Animals and pets

Some people says that they are animal lovers, but I don´t agree with that concept. Sometimes the "animal lovers" are no more tan a comercial thing, only another industry, only another way to exploit. Anyway, today I´m going to talk about my relation with animals.

When I was a child I had one cat but I didn´t worried of him. Now is so different, I Have seven cats, I dont like to call they "pets", I prefer consider they as "special friends"that must be respect and be cared. They are called: "Jouni", "Rayita", "Gata negra", "Gata negra peluda", "Gata negra chica", "Larguirucho", "Gato piturriento" and sometimes others foreigners join them

             

I love animals, I respect them. So I reject the use of animals for medical research. They are not an object. For that and others reasons I became vegetarian, not long ago but the important thing is not consider they like a properties or goods. I think the same about the zoos or wear fur coats. I try not to use things that contains some animal derivate, but is vey difficult. I think that even buy an animal as a pet is wrong.          

In future I hope that the animals are considered as human being, not as equals, obviously, but with the same rights, they feel, they suffer and they can be happy with Little, only with love and respect.

POST 4: SUMMARY FROM A CAREER-RELATED ARTICLE

"Banksy gives Ronald McDonald's clown shoes a shine" By Jonathan Jones
http://www.theguardian.com/culture/jonathanjonesblog/2013/oct/17/banksy-mcdonalds-new-york

The article is about an art performance made by the English artist called himself "Bansky"realized in South Bronx (United States). The action of arts puts a young bootblack polishing the big red boot of a giant Ronald McDonald "statue". 

Banksy's Ronald McDonald statue

But the article center is the actual condition of some contemporany artist like Bansky that are serving a double active membership. Jones think that Bansky is an a political artist and at the same time he participated in the art market thus his art becomes less subversive. Jones take another art action for explain his point of view: Bansky sold some of his work of art to some tourists in a low price but his works as a street artist in that moment increases in value



For all this, Jonathan Jones qualifies the Bansky's work as naive yet the impact that he cause in his fans, this situation is as a comercial speculation. The "mock" of Bansky is very small compared with the internal sitation of United States. It in its own structure United States is a satire so the work of Bansky is overshadowed, an foreigner that come to show us the bad things of a country from inside of it is not convincing for Jones.

Japanese animation

Hi!, today I'm going to talk about my favourite Japanese animation. When I was a child the Japanese animation was a really good thing to view in the T.V. and this it no changed to much. I liked to see "Dragon Ball" and "Caballeros del zodiaco"  because they had many fights and action. If I would to choose now one Japanese animation maybe will be "Evangelion".



Evangelion is a animation series created by the anime studio Gainax and was both written and directed by Hideaki Anno. Evangelion belong to the science fiction genre that centres around machines or "Evas" controlled by people from inside in the context of a futuristic Tokyo  after a worldwide catastrophe. This series represent a dystopia topic. Also the history of this animation I like the art and the visuality of that, but the most important thing in Evangelion is the background that mix philosophy and religion with other contemporary topics like psychoanalysis and the drama of the war times and the human loss of sense. Definitely I like this kinds of topics and this influences my life and my point of view over a lot of things.

A country I would like to visit

Hi everyone
Today  I'm going to talk about a country I would like to go. In first place, I may to say that I never travel out from Chile but this is not a bad thing for me, I think that Chile is a beautiful country to go all over . So, if I would choice another country I Would prefer a country near of Chile. I like the American culture, so I Would like to travel to Peru. I would like to know its local society, its history and its landscapes. I know that the Peruvian culture is very rich and diverse, I'm interested in its pre-Columbian past, in its art and culture. Is for that reason that I would like to visit Machu Picchu, not only in a touristic way, I would like to know about architecture and others artistic expressions. Also, I would like to know others places in the country like Lima and its museums like the MALI museum. I would like to travel throw its Amazon landscapes too. Finally, I think that Peru would be a very exciting place to travel, for the possibility to know its culture or only for enjoyment

                          

My ideal job

Hello, this is the first post to english class and I'm gonna talk about my ideal job. It's very difficult to my talk about an ideal job or something like that, because in arts everything is unstable and uncertain, specially in Chile, but thinking in future definitely deserves it.

I’m hoping to find a good job in a museum or another institution related with arts, maybe being a curator, a investigator or art critic with a decent salary and good work atmosphere. Maybe I would like to take some degrees in the area, in Chile or another country to teaching in some educational center and principally, make investigation. I like music too, I play the guitar and I had some rock bands in the past and who knows, maybe some day I will be a millionaire rockstar jajaja. As well, in conclusion I must be considered every possibilities and be open mind if I want to take a job in the art area.
