What we celebrate the bicentennial?

Introduction

100 Years Luis Emilio Recabarren wondered what I have to celebrate I as oppressed in this Centenary class? Today, on the 200th anniversary of the Republic, returns to arise the doubt while appear voices claiming: "we have nothing to celebrate".
At the gates of this bicentenary appear voices who question advances in 100 years of history of Chile. Just look critically some of the events this year to divest some lessons that history offers us.

Development

Just as in 1910, Chile arrives at the bicentennial with an outline of deep social inequality. Earthquake showed us that this seismic country not constructs appropriately, showed us negligent of our constructions. Case mine San Jose shows us the precariousness which work as many Chileans to win the daily bread. Our statement to request pardon noted the overcrowding of the inmates in the jails… and now the mapuche theme. The true celebration of the bicentennial would face serious problems that appeared in the first half of the year.
These 200 years of Republican Chile construction never national sovereignty has been exercised by the Chile people. All the constitutions that has taken our country, especially those who have had greater validity, longer duration, have been the result of the imposition of armed force product of civil wars, coups State or military force, in collusion with small circles of political citizenship backs class action. Then what is being held?

Who became independent really?

At least on this date, there are reasons to celebrate. During the 20th century highlights the generation of social movements, from the Worker's Movement to the Pingüina Revolution. There is also assessing the capacity of the Chilean people overcome a dictatorship, despite the traces they leave.
However, the demands of society, have been losing force gradually. This is part of the consequences which left an authoritarian regime, which generated frustrations citizens even indifference to politics and democratic processes.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, some social groups have achieved raise participation to fight for minorities and respect for diversity. In this context stressed the necessity that CSOs restored its relations with the political world.

Conclusions

The great challenge today is look like a democratization axis ratio of the organized social world and construction demand rights and the traditional political world in conflict, have all broken bridges and must learn to recognize as political actors of democracy with its specificities.

Thus, the independence day become an opportunity not only to rest, eat roast and have fun, but to reflect on our history and its future.

My father's dead

A memorable event in my life was my father’s death. While surrounded an immense tragedy, I cannot forget that I started to live and how my life has changed since that time.

In December 1998, it was just before leaving on vacation day. My father traveled to Punta Arenas to rediscover one of his sons from his first marriage that I saw not long ago. It was because I wanted to have a nice souvenir at a significant date for him on Christmas Eve. I was 14 years old.

In Puerto Natales met with old friends who invited him to eat. Suffered a cardio-respiratory arrest because it did not do the diet demanded you and died suddenly.

My brother and his partner found out at the same time. Decided to go to the hospital where friends led to my dad. Took the road and left in car. On Board was a friend of my father and my brother couple's mom. The journey to hospital collides. My brother is invalid and his partner in a coma. Her mother dies and the friend of my father also.

Here in Santiago, my mother suffered from intense depression was pressured by the economic problems and I had to start work very young.

Biographie of the Caribbean

This book is very interesting because it tells stories of the Latin American continent. The low people stories.

"Biography of the Caribe" it was written by German Arciniegas, a colombian, who did not receive the Nobel prize and he did not benefit from some boom. He belonged to the call “Generation of the New ones”, of century XX. German was not novelist, the favorite sort by the readers of our time. The author stood out in the test, also like publisher of magazines, historian and sociologist.

Arciniegas fitted to the people and facts of History instead of to create fabulous fiction personages. It did it like anybody, and that is the merit by which does not have to forget it. Under its pen History stops being raw material of learned manuals and boring, to be territory where the most amazing things happen, those than they would challenge to any prodigal imagination. In addition it reached to make Literature of the test, being around other great ones: Jose Martí, Alfonso Reyes, Octavio Paz, Jose Lezama Lima, Jorge Luis Borges.

In this book the history is not what the great governors and soldiers did, said in another one of its typical postulates. “It is necessary to approach the man of the street, the vulgar creature who comprise of the mighty crowd of the cities or the farmer who lose in Pampas or the mountain”. Instead of “Political History”, the one that founds heroes and kings, it advocated Arciniegas who were written “Natural History”, the one that portrays the soul of the towns from its common people.

The environment: La Aurora en Curacaví.

It is important that we understand the value of land, natural resources, the simple tools that allow us to life and human relations from children. Educate ourselves means respecting the environment and produce food or things that help us to create mutual support between communities. Recycling is an activity used to leverage is not entirely spent, and has greater usefulness of consumerist sense that Chilean society intends to give objects waste material.

My bicycle is bad. To go to College and work use collective locomotion. Frequently walking enough to move me short journeys but I need to fix it soon to go out and take a walk with my friends. There are very large and beautiful places to make entertaining, rides as the Quinta normal, forest park, old neighborhoods and populations generally have corners without cars to travel with peace of mind.

According to my experience we learn to respect our surroundings when we are conscientious of the world that we constructed common.

I lived in Curacaví and there I participated in an ecological group, in which we made cycles of cinema and historical.

Also, we held the festival summer of music in a field and cleaning of the town, since the municipality does not contribute with constant cultural campaigns.

This group for many efforts to follow in this way in diverse directions. Along with giving useful information to the community, factories have become of orchard with children, those that teach the value of the nature of funny way.

It is indispensable that in invisible communes for the great capitals exists activities to be educated altogether. I am of the people who do not consume in excess, that obtains things of the own creation and if there are sufficient or no technical resources, use my body to move the ideas, that is to say, treatment always to obtain the tools to include me in some space of support to political by societies that act consequently and so it really benefits to them. To our “Santiago” a right and equitable system needs to him. An example of it would be to stop renewing cars every year and worrying about the education.

The VOA report

The VOA report on health addresses the importance of sleep as a vital need for a better learning. Researchers say that time bedtime rules can improve the development of the child. The hours of sleep are indispensable in early childhood, children to sleep al least 11 hours daily, adolescents and young adults for nine hours or more and adults between 7 or 8 hours. Sleep necessary helps both physical activities such as mental, it must also include NAPs.

Cerro Chena

In Santiago there are many fun places. But there are wonderful places like that Cerro Chena, to mean runa simi: puma en estado de celo. I’ recommend this place because is amazing your nature and sight. When I went in there I loved at first sight. In this mountain you can imagine that you see a cougar. You can take the bus in the street Tarapacá, in the center of Santiago. The price is economic.

It is hill located between the municipalities of San Bernardo and Calera de Tango. Part of a large rocky cord and is located to the west of the commune of San Bernardo.

Chena Hill will be Recreational Park. The Natural Park Cerro Chena to benefit inhabitants of South and 13 communes of the capital with sports, picnicking, areas of meditation and terraces. Also, a center of environmental education, where they will teach on animal and plant species of the sector is installed. The initiative will incorporate the educational concept outdoor and allow encourage behaviours and habits of concern for the environment.

Well, this place is recommended for its beauty and closeness, apart from being one of the places in that struggle for the preservation of nature and aware of it usage.
