Post 7: Environmental Conflicts


Hello hommies,
Today, this post will be about environmental conflicts. There is so much to explain but I will try to make it short. Today in Chile there's one particular conflict that has become very popular -sadly- because of the amount of pollution: Quintero-Puchuncaví's bay.

Right now I'm doing a report of it and the scenario is impressive: first, media exaggerates the physical scenario. There is no oil in the streets or a black giant cloud above the town (not in the day at least). I have been in Las Ventanas twice because I have had to interview people who live there, and the way media shows it makes such an awful impression that the economy of the town has dropped a lot because people don’t want to go there and get sick.

Then, there is the government: they don’t offer a proper solution. They gave a solution once: but it only helped industries to contaminate even more. Isn’t that stupid?

Inhabitants have normalized the contamination so much that they don’t think that they get sick because contamination and most of them want industries because they give work and recreational activities. I’m working hard on this report so I can help them.

I do know other environmental conflicts: forest “El Panul”, “Tierra amarilla”, river mouth of the Itata’s river, etc. I really hope that the government can give them a proper solution, or they will end with the destruction of the environment and violence between people.

    I think that this is a very hard problem nowadays. As a natural resources engineer, how will you resolve this problem?

    Is so sad that media always exaggerates everything, at least it helps people to be aware of what is happening, even if it is an axaggeration

Post 1: A country I'd like to visit

Hi homies👋😄, Today I'd like to talk about a country I'd like to visit✌. Honestly, I'm not good at travelling because I tend to miss my home so much; besides, I don't like the trip itself because I get bored and tired. But if I had to choose one, I'd like to visit Japan. As I told you in the introduction, I love anime and videogames a lot, and Japan is the ideal country to travel since is the biggest anime and videogame producer in the world. Also, Japan is very clean and has beautiful japanese gardens that you can visit with your family with amazing old temples related with their religion.   I won't like to stay there living tho, I think I'd stay for a couple of months, but i don't like Japan that much because I don't like their sexist and based-on-looks culture. I like Chile very much even with its bad things.

Post 3 : Movies

Hi homies! How are you? Hope you are doing great! Today's topic is movies . I'm not good at watching movies to be honest, I'm a series person. But when I do, I prefer horror ones . That doesn't mean I only watch those kind of movies... as long as the trama catches me, then it will work for me. I don't have a favourite actor/actress, but I like Jason Momoa very much! I want to watch his last movie 'Aquaman' but it hasn't been released yet, so I'm excited for watching it soon. Moving on, my favourite director is Guillermo del Toro . He is an spanish director who has directed amazing films like 'El laberinto del fauno', 'Mamá', among others. His last hit was 'The shape of water'. Not my favourite, but the makeup is great.   Finally, my favourite movie is Mulan . I like it a lot because it has taught me how to be brave in a world of men. Also, the soundtrack is amazing, characters are unique, and makes you cry, l

Post 4: Videogames

Hi homies! Today I'm going to talk about a topic that was won my heart in many ways: videogames. I have played videogames since I was a little girl. It's important for me to tell you that I learned to read thanks to videogames . I had about 4 years old when I recived my first computer, and it became my first console because I played many videogames on it (after that was Wii, Nintendo DS and Playstation 4. All of these consoles belong to my brother, because 'girls don't play videogames' but I am the one who uses them the most (even my brother says so)).  I like them because they are interactive, you are the one who mold it. You chose when it begins and when it ends.  There are many types of genres: adventure, action, sports, race, puzzle, horror, and a big etc. I don't have any favourite genre. But when I was a teenager I used to play a lot of horror and action videogames because most of them had hidden stories like creepypastas. The last game I played w
