Hello dear readers, I hope you are having a great week. In this blog, I will talk about a topic that I like very much, which is soccer. But from an unfortunate perspective that this has, as is the violence in stadiums. Soccer is a sport that was institutionalized in England with the formation of the first Football Association on the planet in 1863. However, there are antecedents about that its origin goes back to the II and III century B.C., where ancient Chinese military played it, but without the rules, with which it is known today. In our country, soccer arrived at the end of the XIX century, to the city of Valparaíso, brought by English immigrants who with impressive matches managed to enchant the locals. Shortly after this happened, a journalist and two English merchants formed the Football Association of Chile with its respective competition on June 19th, 1895. And in this way, the first clubs in the country emerged: Santiago Wanderers, Santiago National, Rangers and other te...

Hello dear readers, I hope you are having a great week. In this blog I will tell you about how I came to study filmmaker and television. I studied in a school in the Quinta Normal commune, which was considered one of the best in the area. However, it was also considered one of the strictest and the place where students could not express themselves freely. Due it was a Catholic school, and the owners of the school had republican tendencies. All my life I went to the same school because as I said before, it was one of the best in the commune and the schools of excellence like the "Instituto Nacional" were far away from my home. It is worth mentioning that I was one of the students with the best average of my class, I had all the capabilities to be a great doctor, engineer, lawyer, etc. Even the school counselor told me that I had the capacity for everything. When I graduated in 2020, many people told me that I had to study. Among them my mother, who, was obsessed with t...

Religion: Is religion taught or imposed in Chile?

Imagen
  Hello dear readers, I hope you are having a great week. In this blog, I will talk about religion and what I think about teaching it in schools. In Chile, religion classes have been taught since colonial times, and this was maintained after our country became independent from the Spanish royalty. At the beginning of the 20th century, with the promulgation of the 1925 constitution, Chile became a secular state. Therefore, the teaching of religion in schools was abolished within the official curriculum. This was maintained until the dictatorship, which in 1983 promulgated Supreme Decree 924, which reinstated the teaching of religion in our country's schools. On the other hand, when I was in school, I constantly asked myself if it was necessary to have that subject, because it bored me a lot and I considered that it was a filler class to keep us in school longer. I was also against the idea of teaching religion in educational establishments because I believe that beliefs should...

Healthcare system: Decent health

  Hello dear readers, I hope you are having a great week. In this blog, I will tell you about the Chilean healthcare system and what I think about it. The Chilean healthcare system is composed of two systems, one of private character called ISAPRE and the other is a public insurance called FONASA, both systems have coexisted since the times of the dictatorship, however as a result of the protests of October 2019 and other events have been in constant questioning, due to poor care, endless waiting lists, lack of medicines, among other problems. But, what are all these deficiencies due to? First, the self-management model of the establishments, the mechanisms in which Fonasa resources are transferred to private clinics and the impartiality with which budgets are made each year for the health systems.  Second, the majority of the population in Chile is treated in the public system, because they do not have the resources to be treated in the private system, generating a collapse i...

Politics: We should be thankful for having the right to vote.

Since our republic was established as an independent country, the way of electing authorities has been changing, it is true that at the beginning only men of the wealthiest sectors had the right to vote, but that was changing little by little until today, where everyone over 18 years of age, regardless of gender, have the right to vote. However, in these times when more people have this right, they do not take advantage of it and do not do it, affecting mainly our democracy. First of all, every vote is important, it is unbelievable, but many times just one is capable of making a big difference. Secondly, voting means power, there are many countries around the world that do not have the right to vote, because they are under dictatorships or absolute monarchies, so we should take advantage that we have the power to elect our authorities. Thirdly, if we do not vote, we may run the risk of not having good authorities or the ones that best represent our ideals. Finally the vote is relevant,...
