Psychology in Universidad De Chile

I think that in my area of study (psychology), the skills we need are knowledge of the human mind and his internal job, know a bunch of theories about how we can help another person for solving their problems, of course the knowledge would depend on the specialization that we take, and also I think an intention to help people with their problems, I think we need sympathy for other but not too much because if we put in another people head in a extreme way we can’t help correctly to another. And it’s maybe this last thought I mentioned, one of the most importantly abilities we have to own and it’s inborn.

This university provided me the best teachers we can have, that’s I think is his second best quality, the first in my opinion is the atmosphere, the ideas, the plurality is the best thing that this university can offer, before I pass through 3 other careers but in the Pontificia Universidad Católica, and that’s the reason I’m here, because I didn`t like the absence of respect for other, the people was very classicist, and I have a very hard time in there with a few friends, that think like me, after 3 careers there and see no change I decided to change the university. A lot of people say that the Universidad de Chile it’s not the same and it was classicist too, but in comparison with PUC it’s nothing, and here we can see a much real plurality.

It’s my first year so I can’t tell any course is missing because I don’t know yet the career to well, but in my opinion this university gave us the best preparation for the future that we could have, and also we can’t met practically all kind of people at least more than other places like PUC.

have a nice day (:

Technology in our Life

I really like technology but only when we see it like a mean and not a objective itself, and when we are not and addict, for example I like internet and I use it everyday but if I can’t, I will not panic, I think technology has to be a help for us and not a trouble. My favorite piece of technology it’s my stereo, I have it since 3 years now, it was a gift from my parents for finishing school, it’s just great, the sound it’s perfect and have a modern look too, when I arrive to Santiago I bring it with me but it’s in boxes and I don’t unboxing it yet.

Before I used everyday but now, I don’t want to, because y used all my time listen music, when I turned on, the music sound just too perfect and I can’t do anything else, I just listen, so it’s a bad idea to used when I have so many things to do for the university,

It’ a little sad not to used it , but I listen music in my mp3 all day but it’s not the same, the power of the music in a good stereo it’s really different.

Also the last few weeks my celphone has been died and at first I think like my life will be harder without it, but to the contrary, I fell really free, and when someone need to call me it call to my sister or to the house phone, so It’s not a problem really, of course I have to buy a new one or repair the old one but for the past 2 weeks I have a really nice time.

P.S: sorry for the delay

A nice place

Bahia Salada


I have the luck to travel a lot with my family, and that give me the oportunity to visit a lot of different places in our country, one of my favourite places is Bahia Salada, it’s the most beautiful beach I ever know, with a marvellous blue emerald and warmer water, also the white sand make the place like a dream, of course a place like that have also a B-side, the place is far far away to any city, there’s no drinkable water, the most near human placement it’s like 80 kms away, and it’s just a little fishing harbour, and the most annoying problema the wind, the wind appears near to 6 o’clock and blows away everything. So that’s means , if you want to go yo have to bring water and a tent of course, so it’s really far from a confortable place, but it worth all the eforth, I went a couple of times with my uncle the las time was like 3 three years ago, and I stay 1 week, my uncle stay a hole month. A normal day it’s to wake up early like 8 o’ clock have family breakfast , and then I was free to do whatever I want, most of the time I was swimming in the warmer sea, or climbing and falling with my cousin the most high dune in the surroundings after one of the best moment of the day the lunch, was fish or oyster we bought to the fisher, the cheaper and better fish you can buy and in the night the best moment at all we wait to the arise of the moon with the locals in the higher dune, was an spectacular moment in the desert with no lights at all, I have no words to describe the moon, bigger than ever iluminating everything with a blue light, sadly after a few days, my cousin and I have a sunstroke and we have to rest in bed all day and go back to the Santiago.

I really recommend to everyone to go there, and soon, because my ancle go every year and he told me the sad news, that a luxury hotel it’s going to arrive there. So hurry up. Have a nice day (:

Paul Ekman

Was born en 1934 on Washington D.C, and he study psychology at the university of Chicago and New York University. Ekman work on facial expressions, and he has proved that most of facial expressions are universal, and they have a biological origin and not culturally determined like the scientist believes before. That means that a smile means happiness here and everywhere, Paul Ekman prove that with a tribe of Papúa Nueva Guinea, he show different pictures of face with a expression and he discover that all the member of the tribe knew was means this expression, even if he doesn’t know that culture.

A lot of people ridicule his brilliant theory but after years of hard work, he prove that his theory it’s totally truth, and was accepted for all the scientist around the world. Based on this theory he proved also that we can know when someone lie, with just see his facial expression, he make an complex study of microexpression and he become the best liar detector, now he’s so famous that even the FBI and the CIA ask his help in difficult cases , when they need to know if somebody it’s telling the truth. Now we can find a dramatization of his life on the TV show called Lie To Me.

I think it's very importan to learn about this life history, because Paul Ekman even whit his brilliant ideas he was ridcule for other scientist, but he fight, and he work and the proved his point, and I think everyone has to do the same and with efforts reech victory.
