Vittorio: In fact, I thinked a lot and I´m against

Sarah: But... why, we have everything to make it, we have the money, the resources , etc... please, tell me why you don´t want to do it.

Sarah: Hey Vittorio, I know that you aren´t sure about your decision, but I promess you are going to be fine saying "yes". We can choose the sex of our child, his eye colour, his hair colour, etc. It is a better way for having a child, please believe me.

Vittorio: I´m sorry, but I´m not agree with this. I think that is inappropriate and we doesn´t have the right to decide those things, I preffer the natural way and is an elitist form to have a child. Furthermore this metod is for the people whom can´t have childs.

Chile and New Zealand

In both countries we have some similarities and differences, in our culture, religion, habits, etc.
First of all the weather of New Zealand it is like the weather of the south of our country, so the agriculture it's like ours because the weather influences, they have like the same type of potato
and other products. They are one of the countries most dedicated to the livestock, they have sheep and cow, the same as Chile,

In our country the most important aborigine culture is the mapuche and in NZ is the Maori, but the
most important difference is how the society and the government accept this aborigines cultures. In New Zealand the Maori are respected by the society and they have influence in the politic, they have a political party and the people who is descendant from Maori are very proud of that. But in Chile our aborigine are discriminated by a part of the society and the government doesn't care too much about the situation of the mapuche and their problems.

A difference that is the mos important it is that the New Zealand was founded by the British empire and Chile was founded by the Spanish empire. this made a lot of differences in the habits, like the hobbies, sports, music, food habits, etc.

For example the sport more play in NZ is the rugby and in Chile is the soccer. For the New Zealanders the most important time to eat is the dinner, and in our culture is in the lunch time.

What is to be a New Zealander

The life of a New Zealander is very special and a little different than ours. In the common life They Have similarities. The father go to work and the children to the school, but here in New Zealand They have a mosaic of cultures, you can see different people everywhere from different cultures and religions. Here in New Zealand the people is open minded, They are more emphatic and They Have always respect to the others.
To be a New Zealander is a great experience, here We have to be more respectful, punctual, tide, clean and think in the others, Because the respect is essential in Their society.

Furthermore Their dinner is the Most Important time to eat in the day, Their breakfast and lunch is not too much important.

The New Zealander have a lot of abilities, in sports, music and academic issues. Very Important for They is very good to do what They are doing, So They practice a lot, after school and everyday of the week They Have Extra activities, like piano lessons, soccer practice, hockey practice, etc.

In the structure of Their family, the mother work for the house, take care how the children are going in the school and father works until the night.

Letter to fairtrade


                                                                                                                  18 of march, 2015

Dear Fillipo,

How do you do? I hope well. some days ago I met an important organization, this is an NGO called fairtrade, this is very famous in Europe, but no so much in Brasil. This organization helps por people to disadvantaged farmers like you, that do not have too many possibilities to comercialize their products with the public.

 

This is the moment when fairtrade appears, this NGO offers help to the producers like farmers, or the farmers can ask for help to fairtrade and they can establish some conexions between you and the people that you want them to buy your corn.

 

Fairtrade can help you to finance the school and the uniform of your 2 childrens and when you make a deal with fairtrade, they sell your product 10% more expensive tan the original Price that you put and they sell your product in an established shop in the city where you are. Your corn will be under the label of fairtrade, but if you think that the people will not buy the corn, because is a 10% more expensive, don´t be worried, as the people know that fairtrade is helping you.

 

I think this is a very good chance for you, because this NGO has the mission to help people like you and can solve the problema of where you can sell your product, the only difference is that it is a Little expensive, but you still earn the same, so think it!

 

Regards

Ignacio

Invictus, Movie Review

Invictus (2009)
MPAA Rating: p613
Reviewed by Ignacio Herrera M on 30/10/2014
Genre: Sports drama
With: Matt Damon, Morgan Freeman
Directed by: Clint Eastwood
Distribuitor: Warner Bros

Invictus is one of the most movies that Clint Eastwood Had done in his career of a movie director. Invictus is a movie that the principal theme is how the rugby can unify the people, missing their differences and making one population.

The writer and the director inspired in the gloomy 90s of South Africa. When Nelson Mandela takes office as presidentof South Africa after having been in jail and how Mandela triggered the anti racism in South Africa when the white people segregate the population of coloured people. In the particular case of rugby the produce that the coloured people prefer the foreing rugby teams than the national  team of rugby, the springboks. In this particular case rugby plays an important role in the population, because this competition that seems petty can unify or separate a complete country.

When Mandela assumes the charge of president of South Africa , he decides to finish with the racism. In the movie at the beggining, one of the scenes when Mandela enters to to the national palace, all the withe workers were preparing their stuff because they, think, that the president will fire them because they were withe. When Mandela saw the people preparing the stuff he called to his secretary because he wants to do a meeting with all the workers asking why they were preparing their stuff, because he doesn't fired them. The other ocassion was when Mandela enters to the rugby pitch to wish good luck to the players, but he only saw one coloured player in South Africa team. Mandela knows that the racism was in the sport too. But he saw the possibility to unify the country with the world cup of rugby that would be played weeks later in South Africa and this will be something in common between the withe and coloured population. Then the president and Francois Piennar worked together to make a motivation for the Springboks and make them understand how important  what was they were doing for their country.

I recommend you to see this movie because the actors were great, particulary Morgan Freeman as the president Mandela and the another that do it great was Matt Damon as the captain of the Sprinboks. The other thing I like from this movie was the message that gives, because sports, in this particular case rugby, can unify the people taking away the differences like the color of th skin, religion and culture.
