Although language is characteristic of northern countries, in our culture is becoming increasingly important to learn this language to enter the workforce. Especially in careers related to the area of health is fundamental knowledge of the second language, since in more than one occasion we will be faced with a patient who has no knowledge of our language and we who have to adapt to them to provide optimal care.
As midwives we may be faced with having to leave our country to increase our knowledge and improve our learning, moreover, by any circumstance of life we may touch a woman care for English speaking and is about to have her baby.
Learning another language in our country wakes up very little interest. Some years ago it was thought that teaching English to children was a useless charge. Today this idea has changed. Therefore we must start by a positive assessment of learning a new language as the future of people passing through the living and the need to master other languages to improve opportunities and quality of life and to ensure coexistence and exchange cultural since the short time increasing their knowledge about other cultures.
On the other hand, that learning another language is produced is necessary to involve the family, since seeing the spot from a social, cultural and family can be a motivator of this learning. Eventually the students who learn a second language are benefited because it helps them better understand their first language, increase their vocabulary and therefore perform better in her school, university and work.
According to some specialists in foreign language teaching suggests that teaching a second language can be started at 6 years old in which the child already knows the language and receives a stronger link between the word, the meaning and significance . On the other hand, suggests that it is before 6 years: they have to assimilate information more easily and as the years pass is more difficult because they are accustomed to their mother tongue.
Learning a second language in childhood, has neurological benefits, as there is a plasticity and flexibility in the brain to the first 8 or 9 years, which facilitate the child's assimilation of new codes. There are also advantages of phonological type can listen to and produce all the sounds perfectly, a quality that is beginning to lose after 11 or 12 years. This would explain why people who begin studying foreign languages when adults find it more difficult to speak fluently that children who commit them. As noted by scientists, the nerve structure of the related party to language learning seems to develop more in those who study a second language at an early age and the part that holds this place is in the left hemisphere temporal lobe, responsible for hearing, speech and diction.
From the sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics, early learning is the most suitable for the plasticity phonetic - articulatory or at 3 years of age, high power capacity a good imitation learning the sounds of a language and good memory can easily assimilate different oral language structures. Early learning allows more mature language skills. Given all this we see how cognitive and psycholinguistic processes involved in learning.
Biologically the sake of learning English is very beneficial, however, which stresses is largely social, as with learning the language opens many doors in other countries. We will have more job opportunities, we can enrich our knowledge, work in our country in response to those foreigners who feel intimidated by not knowing our language, in short, much more. That is why all colleges should offer courses in English for their students and schools should increase the hours devoted to this.
I hope that this course remains the same pair wings future generations
Good Bye !

Ideas for a better Faculty =)
If you told me what I think It could be improve here, in the Faculty, I could say that, in general is good, that we have a lot of thing or kind of privileges that other faculties don't have like the fact of have "taca-taca" and "ping-pong" tables, or have video games and stuff like that.
However there a few things that could be improve, for example we have a gym but It's falling to pieces, and a lot of students don't even know where it is. Maybe could be more publicity to the gym and students cuold pay just a little money, and this money it'll be usefull to improve the equipment in the gym.
Other important thing that could be improve is the library. Yes is beautifull and big, but I think the toilet is too far of it. At the same time, if we look the computers in the library, we could see that are too old and slow, and despite the we've done some petitions to rechange it, there's no result :/.
Other important point is that, paradoxically, we does not have a nursing, and in case od a headache or something like that... where we can go? to the hospital?. I think that is a really important aspect to improve because, all the time we are "exposed" to different things, for example, one of the first Anatomy practics I felt really bad, I were with dizziness and after that we had other important lecture, so I couldn't go to my house and I must wait to feel better by my self.
That is my experience, so maybe It coul be more things to improve, but I think this are the most important.

The Brain !
Last week we had a very important talk with Dr. Pedro Maldonado. ICBM's teacher, which our Physiotherapists already knew. He spoke about the myths and truths about the brain there. There were many interesting things, from which extracting ransom some excerpts from his book.
"There is no time to lose as everything important about the brain is decided
by the age of three”
“There are critical periods when certain matters must be taught and learnt”
“But I read somewhere that we only use 10% of our brain anyway”
“I’m a ‘left-brain’, she’s a ‘right-brain’ person”
“Let’s face it – men and boys just have different brains from women and girls”
“A young child’s brain can only manage to learn one language at a time”
“Improve your memory!”
“Learn while you sleep!”
Each point was treated by Dr, explaining whether it was a myth or a reality. After that we had the opportunity to ask questions related to our race and the issue he was trying.
These talks are very important professionals in our career and that enlarge our knowledge and we learn about other issues in our profession is not widely spoken.
An extract from the conclusion of his book points out the importance between education and health professionals, marking the importance of learning different topics to educate the people. Reads:
"The bridges between neuroscience and education are still too few. This analysis of
myths about the workings of the brain clearly shows that greater co-operation between the two domains is needed. Any educational reform which is truly meant to be in the service of students should take into account neuroscientific studies and research, while maintaining a healthy objectivity. Similarly, brain researchers should not exclude themselves from the world of education and the broader implications of their work. They need to be ready to explain it as understandably and accessibly as possible. It will be through the exchange between the different disciplines and players (researchers, teachers, political leaders), that it will be possible to harness the burgeoning knowledge on learning to create an educational system that is both personalised to the individual and universally relevant to all".
I hope you continue making us talk like this, so we have improved both our language and our knowledge :)
See you :*

Abortion, right or wrong?
Hi classmates! Well, today I talk about the my personal opinion about the contraceptive system in Chile, and the abortion.
I didn’t come the day of the talk of Doctora Lorena Binfa. She is one of our teachers, and really I admire her because she is very intelligent. According to studies and releases the Obstetrics School, there is government politics that aims to regulate the fertility of the country. The objectives include:
a) Reduce maternal mortality rate, related in a major way with induced abortion illegal.
b) Reduce infant mortality rate, related to the deterioration of living standards in areas of high fertility population.
c) Promote the welfare of the family, promoting responsible parenthood, which allows, through appropriate information, exercise and the right to a paternity conscious.
The National Health System of Chile adopted a rule which allows the professional midwives to prescribe contraceptives.
Though the contraception is controlled in our country, there exists a topic that many discussions generate nowadays, I refer to the abortion.
In our country, the abortion is illegal; no professional of the health is authorized to realize it. It is for this that has tried to finish with the not wished pregnancies, using good contraceptive methods.
There exist both the spontaneous abortions and the induced ones. The first ones only can prevent with a good diagnosis and opportune treatment of associate pathologies. The second can be clinical or provoked only for being an unwanted gestation.
Personally I don’t agree to realize abortions if the fetus is in good conditions and his mother also.
In case they exist pathologies that put in risk the life of both should to him realize all the clinical procedures in order to improve the situation. If the prognosis of life of sick baby is negative, and we know that die after birth the decision will be left to the family, they will choose between ending the life before birth, or let nature take its path. Personally I would allow the fetus was born, and that is their right.
Of this form, I don’t agree with abortion in those not planned or not wished pregnancies, so as already I said it, the baby un development has the right to be born.
We all agree that it is a complicated topic, of which it is possible to converse for a long time; nevertheless each one must form his own opinion about this.

Stress is defined as "Internal experience that creates an imbalance the individual psychological and results internal environmental factors, organization where you work or the people around you ".
In our daily life we are exposed to many situations that can cause stress, This can cause symptoms such as anxiety, depression, aggression, sleep disturbances,diseases directly related to body system), regardless of its form of presentation, we will say that stress is bad widespread is more evident in people with intense lifestyle and that in most cases are not aware of the problem.
According to a research:
Stress management is the ability to maintain control when situations, people and events make excessive demands. What can you do to manage your stress? What are some strategies available to them? some tips for this can be:
Look around: See if there is anything I can do to change their situation.
Learn to relax better: Meditation and breathing exercises have proved very effective in controlling stress. Practice clearing your mind of disturbing thoughts.
No work overload: Concerned about all the work that is pending. Handle each task as it comes, or selectively according to priorities.
Avoid extreme reactions: Why hate when you might get away with a small rebuke? Why fret when you're nervous?
Get enough sleep: Lack of rest just aggravates stress.
Avoid self-medication or escape: Alcohol and drugs can mask stress. Not help to address the problems.
These tips and others help people manage stress. We as students, we have a very heavy schedule, we must follow these steps in order to stay relaxed and be able to comply with the requirements of the university. This is why we are taught many workshops on stress management, where they teach repirar to exercise, among many other things.
See you classmates, kisses !

My dear Santiago :)
Well in this blog, the topic is free, and I’m going to talk about my city, because this year is the bicentenary of Chile!
Santiago is a big city but not that much as other cities around the world, but, anyway, It's full of nice places to go and a lot of things to do. One of my favourite place to go is the oriental garden in the San Cristobal Hill, this place is so beautifull, plenty of flowers and green, it's ideal to take a little breake and just relax.
Other place that I love is the Forestal park and places near it, Lastarria Neighborhood.I think this is a really beautifull and nice neighborhood were it mix the nature with bohemian things, like literature and stuff. There is the Emporio La Rosa a kind of cafe where it sells ice cream of extranges or unusuall flavors like rose ice cream. A good idea is go to the Aviation Square in a summer nigth, there is a big fountain that turn on a lot of ligths and change colors in armony with the water, and be aeating a delicius ice cream of the Bravissimo gelatery that is like three blocks away.
Coming back with San Cristobal Hill, in this place we found a lot of different things to do like go to the swimming pool, go to the Zoo, go to the restaurant or just walk. You could go up in "funicular" or "teleferico" and enjoy of a great view of the hill.
Also, If you wanna go out at nigth o go to a party, you could visit streets like Suecia Avenue or Republica maybe. I hope you enjoy Santiago! :)

Emergency Contraception Pill.
Hi everyone! Today I’m going to talk about the Emergency Contraception Pill (the levonorgestrel).
The debate about levonorgostrel is because some say this pill is contraceptive, and other says that is abortive. In fact, this is a mechanism through multiple actions that attempt to prevent fertilization of an egg (contraceptive action) and failing it, and conceived a new human being, prevent implantation or nesting in the uterus (an abortifacient action). If the contraceptive action fails or if the mechanism is applied after fertilization, it manifests a powerful abortifacient mechanism that prevents implantation of fertilized egg. For me this method is an abortifacient, for the reasons mentioned. This pill prevents the formation of a new life, either to prevent conception or implantation.
This topic is very complex, because exist a big debate about that. As future midwifery, I must know the characteristics, effects and complications of this pill. And for this, we must read a lot of documents and papers about this topic. In this time, I’m referring to paper of Doctor Valenzuela. He said that the levonorgestrel have a postovulatory action, but the Doctor Croxato said that levonorgostrel haven’t a postovulatory action, because that has no built-in mechanism of action studies. The first of them say textually: “If LNG EC is used 0 to 24 h after the intercourse (12 h average), it shall not have any effect at the day of ovulation or after, so, in this condition, its maximal effectiveness should be 56.1%. The maximal effectiveness of LNG EC used 25-48 h after coitus should be 38.2.%, and so on shows the maximal expected effectiveness of LNG EC, as an exclusive anovulatory drug, used from 1 to 5 days postcoitus and the observed effectiveness found in the three studies…”
In our government the contraception not sanctioned, but abortion is recognized as a crime by the statute, and life is a law supported by it.
Well, this topic given for a long conversation and each person has his own opinion.
See you! :*
