Hello guys! Today I would like to talk to you about Isabel Allende. Well she is a well known writer and that's what made her famous, some of her most famous books are "La casa de los espíritus", "Paula", etc. I know that you would expect me to say that I admire her because I like her books or how she writes but the real reason is other. Isabel Allende is a really passionate feminist and I think she has made an awesome job empowering women, not only chilean women but also around the world. I have never really noticed her until last semester, I mean I knew she was a writer and everything but last semester I had to watch this video:
And I really liked how she treated the current situation of women worldwide. In a few words the video shows her talking about her experience about being a part of the olympic games in a really funny way and a couple of stories of women that she personally met and wrote about. With different stories about those girls Isabel showed the people how is the situation of thousands of women around the world and how they are being treated like they are an inanimate object that you can own and how we all need to make something to change that and make the world a better place for everybody. If I had a chance to talk to her I would like to ask her about what made her open her eyes about this situation being a privileged person for being who she is and how would be her ideal world regarding the situation the she exposed. Commennt down below who is the chilean person that you admire the most!
Heloo people Today I visited this http://fishmech.info/www.victorycities.com/ and was learning about that new project.I read about the benefits of it and what kind of media coverage it has gotten. Well, this project has a good side and a bad side. The good side is that it would help to prevent many problems like crime, pollution (for example India that is so poluted you can see it from outter space), it would be cheaper and lots of other things that really sound like an utopia, the problem with this is that it doessn't sounds real at all. I trully think that is really good idea to find a way to make cheaper and eco-friendly cities but the bad thing is that someone is going to have almost total control of the people living in this Victory City. Some of the bad things I noticed are that there would be a police onitoring 24/7 every part of the city which I think is okay if it's in some public places that could be dangerous but every place, for me is way too much... another thing is that it would be like an unitary system for everything, it would be like making a whole city live under the same roof which I think it could cause more problems, because making so many people live in harmony under the same roof would be really hard, making all this people happy would be so hard!!! I think this kind of project may be popular in the future because the world right now is facing all the problems that this city solves, but I don't think that it would actually solve them, I think it could make them worse. Let me know what you think in the comments :)
