“POPULAR EDUCATION”

Hi anew, my dear readers:

As abstract, in my previous publication I wrote about “Psychology”, my career, and my personal connection with it. I must admit that I am very critical of my career, because I hope that one day psychology could be used to transform the realities. Today, I will talk about one of the most important things of the educational psychology, this is the popular education, and his principal author is Paulo Freire. He is the topic of my presentation in English.

I chose this topic because he is one of the most important teachers in the educational field and, also because I admire their work and their revolutionary method.

I organized my presentation on four specific points:

1.  His stay in Chile

2. His method

3. The diverse fields where the method could be used in the educational psychology.

4. The relevance of the topic.

My presentation was much hosted, but I lingered less than minimum time required. For this reason I had to add one more paragraph to my presentation in the class schedule. The next time my presentation will be more extensive.

This topic is really important because it is a very revolutionary method, and with it we could change a “little bit” the educational practice in the schools where we will work in one “not so far” future, such as Freire did with the farmers in the 60’.

“MY CAREER”

Hi anew, my dear readers:

As abstract, in my previous publication I wrote about a special song in English for me. My favourite song in English is “Hero” by Regina Spektor. This song is the music of the best scene of the movie “500 days of summer”, a film very strange for many man. Today, I will talk about my career “Psychology” and my personal connection with it.

First, I chose this career because I thought that with analysis tools I could help the persons that around me. Over the years I noticed that with psychology has helped me to myself.

I learned that psychology is a tool of oppression, normalizing. But I think that psychology can also be a tool for the people, for the liberation of people. I believe that this is the real help.

I believe that the most used tools by psychologists are tools of oppression, tools that not eliminate discomfort. Psychologists need tools to generate the revolution.  

My favourites subjects are “análisis institucional”, “educación y pobreza”, “violencia de género”, “la cárcel en Chile”, etc. My favourite subjects are very critical of the reality, and challenge to be a different psychologist.

Hi anew, my dear readers:

As abstract, in my previous publication I wrote about a special picture for me, my favourite picture, that is part of my favourite Chilean romance film: “Bonsai”. But, Today I will talk about my favourite song in English. In reality I have many favourite songs, but very few in English, so it will be easier write about this. The song I like best is “Hero” by Regina Spektor. I heard this song for the first time in a very good movie (in reality I believe that it is good, but I like the strange): “500 days of summer”.

I like this song because the lyric is incredibly ironic, but real. Also, is the music of the best scene of “500 days of summer” (scene, here in the video). But, principally because I love Regina Spektor, I love her voice, her unbelievable videos, her lyrics and how beautiful she is. I must admit that Regina Spektor reminds me of Claudia Sepúlveda (my best friend), because I believe that they physically resemble.

Dear readers, here is the song and the picture of Regina Spektor. I hope their opinions.
