Questions and answers

What is your opinion about buying instead of adopting pets?

I think that buying pets, sometimes, is something superficial, is to say to improve your image with an expensive purebred pet. That is not to say that people who buy pets are necessarily bad owners, it is just my perception. Anyway, no matter if you have a pet purchased or adopted, the important thing is that you take care of them.

What is your opinion about  climate change?

I consider that climate change is a very big problem that we must face today. I understand that the authorities don’t want to cause alarm or social and economic imbalance, but simplify the problem is not the best solution, it is not a solution, at all. The climate change effects are undeniably an global urgency, so people and specially authorities have to deal with. 

What is your opinion about cloning?

When I think about cloning, the first thing that comes to mind is “human want to manipulate absolutely everything”. Even though I suppose I should not be surprised, I feel a little more disappointed. Today, everything is considered as completely replaceable, since a thing to a person. Also, I don’t understand why we would like to have more people in a overpopulated world.

What is your opinion about the legalisation of abortion?

I consider that the legislation of abortion is something difficult to discuss, because we are in Chile, a conservative country. I think that the problem is the notion of what “life” means, and what we will consider as “valuable life”. For me, is a hypocrisy that people defends the life of a no sentient creature but kill and eat others sentient creatures (animals). I am in favor of legal abortion. 

Loves

Hi, today I will write about a topic that I don’t like so much: first love. It sounds cheesy, especially if we think of our first girlfriend or boyfriend. If I remember my first boyfriend, I don’t feel anything, because I never loved him. 

I think that love is more than the first person that you liked, is something more pure, peaceful, stable… for example, I have been attracted to several people in my life, but I have fallen in love a few times (maybe). 

I rather write about fraternal love as my first love. It is hard to choose to one or some people of my family, because I have always been very close to my family. Anyway, my first loves are:

My grandmother, Maria Isabel. She is a very important person for me, she is not perfect and she has made many mistakes, but she is a beautiful person with me, my mom and my brothers.

Also, my mother, Consuelo, is the best. I admire her a lot because I think that it was not easy being a mother at 18 years old. She has been a good mother despite the difficulties.

And my twin sister, Francisca. I consider her as my first love too because we were born together and I have always had a special affection for her.

I know it was love, and it is love, because it has felt simple, natural, unconditional.

Maritime archeology

Hi all, it's a little difficult to write about a postgraduate course, because I not even know if I will finish this major. But if I graduate from public administration, I think that I will consider taking a postgraduate course... I have not thought yet about what. It could be of a subject that interested me before public administration, such as: history, anthropology, archaeology, education, etc. Before deciding to study public administration I really wanted study anthropology-archaeology (at Universidad de Chile university), at that time I thought study maritime archeology abroad (maybe in Mexico, Argentina or Spain,
among other options), so I think that after graduating from this major I will take a course about archaeology or maybe anthropology. I like archaeology because I consider that discipline help conserve part of the history that should not be so undervalued. 
The underwater archaeological sites are a valuable source of historical information because, thanks to the lack of oxygen, they usually keep material that has disappeared in the deposits located on the mainland. In Chile could be interesting to study, for example, the Moais that are submerged underwater in Isla de Pascua. Also, we have a very long coast and maritime territory. So, I would like to study about it abroad or in Chile, like a part-time course because I also have to work, obviously
