Changes to my study programme

Hello bloggers! Today I would like to write about some changes to my study programme or my career in simple words. Well, I think that this year has been very complicated because of student mobilizations and for that we have to study in the summer. 

Now there are a few changes that i could do in geography, in the first place, for example there is a geographic information system named ArcGis and we use a lot to make cartographies. but if we want to have in our computers we got to download it in an illegal way and it's dangerous for our computers, so I think that the university should provide us this program and we could have it in a legal and original way.

About the curriculum i really like the subjects we have to study, if we compare it with curriculums from other universities it is very complete and its approach is broader.

About the challenges i have faced as student, the worst part is being far from my home and family, solve problems on my own, try to be calm when stress wins and understand and understand that although of all of my is never enough.

Being a student is like a rollercoaster of emotions, sometimes you are happy, sometimes you are so sad that you want to give up because you feel you are not enough for the career, but when the time passes by you realize that every semester is the same, as a cycle that never ends. But despite everything I said before I love my career. 

The holidays!

Hi everyone! Today i would like to write about what I´m going to do in my summer holidays. Well as far as I'm concerned my family and I want to go to visit my grandmother who lives in Trovolhue, a small coastal town in the Region of Araucania. The last time I saw her was in 2017's summer and that was the first time I went to that place. When we went there in 2017 I knew a lot of places like Budi Lake (which is the only salty lake of south america), Carahue, Nueva Imperial which is the only salty lake of south america and I knew a lot of family too.

Many people think that if you go on vacation you need to know different places or new places but I disagree with them, in my opinion I think that you have to go to a place you feel comfortable and if I feel comfortable going a lot of times to the same place you do with no doubt.

Also go to Laja River in the Region of Biobio and camp with my family, I love that river, I have beautiful memories of the last time I went there. 

So I hope my family and I can go to visit my family and a lot of places on summer vacation because i think we really need to disconnect us from city life and relax and in my case get back to a new year of university renewed.

Should euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide be legal?

Hey bloggers, today I'm going to write about a topic that is very interesting and very current to generate a discussion and analize different points of view. In the first place is necessary to know what is euthanasia? According to The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary Euthanasia "is the act or practice of killing or permitting the death of hopeless sick or injured individuals in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy". So with this definition we have pros and cons about the same topic. Here we have some pros about euthanasia: 

-Michael Irwin, former Medical Director at the United Nations and current Coordinator of the Society for Old Age Rational Suicide (SOARS) stated: "The right to die should be a matter of personal choice: I am pro life, I want to live as long as I possibly can, but I also believe the law should be changed to let anyone with some severe medical condition which is causing unbereable symptoms to have an assisted suicide. I wouldn't want to be unnecessarily kept alive against my own will".

-Brittany Maynard, a 29 year old with a malignant brain tumor, stated the fllowing: "There is not a cell in my body that is suicidal or that wants to die. I want to live. I wish there was a cure for my disease but there's not. My glioblastoma is going to kill me, and that's out of my control...it's a terrible way to die. Being able to choose to go with dignity is less terrifying...Right now it's a choice that's only available to some Americans, wich is really unethical".

In the other side there are cons:

George Delgado, MD, Medical Director and family practuce physician at Culture of Life Family Care said: "Physician-assisted suicide does damage to patiens who are in very difficult situations. It does damage to the medical profession. It compromises the sacred trust between physician and patient, which should be based on healing, not based on killing".

According to the previous arguments that show us the different positions of people respect if euthanasia should be legal, we can say that there is a war between the ethical and moral, because as human being we have the right to live and decide about us, we can also decide if you don't want to continue your suffering caused by a terminal disease, helping to have a dignified and less painful death.
