Talks Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity

Do we value ours bodies? Does the people knows there capacities? Or just we’ve born to be restricted for other simplifier minds? Ken Robinson says that children are an extremely creative people, but the public education system limits them. You can’t be a writer or a musician in this world; you have to do what this evil system needs. The industrialization has ordered our priorities for their self conservation. So, the education system reproduces tools for system convenience. Our brains has been development in one area only. Arts, or other creativity activities are obsolete in our minds, because we’ve been educated to serve others interest, and not our owns. But in this times, where global warming is in each corner, perspectives are changing. Maybe we have to do a change in ourselves, and think in create something, and don’t produce things. I think that difference in this thing, maybe the value that we attach them. Are children the future? Or just a reproduction of the past?

My favorite subject this term

My favorite subject this semester is psychopathology. This subject is TEACHED by Luis Alvarado and Jose Luis Rossi. The first one is psychiatrist, and whit him we have seen some patients on the Salvador’s Hospital. In the other corner, is Jose Luis Rossi who is a psychologist and teach us some things more academics about this subject, whit him we don’t see any patients; however we learn a lot about his experience on this field. I like this subject because I see in the practice how the personality disorders and structures are working. In this semester, I’ve learn that normality it’s not a healthy parameter necessarily, even more, this factor could be trigger for a psychopathology whose name is “normopathy”. This affection talks about people that it can’t be “abnormal”; it just can’t be act different to the social rules. Other things that I’ve learn this semester are some important distinctions between delirious and hallucinations.

The futureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Where do I going to live in a few years? Will I do a master’s? Who knows (well, this is a rhetoric question, obviously I should know something about it). I don’t have any big plan for the future; I would like to be alive. I don’t know if it’s going to be a great future, or just a common one, but I will like to be studying for many many years, maybe do a master’s on gender. I’m going to study other career in this faculty, probably Anthropology. Personally I would like to spend the time with someone I care. In five more years I’m going to buy a house, in a place quiet, but in the middle town, something very difficult in this times. I wish that I can help to others with their problems being a psychologist, try to make a difference in their lives. Something like that will make me happy. And that’s for now, this could change, who knows, I just one to sleep peacefully in the future.

The best teacher on my field

Jose Luis Rossi is the best teacher of psychology, because he tries to make you understand everything about his class. Well, his specialty is the psychopathology and he knows everything about it. In his class, he doesn’t use any additional technologic resources like power points. More teachers should be like him, because he tries that every one of the students understands his subject, and what he is talking about. Always tries to join the theory with the practical, and that’s why his classes are so entertainment and compressible, because he has so many histories about his own patients that makes you want to graduate rapidly to have experiences like he does. He enjoys what he does, and that’s transmitting in his class. That as an important point for any teacher, that he loves what he is doing, and put his best efforts in there teaching. Finally, I don’t find any photo of him. But its okay, what is real important is what he is talking about.

My career

I’m studying psychology because I like to work with people, to be involved with others and train to make their life better. Psychologists contribute to society trying to help people when they feel that their behaviors are not the best, or when they don’t feel comfortable with their thoughts and emotions. In the future I’m going to need to have a better curriculum, because a psychologist needs to be getting better every day, because this discipline it’s in continuous expanding, so you have to study more to obtain more degrees. In this era, any professional has to do a magister or a PhD in some specific areas of there discipline.
My favorite subject in psychology, at this moment because it can change, is psychopathology because this covers an area very interesting, about the personality disorders and there treatment. But the subject that I thing that makes a difference with the others careers, is the continuous questioning about the “normality”, and how we conceive the human being. In particular, this last sentence about how is conceived the “humanity” is the real deal in psychology. You have to understand that are many points of view in the career that are not complementary. So, every point of view it’s a political manifestation of power. Neutrality doesn’t exist in science. Are we a science? Or just a political instrument that adapts people better to the capitalist system? Promote dissidence or adaption?
