Blog 5: Personal Opinion about legalizing marijuana and other drugs

Drugs are a quite complex issue. I think that is important not to generalize and be informed about it. Not all drugs are the same. Each afect ur body in a different way.   If there is something to be clear about, it is that the legality of drugs is not something that affects their use. Personally, I'm aware that there are drugs that are absolutely harmful to the body, that I would not be willing to try. However, they will still be there. Whether legal or not. There will be people who will consume them the same. We know that this is an issue that goes far beyond the legal plane. Illegality has only expanded and fostered the development of a drug trafficking market that we may never be able to fully measure. In the case of marijuana, its medicinal properties have been scientifically proven. In fact, recently the Commission on Narcotic Drugs, the United Nations executive body on drug policy, removed cannabis from the list of dangerous drugs. Officially recognizing its medica...

Blog 4: My future job

To think in a future job it’s a difficult work for me. I have not decided for a specialty yet. I like a lot of different journalism areas, but one that can cross all is investigation journalism. I always had an interesting to know and discover new things. My curiosity doesn’t let me leave any loose end.   I really enjoy the pleasure of finding what was hidden. Being able to bring those stuffs to light, I think is a privilege that you must know how to take advantage of. So, in any place wich I could have that privilege I would feel realized as a professional. If this include the possibility to travel and meet different cultures of course that would be a dream. But coming back to the reality, the truth is that great jobs and big salaries are not close to investigation works, and it’s important to be aware of that. For the same reason, I do not expect to be a millionaire being a journalist, I settle with a salary that I can afford to live well, maybe without great luxuries but h...

Blog 1: A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT

I remember that when I was a little girl -and the only thing that I knew then of the world don't escape of my province bubble-  I watched, from TV program, a place that I thought was'nt real. I couldn't understand how their houses and buildings could float on the sea. All  the city was built over the water.  Then my mom told me that this  dreamy place for me, really exist, just that something far of Chile. I was impressed and, also, really sad.  ¿How could it be that so far there is such a fun and beautiful place? This country blew my child head. For a while, I think that I was a little obsessed with that hahaha. Anyway, I made a promise to myself: I had to visit Netherlands someday. Then, weren't  so much the things that I knew about it, besides the typical postals of the canals, the  bikes and tulips fields. Now there is a lot of things more that caught my  interest for this country.  First, First, their life quality levels are higher ...
