"El maestro que intenta enseñar sin inspirar en el alumno el deseo de aprender, está tratando de forjar un hierro frío" Horace Mann

La educación actual no es fácil para ninguno de los dos bandos, es decir; ni para el docente y mucho menos para el estudiante. Así mismo, se evidencia un claro desinterés de la comunidad hacia el aprendizaje.
 Como alumna, veo a diario una indiferencia en la comunidad estudiantil para el estudio pero tengo que admitir que ésta no se dá porque sí, en muchas ocasiones, los estudiantes nos sentimos abrumados frente a muchas actitudes. Por ejemplo; algunos docentes forjan un temor en el estudiante, y éste, no se interesa en la clase, no está tranquilo y tendrá miedo a una mala nota por no entender o comprender. Pero si se formara una confianza habría una distinta disposición, ni el maestro ni el estudiante se estresarían.
Termino diciendo que cualquier disciplina JAMÁS se va a adquirir a la fuerza, e incluso si es lo que más nos guste, porque la dinámica de aprendizaje persuade al más desinteresado.

Last week's review, was about one of my favorite things in the world; Movies , specifically The Cannes film festival. The column was titled "The audience has the word" and was written by Juan C. Ortíz. Talks about that, how the audiences reacts in front a project and it says that if is bad, the movie receives jeers, if is acceptable; the public is silent, but if the movie is innovative, people just make a blast of applauses.
I find those kind of festivals soo great, in the way that its not just people seeing documentals or any kind of visual project other and other, if not, is people making innovations and statements to film industry, and, they start to create careers of long and promising filmmakers that cannot be longer the same types of any movie.
I hope non in a long future, to be there and be part of a project, also would see with my own eyes other projects and be able to judge them and be part of that, you know.

My last review is about be a teenager in Colombia. Got to say, that this write let me down, because in it, said that more than a 30% of the teenagersare struggling with drugs, are having problems like physical and psychological abuse or are pregnant. Those statistics were given to the society in alarm terms, cause the youthfulness we are growing to a un-healthy future, many of the teenagers are already in this "future".
Its sad you know, that since so young, the youth are fading in this society, nowadays its hard to survive; we all know that, but we've to be strong, other ways, life is going to eat us.
This is a wake up call to all the teenagers around the world, to all of us who are having bad times to get up and faced it to the day by day; cause I'm sure that we suffer now, but future it's going to be better, but if we don't bracing up, the future will be the same.

Last week I read Ana Cristina Restrepo's column called "word's value" that talks about that, I mean, she claims that in this age, the word has been damaged by the social networks and everybody can say and give their points of view (wich is good),but, hidding themselves being -face to face- talking with the real world.
I think that's definitly truth! Even I recorded in this social networks, my point of view is that anyone can steal a photograph online, put on in his/her website and pretend be somebody else, Not is just that fact, because other people give their real identities but,what for? for start posting any dummy things that goes for their head and also criticize the world what we live in. That's what Restrepo makes become upset, the fact that millions of people dare to criticize huge subjects that just poets like Shakespeare can criticize, and the worst; everybody applauds it. I include myself in this, beacuse I'm on this pages, but this review definitly makes me think more deeply, it's true. I think people can writes a lot but if they don't have an straight attitude in -the flesh-, doesn't count. We have to start to think twice before talk that kind of situations.

My last review was about the latest meetings made by the goverment of Colombia to discuss with the "paras"  

a solution to make peace. The columnist says that its so wrong that those guys responsables of such a horrible crimes that turns our country to a violent state, ask for so many conditions for been able to talk with them, it's denigrating! And I've to say that I'm absolutely agree with her. The peace dialogues that the goverment made to open up ideas or solutions to make a "peaceful country" are totally out of control in the way that the requirements that this people asking for are not acceptables. Its just not right that they hurts the country whit attacks ,bombs, kidnap people, etc; and we have to make a confort zone for them.

I hope this year, they come together and talk as people, not as a murders they are, pay for what they have done and reach a solution. Seems like its the only way.

So, last time, I read this column about a subject that is kind of inusual on me; religion. The review was named "Franscisco; the pope of hope" and it was written by Jose Miguel Alzate. The column talks about how this new Pope can give a new vision around the world of the catholic church, also he says that Franscisco is giving a lot of talk about his low profile on things like, living in a simple home, and ride in a simple car. I actually very agree with the comments of Alzate , cause I have to admit that I really need to find myself in the past week, because I was kind of lost about everything, and I hadn't  the religion subject on me at all, but I decided to give it a chance, and try to understand the facts about this.

Maybe I'll not able to understand everything about this, but I really think that everyone have faith in something, and i'm not necesary speaking about religion, I'm speaking about something that everyone of us need to believe, something bigger and unattainable that in some kind of point is going to give us some kind of power ; for waking up daily, for go to school, to work, to be able to past the bad thing, to be positive.
It's my personal opinion and I'm hope this hasn't sound like I was a preach or something, LOL.

Last week, I read a review from the columnist Jorge Yarce, that talks about how far is going down the superior education in colombia, and he made an special enphasis in University. He claims that the local and most recognized universities of Colombia have lost their voice and opinion about social problematics.
When I started to read it, i was agree in the fact that, yes, the education has downed, but I have to say, is something that its been fixing down by the government and the teachers. But I disagree about the universities has supposed lose kind of voice, totally opposite! Right now all kind  of campaings, points of view, thinking, etc, getting posted or written on Twitter or any other social network, and not just online, also they try to make marches, protest against what they think is wrong. So I think that, actually, universities are on their best side of view of many years ago, I respect other opinions, and also know that maybe Jorge Yarce compares other years of education and sure may think -:what is happenig?!- but i disagree, i think their voices or points of view haven't missing.
