A couple of good websites of psychology

The first websites that I chose was the encyclopedia of psychology cause it´s a grate place to find almost everything related with this huge and complex study area. You can find publication and documents, organizations and institutions of psychology, paradigms and theories, anyway, it´s a really good place to start to discover and learn from the first thing you need to know of this fantastic and infinitive universe, to the most specific details of the areas that you find more interesting.

Here is the link: http://www.psychology.org/

The second website that I chose was a really specific one, in fact, it´s an articule called “Relations Between Community-Social Psychology, Critical-Social Psychology, and Social Psychology of Liberation: A Latin American Answer”. This paper argued that this three areas (community-social psychology, critical-social psychology, and social psychology of liberation) response to the problems and needs suffered by societies in Latin America. All the investigation of these three areas is destinated to try to understand, from psychology, the problems that we, as latinamericans, share.
I chose this articule couse it´s one of the areas of psychology that I found more interesting, cause teach us to be critical (if we don’t learn to question our society we cant´t changed it), to understand that the collective work take us to find collective golds and also fight for a fear society, and finally, social psychology of liberation, with the other two areas, remind us that we have to recover our memory, that we can´t forget that we are latinameticans, and we have a past, a history, a whole culture that made us what we are today, and we most be proud of that.

My last weekend

Considering that my last weekend was the last weekend before we returned to classes after more than a month of the campus mobilization, i thought that it was the perfect oportunity to celebrated and and drink a toast with my friend becouse then it would be just impossible with all the book that we would had to read.
So, i started my celebration on Friday. That afternoon, i went to our faculty because we had an important meeting, but just when that came to and end, we started to prepared ourselfs for the big celebration.
We bought a lot of wine and made a huge "navegado" (hot wine and oranges on a big pot) to start the big party and then it was all laughing and dancing all night long. I have to say that it was a pretty long night (my boyfriend and I arrived home at 5 am), but it was really really fun.

On Saturday, my boyfriend and i woke up very late (at 3 pm jaja) and we cook some luch (at fist it´s always a disaster, cause we know nothing about cooking, but at the end our inventions always tasted really good J ). Then we study for a couple of hours (I swear, we study, but we read just a few pages jaja).
Finally, we conclude our day with a couple of beers in a pub on Bellavista.

On Sunday, I woke up very early and I just read all day long (pretty boring I know, but we can´t live in a party forever, don’t we?...mmm maybe we can jaja).

My favorite song

With my own too hands Ben Harper

I chose this song because, somehow, it reflect what I try to do, with my own two hands, every day in my life, what I want to do to make this world a better place. This song it´s full of hope, but it´s not an empty and confortable hope, no, it said that we have to work to change the world, that we have to used our own two hands, that we can clean up the earth, that we can make this place a kinder place, but if we don’t do something about it, that if we don’t work for it, this wold will not ever be different.
But to do that we have to work together, that´s what the song means when it said “but you have to used, used your own to hand”, because, it´s a huge huge battle, a battle that we will never win if we try to do it alone.
If you want to see the video, check it out in you tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8YEaSH_Sp0 (I prefer the acoustic version, so this is the link of that one, but in youtube it´s he original tooJ (and there ever a better version, it sings Ben Harper with Eddie Vedder (vocalize of Pearl Jam), but I haven´t find it yet. If someone have it, it would be get that you send it to me jajaja)).
