Essay: Chile 2010

Chile was a colony from Spain for three centuries, when Spain was the most important empire of the world. But in 1810 the most important families formed the first autonomous government in Santiago of Chile, and then it become a free country like Argentina. This fact was the most important of the history of Chile, because began the war of independency and finally the formation of one nation, first from Copiapó until Concepcion, and then from Arica until Punta Arenas. This year the Chilean people remembered and celebrate this fact that began our independency and nationality.

I think that this year was special because we had great disasters like, earthquake and tsunami in the center-south of Chile, then the 33 miners underground, and then Mapuche and Rapa Nui conflicts. In the other hand, we had the South Africa 2010 football world cup, where Chile participated and give much happiness in the first half of the year. In spite of these antecedents and its consequences, like social and economic problems, the Chilean people have celebrated the bicentenary with four free days, and many activities in all year.

In the second half of this year, the TV and the government promoted the learning of the history, nationality and culture from Chile. For these reasons, the TV programs were made about significant facts of the national history, like the Independency, Pacific War, and the social conflict at 1973. On other hand, the culture was promoted with government programs, with focus on the tradition, native people, and the contemporany society. For example, the “bicentenary person” was a government program from the Culture department. This program searched the person that made a most important contribution to the country.

My conclusion is that ideas like unification or nationality were stronger after to disasters of the first term. Also were important the history and culture subjects. In the 2010 we have viewed that Chile is a country with many cultures and great socioeconomic differences. However, we have joined stood to disasters, we meet for the celebrations and solidarity causes. I think that was a complex year, with many difficulties and social problems, but that the Chilean people could overcome.

Mapuches

Hi
I think that Mapuches conflict is several problem in our society, because they are constitution members and Chilean people for then they have all right when cry this historical demands. I think that his problem is a historical subject, and is very difficult take a radical position.
The most important problem is the earth restitution; this point is the national discussion. In this problem the government solutions has been insufficient, and the walk is very difficult, because the government sometimes forget that the Mapuches society is a ancestry culture which has lived for many centuries and which have its culture regulations . For example many politic people think that the few solutions to problem is the absence of person (or group), with authority on the Mapuches communities, but this conceptions is not possible because the Mapuches people only has a local authorities and chose a great authority in specifics situations. Then is necessary take conscience about the great Mapuches world, and in the specific subjects about it, like political-economy, relationships, preferences about to solutions, conceptions about the earth.
I think that the Mapuches trying to solve its problems to pacify make, but the little coverage of TV and newspaper about to pacify solutions between government authorities and Mapuches authorities, we do not see it. In contraposition the TV and newspaper take more attention in the conflict when have conflicts between policy and Mapuches, that is when do not have appeases solutions.
I believe which a tool for the solutions of the many problems and conflicts about the Mapuches is the use to academic knowledge, that is , use the work about to anthropology, because is very important have the perspective of the Mapuches, know his world, his social demands and, expectative and priorities about the solutions. In this point I think that the first step must be to government, and return to academic knowledge like support of the social political.

Music

Hi

My favorite musical group is Green Day. The kind of music of Green day is Punk-Rock, but I do not the punk rock like my favorite kind of music. Really I prefer listen many types of music about to the different countries or cultures, like Arabic, Indian, Polynesia, in especially to translate the Rapa Nui music. Other kinds of music which I like are the Pop, rock classic, and reggae. This examples represent to me, in specially the classical rock, is motivating in my mornings during the week. My favorite band of this kind of music is journey, but I like more the singers like rock Springfield, rob Thomas, mc lean, Jessie McCartney, Queen, and others.
I really enjoy to listen many types of music, in especially I prefer the songs from Rapa Nui, are very beautiful songs. But the music in my daily life depends to my different activities in the day or week.
In general I do not decide that type of music like or dislike, I prefer listen and then to search and repeat the song, band or singer.
Return to Green Day was one of the bands that promoted the Punk trend at the 90`s, and I cannot avoid listen its songs with my friends in the school, and the band finished to like me. For this reason I like this group because they have a good sound and it is from my school years. When I listen to their music, I remember good moments with my classmates.

I really recommend listen Rapa Nui music, Indian and Arabic music. These types of music are very good!!!!. In especially the Rapa Nui music, it’s very relaxing, entertaining, beautiful, and its songs to relate the history, tradition and culture of this wonderful island

see you.-

Hi everybody

I think which people learn the environmentally practices in their daily life, because great population have children studying about it (elementary school), and the interaction between old people and younger do which this theme of environmentally( contingence) will be constant in the daily life.

In my case, I have incorporated the footprints, but only in 75 percent in my home, because in the places which I visited have not garbage to separate. In my daily life I try to make seperate garbage.

Always I have gone in public transport, for the reason of environmentally, trying to help on the decrease to pollution. I had bicycle but I don’t want use it for going to university or other activities, I considerate very dangerous in traffics of Santiago. I try to walk in the center of the city because and the park or many other activities around of my home, because are few kilometers.

When I was little boy, in the elementary school I was member of the ecology academy in my school for 3 years, in this sessions we teachers try to give advances, techniques and practices in direction of care our environmentally, looking it like our home. One object was which we could sow seeds, care the animals like insects and the birds and others which participate in the ecological system; it was great experiences, because I really learned about the natural world. A second object was learn about to deferent cultures which care the natural world, in those sessions I learned many about the aymará, diaguita and mapuche culture, also about farmer and fishers. Really this experience was very good. I began to look the world with other eyes.

In my second year in the high school I was member of one program with object save to Humedal de Lluta, Arica. Here we tried of save the different species of birds, plants, insects, and the diversity of micro-climes about the Humedal.

see you!!

Forence Anthropology: Combined DNA Index System (CODIS)

Well… one thing that can be a possibility in the physical anthropology (or also called forensic Anthropology) is to participate in the legal medical service (SML) and Police Investigations (PDI) in the registration of DNA sequence, fingerprints, collections of the crime evidences and genomic analysis of the imputed. For these reasons, I believe that the new DNA system collection is the most important in the last years for the develop of my career and our country. In the future, my modest dream, will be to work in the genetic labs of the PDI and SML from Chile for use the new DNA system collection.

This system is a police and scientific instrument, which is part a government policy to protect victims of crime in a coordinated effort by the SML and the Ministry of Justice, Prisons, prosecutors, police and Police Investigations.

The system is a progressive collection of five different records: register of convicted, defendants registration, recording of evidence, registration of missing persons and their families, and victims registration. The collection is made on the basis of genetic fingerprints during a criminal investigation and with an absolute scientific certainty will allow the identification of a potential suspect by comparing his genetic pattern and the DNA profile of biological samples (evidence) collection at the scene. Finally, the technology used is based on the program or software called COMBINED DNA INDEX SYSTEM (CODIS), developed by the FBI in the United States and provided to our country after an agreement of cooperation signed by the Ministry of Justice and the FBI in 2003. One important feature is that CODIS is the most advanced in Latin America.

Break new: The 33 group underground

I think that the 33 miners underground was a break new that we feel in our hearts: when we knew the new that they are underground because to collapsed mine (San José), and when the 33 miners were find, the Chilean people was overjoyed by the new of that they are live. Personally, I believed that they have died, because arrived the second week and don’t have news of that they are live, but my opinion changed, and I feel admiration, joy and returned my hope in their rescue. The last new, that they are live, is the reason that has been in a long time to Chile in the World attention.
I think that the political attitude of the government has been proper, because they has gaved all their economic and technical effort for: comunication with 33 miners, and the rescue of them. But, personally, I concidered that the responsibility in all works (comunication and rescue) made by the government, should to be made by the San José company, because hasn’t been present in the develop of this new.
The press attention has been good since the first moment and develop its. The press was worry for the family of the 33 miners, names, works, company responsabilities, and the potencial solutions of the government. I think that the press work was good and correct. But I think that the last time the write press and TV, have changed their conception of the problem and tragedy, to a conception of “reality show”, where shows all cotidianity of the miners, they are visted for many famous people, with presents, (…). I concidered that the tragedy news is now a famous new where don’t respect the intimity and real problem of the miners. The new is now more a economic publicity.
