In my opinion, the language is a very enigmatic skill of the humans, is like an attempt to show our subjectivities and our reflections. Mark Pagel says that in the origins, the humans like the Homo erectus has just the skill of social learning, that is learn through the visual theft, copy the things that others persons do. I think that we currently use the social learning and sometimes, is very useful, in addition, also using the language we can see a social learning, not so much linked with the visual theft, maybe, a “listen theft”. In this line, Mark says that in a moment of our evolution, we had to choose between two options: live in small groups or in cooperative societies. Pagel tell that if we had choose to live in small groups, we would probably still living like the Neanderthals, because in small groups are fewer ideas, and for this, not language. On the other hand, living in cooperative societies means replace the visual theft for the language. In my opinion, that is problematic, because I don’t think that in small groups are less ideas than in a big group, actually, exist many small groups like hunter-gatherers who have complex ideas and very rich languages, for that, I disagree with the idea of one world one language, that would be very destructive, even more considering that the peoples would not like to change his ancient language. Anyway, I agree respect the power of the language, with that we can change our lives and change the world.

Background
According to Fundacion
Basura, each person in Chile generates 1,5 kilograms of trash per day.
Additionally, large part of this trash is plastic, material with important
pollution rates and without an organic degradation. Therefore, these elements
remain in time, destroying the sea, the air and the ground.
The neoliberalism of
our time imposes a culture of consumption and waste, in a frenetic rhythm where
anything is made with plastic and disposable, just for use in a short space of
time. This garbage is affecting the earth and affecting ourselves, which has
made the situation critic and probably, unsustainable later. It is very
important begin now to change that, is a responsibility that we have with the
earth, and with the future generations.
Problem
It is relevant that the
common people changes there daily life for a life with less waste and more
recycling. We must to question our habits and our thoughts; moreover, we have to
question our culture, because here is a part of the problem. Is necessary don’t
forget the industrial factor. It is true that we as common people have responsibilities
about the ecology, but the companies and the industries (like the extractive industries)
are destroying the environment on a large-scale, is necessary to stop them. Anyway,
this work is oriented to the people and to contribute to a cultural change that
can solve the problem about the inorganic wastes.
Anthropology can help
to solve this problem, with this discipline we can identify and analyze cultural
practices that produce a lot of waste, in this way, we can question this practices
and show that to the people, exposing others alternatives, oriented to clean
and protect the nature.
Solution
We must change our
practices that produce too much inorganic garbage. Incorporating a subject in
the primary school to teach the children’s about environment pollution, and
showing the destructive that can be our simple practices of our daily life we can
change the practices of the new generations, more than that, is very important that
people know about the climate change and about the nature contamination. But we
need more than that to change the destructive traits of the culture imposed for
the neoliberalism. We must have the material conditions to make an effective recycling,
is very important to increase things like the recycling points in the city. In
addition to this, we must educate all the sectors of the society, through free
workshops and any kind of dissemination of information about this topic. Not
just the destruction of our practices must be exposing, information about alternatives
and recycle practices can make the difference. It is true that the industries
and companies will keep contaminating, but we must make our part, obviously, without
forgetting this problem.

Hello my
friends, how are you? Today I’m going to tell you about phone apps.
I have many
types of apps in my phone, mainly games that I don’t play so much but I can’t uninstall
that for any reason. Of all the apps that I have, the app that I use a lot than
the other is Youtube. Currently, Youtube is a default app in the phones and probably,
is the most renowned apps in the world. I think that you know in what consists
the app but anyway, I’m going to tell you haha. Basically, Youtube give you the
possibility of upload your own videos in the web and to watch the videos of
other peoples. The contents are really broad, since videos about music, to videos
about political. Naturally, I discovered this app many years ago, when my
cousins show me crazy videos when I was a child.
I use this
app very frequently, maybe all the days and mainly to listen music (although is
an app for videos, I think that is the best web to listen music free). Also I
use that for watch scenes of movies, funny videos, notices, tutorials etc.
I think
that Youtube is a very useful app and very recommendable, because with that you
can access to a lot of information and a lot kinds of contents, allowing you
have funny and learn.

Hello everyone again, I hope
you are very well!
Today, I’m going to talk to
you about an ambition that I have, or rather, about a thing that I wish to do.
I have always loved the art in
specially, the music, thing that I dedicated a lot of time. But another art
that I love is the painting. I think that the vision is an overvalued sense, because
in our lives all turnaround of that, underestimating the amazing of the other
sense. Anyway, the things that the vision can feel are totally beautiful and magical,
things like the sunset lights, the mountains, the night and even, the streets
or the buildings of the city. The skill to take this natural things, combine it
each other’s or imagine new things and paint it in a paper, a canvas or in
another surface is something great and exciting. For things as these I want to
learn this art someday in the future.
The truth is that I tried to
paint some things, but all the times I have failed with terrible paintings hahaha,
anyway, the people say that no exists bad art, but seriously, my paintings are
really ugly HAHA.
Well, I know that we can’t
begin with the best, all is a process that we must do with effort and
enthusiasm. That’s all for today, good bye!

Hello my friends, today, the
teacher give us a free topic and I chose talk about my favorite animal, because
I don’t know anything about the horoscope and are a fun subject.
I think that my favorite
animal is the wolf and all her biological family like dogs, foxes etc. Why? I
am not sure, but I think that I like these animals because they live in the
background of nature, inside the forests and mountains, places that I like so
much. This animal live mainly in the northern hemisphere.
I think that the howling of
the wolves is something magic and beautiful, is like a song dedicated to the
moon, the stars, the sky and the nature. In this line, I like dogs so much
because they are fantastic and faithful creatures, in others words, great
partners.
Another animal that I like
very much are the humans, because they are my specie obviously, and I be raised
for they.
Well, with regard to my
inner animal I think that I don’t have one, because I am a human and for that
another animal haha, anyway, if I could have other specie inside me I could
like that be a wolf.
