My Beloved Faculty

The current situation in my faculty (Social Science Faculty) is really weird. We’re in elections right now, and all the people are sticking posters of their respective political groups, and the entire place is full of papers and stuff. The canteen it’s used as a study room, so you can lunch and study at the same time. The sociology degree- as the others of the faculty, I mean psychology, anthropology and education- have lots of problems with its program, because it is very flexible, and it changes all the years. And etcetera, I would continue lot of lines more writing about it.
The library needs lots of improvements, the internet system too, the teacher’s evaluation system, and so and so.
The first steps to dealing with this situation is that all the community of the faculty discusses what he wants to change, then change the university, then the Chilean education, then the world (I wish).
These improvements would help to change the society, because, if the people have better education, they can get better social and economic conditions of life. In the faculty it would mean, degrees that are functional to the society, and not to the market as today. If we want to get this, we need to fix the degree’s program, the teacher’s evaluation system, the study room, get more books, and the only way we get that is getting state financing, so we can get what we want, and what we need, and no what enterprises want and need.
So, I guess that’s all, see you next week

Bye.

The Coup D'état in Honduras

Hello, today I’m going to talk about the Coup d’état in Honduras, I will describe the situation first, and then I’ll tell you my opinion about Micheletti and then Zelaya. Then I’ll tell you what I think it’s going to happen in Honduras.
In Honduras, on June 29th, in the 2009, the military forces of Honduras arrested the president of this country, whose name is Manuel Zelaya. He was militant of the Liberal Party of Honduras. He was arrested, because he was adopting politics from Chavist regime, this mean, Zelaya called for a vote for constitutional reform, which was declared illegal by bodies such as Parliament and the Supreme Court. Before doing this constitutional reform he was arrested, and Micheletti took the presidency of the country.
Now I’m going to tell you my opinions about Micheletti and then Zelaya. First, I think that Micheletti is a marionette of the interests of the money power, and the right wing of the Honduran politics. I mean, they don’t want to lose power by this new constitution (understanding that Zelaya wanted to turn the constitution to a “more popular” way). And about Zelaya … I think it’s only a common liberal opportunist, that wanted to stay more time with the power, I don’t think he had good intentions by being president.
I think, that Honduras will stay with Micheletti for a while, and then he will leave the power, and he’ll be punished by his own political mates because of the coup d’état when their interests will be satisfied. I don’t know, I’m not optimistic about it, and I don’t care about Zelaya, I think the only thing that’s important right now, is the people who is fighting against this fact government on Honduras.
