Education

My experience during the high school with respect the subject it was positive in the sense of having had a great quantity of subjects that allowed me to be a more integral person and to know all the professional areas, with elective of specialization with a quality in general positive.

In relation with the teachers of the college, my experience was also positive in terms of learning, but the relation that appears in the classrooms was very asymmetric for what was not leaving space for the creation of debates and a mutual learning.

With respect to the technology that existed in the high school, it was regular because to the fact that the new technologies were implemented but I couldn't to enjoy them.

The education that I received during the college was determinant because the quality of of this one influences my expectations for the future to be a professional. Also it is important the tools and the wide knowledge to be able to decide the area indicated for me.

The authorities must implement policies of improvement of the quality of the education, with a better formation for the teachers, more motivations for the pupils and a system of public education it deigns for the Chilean society.

Every person has a great responsibility with his education according to the motivations of life that has, but also there exists the factor of the possibilities and monetary capacities to obtain a quality education, for it a social inequality exists with respect to the education that receives.

Now, I believe that the saying "when the student is ready the teacher appears" is true and means that while exist people motivated to learning, the teachers take the role of traspasing the knowledge and educating.

Transantiago: Before and after...

Transantiago is the new system of public transport implemented in the government of Michelle Bachelet. Transantiago it consisted of a change of the tours, of the buses and the forms of financing that these had.

In the fist time, the system had many problems with respect the wrong planning of the same system, with wrong and few tours, lack of buses in traffic and with wrong form of financing that left negative balances to the system.

In comparison with the old system of public transport, Transantiago presents improvements with respects to buses wuith better technology, the system of payment is better and the stopbus is more tidy.

The disadvantages that Transantiago presents are the quantity of transfer that it is necessary to realize, the buses are more saturated of people, and present more quantity of evasions of payment for the users.

Now, in comparison of the system since it began with how is now, according to my experience, it has improved substantially with respect to the mentioned points: tours, saturation of people, financing, etc. But many low points stay for improving that the authorities have not taken them measured adapted to overcome the problems.

Finally, the solutions to improve the problems of the Transantiago must pass for an extensive study of the system, with qualified professionals who realize a good diagnosis of the situation, then to realize a correct for a system of worthy transport for the community.

A country I would like to visit...

The country I would like to visit is Holland because it’s a nice place and its society is really interesting. Their society is very modern and cosmopolitan with a bohemian metropolis and the people have higher levels of education and acculturation.
My purpose is to go to Holland for a university postgrade and then work a few years and get work experience. With the money earned to travel throughout Europe and parts of the Middle East.
The information about Holland I have is that Holland is a country that is under sea level, hence its name is Netherlands. So they have developed a large engineering system to overcome the problems this has caused.
They also have great social services like education, health, safety, so that the whole society benefits from them and do not discriminate on its posibility to obtain these services. This is achieved thanks to high tax rates that give the State.
I would like to learn their language, their culture and why not get a girlfriend from Netherlands.
About what kind of work I would do, I wish it were the type of investigated the social sciences and world economies.

But, how does Ulrich relate the theme of the terrorist attempted with to the neoliberal system and his decadence?
Beck talk about the premises of the neoliberal system, of a market with free competition, with labor flexibility, a State with low intervening power and under the trinity deregulation-liberalization-privatization. With this, Beck, accomplish an analogy on the labor flexibility existent in the security of the airports of USA provoking one hardworking qualified in hours and removed of his position in six months.
With globalization, neoliberalism is expanded, as also this sentiment of insecurity in all of the spaces is expanded. Without brushing aside the cost-reducing consequences and politics that this drags system along. Existing a thought accordingly and to not to be a change of possible system.
But Beck believes than if a possible change to the neoliberal model saying that you are not in the national protectionism exists . What we needed is an ample conception of the policy that be in conditions to regulate the potential of crisis and inherent conflicts to the world economy.
