SEPTEMBER 2ND, TASK 2 POST 2 (week 4) >> A COUNTRY YOU'D LIKE TO VISIT


Hi class!

How are you?

Today, I write about Mexico, because I like to travel to Mexico.

I know little about Mexico, but I think that this is a interesting country.

I know only pictures of Mexico and videos of Mexico and I think that places and people are interesting.

Mexico have a lot of beautiful places and spectacular buildings, because in this country there were old civilizatons that left important legacy, for example, mayas y aztecs.

Too, I think that mexican culture is interesting, I would like to meet and talk with people from that country to learn about their history and culture.

But, I think that the best of Mexico is their food. I love that seasoned and spicy food. Is really delicious!.

I like`d to eat some tacos and shot of tequila in México. Too, I think that would be fun dance

Well, I like`d travel to Mexico only for tourist, because, I don`t know much about education in Mexico, so I don`t plan to study beyond.

Well, I think that travel is very interesting and funny, so I like`d travel to several places, but Mexico is a of the country interesting to me, because, in adition, idiom of this country is spanish, so comunication would be easy.

See you !

Lucky!

The Mapuche Conflict.


Hi Class!

How are you?

Well, today I write about the Mapuche Conflict.

The Mapuche conflict is very old, problems with this ethnicity existed since spanish colonization. Settlers did not respected to originary ethnic when they come to american lands. Spanish invaded and stole lands of indigenous people.

Actually, Mapuches struggle for land and protest to demand respect for their traditions and culture in general.

Mapuches were processed to terrorist laywer, and this conden is terrible compared with other process.

Mapuches consider that their conden is unfair, so, this year, Between Monday 12th July and 8th October a Mapuche group of prisions of the south of Chile, start a hungry strike. Razon to this is that Mapuches protesting to “end of Terrorist laywer”.

Medias to several days not reported about hungry strike, so Government was not preocupated this theme, people began to protesting to extraofficials channels and members of government were obliged to consider the problema and search solutions to solve conflict.

In the country, there were several protest in support of the strikes. Many people also held fasts to support the striker Mapuche.

President Piñera proposed creation of a dialogue between mapuches representatives y govermment representatives. After several days of negotiation was posible a according to finish hunger strike.

I think that, in general, Traditions and peoples of origiunarias cultures are not respected, since the time of spanish colonist, to the current govermment. So, in my opinion, the recent hunger strike was an extreme measura, but needed to be heard.

Well, this was my blog of this week.

See you classmates !

Lucky!
