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.

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.

  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...
