Chilean interior minister zeroes in on Mapuche conflict

The national police of Chile will try to finish with the Mapuche conflict with new technical equipment said Andres Chadwick (the Interior Minister) the last Friday.  He didn't `t said any more detail about it, only announced that the equipment will be recived both air- and land-based and that it will arrive soon.

Supposedly the material will  help to the  government to prevent the Mapuche action and provide evidence to blame them  about violence against the state.  Also he said that he will  confront the clashed with a firm fist, but will help to the Mapuche groups  that have the peace in mind. The Interior Minister  guaranteed  to the rest of the people "safety against those who decide to use violence with all the rigour of the law."  He added that the government have offered alternative solutions to the clashed; specifically peaceful solution but only for "those who have trusted in the action of government."  Well, the Chilean state always has had a clashes with the Mapuche nation, I mean since Chile exists as an independent nation for this reason It is a historic conflict. Today there are a  lot of Mapuche communities that continue fighting  for their autonomy and control over their ancestral lands. These demands burst the confrontations between police and protesters.

In October the Area of indigenous Development ( ADI) presented a program when supposedly would grant 100,000 acres of land development to a series of Mapuche communities in Chile`s Ercilla region. Juan Catrillanca the lonko of this community  doesn't `t believe in this government action neither in the ADI actions.

Well that is all !  It was a little of the state and press lies! See you and think about it ! Because the only violence that exist is the state violence.

goodbye´s times :)

Well Guys this is a farewell post and as such I am going to talk you about my experience with English.  Well, I have to be honest I don’t like this idiom very much because it is very difficult for me I don’t listen English music neither I am a great fan of English series. So I don’t use very much this idiom.  Anyway I need to know how speak English and understand it because is very important for my career and  for the life in general,  today all the people  should know speak English, we live in a globalized world! For this reason I like to have English in the university. I have reinforced my English here.  But I would like that the English was more useful for each career because we need to learn a lot of technical language. In many times we understand English but we don´t know the technical vocabulary.  Anyway this subject helped to me to understand English texts to other subject that were in this idiom. In this sense it safe my life. In Anthropology there are a lot of English texts that before I couldn’t read. With the blog I have strengthened my writing and my analysis ability; also it is a very funny way to practice our English. But I would like to practice my pronunciation a little more because I am very bad in that´s. Also in need to improve my grammar because I have forgotten, I usually confuse the tenses.  I plan to practice this aspect watching English television, listening English music, speaking English with my friends and traveling around the world, because when a person is in other country have no choice that learn the idiom of this.

Honestly I hardly ever use the English outside the English class; because I don’t I have this need, sometimes I use it to translate a song,  sometimes when I go to some international parties as “Miercoles Po” I use  English  to communicate with others who that  don´t know how to speak Spanish. And sometimes I use it to translate and understand some texts that are in this idiom.

Well, as you can see I don´t use very often the English but I try to get better. Anyway this semester has been very uneven because we have had a lot of walkout and outputs to other places for other subjects, I wish to be more in this classes but it was impossible. U.U

Well, I leave hoping that all of us have a good end of semester! Good luck and see you soon.

XOXO

L-o-v-e P-e-r-u :D

Hi class-matters today I am going to talk about the country that I would like to visit!! Well what can I say; I would like to visit all the countries over and over again, even the countries that I already visited. But first I would like to visit the magic Peru :)! Since I was a child that I want to do that. I would like visit Peru because I love its history and people, I love its landscape with a lot of contrast; the jungle, the high plateau, the cost!! I like its dances and religious parties, its social movements, its food! I love all!

About Peru I know a lot of things because my dad `s girlfriend is Peruvian and I am studying anthropology and I had a subject of Andean culture :) the best subject that I have had. I know that It is a country very diverse, where the most of its population is indigenous, It has a very beautiful history of social struggle and a very captivate culture. I know that It has one of the best food of the world and my friends have told me that is very cheap there and the travel for it is mystic and magic. In there I would like to visit Cuzco, Machu pichu and all that millennial places, meet a lot of people eat a lot of food and would like connect by the nature and myself. I would like to back-page in there.  Even I could say that I would like live there because I would learn a lot of things there, anthropology and life things, also I would like to work there;  I am sure that there are a lot of many interesting things by studying there.

Well guys that is hall! See you soon

My FuTuRe JoB

Hi guys! Today I am going to talk about my future job, a very complicated theme for me because I am not pretty sure what I want to do when I left the university and face the laboral world. I don´t want sell me to the system, I don´t want to be a work ´s slave, I really hate the routine; In fact, I think that is for these reasons I

am here studying anthropology. But sometimes I think i would like to work in the environment area maybe in an ONG, helping communities that are oppressed by the system to resist by building autonomy in their own places. I think that the traditional knowledge of the people is transcendental to achieve this.  The ecological anthropology could help to use this knowledge to save the nature and the communities through the communication and awareness. It is important to save the connection that the people have with the environment.  For this reason I would like to take a major about this topic. To choose a job obviously I would consider the salary, the social commitment and the work environment.  But the most important thing to me is that I like the job, and I do it with love! Well about my strengths and weakness in this sense I think that I am very sociable and persevering especially when I like an investigation but I am very relaxed, I only work with pressure :P also I really hate the people who like to do the things only in their way, in this sense I could be a little controversial. But well what can I say despite my doubts I don´t imagine doing anything else. I love the anthropology but sometimes it‘s very difficult to get rid of the colonialism that catch it. :C

Well guys! That it all! See you!

XOXO

About Money :S

Hello there again! Today I’m going to talk about Money, a topic very interesting and controversial at the same time. Well what can I say, to me money is not a big deal. Family, health, friends are thousand times more important than money, because as they always say: “money cannot buy happiness” or friends, or family or health.  Despite that, I can say that I don’t know what would I do without it, because in this life everything has a prize, everything costs money. I usually spend my money to lunch and on the transportation. Also when sometimes I go out to pubs and discotheques I spend money on alcohol which is pretty expensive and when I buy other things like clothes as well. However, what I like the most to spend my money is on presents to my loved ones and friends.

I have to say that I am very bad managing my budget, because I never worry about how much money I will spend or in what, I am very disorganized with that stuffs, as the money is not big deal to me I always lose it.

However, everyone has this dream about being a millionaire some day. If I was it I would invest the money in anthropological projects which help the development of communities. Also I would spend big part of the money travelling around the world.  

If I ever had to pawn something it would be my cell phone because I really really hate it, someone who likes the modern things can have it; I want a “brick”! :P

Well that’s all for today guys

Thanks you for read this and See you in the next post !

Hello! Today I am going to talk about the environment care; well I am not the more ecologist person, I mean, I  never have incorporated any  recycling habits in my life despite that I know a lot of things about it.

Well I learn about environmentally friendly practices in the school when I was a little child but I apply the easier practices  like take care the water, the places (for example don`t throw the garbage on the ground, take care of the light,  and so try  not to  pollute the atmosphere or the sea. But I never have recycling habits. Sometimes when I have enough time I use  my legs instead of a car because it is healthy   for the environment and me. :). I never have joined with any eco-organization because sometimes I think that it is a fashion that the hight society adopt for their own benefit. I think that if you want to help to this  cause you have to start for your own home and life first. About is I would like to use other kind of energy like solar energy and  Eolithic energy, don`t talk for mobil phone because the antenna kill the bees :C  and well I would like that the authorities prohibits the pollution, we can life with other kind  of energy: the sustainable energy. The idea is learn about other cultures and  not  remove nature to make life  easier; we should live with the nature  and to  nature :D. For help I try other way of travel in the city, have a lot of plants, try to don`t use things that damage the ozone layer etc. 

My society does nothing  to help the environment. In other countries people are cleaner and more concerned  about those things. In Santiago there are a lot of cars, noise pollution, garbage, atmospheric pollition and  contaminate rivers. This city is a disaster in terms of take care the environment at least today people use more bikes. :D


Well that is all! See you

XOXO.
