Borderlines

Today I will talk about borders between countries.

Borders are those imaginary lines that separates countries from one another, these lines helps to measure how big a country or a continent is, but at the same time keeps alive nationalism and xenophobia.

Even though it is true that the borderlines helps the government to maintain order and give limits to have in mind the whole population to do public policies, these separations between countries can also mean hard conflicts since in this world the biggest, the better.

In the system that we all are through, we are sadly influenced by what the politicians and the government do, so if the whole population sees that the person who we all voted for is saying bad things about another country, everybody will think that it is correct to treat them like that. This also helps to generate general prejudice about a whole country that maybe we just know the name so that is why I also think that travel as much as possible and get to know new cultures it is very important to create your own opinion about a whole country.

We all need to know and it is very important to keep in mind that there are not bad or evil countries but for sure there are bad and evil politicians that transfer their thought to the population because that helps them to have followers. A relevant thought as well it is that something different does not mean something bad.

thoughts about the 18

I think this could be a very long conversation, I have many thoughts about the national day but I will try to resume everything and maybe quit some others thoughts.

The thing that I love to do during this holiday is to visit my family in the countryside, I rarely see my family during the year because my mom is the only one of her sisters who lives in Santiago. I also think that is a good holiday to everyone because we all need a rest during the routine.

 I don’t like this national holiday because a big part of the society forgets the real problems that Chile has and the politic class take advantage of this. I also dislike seeing how the people can’t manage their own trash, after the fondas the place is full of plastic on the grown and no one cares about how much damage it means all that plastic.

My plans for this holiday are going to the countryside for the whole week I will go to the mountains, bike to the river, see old friends and sadly study and read university stuff because if I do not do it now I will stress easily later on.

A job I would like to have

I really see myself working as a geographer, maybe it is a little bit early to say that since I am in the first year of university but at the moment I am in love with my career and I will enjoy this feeling until it keeps on me.

Actually I have not decided which part of the geography I like most, if the human or the science part. But I know that I would like to work in social problems, mapping urban projects, specialized myself in glaciology or climatology. I would also like to make and investigation about how the garbage contaminants stay in the atmosphere and how they move over the timeline.

I would like to have these kind of jobs because in anyone of them I help to another person in singular or plural and that give a meaning to what you are doing.

I really important skill that a geographer should have, in my opinion, is being multidisciplinary. If you work in science geography, you can’t forget the human part because you need those two visions of the world to look for the best solution.

I think the satisfaction that I am looking for is to feel comfortable with myself knowing that I am doing thing to change the world to a better one trying to teach humans how we are deeply involved with nature.
