All the world's a stage...

Hi Everyone!

Today, the topic of the text is free and I will write about one of the things that I more like to do and watch: the theater. When I was in school I was in a Theater club and I loved to go and act here…acting is most exciting of the world; its fun and you can express yourself and channel all your feelings in different situations. Two years ago with my partners acted in the play “The House of Bernarda Alba” of Federico García Lorca and the last year we acted “The Toothbrush” of Jorge Díaz.

The history of theatre is really old, because it’s go back on the Ancients Greeks, when he did plays to celebrate his gods, formalizing this activity like an art. His plays was done in a huge open air theatre were they act, however, the expressions of his faces didn’t look very well, so the actors used a big mask of sad or happy faces depending of the kind of play that they was acting; tragedy or comedy.

After the Greeks, almost every cultures act like a way of amuse or do social critical. The Romans, for example, had a similar kind of plays of Greeks; however, their plays weren’t so religious, the Medieval people act situations about holy people, and on Renaissance England, was one of the most wonderful dramatist; William Shakespeare.

My favorite gender is Theatre of Absurd because the plays are about real and daily things but with a ridiculous situations, language and expressions. The dialogue is really incoherent; however, the topic of the play is very profound and critical.

See you!

My Cell Phone

Hi Everyone!!!

Today I’ll tell you about my favorite piece of technology: my cell phone...Well perhaps it isn’t my favorite thing but it’s the most technological that I have. I like my cell because it has everything that I like; mp3, camera, games (well, only one, and a bit boring) and the most important it let me call to my home, of course. I had it since April, 5th on 2009 therefore it’s mine since more than a year. I remember it clearly because the follow day I take a photo and it is registered in my cell.
Generally, I use it to listen to music when I move every week to Rancagua, when I’m bored because I can play the game, when I want to take a photo with my friends and (the most important) when I want to speak with my family and friends, by a call or by a message, so I use it every day.
I think that I would continue live without my cell phone because I don’t really need the camera or the music, but that I really need of it are the calls. For me, wouldn’t problem have a simpler cell because the most important for me is speak with my people.

See you!!

About Rancagua

Hi Everyone!!

Today we must to write something about anything that we want, and I’ll write about Rancagua. Rancagua is the city where I lived all my life, since I was born there. If you compare Santiago and Rancagua, my city is very small because there’s no so much malls, no big universities, not so much funny activities in all year and the most important: there’s no too much people like here. However, I like to live there because it’s very little and you don’t spend too much time going to places into the city.
One of the most important things about Rancagua it’s that is a place know like “huasa” city, because there is a lot of farmers, who cultivate some vegetables and fruits that finally are exported to Europe and Asian countries. That’s the principal economic activity of the region. Another thing because my location it’s known because about “El Teniente”. “El Teniente” is a subterranean mine where are taken out minerals like cooper, like a product, and, like sub products, molybdenum, gold and silver (but much bit).
Each October 1st and 2nd we remember Rancagua’s battle. This day Bernardo O’Higgins and the patriotic army fight against Spanish army because of Chile’s independence. Unfortunately, we lost, however we remember that that with proud, in fact, the region’s name is “Libertador Bernardo O’Higgins”. In this date, all the schools and institutions (like fire department, police and Red Cross) parade in the principal stadium of the city.
Well, it was a little thing of Rancagua.

See you!!

Emile Durkheim (1858- 1917)

Today, I’ll tell you about an expert in my field that I admire; he is Emile Durkheim…well, perhaps I really don’t admire him, but he is the expert that I know more so I’ll write about him. Also in the subject of sociology, we was reading this author and his text are really interesting from me.
Emile Durkheim was born in France on 1858 and died on 1917. He is one of the most important sociologists of the history of that area, also he, with Max Weber and Karl Marx, began talking about it like a discipline. The most of his male relative were rabbis, but Emile don’t want to follow the religious life and he decided to study in École Normale Supérieure. Like student he was really brilliant and with the time he began to publish different controversial work about the social phenomena, education, crime, law, suicide, solidarity, work and religion in the society. His methodological work it’s about the quantitative method to base on the positivism, which it’s connected with the objective forms to do social investigations.
His most important works are The Division of Labour in Society (1893), Rules of Sociological Method (1895), On the Normality of Crime (1895) and Suicide (1897).

See you!!
