Post 8: Personal Opinions


Hi hommies,
Today the topic is about personal opinions. My teacher wrote about immigrants and I think that is a good topic to talk about since is a national issue that we must solve.

My mom told me that she had never seen a black skinned person until she became older. She remembers her father talking about black people when he travelled to Ecuador, but nothing else. Now she sees them every day.

According to the news, there has been indeed a raise of immigration in Chile.

There are many problems with immigration: jobs (illegal jobs, low wages), lack of a good health system (well, this is for everyone isn’t it?), racism, etc. I always wonder myself…they come here looking for a better life and this is how we treat them? I feel sorry about them. How horrible can life be in their country to give everything for trying luck here in Chile? There are persons who are teachers, doctors, lawyers, and they are in the streets asking for food. I find this a terrible situation. Most them demand a regulation for immigration, and the government does nothing.

What I hate the most, is racist Chileans. They think that immigrants come here to take “their jobs” while by law (Work code), only 15% of workers can be immigrants. Also, they are mean only because their skin colour, if they were Americans or Europeans, I assure you this kind of treatment wouldn’t exist.

Hopefully there are non-Governmental Organizations helping with this issue.

    I got an uncle who lived in most countries of South America because of his job and he told me once that most foreign nanys where teachers and nurses waiting for their jobs permit.

    I think we (as a society) must change our mind about inmigrants, recism takes us nowhere.

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 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...
