Books and Reading

I‘ve never been very enthusiastic about riding, I like but I’m not a fan of book like other people I know. When I was a child I read the books for the school , and I enjoy some of this but in high school I read really good books like “ A orillas del río piedra me senté y lloré” and “ El Zahir” by Paulo Cohelo, “ Tengo miedo torero” by Pedro Lemembel, “  Cien años de Soledad” by Gabriel García Marquez or “ Crime and Punishment ”  by Fiódor Dostoievski.  The books that I most like are novels, but there is an exception because one of my favorites book is “The Little Prince”, a book with a lot of metaphor and a rewarding message. Now that I’m in university I don’t have enough time to read other things different from my career. The last book that I read was the popular “Fifty Shades of Grey” it was recommended for my sister and she borrowed me the first one of the trilogy. I read this book in three or four days, I can’t stop reading because the story catches all my attention . It’s about an eccentric man, he is very rich and handsome but has a kind of weird and hide sexual life,.He met an innocent and clumsy literature student and they start a special relationship. I would recommend this book for women that want to read an interesting story that will keep you involved and entertained for a while. 

Depression in pregnancy may affect children's mental health, study finds

 

This article is about a research from University of Bristol that investigates the relation between women that are depressed in pregnancy and the effects of that in the fetus.  It’s was a longitudinal study and they work with a sample of more than 4.500 women and their adolescent children. As the result of this study, the researcher found that there is an important relation with the high levels of cortisol hormone and the develop of the fetus on the womb, this hormone is present in persons with depression. The effects of this could be that children who had a mother with depression during the pregnancy develop a depression in adolescence. This results are very relevant because supports the idea that the mental health must be care before the birth of the child.  The author of this article thinks that this results has an important implication for the improve of intervention which must be during the pregnancy to avoid the effects on the child.  Also the author says that this research gives evidence to start investigate more about the risk of some psychiatric illness that could be transmitted from the mother to their child. So the main idea is that helps women pregnancy is not only for cares her mental health , it also  will help to prevent the risk of the child to develop a problem in the future.

Japanese Animation

Anime is the name to call the Japanese animation dedicated to child entertainment and is very famous in the occidental world. In my childhood was very popular and you could watch on national channels TV.  In these days, on TV you can’t find easily anime or any other cartoon programme, but if you have satellite TV or cable TV you will find anime. One of the more famous anime is Dragon Ball; this is an anime that fascinate child and adult people, and also girls.

When I was a child there’s no so much of anime on TV, but there was one that I like: Sailor moon.  I can’t remember a lot of things about this anime but it was about five girls with powers and with a kind of double life. They should fight against the enemy’s and I liked that they had nice clothes.  Also I watched others anime less popular like DN Angel and Elfen Lied. As well in those days I listened some Japanese songs, the only group I remember is Larc n’ Ciel but I listened just one or two times.

Well I think that anime didn’t influence my life in any way it was just for fun, but I know people that love the Japanese culture and one of their dreams is to visit Japon. The  Anime gets memories to me about moments and people from another stage of my life.

I'd like to know...

Say a country that I’d love to know is a difficult question to me, because I like so much travel and there are a lot of places that I'd like to know , so choose one is complicated. But certainly one of the countries’ that I would like to know some day is Australia because I’ve heard about the beautiful landscapes, the crystalline water of the beaches and the incredible fauna of the island.

If I went there I think there are two things that I’d like to do. The first thing is have a relax time on the beach, walk all through the sand, swim on the sea and get some sun lying in a beach chair. The other one thing is to visit the amazing corals and reef, and if it’s possible I’d love to scuba and see the diversity of animals in the sea.  Another thing is to know Melbourne, I‘ve heard that is a beautiful city where you can have a lot of fun especially on the night.

Also I’ve heard that Australia it’s a very cosmopolitan country, that means that there are a lot of people from different cultures I think that is a good point because you have the opportunity to learn different custom and language. The bad point is that Australia is very expensive, so I think the best option is “work and travel” program or tray to get a work visa and look for a job by yourself. 

Television

Television is certainly one of the most massive means of communication above all because the access  is very easy and cheap.  That’s why TV is an important source to gain the attention of a lot of people and that’s why the contents should be choosing very carefully. I think that everybody has the right of choose what wants to watch on TV, and it’s really important the diversity of programs and channels to cover all the interest. The good points of television is that you can have a lot of information about a different things , places or persons, in real time and from different resources like the new channels. Another good point is that you can have fun with the TV shows, movies, series, etc. So the TV can be a way to share with other people too. The bad point of TV is that sometimes you can find content that is not for child and is hard to take control of that, and another point is that some people get a kind of addicted of TV and replace the real communication for the TV.

I think Chilean TV is so monotonous and there is a lack of diversity contents, that’s mean that you watch always the same things in all the channels. I like the TV show with interest contents, like that programs dedicated to look into some relevant thematic; and for the entertainment I like the good operas above all the Brazilian ones.  To improve Chilean TV should be necessary more programs with interest and varied topics, and also there’s a miss of culture on TV.
