ESSAY: The use of technology

Technology relates to the invention of tools and techniques with a practical purpose. The start of the technology was when the prehistoric man discovered the fire, later invented the wheel, the writing, the telegraph, electronics, phone, computer, internet, among other. The technology helps us of different ways, because we can use it for study, works, for fun, to communicate and for other things. The advancement of technology has been very important in the area of health, with the incorporation of machines for the diagnosis and treatment.


In the university life the use of technology is very frequent, in all of subjects we have to do presentation, report and seek information, so with the use of internet we have a lot of possibilities and therefore the job is much easier. Another advantage is the use of internet as a means of communication between professors and classmates, this way of communication is quick and easy, and teacher use it to give information.
The technology in medicine is a great tool for everyone working in the area of health. This year we had the experience of learn the use of the technology in the area of Physical Therapy, in a subject that called “Basic therapeutic procedures”. In this subject, I had the opportunity to learn different techniques with tools and machines that it used for the treatment of various injuries. For example, when the patient have a big pain, muscle injury, fractures, broken skin, muscle tension, among other.
As to what my profession is concerned, the used of new technologies has improve the way we treat our patient and as we help them to recover to a nearly full movement status when it is possible or improve some the quality of life with this types of therapies.


In Physical Therapy, always we use many machine for recovery of patients, with the use of technology we can relieve the pain and recover the functionality in the injury. Thanks to technology, the physiotherapies can alleviate different symptoms that affect at patient, so the patient can return to all their daily activities.
Today, the human race has the ability to invent many tools that facilitate the daily life. The use of technology in the area of science is crucial, because the scientific knowledge advances very fast, so if we don’t use it we were back.

My travel experience

Hello everyone! Today I will talk about a travel experience. I think that my best travel experience was when I went camping with my family near Temuco.
First, we came to a place called "Conguillio", it is a beautiful place. The "Conguillio National Park" have many "Araucarias" (there is the largest "Araucaria", known as "Mother Araucaria", the lake's water is green and crystalline for the minerals and also adds the view of the volcano, which make this place all a paradise.
Also, the experience in camping is very fun because when we to go in a tent, we can move quickly from one place to another, and of this way meet many beautiful places.
Then of "Conguillio", we toured different places around, because our plan was to follow the "waterfalls" in the sector. Really, the places that I could find are spectaculars, I love the south of the country, when you go on the journey to south, immediately feel the difference with the city. I like the vegetation, lakes, climate, customs, food, everything is very nice.
The best of the travels is that when one returns, one is completely revitalized, for this reason, the travels are good for clearing the mind and recharge for whatever comes.
I love traveling with my family, we always have fun and until the moment we have many experiences and anecdotes that keep us very close.

The films of my life !

Hello! Today I’m going to talk about the films of my life. This is a very interesting topic for me, because I love the films.
Whenever I have free time, I’m adaptable to see a good movie. I think that I haven’t a specific king of movie that is my favorite, because it is quite variable, my love for a film depends more of the story, special effects, actors or the general assembly. However, I can assure that I’m not very fan of horror’s movies. I don’t like the idea of feeling fear and be suffering when I’m watching a movie, because I’m left with a strange feeling all day. So if anyone wants to see me suffer, I’m sure that with the worst scary movie is going to make.
For me is not so important where or with whom I see a movie. For example many times I’ve seen movies with my family and friends, but mostly I see one, I like to concentrate and not be interrupted.
The films that I’ve marked my life and I’ve left me fascinated, that remember now, are: “Seven pounds”, “The Pursuit of Happiness”, Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind” , “pride and prejudice”, “The big fish”, “The notebook” and Almodovar’ s films.
Many Chilean films I didn’t like, because I find that the language is very bad (speak with many swearword) and that almost all deal with the same. Two Chilean’s movies that I like it were “Machuca” and “La nana”, I liked the plot of the movies and the interpretation of the characters.

The myths of brain!

Then of the interesting presentation about the myths of the brain of Dr. Maldonado and look at material support, I will talk about two myths that caught my attention.
First: “Let’s face it – men and boys just have different brains from women and girls”Many times we wonder why men and women are so different? Why men don’t understand us, and they often don’t understand our way of being? But why we are so different and similar at once?
The male and female brains are functionally and morphologically different. For instance, the male brain is larger and when it comes to language are more strongly activated in females. In the paper is mentioned that the men tend to be more “methodical” and women better communicators, but I think that is in very general terms, at least I always considered myself more methodological and less communicative. Where differences can be shown to exist, they will be small and based on averages.
Second: “Learn while you sleep!”Another myth that caught my attention is “Learn while you sleep! ”, the methods that support this idea proposed that when the information is repeated while the person is sleeping through messages and texts continuously relayed, but even it say that it is more efficient that when done while awake. One suggested that the act of learning always begins with an unconscious process and so it is more efficiently done during sleep. But in summary, no study in learning while sleeping has been able to demonstrate evidence of learning. Consequently, it should conclude that many in the claims abut learning while sleeping are only myths. However recent studies have found that the sleep has different roles in the development of the brain and it is functioning; like that it is beneficial for strengthening skills such as motor learning (memorisation of specific sequences).

STRESS!!

Stress is a condition that implicated specialty the psychology and physical state of a person. Different factors may be responsible for this condition; this can be present in living or working life, as overwork, study, the routines, schedules, excessive travel, family problems, employment problems or a big problem(catastrophe) can be factors symptoms of stress begin to appear. The symptoms are varied, because as I said before the stress involved the physical, psychological and social state, so some of the symptoms may include irritability, hair falls, anxiety, tachycardia, fatigue, increased breathlessness, irregular sleep (insomnia) and irritable colon, among other.

When the stress conditions presented, the body reaction is immediate, but the symptoms can be increased, if the stress lasts for a longer time or other symptoms may appear bringing new complications. The consequences of stress depend of the person; some people have depression after stress and often they feel a big pain in different parts of the body, usually appears in the back and neck. These conditions make them unable to think clearly and are more intolerant.

Actually, is very common that the people have stress, especially people moving in downtown. If this problem continues, the rates of diseases and suicide increase significantly, making it vital to maintain a balance life.

Some solutions to this problem are to reduce the excesses in working hours, avoid being accelerated all the time, take breaks, good food, meet the hours of sleep, among other. The decision will depend of the factor that triggers stress.

A healthy lifestyle :o]

Often when we speak of a healthy lifestyle, immediately comes to mind “Healthy food”, a lot of fruits, vegetables, water, etc. It is true that a good diet is a key element in health, but a real healthy lifestyle needs to consider other variables, such as: aerobic activity, stress management, quality and quantity of sleep, suitable environment, among other. It is important to always consider psychological, physical and social factors.
The aerobic activity is very important, because have a lot of effects for the body, such as: increase resistance, weight lost, increase flexibility, decreases stress level, and in general improve the physical ability.
The stress management is fundamental, because can harm the physical condition and the relationship with the people.
The sleep is very necessary so that the body can regain the energy spent, if the quality and quantity of sleep decreased, the body begins to show different symptoms that hinder the healthy lifestyle.
Another important factor is the environment, the ideal would be in a place with low pollution, which has more vegetation and removed from within the city, as is often the bad environment is causing of different diseases.
To define a good lifestyle is important to consider all aspects. If the diet is bad, the physical training will not be as effective, because the body could have energetic disadvantage, or an excess of fat, which would limit a good activity. Moreover, when the people present a stress condition, usually have problems sleeping; therefore they can’t rest completely, this is causing fatigue and cumulative wear throughout the body.
My advice is to enjoy life, but healthy, this would avoid many problems.

My favourite get-away

Hi everyone! This sunny day, I would like to be in another place, enjoying the hopes of the new season, but I wonder where? Every time that I want to get away from the routine I think in a quiet place, away from the city. Within my means, I think that a good idea is the beach, because I love sitting on the sand watching the sea. Nevertheless, the place that meets all expectations is the country; every summer with my family we go to a place called “Peor es nada” where is the house of my father’s family. “Peor es nada”, is a very small village with little population, where everyone knows everyone. It is located in the sixth region, just before the border with Curicó. I love this place, because it is very quiet, you can sit under a tree, play cards, swim in the pool, play a sport, and forget about the external. There I watch little TV and there is no internet connection, so you can spend a real vacation. Anyway, each summer, I meet there most of my family members, which is huge, I see a lot of my cousins and we have really nice family meetings.
Now I remember this, I want the summer to arrive quickly! But this year everything will be different, because the house was made of adobe so it was affected by the earthquake, and some parts of it fell, like the dining room. But as the name says “Peor es nada”, and I’m sure that somehow we can enjoy the place anyways, just like every year.

Please don’t stop the music

When I am asked what kind of music do I like? I think in many different ones, because I really don’t know which one I prefer. But if I have to choose, between my priorities are folk, salsa and trova music. These kinds of music have in common that they use many percussion’s instruments in the songs, therefore the songs are very nice to listen, and some are very good for dancing. When I want to listen this kind of music, I put different CDs or listen to it on the computer, and sometimes I tune radios where they put songs of these styles of music.
If I want listen folk music, I like “Inti-llimani”, “Los jaivas” and “Quilapayun”. For another side, I like the trova music because I think that some songs have beautiful lyrics, in this kind of music I love Silvio Rodriguez and Alejandro Filio (He isn’t very known yet in Chile), in my opinion his songs are very good to listen when I’m sad and when I’ studying, but the problem is that I lose the concentration very easily. With the salsa music is different, because this kind of music I prefer to dance, so I like the songs which are more moved.
In my opinion, the music’s effect is very interesting because many times just to listen to a song can help with your mood, as a musical therapy. The music fills my life, but above all the rhythms that I can dance.

What I want to be when I grow up?

Is very common that I think in the future as something far away, the dreams that I’d like to meet and things I like to do. If I think about seven years more, I’d like to be working in my profession and if I can, I would like to travel and learn additional therapies related whit physical therapy. But honestly I want to do a lot of things, and I’m not sure that I’ll be in those moments.
About my career, I would like to continue on each side of Neurorehablitation, although there are other areas that also interest me.
Where I’m going to work? I think I will see later, but I think that it is important to develop and improve step by step. It is good to start working as a clerk in a hospital, consultation, rehabilitation center, clinic, etc., because that way you can experience the beauty of the physical therapist and develop a team of job, that includes other areas of health.
My dream job would be in a warm atmosphere, I don’t like the idea of being locked up all day in a place, which is why I find it interesting work in rehabilitation center. I couldn’t think yet on the issue of time since everything depends on the conditions in which I find, for example if I have family, I would like to have couple time share and not spend all day working.
I believe that the physical therapist needs a team of job, for this reason that I consider very important to a good relationship with colleagues, and also with all those involved in the process of rehabilitation or are related to health.

Education and Prevention

Hello! Today I'm going to talk about some forms of educate in relation at the prevention in the health. First, is very important the prevention for a healthy living, because is a good strategy to avoid infections and diseases, because promote to the subject of health care.
A good form to prevent at the individual, family and community level is reducing the sedentary and a poor nutrition; this can be improved by increasing physical activity and a good diet. A good idea is increase the physicals activities in the community for the elderly people and to give and incentive at children and adults that do some activity minimum twice a week. There are different ways to prevent disease, as TV program, a poster, a conference, a magazine, a book, a report, etc.
The job of a physical therapy is to improve the quality of life of the patients, so in the prevention can participate in different areas, is very common that the people have muscle-skeletal problems, because are sedentary or have a bad position, so in the future have a lot of problems. The physical therapist teach a different exercises for improve this problems.
Finally, is very important that the people report about the different forms of prevention, because can be avoided a lot of problems.

is it a men's world really?

The male and female genders have specific roles and stereotypes in postmodern society are very changing in relation at the traditional roles from the past. In the past the woman don’t go out for work, because it had do the homework and care their sons, she had not a free time for study and learn another thinks. In resent years, this is past history, because the woman has more independence and she works like men. The woman has opinion, and this is considered for decision making. In the past the society was very chauvinist, and not considers the role of the woman.
I'm considering that the men don’t lose their place in the society to women, but the women today have very similar responsibilities in the society. The stereotypes of men and women contribute to an understanding and acceptance of who we are, because in the present is very common see at the women development in differences areas of works, and the men much more related with helping in the homework.
In my opinion, I think that is very important to be related to with people of the same sex and the opposite sexes, because have a very different opinion. In my case, I’m considering that a best relation doesn’t depend on sex, only the personality.
Finally, in the area of Physical Therapy, I think that the work is different between women and men, because in general the men have more force that the women, so they can do any thinks that are limited for the force of a woman, that is my case, but this is not a difference in the contribution that each of the sexes, because teach us to handle these kinds of problems.

My future profession!!

Hello! Today, I’m writing about my future profession, physical therapy. In my opinion, it is very important that physical therapists have a service vocation, because the object of this career is to improve the health of the patients. This is possible because they provide services that help to restore the body functions, improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities.

My expectations about this profession are to specialize, but I’m not very sure of the area. I think that a good possibility is the area of neurorehabilitation. It is very important that when I finish my studies, I continue with my professional development, because the advance of the physical therapy is very relevance in the application of news treatments. I decided study this career, because I like the job of the physical therapist; I had the possibility of see this, when I visited at my cousin in rehabilitation clinical.

My hobbie. Dance

Hello! In this post, I’ m talk about of my hobbies and how they have helped me shape my personality. Well, my favorite hobby is the dance, I love dance and I’m practicing approximately for fourteen years (since four or five year old). In this moment, I’m dancing in the group of dance of the Telefonica’s company; I have class on Thursdays in the afternoon and Saturdays in the morning. I think that the dance is very importance for me, I love going to the class, because I can distract and always I’m learning new kind of dances. For example, when I have a problem and I going to dance, I forget the all problem because… “I don’t worry, be happy”. I’m consider that sometimes I’m very shy and quiet, but when I’m dancing I don’t to feel like that. Anyway, the people are very nice, so for me is very enjoyable go dancing.

The big earthquake!

On february 27th, when was the earthquake, I was in "la Serena" in a friend's home. We were talking, when to start the earthquake and to cut off the light, in this moment we doesn't know what happened. Then, we were walking without light and we tried call at ours family, but we couldn't communicate. At 5:30 am, my father call me and he said that all were fine. So in this moment he calm me. In the morning, I could watch the news a little, because again cut of the light, and I could watch as been the people in the south of Chile. I return this afternoon, and I could see the bridge in the road, the posts leaning and the city full of dust.
The next days, I wanted to help, so I was donate blood and I was harvest food.
I think that is a big experience for Chile and the rebuilding is a long process, so the help is very important in all moment.
