Italy...a country of dreams.

My favourite country to visit is Italy, because this country is the most important artistic and cultural center in the World. The country I would like to visit is Italy because I think is a beautiful and magic place. As well Italy had a considerable art history with a famous artist, such as Miguel Angel. In Italy art is everywhere, just like love is in France.

I know about Italy some things such as the beautiful Toscana, the wonderful "Sixtina Charpel", the "Roman Coliseum", and the "Pisa tower". Also I know that Italy is famous for here Mediterranean gastronomy: the pizza, pasta, risotto, polenta and wine. In politics, Italy was famous for the Mussolini dictatorship and the Berlusconi scandal.

If I travel to Italy I would like to visit the Vatican and Toscana. I would like to eat pasta, pizza and cannelloni in a "Trattoria". Also I would enjoy the art, music and the opera. I would also like to know the schools and their teaching methods. Then I could implement these methods in Chilean schools.

Also I like the art world and this country is a great exponent. I think thay Italy is a very quiet and also motivating country. 

I wouldn’t like to work, study or live in Italy, because I want to live in my country always and I love the Chilean art. But, I also love the Italian art. I would study art in Italy and I would work in Florence sometime. But, I prefer to live in my country.

Criminal Laws

I think that Capital punishment isn´t a good solution to reduce criminality, because we are not people to judge. Only God can judge us. I think that it is better to train criminals for a special area, and they will be able to insert themselves in the laboral life, and they leave the bad accions.

The pros and cons in Capital punishment are:

Pros:
- The criminal never come back to hurt somebody.
- The families affected have a rest and consolation.

Cons:
- We are not people to judge to other people, because we are human, and we make mistakes.
- The families of a criminals will sufer very much.

The government should give more laboral possibilities to reduce criminality rates in Santiago, because the people wouldn´t need to cheat or steal anything, because they have their own money.

The origin of the increasing criminality rates in Chile are the financial and economical inequalities, because the people in too many occasions don´t have the sufficient adquisitive power to get things. And in this time, this power moves the entire world.

I have been a victim of burglary pick pocketing many times, and this makes me angry. Also, in one opportunity a gypsy stole me $10.000!!  It is a fraud, because she said to me that my family doesn´t love me, and the world is bad, and a lot of nosenses!

Anyway, I think that having another way to resolve the social problems in a good way…

Paulo Freire.

He was born in Recife, Brasil in september of 1921. He was a Brazilian educator and influential theorist of education. Freire enrolled at the University of Recife in 1943, the Faculty of Law, where he studied philosophy and psychology of language at the same time. He was appointed director of the Department of Cultural Extension of Recife University (1961), and he took the first opportunity to apply their theories in a meaningful way when he teached to read and write to poor persons (1962), because he thought than the education was very important for the people. In 1969, was offered the post of visiting professor at Harvard University in 1969. In Chile, Freire worked during five years for the Christian Democratic Movement for Agrarian Reform and the Organization for Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Freire published a series of book, that contributed to the education, for the most importants were;"Education as practice of freedom" (1967) and "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" (1970) I like Paulo Freire, because he was a teacher committed with the vulnerable people and for her multiple contributions to the education.
