Creativity and Education

I didn’t know this comedian, but I really enjoyed his routine. I think that He says a lot of fun things, but is very interesting at the same time.
Today, in our society are are much undervalued the skills related with the creativity of people.
The majority of the people think that is very nice to see someone with such skills to the arts, but not valued the same way that this person takes this as a hobby, or when this person want to study it seriously, and live by this art.
I feeling very close this thought because I think that in the case of Chile, this problem is repeated in all teaching areas that are not very traditional.
For example, our career is not considered very traditional (as could be , for example , laws or medicine), and I think that more than any of us should have questioned for to come into this carrier , this because of the alleged risks of employability , and this is risky.
But all of us here, decided to take the "risk" because we know that is more important the real vocation of each person, before you do mathematical calculations about the money that you will get by working.
In my opinion when you are happy with what you do , and take place in this, the money will come as a reward and in a natural way, like something we rewarded for doing what you really dream of.
but unfortunately, our society is not educated in this type of thinking.
I think it's an important point, and that it isn’t even taking much into account in current debates and protests that there is about the struggle to improve education.
Maybe We have been preoccupied with issues that are important too, such as education funding, but we have left a bit aside the worry that every person can develop each skill and creativity into our education system

My Favorite Singer

The topic for this week is free, and I decided that I will take the opportunity for write about my favorite singer, that I could say, he is my favorite “poet” too, because I think that the lyrics of his songs are wonderful.
He is Enrique Bunbury. He doesn’t very popular in Chile, I don’t know the reason.. Maybe because not play his songs on the radio that most people to listening (the only radio in which I've heard his songs is in the “Radio Futuro”)
His real name is Enrique Ortiz de Landázuri Izardui, He took the artisitc surname of a story by Oscar Wilde.
He born in Spain in 1967 and He began his career as musician when He became in the Vocalist of the band “Heroes del Silencio” (one of my favorite bands). This band lasted from 1984 to 2007, but they had a break up from 1996 to 2007, and in this time Bunbury made a career as a solo singer.
if I have to compare the style of Heroes del Silencio with a band known to give you an idea of this music, I could say they are a strange mix between The Doors and Led Zeppelin (but in Spanish), and of course, Bunbury in his solo career takes a lot of this style, because he was who composed the lyrics of songs to Heroes. But in my opinion in his later works, his songs sound more like Andrés Calamaro or Gustavo Cerati and not as those psychedelic rock bands of the 80.
He is my favorite singer, because I always find one of his song that applies to some moment in my life, sometimes it is terrible … I think all people have felt the same sometime.

A website

A very relevant problem in the Archaeology is the critique of some people that think that that this science doesn’t care about the problems of modern society, or rather, many people think that archaeologists dont care what happens in today's world, and they only care about bits of stones and everything else is unimportant.
But in my opinion this is a wrong thought , and I found a great website that reflects this.
Archaeology in the Present (http://arqpoli.blogspot.com/ ) is a blog in which different Chilean archeologists published
issues that may be related to social, economic and political process and how these topics are relate to the archeology.
For example, we find analysis of laws that directly affect archeology as the National Monuments Act, topics of discussion as the representative in the Political ideologies or advertising stereotypes .
Although it is of great national importance, the post that most touched me was the post wrote by Professor Luis Cornejo ( professor in our university) about a zombie parade that took place in Santiago (costume of course).
I loved as a “daily situation" can appear in the middle of a serious blog in a way so simple, ironic and analytical in the same time. I was moved thinking how will I see the world in a few years, through to the same archaeological look.
and how the remains of the past be projected in my mind even to this small daily events.
I found this website while building my own website! it was a homework in a course called "a website for my career", and I needed to have links to sites related to my topic. Since that day I visit often, and I read the entries several times and always discover something new in them.
