             Nowadays music forms part of our lives. Music can be heard almost every minute while commuting, seeing commercials, walking in the mall, etc.

    The  reason for this is that scientist have realized music affects people and can change their mood.  Therefore, music has came up with the potential to become an effective alternative therapy that may be implemented in a few years.

      Most people warn that music does not protect the individual from the problems he has by  just hearing his  favorite song.Which means that if  music is used as a therapy it will only work as placebo that would not help the individual at all.

    However, It has been shown that music produces a neurological response on the individual which affects their behavior towards his daily routine and problems that come up during the day.

 To sum up, music can not protect people from their problems ,yet it works as a therapy and help people to improve their mood. With more research about this topic  we might even found out more uses for music or others types of stimulus and also work out how this types of  stimulus on the affects us in our lives.

         On 27 February 2010 a huge event that changed the way of thinking about natural disasters here in Chile.

            The Earthquake started at 3 am. and a black out came after the earthquake or during the earthquake in some places. The earthquake showed how badly organized our country is. And the slow response from our authorities which end up with many casualties because they didn't alert in time the population and many people were killed because of it.   

       When I heard in the radio the news about the tsunami and the emotion that I could hear in their voices were melodramatic. I was completely astonished by just hearing the numbers of people killed by the tsunami. The response from the Chilean people was absolutely amazing helping in everything they could. The only event when I had seen the Chilean people unified like this is The Teleton. 

         In conclusion, the response from the authorities was pathetic but the fraternal actions from the people was amazing the way they helped each other made me proud of being Chilean.

Speaking assignment 1

                      During this years sexism is not consider a problem in our modern society and the whole topic of sexism is label as an old idea, not representing our modern society.

     And because of this many problems related to sexism had been overlooked.

     Most people affirms that we have reach a point where equality between men and women. With the argument  that the female gender is now able to do labors that were exclusively done by men and has also achieve the same rights. 

     This is yet far from being right. We are not equals , discrimination is still happening between men and women. Although is not as recurring as is was before women  are still being discriminated with lower salaries and companies prefers to hire men over women, because of pregnancy and others thing. 

      All in all, most people do not realize that as far as we do not care about sexism and everything related to it, all this problems are not going to change and we will never be able to  achieve a real equality between men and women in our society.
