I thinking in my ideal job, I would to work in a physiological center, specifically on the forensic line of the psychology, where my job would be see to victims of some kind of crime that need therapeutic help or some legal advise. My job would be help to the person to recover of the traumatic experience. But also, I would have a job in the prison, because many people that live in the prison are subject to inhuman conditions that detrimental the possibilities of rehabilitation.

How difficult it would be to find this kind of job?
Would be very difficult find this job, because the prison doesn’t have money for hire psychologists and the victimologists centers have the professionals sufficient.
Also I would need study a post degree for I have this job.

The experience of writing in a blog is new for me, because I am not very modern and I never had done one. Actually, I don’t like to surf on internet or use things such things as facebook, or fotolog, and blogs. Actually, if this class didn’t require to write in a blog, I had never written in one. Sometimes I enjoy writing in my blog, especially when we started English course, because it was interesting to write in English for the first time, but later it was impossible to enjoy it, because the activities were very difficult (like this one), it also used a lot of my time and the blog ended up turning into a fatigue.
Wherever, if I am sincere, I think that the blog helped me to improve my English, because I felt obliged to develop the ability of thinking in English and being able to write the things that were in my mind and risk me… My opinion about the advantages of blogging in English class, is that you can practice your vocabulary, your knowledge about English Grammar and your creativity, because sometimes is very important to be creative to speak about different topics, especially if you didn’t invent it.
Some disadvantages are that if you don’t like blogs, it will be very difficult to write plentifully and in an easy manner. As well, the fact that the blog is graded is very stressful, and If you never have practiced in your language for your life, it will be more difficult to begin to write in English in your blog. I also don´t think that some assignments are right for our English level, some people like me don´t really manage the language that well to write random staff in a blog so it is sometimes uncomfortable for me to be asking for help to people or looking for words in a dictionary.

Sir Ken and his original proposal

Sir Ken is a creativity expert that make some interesting points in his speech about the way that our school system "nurtures" people creativity. He explain his ideas during the video, emphasizing in the way that art and others ways of expression can help to develope ourselves in a more creative way. He proposes a kind of teaching that contributes to increase the student freedom and self-confidence, to avoid the "framing" of their thoughts and habilities. This change doesn't depends on the teachers or schools, in deed, it depends on the way of teaching. He thinks that most kids have an enormous talent in some area, and this talent is wasted frecuently. He also proposes that to be an inteligent person consist on having original ideas that have some value. For Sir Ken, the principal boost for the next years is the creativity, and the major problem is that this boost needs to be born in the schools, and this certainly is not happening.

My favourite subject is Forensic Psychology, Carolina Villagra is the teacher.

I like this subject because is a line different of psychological job, It is a good choice into of psychology, because the Clinical psychology is very saturated. Also I always have been interested about things related with the laws and human rights and I find that Forense Psychology is a mix between psychology and Law. I think that is very interesting job with victims or criminals, because for me all the people are victims of some system or social condition.

This semester I have learned a lot about jobs that do a psychologist, for example a psychologist can to work in different areas such as: Organizational, Community, Educational, Forensic and the most known is clinical area.

Particularly, in Forensic Psychology I have learned how a psychologist can help to judicial system in the attention of the victims and in the rehabilitation of criminals.
