Syria crisis: David Cameron still wants 'robust response' to chemical weapons
Prime minister says Britain will not be joining military action but can still help uphold 'international taboo' on weapons
In a television interview, the prime minister said British plans to join America in a military campaign "won't be happening" but there were other ways of "upholding the international taboo on the use of chemical weapons". Cameron also contrasted his willingness to listen to parliament "very, very clearly" with Tony Blair's approach in the runup to the Iraq war in 2003. In the previous few days, the Labour leader, Ed Miliband, had indicated he would support the prime minister as long as more UN agreement was sought and weapons inspectors had given their verdict about the use of chemical weapons. "I understand the deep scepticism that my colleagues in parliament and many members of the public have about British involvement in Syria. I hope this doesn't become the moment where we turn our back on the world's problems," he added. There was deep irritation in the cabinet that the prime minister had misjudged the mood of his parliamentary party and had single-handedly revived the fortunes of Miliband after a recent bad patch. But there was support for the view that Cameron faces no threat to his position.

English Subject

In relation to the english subject, I have to say that I like it so much since I was on Primary School. I always remember my british professors and how discipline they were. We use to see many movies, sing lot of song and we analyze them. I appreciate so much their classes, because besides they teached me so much how to speak, write and read, they make me love to learn speak in other languages. That’s why I took the English elective subject, to keep learning and practice this idiom. So, specifically I think this one have been the best subject of English I’ve ever have on University, and one of the reasons is I haven’t feel under pressure by the teacher or my classmates, and that’s because we everybody wanted to be there. Another thing I appreciate of this semester subject is the speaking practices which I hoped to develop and in that sense I remember speaking topics about things we study or we were related with because there were flowing conversations. In other aspects I think the only improved, knowing we have a few resources to learn at this faculty, would be to speak about more topics we are related to, like to increase our technical vocabulary. I use to speak English when I’m drunk and having party with friends, so, maybe it would be a good improvement too!

Dignified work

We live in the dictatorship of the market and have a lot to question, but it's not that I want to talk at this time. I wish we could think of the dignity of those who make this great machine, which promotes mindless consumption and the negative values are moving in favor of the pockets of much known people ever. Since the establishment, by force, the logic of capital accumulation and private property in Chile, working conditions of workers in the country have been punished under the pretext of "reduce costs and increase profits", even to commit atrocities that directly threaten the integrity of the people who work tirelessly and valiantly and still manage to be confident enough to make ends month calm, unhurried.

An example of this are the workers of major retail chains have been lifted today demanding improved working conditions and rewards for their work. Many of them have been made invisible by the press and quiet for its executives. Some have had to give up the fight to see not affected either their salary or longevity with the company. Many times I heard the old saying that work dignifies man, But how high I have doubts about that today! Even more seeing the harsh reality of hard-families can not cover their basic needs, they have secured the right to housing, to health and also bear the weight of a probably uneasy and sad old age. At what point will take action and work for a more just, less unequal and more inclusive? It is outrageous and unacceptable to live in a country where, even working, a family still lives in poverty. I invite you to get out of our homes with the willingness to change the model, with the conviction that our will be achieved by adding impose respect for life before anything else.

September to Chile

On September Chile celebrate the independece of Spain which ocurr on 1810. On this month, a lot of people goes to the Fondas, traditional parties where people can eat and drink so much for a hole week; they sell a lot of Chicha (national drink based on just sweet grapes), empanadas, anticuchos and lot of typically food. On that week I used to travel to my city on these days and share with my childhood friends the happiness of get out of santiago and feel the land air. So, now that’s we are waiting for

People feel free to enjoy because government give this free days by mandate, they feel relax and can forget their cotidians problems. In that sense, I think that it’s a good opportunity to people realized they can share their lifes and happyness with their pairs feeling part of a community, making their identity and their sense or pertenence stronger. However I think the State has been using this independence parties to make people forget their deep needs, the things which state should do for them but doesn’t, and prefer to give them the ilussion of fredom and happines. For me, it’s like the only gift or present the state could give to people because it’s doesn’t nothing more to do because it doen’t care. It would be great if the state promove freedom and the recognition to worker people from a new perspectives. Firstable, it would be razonable if State use its power to make effective the public policies requiered for society from a long time ago (a real equility treatmen for minor groups and take the health and education like a huge responsibility).

How green we are?

Firstable, I want to say that it’s important to create consciece about how related are the way we treat our planet and the way it can provide us consequently better things. There’s the same relation we have with our bodies and the way it response to our petitions. Getting a sincronized and armonized relation with ourself and our enviroment surely will gift us a lot of material and spiritual benefits.

In this sense, I think the consciece begins to be created when people are just children, because it’s the time when we are more open to recive new ideas, to make it own, to integrate like part of us and then we can proyect the habbits so normaly for the rest of our lifes.

Personally, I have to say that I live in an apparment at Santiago the hole week, so it’s kind of complicated to separete the garbage I drop. However, my dad has a bar on Rancagua, and the glass bottles he drop, goes to an special dump only for glass. For another hand, I try to use my bike to go to the university or other pleaces when the time let me do it.

Finally, I want to say that it almost does’t matter, to be “individually green” if the huge structures of society doesn’t make a real compromise with this issues, its important State and enterprisses (EMPRESAS) asume the responsibility they should to have in this and other aspects.

My Future Job !

Since long time ago I have thought about what kind of job I would like to have on the future. Of course, I've always wanted to work helping people, making better the quality of life of people and things like that. However, travel around the world is one of my passions too, so I pretend to combinate both things and try to do something exciting, funny and over all, helpful.
In that sense, I have decided just 2 years ago, approximately, that I want to study at Diplomacy School of the International Relations Ministry and became an Ambassador. I know that there can be a lot prejudices about how this people can make real and deep changes on society and really help indeed people. But one thing is truth, at least, that's what I think, ambassadors have so much time to waste, or free time in a friendly way, so, I pretend to have fun administrating an state institutions, travelling around the world, and using the politic power that I will have to do some projects with the community and for the community; which will be about civic education that people have to receive to make of his own community a better place to live.
