The Capitalist System


For me Capitalism is a social and economical system where the private property and the competition have the most important part. In this kind of system the government doesn’t put control on the private activities because the system has an invisible hand that controls the fluctuations on price and demand.  The capitalism has two other characteristics that are the profit and the debt that are the motor of the system because they make the cash flow and make the system walk. And in these two characteristics the capitalism has his ugliest face because the system put price for everything because everyone needs profit and for that you need indebted people.

When the system has crises (who happens in regular times) the government (in the case of U.S.A. and Chile) injects money into banks creating a very big problem (in the case of Chile is one of the most important) the gap between rich people and the rest of the population because the people who have more money continue earning more money and the poor and middle-class people are poorer.

I think in the same way that the video. When the crisis comes the governments need to use the money for national programs creating job, trying to save the people’s houses and people´s jobs. With this the gap will be shorter and the money will be efficiently divided.

I think that this system is not good for the people because the only use that everyone have is earn money and earn money for the owner of the company, enterprise etc. and that makes that a few group have a lot of power. And maybe the most important is that the system doesn’t work for the fifty percent of the people it’s mean that the system doesn’t work.

My Perspective

We saw a lot of cultures and now i will write about that and what I think of every one of them.

The Indian culture is very interesting because has many religions and many gods too. I think that is very good because you have many points of view about divene things.

The tale that we read call "Ra and his Children" it is very interesting because the Egyptians made her own description about how was made the world. That is a very creative way to express their belifs. I think that the tale shows in a very similar way to the Christians how was made the world how only one entity made all the things.

About the Celts I have to say that the Pre-Romans cultures(that the Romans call "Barbarians") are very interesting for me. The Celts was culture who lived in The British Islands they were a tribe very good fighting. They fought against many other tribes and they survived. That shows that they were a very strong tribe.

I belive that is very interesting to know about how different tribes or civilisations had lived. I love the historical things.

I think as a future teacher that is very important to know differents cultures because I'll have diferents students in the classroom. I need to respect the diferent points of view. The most important, treat them with respect.

Short Stories

Hills like white Elephants

The story of Hemingway is an amazing and twisted tale. A couple decide to make an abortion. The Girls is relatively nervous. The story is like an a metaphor. The Story told all before the abortion and the girl's doubt

In my opinion it is a very good tale. The use of metaphor makes the story more attractive

Siddhartha

Siddhartha is a young man who live in a no-reality. His Father makes a world with no real life. Siddhartha travel to see all the things that he never saw. He discover the suferring the illnes and the death. Siddhartha start to maditate to find the ilumination.

The video is very close to the traditional story of Siddhartha 

Indian Exposition

The exposition about the indian culture had a lot of pictures and sculptures. The exposition show us the differents religions in India. They have many differents gods. They are really awesomes

Is very good to know others cultures. The exhibition was really good.
