think that is important to study the level of spirituality because it is, in many cases, fundamental to people’s happiness and psychological-physical stability; that is my case. For me, it is very important believe in something more, it isn’t necessary to believe in “a god or goddess”, I prefer to believe in a kind of life’s philosophy, in the forces of nature or the universe and the karma.

The second graph was about how many times people take in account the karma in their daily lives. The results show it that the most of the people sometimes think about karma, but the result was a little bit close to the response “always”, that it is very interesting. That means Bhutanese people consider very much the karma idea, that it isn’t very common in our country, here we used to think in punishment or test that god make us, it isn’t my case, by the way. I prefer to believe in karma. We can see it like a type of “justice”: negatives actions involve negative responses from the people. So, we have to think very well what we want to do before do it. That's my opinion.

Have a nice day! XOXO

Sick psychology of female sex criminals

The new is about why women commit sexual crimes to children or another women to help to her lovers.

The principal explications is the next one: the differences between sexs isn’t so important that differences within sexs. So, even women as men can ben cruel, agressive and sociopaths persons, because it is probable it has a genetic cause, so everyone could present it, just it is necessary the conditions to express it.

The news said that men are usually abusers (are more common), but when a women does the samen, they do it horribly. It believes that the principal reason is that she is in a dilema at the moment to commit the crime to hel her lovers, she doesn’t know what to do: if she helps to her lover or doesn’t do it, but lose him.

So, when she decided to help him, she assume the role of psychologycal torturing: she blame to her victims for be attractive to her husband or lover, so she express on them ( the victims) all her angry.

Another theory it is based in the idea that women presents "splitting and projecting". It is a theory that said women establish a relationship with powerfull or controler men for adquired with them status and power, so women are willing to do anything for them, because only with a man exist this “glory”, this status, so women have to continue working and helping him to do anything he want to do to preserve the status.

But the author conclude that there isn’t any theory that could be a good explication for this horrible actions, it could be many of it.

First session level 4

Hi! For today I have to write what kind of topics would I like to write for this semester... well, the last semester we (my classmates and me) talked a lot about our career and future dreams, it was interesting but now, I want to talk about more about ourself and the things what we do in our free time. I want to know about the important experiences in our lifes, hobbies, childhood, thoughts or feelings about anything… and why not? About our fears and traumas.
The blog could be a tool to express everything about us. I think that in this way, blog would be more interesting and fun, not just a “homework” or an obligation, but a nice thing.

For example, I would like to write about my favorite hobbie-sport –marcial arts- particulary about aikido and taekwondo, because I have directly experience with them. I would talk about what involves to practice martial arts been a woman, how you feel when with the pass of the time you start to understand the movement’s dynamics… it’s so exciting!

Also I would talk about my believes or life’s philosophy. For example, I like a lot the oriental “religions” (they are more philosophy than religion, I think), especially the Buddhism, and I try to behave in the way that Buda did. I think that the believes are important because they have an influence in the way that we think, behave and understand the world and people.

Well, there are some ideas… I expect you like it !

The end.-

Wow, I can’t believe it, the semester is ending... How did the time pass so faster?
Well, well, well... about my experience as a blogger I can say that it was very interesting. I never had done it before.. I mean to write in a blog for a class. I used to have a blog but it was personal. In there, my feelings was expressed in poems, short stories, pictures... that kind of stuffs.
I think that it was a really good idea, very innovative. In general, I enjoyed to write every week a new topic for the blog, but in many cases I had problems to make it for time’s limits (I can’t stay Monday’s class and for that, I can’t write the blog inmediately) so, sometimes it becomes in another homework to do in the biggest “Pending’s thing list”.
I believe that blog’s homeworks helped me to improve my english. I think that with the time, my english became better (a little at least jajajja).

The blog had many positives things, for example you can contact to your classmates and read their texts, to give your opinion about it, to express your ideas, to improve your english, to be creative (in your expressions and in the decoration’s blog).
About the “negatives” things, I can mention: blog takes time to write (and I learned how important every single second is in the university’s life ajajajaja), in many cases I felt a little dissapoinment with me because I made a lot of writing’s mistakes (but I tried to use it how a form to learning and it doesn’t make it again).
Just two “negatives” things... almost nothing ajajajja.

But, seriously, I really enjoyed to write the blog. It was the most fun thing that we made it in the semester (please, you don’t misunderstand me, I’m not despising the rest of activities; it just I like this one more than the others).

My ideal job *___*

Definitively this semester has been really hard, uff! ...

Well, today I’m talking about my ideal job. This is to be a psychologist, I’m completely sure.

Not for nothing I decided to study this. I did it because it is what I love to do. (I mean, I like to analyze pleople).

I can’t imagine me doing another thing (it was so much difficult for me to find a profession and when I did it, I realized that it is the only thing that I can do better.

Obviously, the principal skills and qualities for that job are: to inspired confidence to pacient, to have the capacity to listen people, to have patience, to have knowledge about differents psychological theories, to have finalized the career, to be motivated and always believe that any problem can be result.

I think that I would be good in this job because I have many of the principal skills and qualities (I think that the aspect I need to promote is theories’s knowledge, because I know about it but only superficially).

I like to work in a public medical center, principally; because there I could have more contact with different kind of people, problems and situations (just a little population’s part can pay a psychologist in a private medical center or in a private consultation).

I think that it wouldn't be very difficult to find a job in this area (clinical psychology) because with pass of time, it is more necessary the psychological council (the world every time becomes more confuse and complicated). And my aunt (she is obstetrician) works in a public medical center and she said to me that she could get my a job when I finish my career (I hate to talk about the typical "pituto", but I think that is it useful for the first years).

That's all. Take care !

My favourite subject

Hi! Today I'm going to talk about my favourite subject. It is called "Psychology"... yeah, I know, the name isn't very creative. This subject is a kind of introduction about many things, for example, we can learn about the perception, personality, psychology's history, motivation, life's development, etc. The teacher's name is Juan Enrique Wilson, and he is the best ! He teachs in a way that is so easy to learn and he has a enormous hability to explain the contents. The principal material that we use is a book that it is called "Psychology and life"; and it is a kind of bible for us because it contains all the basic information that a student has to know about psychology. Every class, teacher made a test about one of the book's chapter; this mean that we have to study every week.

I like because it is one of the few subjects that are related directly with my carrer. The another subjects, for example, history, philosophy... aren`t very related and I used to study in the school. "Psychology " is something new for me and completely interesting.
