I believe in the greater good

    Personally, talking about politics is a bit complicated. When I was a child, I was not interested in the subject. I used to believe that this science never worked. But now, in my twenties, I see it as a strong subject of debate.

  Since I began to integrate myself into politics thanks to my parents and grandparents, I began to realize the harsh and complicated situation that exists in Chile due to the numerous crimes that are committed daily. As I grew older, I acquired a rather pragmatic perspective on political and social stability within a country. On the one hand, I am in favor of respecting the rights of oneself and others. On the other hand, I am in favor of laws and reforms that act harshly against criminals (murderers, rapists, among others), but without altering our individual freedom to make decisions.

    My conclusion is that while I support the rule of law, I do not disapprove of deadly force laws against dangerous criminals, as long as they are enforced for the greater good.

    Hello, I am very interested in your publication. I think you're touching on a subject that is still quite delicate to touch. There are many very polarized opinions on the matter and many areas to take into account to approve or disapprove this type of measure. One of them, in my opinion, one of the most important is the number of cases in which after years it is revealed that the accused was not really guilty, in that case it would be very serious to give such a measure to an innocent person, on the other hand I believe that I am not in favor of approving these laws but of toughening or removing other types of sentences for the accused, since in many of these cases prison is not really a significant sentence, taking this into account I believe that there should be many modifications to the existing sentences, since sometimes the high sentences they receive for not so serious crimes is even ridiculous compared to the low sentences received by people who have actually been confirmed guilty of rape, murder and others.

    hello, your post is quite interesting, on the one hand I agree. Offenders should be punished according to the seriousness of the crime committed, but I also think that those in charge of investigating these crimes should be thorough to avoid convicting an innocent person.

    It is interesting what you say about lethally punishing people who commit crimes, but I personally consider that harsh punishment is not a solution to reduce crime, there are other policies, for example improvements in public education, which could have an impact on reducing crime.

BLOG 4 “Time travel to the past or future”

Imagen
            Hi everyone.        Today I am going to tell you something important, which has to do with time travel. If I had to choose which moment in history I would travel to, it would be to my hometown, around the beginning of the new century (2000) I wouldn’t travel to the future because, as its name suggests, it’s a completely uncertain moment in history and it wouldn’t be convenient for me to venture in an unknown world. I also wouldn't travel too far back in time because, obviously, the last century was a much more dangerous time than today. I feel like I couldn't handle myself there. So, in my case, I will travel to a past closer to my present.        I’m curious to see again what the streets of my region were like more than two decades ago. Personally, I would like to see my grandparents or great-grandparents again (because some of them have already died). I haven’t intention of s...

I want to go to Spain

Imagen
Hello. Today I have to tell you something. This is an important long-term goal that I have for my career as a filmmaker. Once I graduate from ICEI, I will apply to do a Masters in animation, before officially dedicating myself to the profession of animator/screenwriter. And for that I have in mind to enter the ECIB (Barcelona Film School) Yes, I really want to travel and get to know Spain. Apart from the issue of the language barrier -which obviously would not be as great as, for example, if I traveled to the US-, my problems are mainly two: In the first place, the enormous geographical distances (in the sense that, probably, I will be forced to reside only in Spain during the 18 months that the Master lasts, without being able to see my family). Secondly, in my almost null knowledge of Barcelona itself, apart from certain vague news that I find out on the internet, the weather or the rise of Spanish cinema during the last decade (I say this last from a personal point of view, obviousl...

The New Year

Imagen
                  Hi everyone.        Well, today I'm going to talk to you about what, in my opinion, is the best party that exists: The New Year.       My family and I celebrate this day at my grandmother's house. I personally consider it "better" than the others because it is the simplest of all. By this I mean that I prefer to sit and talk with the family while we eat something "fancy" and wait for the clock to strike "zero". What I enjoy most is being with my family, eating, talking about any subject, laughing and having an ice cream until we go from one year to another. I don't know, I'm someone simple in certain things. Especially in celebrations.        That is why it saddens me that traffic accidents and deaths increase considerably during this holiday. This is sad, because somehow, people go crazy and behave irresponsibly in front of car handlebars more ...
