¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Animals¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

I really like animal, but not all of them. Some of them scare me and I try to avoid seeing them or touching them.
This doesn’t mean that I would like them to die.

Animals should be protected,unless they are a danger to us, humans.











I’ve had many pets, since I was little;I had a hamster, dogs, cats, fishes, chickens, geese, among others. But now days, I have two dogs. They are maltes and I love them, they are like my daughters.

I don’t know animal’s right, I would like to be informed about it, since for example, in Chile there are animalsthat are in extinction, and I don’t know how they are being protected by the government.
The Chinchilla, the condor and the pudú among others, are animals inextinction.

The other topic I don’t know about is animal testing. There aren’t enough news about the topic and I think is because is convenient for the people that do the experiments to keep people in the dark. If everyone knew about their experiments they would be against it.


The way that animals are treated has to do with the education and the culture, since for some people find going to the zoo or seeing animals in the circus normal, and for others it’s something terrible.

I like many types of animals, if I had to become one it would be a monkey, because it’s the closest to being a human; or I would be a cute puppy so that I could be taken care of, I could get my hair brushed everyday, I would eat delicious food, I would get gifts, and so on.

environment

Children learn to care for the environment in two places,first in their home with their parents and siblings and then at school.

When traveling to different places in Santiago, I think thateveryone cares for the environment differently, less educated people throwtrash on the floor also have landfills in the streets, while in places wherepeople have more resources are more environmentally friendly.


In my building I separate plastic, glass, paper and organicin different bags, but I don’t know what happens to that trash afterwards. Iwould like to have more opportunities to recycle.

I do not use bike, because my apartment is far from theUniversity, but soon we are going to buy bicycles, one for my husband and one forme. He can go to work by bicycle and on weekends we can ride our bikes together.

I do not participate in any organization that takes care ofthe environment because it does not interest me; I prefer to organize campaignsto help the environment, given the chance.

When I lived with my parents, I organized in my community tostart recycling, and then took large dumps of different colors to dump glass, paperand plastic, but after a week they were stolen, so it frustrated me a lot.

In Santiago there arevery few educational policies that explain the importance of caring for theplanet and also, teachers could teach children to recycle from an earlyage and so children could teach their parents

80 and 90's music

I think  music is important to cheer your life, I need to listen to music every day.

Since I wake up to when I go to bed, when I clean my house, when I cook, or when I eat lunch with my husband and so on, but I never listen to music when I'm studying because I can`t concentrate.

I like different types of music, such as classic rock, pop, salsa, merengue, grunge and so on.

I  think that at one point in your life you listen to a certain type of music for example when you are teenager you listen to heavy metal, classic rock among others however when you grow up you listen to other things

I don´t have a favorite band, but I like 80 and 90's music, because is the best music that you can listen to.

I only like to listen to the radio, because I don´t like to listen to live music that's why I haven´t gone to a concert. Sometime I listen to music online, but I do not download.

I dont know how to play an instrument, but my brother plays the guitar when I was little he played for my until I fell asleep

In conclusion, I can say that i like music, but i could live without it. However, I could not handle to not listen to anything, not even the sound of birds, that would be terrible.

SUICIDE

Since  2010, the conversation about suicide has increased, because many young people have committed suicide in a short period of time. This was shocking for the community and they wanted to know what health authorities and politicians were going to do about what appeared to be an escalating and serious problem.  

Some authorities like Sinn Fèin and Gerry Adams, declared the situation a “crisis” and vowed to act on it.  Between 1999 and 2008 suicide’s rates in Northern Ireland had increased
by 64%. In 2002, 76% of all suicides in Northern Ireland were male and 60% were between 15 and 34 years old.  Some explanations for suicide are teenage drug use and addiction and disadvantaged groups, for the few opportunities to work. "Suicide rates can also be affected by a number of different things including recession, rising unemployment, budget cuts and other social
factors."

The Community complains that the politicians have failed to intervene when the rises of the suicide rates were increasing and the lack of efficiency of the campaigns to prevent young people to commit suicide. Institutions have been created to work with youth who attempted suicide but not a lot of people have faith in them. Since the problem has yet to be solved.
