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.

¿Para qué un día sin carro? Es la pregunta que formula Diego Ariztisabal frente a la cuota que cumplió una vez más Bogotá el pasado 8 de Febrero de 2013. El columnista reclama cómo muchas personas madrugaron aun más o salieron temprano de sus oficinas para no tener que lidiar con éste hecho, mientras pusieron a prueba su paciencia montándose a una "cápsula" con ventanas cerradas y poco oxígeno. Pero Aristizabal se muestra inconforme frente al hecho que el propósito de éste día debería ser de conciencia acerca de problemáticas como: irresponsabilidad al volante, contaminación ambiental o el mismo estado en el que se encuentran las vías en Bogotá.

Me pareció interesante  escribir acerca de este tema , por el simple hecho que ése jueves en la tarde, yo estaba cansada, con hambre y con demasiadas tareas. Por ende no me convenía llegar tarde a casa, y lo último que quería hacer era montarme en tan caótico sistema de transporte público.

Entonces, concuerdo con Aristizabal con el hecho que, sí, el día sin carro debería ser de reflexión, en cuanto a esas problemáticas, pero también recalco, que especialmente en éste país, lo que se espera de un día en el que se tendía que promover  una social más humana, sea un caos completo.En un país en el que se aprovecha esta clase de días para cobrar más caro el pasaje, o en el que los carros cometen las imprudencias mas absurdas pero con terribles consecuencias  poniendo en riesgo la vida de ancianos, hombres, mujeres y niños en la vía. No existe tal cultura y si se carece de valores mucho más se va a carecer la importancia sobre el poco "medio ambiente" que nos queda.

Con cada columna que leo y con cada escrito que estoy haciendo espero enriquecerme más como persona moral y forjarme como una ciudadana, como ser consciente, no dependiente.

Los técnicos de informática: creadores del progreso y del desempleo a la ve, ésto es lo que Gustavo Estrada resume después de relatar cómo su sobrina, ubicada en Miami, fue sometida a una cirugía que realizó un robot. as allá de pensar lo extraordinariamente avanzada que es hoy la tecnología, Estrada se muestra inconforme ante la creciente tasa de desempleo que ésta genera. También proyecta niveles desconocidos -hasta ahora- de adelantos científicos que podrían reemplazar manos y cerebros aceptando también que el uso de tecnologías innovadoras es importante.
Frente a esta situación, yo, una adolescente de quince años, vergonzosamente consumista, con la tecnología rodeándome a diario en todas las maneras posibles me pongo a pensar que éstas problemáticas, tan graves, tan serias, nunca pasan por mi cabeza.Si, es increíble admitirlo, analizo la situación y me doy cuenta que el futuro, frente a mis ojos da indicios de cuán perjudicial o benéfico puede llegar a ser.
Poníendome en el bando del columnista, me quedo consternada al pensar que en un futuro seres "humanos" sin poder realizar ninguna clase de esfuerzo o actividad de destreza física o mental y alegando cuán incómodo me hes hablar con alguien que no se despega -literalmente- de su móvil. En cuanto a lo que genera este suceso: desempleo, pienso que una cosa lleva a la otra, en este caso el desempleo genera delincuencia y frente a la delincuencia, las autoridades toman medidas mas estrictas de prevención costosas que finalmente se salen de nuestro bolsillo. También recalco la posición de los médicos; ellos aclaran que los robots no manejan el 100% de las intervenciones quirúrgicas, pero si hablamos de un futuro no muy lejanos, seamos realistas, esto nos afecta a todos! Largas listas de empresas de cadena optimizan un trabajo lento y reemplazan la mano de obra reduciendo así más y más empleos que cualquier persona va a necesitar, el día de mañana, pongo de ejemplo a mí generación y a las que vienen en camino... ¿qué nos espera?

So, I made my review this week, about the Carlos Granés column. He asks himself if is really need instalation of  microphones and cameras to watch the city behavior; crimes of any kind as political and  common crimes, and he talks about one of his favorites countries; London, where the crime rate has downed in the pasts last years because the instalation of publics and privates cameras. 
I take the idea of Granes, but I'm disagree of how much this is going to work, because I thing that kind of system; as creative it is, is going to fail at any time because society looks for avoided it. It's ironic, that's why we're constantly creating new ideas and systems to politics and social problems; in this case: crimes.

Last week, I read Diego Ariztisabal's column about the "Day without car" that takes place once again in Bogotá, the past 8 Febrary. Diego claims that this day should be a refletion day about irresposabilty on the streets and ambiental contamination. Also he tells how ironic is for him how people says the same thing about this day but hours after, they're going crossing the red light putting people's life on danger. So, for people like me that day was insane, the public transport usually is terrible, but this thursday was worst.
I made this because for me was really interesting write about something that is so daily to us, but that other minds really think about it and has a cause,should be on a different point of view and should be able to change people's mind. I hope next "day without car" will be better.

There was something really interesting that caught my attention to read Gustavo Estrada's colum about the unemployment rate. He told us how his niece was  attended by a robot who replace doctor's place to do the surgery, and, yeah, he was shocking. Estrada's worried about how fast robots are in a position of been actually doctors at this point, and even more corcerned about how this facts are affecting the unemployment in Colombia and all around the world.
He seems the world, in a -not so far future- of maybe 10, 15 or even 8 years, when machines going to be on any kind of company, bussines, etc;  replacing manpower or human labor. He also tells how easy is replace activities that includes physic or mental skill for some kind combination of software or hardware.
By the time I read this, I started to realize, that I actually never been worried or even thinking about this subjects that are front of my life all the time, and it's going to be dangerous to the future people, kids, grandfathers, etc. And I ended think that If I want to have kids or get a future, i need start to think more about those things.
