Just a fight: Who is the best?

Over many years has spoken about discrimination against African Americans people. Always it has been said that African American people are discriminated, mainly by their skin color; sometimes it is true. But there is also discrimination on the part of African Americans to the Americans people, Spanish people, European people, etc. Some reasons for this is that African Americans are very talented to dance very well, to sing, they are very good athletes; in addition with that talent, they earn a lot of money; we know it, but they exaggerate, and they think that they are the best of the world.

It is plain to see that in mixed schools, African Americans separate from others by choice, because they feel higher, make groups and they say that the American people don’t have talent. normally we see pictures about them are with a lot of money, many jewels, luxuries, etc and popularly are called "Niggas".

For example, in some music videos of African American singers, only show people with same skin color.

We must end with the famous stereotype: The Americans people discriminated to African American people, because both are discriminated.

A Latino in USA

Have you ever noticed in movies that servant, laborer, gardener are Latino? Can you name me two films where the judge, doctor, lawyer is Latino? Clearly we see "gringos" blond and blue eyes being the center of attention, but never miss the squat brown, which takes little account, or just not good looking enough.

The American people have a mixture of positive and negative thoughts of Latinos but practically they based on stereotypes rather than reality and depend largely on what media non-Latinos are inform or entertain.

The media frequently generate a negative view of Latinos and immigrants. And several of these prejudices about the largest minority group in the United States are reflected in the characters represented in television or film.

Generally are the conservative media, considered anti-immigrant and anti-Latino, who continue pigeonholing into certain roles to the Latino community. For example, repeatedly on conservative radio speeches identifies Latino ethnic Americans as “the others". Also, there are more radical statements, which dehumanize Latinos comparing them with cockroaches and transmitting the idea that are the “American slag”; it creates methodologies to generate their listeners respond with rejection against these communities.

The image that many Americans have about Latinos and immigrants is that they are people who have too many children, who hoard many of the jobs available, who refuses to learn English, or who are money recipients of government welfare, also that the most part of Latinos are undocumented, in other words,  they entered USA illegally. The way Americans perceive is strongly related beliefs they have about the potential impact of immigration. Usually citizens assume that Latino immigrants have a negative impact on employment and educational status or the security of the population.

Stereotypes are born largely of ignorance. These are the result of fear of everything that is unknown. These thoughts generate intolerance. It is difficult to pigeonhole a group, give identity, Is it possible even to speak of identity in a globalized world?

The Irish Republican Army, "an old way of solving problems"

For an English presentation I had to do some research of Ireland, and I was surprised by all the troubles and different ideas of the nation they have, but the thing that surprise me the most was the creation of the IRA.

Ireland divided into two creating Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland

The Ira was an Ireland terrorist group that wanted to erase the division of the two new Ireland's and go back to the traditional one. What was the problem with this group? the problem was that they were "terrorist" they hurt people (kids and older people) and they blamed and attack mainly England, because they thought that they were the reason of the division of Ireland, and the responsible for the economical problems they had.

IRA was supposed to disappear in 2005, in fact they made an arrangement to a cease-fire.

But, Why this kind of groups attack the people, and not directly the government? What can we do to prevent the creation of new groups like the Ira? Is the situation in Chile, in any way, similar to the one on Ireland? I think that there are lots of people that does not know how to act or how to express what they think, what they feel about the place where they live or the politics that rule them, or they just got tired of trying to be listen and realised that they would never be listen so they took action and start to attend and be part of groups like the IRA, feeling that they were doing things good, and that they were helping the people, like soldiers.

I also think that groups like the IRA are not the answer to all the problems that a country or a city can have, there are other ways to solve problems, and even if you have not been listen trough that way, then you have to form a bigger group and make the government hear, but the force will never be the way, the government has to change, has to improve and serve the people not the people serve the government.
Even though there are no longer active groups like the IRA in Chile, we have to keep in mind that we are going trough a difficult time, we are discovering that the people has a voice and that we can use it, the problem in Chile are the so called "encapuchados" they act in a wrong way, they can be students or just people from the street, or from who knows where that only want to destroy things and they only cause troubles, so although they are not a terrorist group they use violence and cause troubles for all the people that lives, or work near the streets where the mach is happening.

We have to realise that violence is not the way to solve things, and if we have something to say, we can say it, not shouting or destroying places, nowadays we have the Internet, and that is a pretty good tool and chance to say whatever we want to say and create followers, so we have to be careful with the things we said and try to work for a better community.

The sun rise, and im the same person.

My favorite song is Nada nuevo bajo el sol by Los Bunkers.
I love it because talks about how we try so hard  to get better,
It was writen by the Duran brothers, members of the band.
The video capt the atention because shows, differents situations of people hiding things, or trying to change their lifes.
This song has a very personal interpreteition, because the song talks about the things that we don´t talk, but how we try to get better every day, however we don´t change, because we are maybe to afraid to love, or get over the pass. People can related to the song, because everyone lies, and nobody wants to feel himself like a bad person. And everybody can undertend, becouse everyone have a moment when they feel alone, and lost.
The message is try to undertend  how we want sometimes that everybody accept us, but bay the end of the day we can´t hide our essence , we can  lie, and maybe convence others  that we are another  person, that  we don´t make big mistakes, but we do, and we try sometimes to change, and we try so hard.
This song help us to feel that we are not alone, that others try so hard everyday too, others feel the same. When the sun rise the next day, we are the same, and we keep trying, but nothing happens, and we are scared, im scared, and maybe if i was not afraid i wouldn´t wish to go back to the pass. Maybe like the song say, i just need somebody to be there, but not just anybody, someone who make me feel that when the sun rise im a new person, im not alone, and im not scared.

WHO YOU ARE

"Who you are" is a song wrote and sung by my favorite singer Jessie J.

This video is very simple, but use many things to draw my attention like the rain in your bedroom, that represents the worry in our life, but in the same time represents the hope.
She is alone in the room, being herself. 

Everybody see and feel this video in different ways, by means of our experiences, positive and negative things in the life, it is a typical song that touches the soul.

This video especially is to the teenagers, that they dont fall into the artificiality and they have a dream to strive for, that "its okey not to be okey" , this song says that.

It is a hopeful song, makes happy someone just listening to it.

"Tears don't mean you're losing
everybody's bruising
Just be true to who you are"

This song was very important to fans, because helps to out of depression and dispel to bad feelings.
This song is very important to me,  everytime I feel bad, I hear this song and I feel much better.

Jessie J.

JUST IMMERSE YOU AND ENJOY IT

One of my favorite songs is “Bajan” of the argentine blues and rock band called “Pescado Rabioso”, writer by the lead vocalist of the band, Luis Alberto "Flaco" Spinetta in 1973.

This was one of the first songs that I heard of "Pescado Rabioso" and it changed totally my  point of view about how enjoy, feel and interpreted the music that I had before.

"Bajan" produce me something beyond of the common and it's capable to make me feel, immerse and involve intensely in it.

For me is very difficult say the meaning of this song or any song because I've always thinking that we'll never be able to get into the mind of the writer so I just feel the melody, the rhythm and I get carry away by this.

However this could be interpreted like: we don't rush in the time because we lost every important moments and they'll never come back, praise for calm, not crossing the line into excess, to the madness, and that we have to pressing the brake, to stop a little bit. 

Here is the video of the song played in the "Bandas Eternas"  concert of 2009, in which one participated the "flaco" Spinetta with Gustavo Cerati. And it is one of the most important concerts because it was shortly before the accident that Gustavo suffered and then he went into a coma.

So: Why do you worry about the pass of the time if you can't appreciate the small and beautiful details of everyday?

WHERE IS THE LOVE?

"Where is the love" is a song wrote and sung by The black Eyed Peas.

In the video we can see different groups of people exposed to different kinds of  difficulties,discrimination ,violence. 

The video shows what happens in one day, in different places to different people, we are all the same, and we have the same routines, we face the same problems, but we still hurt each other pretending and believing " I am better than them" 

The reason I choose this song and this video is the phrase :

" But if you only have love for your own race

Then you only leave space to discriminate

And to discriminate only generates hate"

I feel that this song represents the life that millions of people are living , they don´t care about the rest. A lot of people don´t even "care" for their families, we are most of the time looking for hate and problems, we are looking for the "bad guys" we tend to see the bad in everywhere.

 We even search for love in the wrong places, we mix love & happiness with power, money, etc. We live in a world ruled by the capitalism, the more we have, the happier we are, but is that true? Is the love there? or its just an illusion?

I hope you enjoy the video and think about the world that we are creating,...the sky is the limit they said..we still have a long way to go
