hAAPPY hOLIDAYS

Hello everybody, today I want to tell you about an important national topic of the present, it is the Mapuche conflict, and how I see it related with the last national holidays. This thing made an important pressure on what suppose to would be the perfect celebrations of 200 years of independence of our country. Beyond what I think, I want to tell you what I notice of this in my daily life, I mean, on the ordinary things from celebrate with my family, go out with my friends, till watching television and news. I made this decision because in my opinion it isn’t lower that the media still manipulating all the information of this case, and this is affecting to us all. They are lying us, and we started to care less and less about the Mapuche conflict, misplaced for the stupid news of showbiz. The media is hiding important information and just there is it’s lies. I don’t know what are they hiding with accuracy, but I’m really sure that I don’t care about if Malene Olivarí is a lesbian, or drug addict, I’m waiting to know something that really care to the Chilean people. If my opinion sounds a little exaggerated, I attribute this to the same myth that the media created arround the facts, and it have the consequence of also a nocive group created to itself.

Well, I haven’t answered all the questions of the present task, because I consider very important to talk about the media work, I believe is so important to discuss more of it. But I’m writting for a mark, so I want to answer some of them. I believe if the Mapuche people are judged without the transparency that they and the nation need, they are being judged absolutely unfairly. But this unfairly judgement has been doing above all the goverments, no matter the wing, always the conflict has been dilated through the years, without gain any real solution. I can't say if Piñera did or not a good job, I only can say that things haven't changed till today, is the same as always. I am only waiting for something... something good.

Flower strike

Hello everybody, today I want to tell you about many things related to our university. Well, for what I have to start? First, the topic of this time is not very clearly-defined for me, so I will write some things that maybe could be useful to comment. So, I believe one of the most important things that happened during the last month in the university was the student organization and their strike to improve the education in the country. In our career, I think the directing ones have managed to make theirselves heard, and get succesfully a way to organize the force the movement. We still have the problem of an insufficient participation of all the student body, but already there are much path covered.

That's because we had a assembly many times, and discuss what we want of the education in Chile, what we wait of this, and what we specifically could be real, I mean, what of all those year of dreaming would come true finally.

Ok, the part of the student organization is there and at work. Many ideas result of the gatherings, and then, we make an unconscious slogan of fighting, a protest to get the promise of a top-quality education on Chile. Now, I wonder how we are protesting? How do the strike goes? I think is terrible. In our career is so much difficult to make people go to the strike in the streets, is quite a miracle if a few students go there. This is one problem, and the other is that some students think that violence is necessary to get changes. I think this is true, but there are many ways of violence, I believe that burn things on the streets and a chemistry fight between the students and policemen are definitely unecessary.

We have to find out another new way to make ourselves be heard. We could think in protest with art, maybe...

Love, Mary.
