Hoe Green Are You?

Actually, this is a relevant and controversial topic, because the Global Warming’s theory and its dangerous consequences. For that reason has emerged a lot of friendly practices to prevent and to decrease its effects around the world.

For one hand, these practices we could learn them in our own houses; we don`t have to go to a specialized academy to obtain some information about that. In our personal computer we may look for information to prevent bad practices. 

For example, we could incorporate recycling practise in our own habits. I haven`t incorporated this habit in my behaviour. Anyway, there is some publicity that promote this conduct that allow use the garbage and not utilized material for produce new products; we could recycle plastic and papers or glasses.

Another example should be use a bike or a legs instead a car. I always prefer to walk or use my rollers for short distances… but when I go to my university I have to use the public transport because I spend about one and half hour to get there.

For another hand, there is a lot of eco-organizations than inculcate enviromentally friendly practices. I don`t supported anyone, because I’m involved in another organizations and I don`t have any time for this, and I really not interested in something like this. I believe that we have to get worried about the human being before, principally, teach them to safe the enviroment and not try to change or wash our minds.

Finally, I could say that  I haven`t done so much to reduce carbón footprint and I am not proud about that; I believe that is a common experience into my society, the Green style of life is missing in the society, since a simple idea that mention that is more convenient use a bus with one hundred of people than one hundred of cars.

My favourite class

How I said in older posts, I am studying psychology, an interesting career  in its different theory and paradigms, and different in its practise and techniques. I think that this is a strange, mysterious and attractive discipline, like some people who are studying actually this career.

In this career a class that I have considered like my favourite class had been “epistemology”. In all my life, I always had been interesting in philosophy and in the reflexive minds… epistemology for me is “the” conexión between a science or discipline like the psychology and the metaphysical thoughts; this last point make it very important to me.

Some psychologist just practise what they know, just practise their theories but usually they don`t doubt about what they know, about the origins and epistomologies approachs where their theories belong.

In my opinion, this is a damage for our discipline because I think that a really psychologist had to  know abput their own theories and practises in in depth. This idea willprevent harmful, mistakes and confusions with the people who we are working, that should be the last objective and purpose for our like professionals.

Finally, I think that the importance of epistemology in my own life as person and as professional will affect in my  reflection  and in my mind, because I will not accept anything what we think like “true”, if I don’t have any evidence about that…

Live the rationality that don’ forget our feelings

Summary News Psychologist.

Good evening, everybody,

today i’m going to make a summary aboout a news that i consider interesting, this news is about a topic that we studie in mi career, psychologist. I hope you enjoy it.

Scientits have created a comprehensive atlas of the adult human brain. This map was created form genetic analyses of about 900 specific parts of brains donated.

Seth Grant, who worke don the map, said that this is like the Rosetta stone for understandig the link between the genome and the brain, in that way, how genetic disorders impact and produce brain disease.

Beside, they say that analysis of the cortex revealed patterns (in gene) that corresponded to regions specific roles in the brain.

Actually, the investigators are working under way on donated tissues from both sexes because they want to check how consistent that genetic blueprint.

The scientists describe how they scanned the donated brains and then chopped them into tinyt, tiny pieces. And for every single lump theyu measured activity levels for all the genes in the human genome.

The investigator mentioned, Grant, said that in the future they’ll try to look to connect the genetic brain atlas with other genetic studies or brain scans of abnormal or diseased brains. This because they say “that could highlight genes that play a role in brain conditions and point the way to drug treatments that dampen down or ramp up gene activity”.

Thanks for reading, see you next J

P.S.: The atlas, which overlays the genetic results on to a 3D image of the brain, is freely available for researchers to use online.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Good day,

today i like to talk about a movie that i saw one week ago. This is a special film to me because i saw it with my girlfriend, it was a wonderful moment, I love spend my time in her company. This is an american romantic science fiction film, this film is a little complicate to understand it.

Sometimes, I think that I am like the main character (Joel Barish – Jim Carrey), and I enjoy be like him because I don`t find people interesting when they live superficial lives, I respect them but i don`not really find interesting to be like them. 

About the movie, we could say that somebody called Clementine, the Joel’s girlfriend, after a fight hired with a company to erase all her memories of their realtionships. Joel  discovering this and do the same thing.

I don´t talk anymore about the movie; anyway, i hadn`t taken the choise that Joel took to erase his memory, because he wanted to forget to his ex-girlfriend. I prefer remember the good times, living in the golden years… not only the bad moments.

Finally, i could say that this movie give us a lot of feelings and ideas to feel and think. For example, think about love, about the suffering, about how a human can stand pain or finish devastated.

Thanks for reading =)
