Stop Bullying.

Bullying.


Bullying is a huge problem that new generations has been having at school. So many children are being involved together everyday in sort of bullying. The big question is, what exactly is bullying, should we worry about this big issue and what we can do to stop bullying?


First of all, Bullying is about power from one person over another, "a bully" wants to hurt the other person, it is not an accident and they do this everyday changing in a bad way the life of their victim.


Always, the bully seems to be self-confident, smarter, better or more popular than their classmates or coworkers. The bully has different ways to harassment over someone.

There are different ways that the bully do over other people, those are; calling them by names, say or write nasty things about them, sometimes they leave their victims out of activities, they ignored them and they make them feel uncomfortable or scared doing some damages over their things, they simply hit them or just they make them do things that they do not want to do.


Those attitudes need to stop, because we should not allow the problems related with bullying continue damaging our society. We need to do some things to attack bullying from school in order to prevent, resolve and eliminate this awful attitude from our job and school system.


On the other hand, I think that the victims or people who has been bullied need to brake the silence. Is very important that they can tell someone even if it is hard to do it. Children can talk with their teachers or their parents. But is extremely important talk with someone in order to can do something to fight against this problem.


If you see that someone is being bullied do something, tell an adult or help them to do something to stop this attitude. Do not remain quiet, because if you are only watching you may give the impression that this behavior is normal.

At school every student becomes part of the solution. Do not be part
of bullying and do not enojoy of the silence.



Everything starts breaking the silence !!!

Today´s World.

What is happening in our today society?

Have you ever sat down and really thought about the modern society problems that we have.

Do you value your belongings or your physical appearance more than you value friends, family, love, or yourself?

I have come to believe these issues has become a way of life in today’s society. The individual´s interests seems to be more important than everything. This means that for us is more important the way we look or our possessions in order to bring us happiness.

We use these possessions and our external appearance to feel successful. This "good" external appearance is the way to solve all our problems. We go through life contemplating that inner well being depends on what we have or do. We identify ourselves and others by what we wear, what we have, and what brands we sport.

Today´s human beings feels that is more important the way that we dress or the way people see us because of the status we gain from them. Appearance is much more important than it should be. I know that the physical appearance is the first thing that someone notice about you. But we are more than our external appearance, we are body and soul.

We can see this problem with young girls, they feel that their appearances are more important that their personality or their inside feelings. Last week I was so impressed about the sad news. A young girl died because of the disease that many young girls are dying, anorexia. Girls are dying because for her are more important her body appearance.

It seems that this horrible way of death is becoming fashionable and the guilty is the individualism that we have and because we do not care the world, the humans nor God creation.

However, we need to do something about this modern society problem, we have a big responsibility which is to protect our own life and the life that people that we love. We need to demonstrate that we are a God creation and everybody are equal in relation to the others.

We need to think and do something inmediately about this important problem...

Education, Why do we need it?

Education - Why Do We Need It ?


We Don't Need No Education... ♫ ♫ ♫

As the title of the song from Pink Floyd I think that we absolutely need education and know more about that. That´s why last tuesday I could realized in a different way what is the real importance and the meaning that education has.


As I mentioned previously, last week I went to the central library to listen a seminar by Humberto Maturana who is a very known Chilean philosopher. He talked about of the challenges of the education that Latin America and Europe have. This seminar was so interesting for me, because this philosopher not only talked about his own thoughts about the formal education he really made us think about the real sense that educationation has in the present time.


Since I was thinkining about becoming a teacher I have been feeling that teaching is a very important task that also represents a big responsibility with our society, due to the main purpose of education is enable students to make a success life. Education to Maturana means " to draw out", facilitating realisation of self- potential and talents of an individual. And teachers have this big responsibility in their backs.


As we know education is a process in which an individual is encouraged and helped to develop his or her potential; it may also help for equipping an individual so he or her is a productive member for the society. Through teaching and learning, the individual acquires and develops knowledge and skills. There is an important distinction between education, which relates to a transactive process between a teacher and student, and learning, which is a process that happens internally for a student.


Maturana said that the education not only it is refers with the books that we need to read at school to have more knowledge, we need to do of our education something significant to our lives doing everything from our emotions, because they are the way to learn how to live in this society.


I am looking forward to learn more aspects about education, because it opens new doors to observe new knowledge.
