I don`t no if I can tell something about the old chilean society. I had no god examples in my life. I can only refer to the behavior that my parents have now and the behavior that they were years ago.
my mom for example, they alwas said tome that in their childhood she has a lot of brothers and cousins that they were very annoing to her; they made her to do things like going to steal the neightboor`s raspberries, or having to throw the tail on the horse and then run away.. just for fun. And she always said yes. She told me that she fractured her nose because of his cousin who hit him on the horse she was riding!
Today she is not te same person and now anyone who dares to bother her ...well now she can be defended.
And my dad, well, he was the typical male who thinks that only they should do the heavy work and womens should only be in the kitchen..well that was years ago. Now he is the subjected of the house and do not bother to contradict to my mom! otherwise not dinner for her!! ..no, that was a joke XD
But what I mean is that today the mentality of society in general has changed, and even it sounds like a cliche, women now have more say than years ago =)

http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/may/03/species-loss-biodiversity-europe
In all over the world, the species extinction rates are between 100 and 1,000 times the natural rate, being the latest biodiversity strategy. In the 27`s countries of the European Union , 25% of animal species are endangered and 88% of fish stocks are seriously threatened.
The European Union try to stop the rapid extinction of wild species, because it will cost less than trying to repair the damage once it is done. The european commission set a target of halting biodiversity loss by 2020. It also set a broader goal to restore biodiversity and ecosystem services provided by nature itself, such as air and water purification, by 2050.
Though the concept is abstract and the commission did not provide details of how they will proceed, the economic costs of continued species loss are real; biodiversity loss leading to a decline in insect pollination, which is essential for the agriculture and livestock.
But environmental organisations have been criticised the objectives of the new 2020 biodiversity plan, saying they are nothing more than a speech that it lacks of measurable targets.

My years as a veterinary student at the University of Chile
I have spent the last 6 years studying veterinary medicine at the University of Chile. Now I`m finally a graduate.
I have to say that i`m much satisfied whit all my years as a student: I had the best education whit the best teachers that I could have been. But I may say that the bad organization and the lack of comunication between the undergraduate departments leaves much to be desired.
After the thirt year I`m already knew wath I wanted, I want to be a specialist in medical care of domestic animals. But teachers from other subjects don`t understand that and neither want to know about your priorities. And that hapens whit all kind of classes! even with the medical teachers hapens. For example y remember that the specialist in feline medicine`s professor wanted that we knew everything, and when I say everything is literally all! disesases, treatments, dosages, tipe of breaths, tipes of alternative medicine, how to manage them... it`s usefull yes, but whit vets that already like it, but the problem is that everyone have to do this subjects, and wath about the people that don`t like it? or the people who never going to work in medicine and is devoted to animal production? I see it as a lack of time for people to found that subject not interested, because their can do other things like relaxing electives instead of filling their heads with knowledge they never use.
Besides that, teachers are very sellfish among them because they think that only is their subject that matters and the others don`t. They all think the same way so at the end the victimis are the student that have to learn all the things not because is the best for him, but it is because the teacher want to proove that their subject is the best. It is like a ego battle.. and if there are no communication between the proffesors and also between them and the students, things will be always the same, the same endless sadness story.

My dream trip
If I had money I would travel to all the exotic cities in the world. The place that I must want to travel is the Asian continent. I think that it must be a very interesting experience, more than any other place. I would like to travel to Tokyo to eat the real sushi, or Thailand to make me a Thai massage, or maybe to Indian to eat all kind of exotic food like grilled snake or snail soup.
And the most important of all, going to China. Imagine how it would be go to a place where the most of people just don`t understand your language, even the sign language! Or arrive to a place when a lot of people very different from you filling the streets with their bikes and their strange live food.
The first thing that I would like to do in China is meet the Great Wall and the Emperor`s Palace. Then after seeing all the cultural places and having tasted some unusual dishes then I would go straitgh to the Chinese trade. It is said that in that place you can haggle prices of things that are very expensive here.
I would be afraid to go whit my pet, neither whit my dog, because chinese people eat the dogs! I don`t know if I would take the courage to eat this particulary dish, especially because I am a veterinarian. I think I could not do that.
Despite their strange eating habits i`m really interesting to meet those people, not enough to live there but to know it someday.

Jean Pierre' Luly
All my life i had a lot of animals in my home. I had dogs, cats, rabitts, fishes, chikens, canaries..and all they have been special in my life. But one of them is the most special for me, my cat name Luly.
She is a very special cat, not because shes is a tender, sweet and beautifull white female cat with green eyes, but just because she is all the opposite of that, and the contrary of a normal pet. She act like a spoiled brat, she is very unsociable whit people and worst of all she hits to my other pets!
She is a desaster like a pet! she does everething that she wants and if i do something wrong like cherish to another cat or played whit my dogs she gets angry at me an she don`t sleep in my beth for a couple of weeks until their angry disappear
I dont no how i can take that, is the most spoiled cat that i ever had. But is for that exactly that i love it, she acting almost like a human. And she does all that selfish thinks because she love me and she want to speen all the time whit me. Sometimes i feel that she could understand me when i`m studying whit no fancy at all, and then she rises up out to the bed and bites my books and my hands to try to earn my attention.
Last day my mother pik up a lost kitty in the neighbourhood, and obviously she goes angry at me!, my mom did it, i did not! but who could you explain that to a spoiled cat.
Aniway, despite this particullary and uncivilized behaviour, she is the queen of my house (and the owner of my bedroom too ¬¬ ), and everybody respect her because she is mine and she always be my spoiled kitty.
