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.

Psychoanalysis

About my career *

Today I’m going to talk about my career:
I’m studying psychology and this is my first year. I like it very much, because everything that the teachers have taught me is totally new and interesting.
I decided to study psychology because It was what I had always wanted, since I was child.
In my infancy I used to think that I could help people with their problems. I had the typical image of the concentrated psychologist (Freud, for example) hearing to the patient that it was lying in the sofa and I expected to become in someone like him.

The professionals of my area can work in clinics, schools, companies, courts... and in many places. In general, psychology can contribute in all kind of stuffs. You can find psichologists in the tv, advertising agencies, etc.
Obviously the kind of contribution depends on the discipline. It isn’t the same talk about clinical psychologists than educational psychologists (clinical is related with individual behaviour and educational with school behaviour... it is a very general definition). But the principal objetive of psychologists is improve the quality of life of people, the relations with themselves, another persons, communities, etc.

The tools that we would need in the future are more technological machinery because they are very necessary for studies related with de brain and behaviour. We could develop a lot of innovative researches.

I have two favourites subjects: psychology and psychobiology, because they are the most related with the career and the matters are things completely news for me (I had never studied something like that).

I adore my career !

Photograph (L)

Today, I'm going to talk about a photograph that I like it so much.

This photograph, I took it one month ago, I think; when my friends and me were in the "art's grass" that it is ubicated in the Art faculty.

It shows us in this order: Patricio, me, Zuelem and David.

They are my friends at university, and I love them a lot !

Zuelem isn't part of the psychology course anymore. She decided leaving the career for make a pre-university, take the PSU again and apply for medicine, the career that she really love it.

The "news"made feelling us a little sad but we want the best for her, so we supported her when she told us.

The picture like me, because it remembers me all the things that we made that day: all the jokes, laughter, conversations... everything.

That day, was one of the most beautiful days in the university and I'll remember how the first of many.

Facebook *_*

For this task I have a problem: I don't have a career-related website. I study psychology and this is my first year so I don't have so much knowledge about this kind of websites.

So I'll talk about a website that doesn't specifically related with my career but where you can find some information about it: facebook (www.facebook.com)I knew facebook because of internet, television and comments of my friends (It become very popular).

There are a lot information about many things in facebook'groups. For example, I belong to a group called "Latinoamerican psychology" where you can find information about international seminars, meetings, etc. Also, obviously, I belong to "University of Chile Psychology", this is a group that contain information like volunteer works, how you can find or get some particular books or any relevant material about psychology. You can find a lot of people like you, with same interests, new ideas, a lot of knowledge and experience. I really expect to be like them some day.

I visit facebook's group almost every day, because most of the time I check my profile (invitations of friends, groups, quiz, games, etc.) and then, if I want to, I visit the psychology groups. There is one that I didn't mention before: "psicomechones 2009". This is a very special group because is about us: the first-year's students of psychology.

There are a lot of incoherent information ajajaja, but also you can find comments about tests, activities, homeworks, etc.

This group is that I love more than any other, because is own group, it is about us. (L)

Finally, I can say that I enjoy a lot visiting this groups because they are so much entertaining, interesting and they constantly upload new useful information.

Notebook *

My favorite piece of technology is my notebook. I think that is the most greatest invent of the universe ! I like it, because you can do a lot of things with him. For example, I can speak with my friends when I'm chatting, I can review my e-mail, I can find information on the web for my homeworks or anything that I wanna know.

I got it before the last year in christmas time. My uncle gave to me at the end of the night, it was my last present. For me, it was a complete sorprise because I expected to receive it the next year when I get graduated!.

I use my computer every day at night. I sit in my bed and turned it. Then, I have to wait a little seconds for the programs and my antivirus start to work. So I open the messenger, the internet explorer page and my program "last fm" (music program) to listen some music. I use it sometimes just for chatting, another occations for write my summary about psichology class, to listen music, to upload my pictures in my fotolog's page, to check facebook, or just for play.

The life without the computers would be boring and complicated because we couldn't accede to many things when we want it. We couldn't speak with our friends all the time that we want to(because talk on the phone is so much expensive), we have to go to the library for take any information (books, magazines, newspaper, etc), we have to write all "with the hand" and the pencil (we can't print).

Well, if the computers doesn't exist, we'll get in troubles. The life became in chaos for a while (at least even we find a new way to put the things in order and more accessibles).

For all this, I love my notebook (L)
