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 =)

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.
