Comunicación social para la paz (Guillermo Blanco) Code: 301.243B638

This book talks about a very important issue in our daily lives that is the communication. Human beings are made to communicated with the others, and depending how this communication is developed, we could have a better coexistence, in other words a peaceful community, in which there are respect for the others in their way of thought, and liberty to choose. Now a days our society has change the meaning of peace, for example now we can say that our country is in peace, beacuse we are not in a war. In this way giving a millitary meanig, since if we are not in war we are in peace, and that is the total opposing view that we can have about peace.
In addition, to have a point of view about the events that happened in our society the information is an essential point, since from there we get our oppinion, that is why the choose of the information sources is delicated and important. Most of the information that is given, it is processed by some people who print their personal interests there, when the informative media it supposed to show us the reality just like it is.
Personally I think, the most powerful relation that is showed in the book is the relation between population and the media, and how the media can manipulate our minds, giving us the wrong information in some cases. Furthermore, that is an attack to our liberty to free thought, because, how we can give an opinion if our bases are wrong?.
As the example in the beginning if we think that we live in a society with peace, we are worng in terms of the real meaning of peace. In our country our liberty to think and then choose are violate, because our information bases are influenced by the opinion of the people who want to control our thoughts. Therefore there is no peace in terms of an effective communication.
Taking this topic to my life, I remember that I never knew that the case of the swan dies, in Valdivia (2004), was so important, since that event affected our ecosystem, and moreover affected the rights of people there. We lieve in a supposed democratic country in which the goberment respect the diversity of opinions that people have, and the decisions that the citizens made. But in that case democracy, and the right to chose did not exist. As well in my case either for me, since I could not give a true opinion, because of I never knew the truth.

my visual DNA

For me the DNA test guess correctly in almost every point of the way in that I am, for example when it said that I'm quiet and relax, that is absolutely true, and also when it said that I'm homely, that's totally true too. I like be in my house and feel cozier, some times when I'm out side for a very long time, I start to miss my family anda my dogs, I mean my home; and I think... I can't believe that I'm so childish.
Among other things that the test said about my personality is that I like to share with my friends, and enjoy a nice conversation. In addition it said that I can see and appreciate the many ways in that art is expressing, I think that is also true.
However, refering to the test I would said that it was very fun, and funny because of the pictures that it shows that were quite illustrative, specially the ones in the section "gross", they were all definitely gross!!. Well, besides that, I like the way in that the description it shows, very precise.
All in all, it was very fun to do the test, I'll definitely recommend it, and I'm goig to spread a comment of this kind of test.

My winter break

This winter vacations I had lots of time to rest, and do whatever I wanted. The thing that I make sure to do was rest and sleep as much as I can, and being relax. Despite of my desire to do anything, I had to adapt my self to the requirements of my home, which are clean the house and do the cooking, with a few or nothing help of my brother, thats because my family there is too much chauvinism, and as the proverb said " if you can't get on with them, just join to them.." (or something like that), otherwise, I'll start a fight that never ends. So on weekends I just run away from my house (just joking). Also this vacations I have time to draw and paint with oil, I painted my boyfriend and me kissing each other, is a great piece of art, I think is a "master piece", since I did it with all my love, :p. To sum up my winter break, I would say that finally was relax.
Ah! and I saw Pancha sing in the karaoke the song "basket case" from Green day, and that was absolutely the funniest thing  that I did during vacations, she is a great singer, go! pancha go! wooo.
