blogging experience

The blog experience was really  fun, it's a new way to improve our english through a web site, that makes this activity educational but funny.

In my opinion, this activity it was so useful to improve my english, because I have to practice my wording skills, and make sentences in a coherent way. I have learnd a lot of new vocabulary, and some gramatical rules that are so useful to practice my english habilities in all ways.

About my opinion, I think this activity it's really important and useful for us, in the process of learning english. Maybe we can do more oral practices, because I think it's really importante too.

My ideal job

I would like to job for an international organization, as the ONU.I think it would be so interesting and exciting to work in other country representing mine. Meeting new people, helping differents kind of cultures and society,working to solve global problems..,all that I want to do at future.To work in the ONU, it is necessary to be diplomatic, to be conscious and sensitive about social problems,and to have leadership qualities. Another skills are related to the intellectual area, as speaking in other languagues and knowing about economics, history, science, manegment, politics and public administration. I'm not sure that if I would be good at this job, becouse I know, I don't have all the necessary skills. But it's something that I really want, and when I commit myself to do something, I always succeed. To work in the ONU it's so difficult, and not everyone can do it. There are differents areas where you can develop yourself as a professional, and the most important request it's to have a high prefessional level.

My favorite subject

My favorite subject at the University is "Elementos del Derecho". This subject is taught by the lawyer Sonia Doren, who at present works in the comptroller office too. I love that subject, because I think it is very interesting and usefull to the "real world". Law can be used in all human life areas, and it helps us to organize the society, and the relations between their members.Well, I have learnt a lot of things, such as what a law is, what it is used for, what a regulation is, which regulations exist in our law.I have learnt about people rights too, such as the name, the nationality, the addres,the patrimony, and others. Now, we are studiying the criminal law, and I still think that it is the funniest and the most interesting subjects in my career.

Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?

First, I'm gonna speak about the video. Ken Robinson talk about creativity and education. He said that education is important for everyone. "Education leads to a future that we can not understand", we are being educated for a future that we don't know. About creativity, he said that it's as important in education as literacy. Kids are very creative, their are not fair to being wrong. He don´t said that to being wrong it's the same thing that to being creative. By the time, when children become adults, most kids have lost that capacity. National education sistems educate people away of their creative skills. Robinson said that education sistems are based on the idea of academic ability. He thinks that we should rethink the fundamental principles of education. I agree with Ken Robinson. I think that education sistems should value all kind of skills, not only the academic one.Children should be educated in their entirety so that they can face the uncertain future.

The best in your area

I chose Claus von Stauffenberg, because I think he is one of the most brave and admirable man in the history. For the people who don't know him, he was a German army officer and one of the leading members of the failed 20 july plot of 1944 to kill dictator Adolf Hitler. Undoubtedly, von Stauffenberg is a man who change the history of his country, he challenged to Hitler and all his power, and proved that not all Germany was agree with nazis and their dictator. He had so many qualities, he was brave, strong, intelligent, honorable and an idealist man that always fighted for freedom and justice. I admire him, because obviusly reasons. He challenged one of the most powerfull man in the history of the world. He knew that he could fail, so he was going to die, but he never surrender.

My career

Public Administrations it's a career aim to public service. It constists in the preparation of students to lead people to getting the state objetives. A public administrator works in public institutions or private companies with a social character. Well, I chose this career, because I disagree with how politics and justice are managed. I think that the state and the justice should be stronger about delinquency and other social problems, and I want to work in the public apparatus to do something about it. I love this career, specially its multidisciplinary character, because I can learn about a lot of things, including law, institutions history, english (language), etc. The only that I hate about it, it's to have to study maths. I really hate it, i don't know to do anything!. For the future, i just hope to finish this career and to be a good professional. I really hope to make a change in the way politics are done.
