My Future Job

Hi everybody!!! How are you!!??

Today I´m going to talk about my future job, or at least, the job that I think that I will have, but first I will tell you what major I´m taking.

Well today I am doing a major in  Cognitive behavioral psychology, I am not sure if this major will help me to find the job that I want, but it is a field of psychology that I really love and I think that it will be a major that will help me in any job that I will take in the future.

Well, on the other hand, I hope that in the future, I can work on psychological skills but I´m not 100% sure.  To have this job, I have to specialize in legal psychology and I must be an specialist in psychological evaluations. I am planning to do this major in the next year.

I think that it is an interesting job, you can work for the PDI or you can work for the ministry of justice. The work that you have to have in this job, is make  psychological reports of many cases like sexual abuse, violent crime, suicide, homicides, etc.

When  I will have  to choose a job, I will consider aspects like  Salary, Benefits , Location and work atmosphere. I think that all this aspects are very important to keep you interested in the work and is probable that you make a good job if this aspects are present.

I really think that I have strengths for that job, I think tha I am a strong person, with the ability to support horrible cases of abuse and violence and at the same time I can make a good job.

If I have to admit a weaknesses, I will say that I´m a stressed person, I will probably get stressed with the amount of reports that I will have to do, but it is not a big problem, because I usually finish all my work on time.

Why do people discriminate??

Hi Everybody!!

Today it's a new and beautiful day, don't you think?

The topic of today is The “Discriminatión”, particularly I´m going to talk about “Why do people discriminate?” from my point of view.

Well, I think that the discrimination is an adaptative response if we look this concept without a moral point of view. The etiology of discriminatory behavior could have an associative base. For example, many people that usually commit crimes have similar characteristic, so we associate this characteristic whit a crime situation and for that we discrimanate or we go away from the people with this characteristic.
The same mechanism work when we have an aversive experience with a dangerous animal, this animals ussually have some especific characteristic that we will never forget if this animals attack to us. So, if we could remember and discriminate this characteristic in the future, probably we have the opportunity to escape before the animal catch us when we confront to it. This is the reason because I think that the discriminatory behavior is an adaptative behavior.

Of course, if we analyze the “Discrimination” from another point of view, it could be an horrible behavior because when a person discriminate to another person could generate a big suffering. I think that The Society is a complex thing where the adaptative response and evolutionary behavior is not enough to have a peaceful life.  However, we can´t escape from ours evolutional  mechanism.
For that, I thint that the people ussually fight between the morals things to promote a peaceful life and the adaptative response of discrimination to prevent they self from a potential danger.

How green are you?

Hi everybody!!!!
How are you? I hope you are fine like me :D

Today I will talk about  about the environment, the question of today is: How Green are you?
Well, I have to recognize that I`m not very Green, I mean, I have not incorporated the recycling into my habits, But I do another things that I think it could care the environment in some way, for example, I use a bike every day, I don´t like use another transportation, I dont like the bus or cars. When I can´t use my bike I prefer go on foot. I think that this is vey good for the environment because I can reduce the carbón footprint using a bike. Another important thing  is that I dont like use plastic bags, whe I go to the supermarket, I dont like that the people put me the things in 2 or 3 bags. It´s enough just with a bag.   
On the other hand I admit that I would like to do more things to be a Green girl, for example I would like recycle all the trash from my house like my boyfriend do and I would like to reduce the my consume of  plastic.
I never have joined to any eco-organization because I am not interesting in that, but  I´m agree with the things that they do. If you wanna know more about how care the environment, you could visit the page.

I think that Chile is not a country that care it´s environment very well, I think that the people who lives in Chile have to learn more about how we could be a Green person.  I include my self. But what do you think?    

Well, this is all for today
See you later!!!

Advanced Neuroscience

Hello my dear friends!! 

I dont Know if I´ve say yet, but, I am in my third year of psychology at the University of Chile. In this year I´ve had many entertaining clases but today I´m going to talk about my favorite class in the last semester.

Well, my favorite class is “advanced neuroscience” it is a really exciting class.

Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system. The Advanced Neuroscience´s class it´s about neural correlate of behavioral and cognitive processes of the human.

I love this class for two reasons; First because I like see the psychology as a scientific discipline and for that I love all clases with information based on evidence and in the advanced neurosciencie´s class we always review many papers and then we discuss about it. The second reason about why neuroscience it´s my favorite class it´s because  I´ve found many infromation about how our brain works, about how our brain develops and changes over time. Even we could know the mechanism throughout the brain represent our world. 

I think that a Psychologist must know about this mechanism and about it´s function, in my profesional life I will have to diagnose some disorders or pathologies and for that I will have to Know what it´s fail in the brain of my patient. Of course not always a mental illnes have  neural correlate but the physiological abnormalities it´s the first problema that we have to reject.

The job that I would like to have :)

I apologize for horizontal recording, I could not edit it :(

this is very embarrassing :(

The awareness and the artificial Intelligence

Hi everybody!!
Today I´m going to talk about an article that I think it is very interesting to my and my career.
The article is called “Philosophy will be the key that unlocks artificial intelligence”. Now I´m going to make a little summary about the article.

The human brain is an amazin thing and its capabilities are superior than any sistema of life in the earth. “The brain is the only kind of object capable of understanding that the cosmos is even there” But no brain on the earth is yet closet o Knowing what brains do in order to achieve any of that functionality. AGI (artificial general intelligence) is the company responsable to understanding this complexity.
It isn't too easy, there are some things that even in this days it is difficult to explain, for example, AGI have the ability to be aware of it self, this program has the ability to pass the "mirror test" of being able to use a mirror to infer facts about itself.  But the awareness is a complex concept, it is to difficult to explain. “For consciousness we have the problem of ambiguous terminology: the term has a huge range of meanings. At one end of the scale there is the philosophical problem of the nature of subjective sensations  which is intimately connected with the problem of AGI; but at the other end, "consciousness" is simply what we lose when we are put under general anaesthetic. Many animals certainly have that”.

Personally, I think that,  in part, the psychology has the blame for the “awareness” isn´t an operational concept because since many time the concept has been subject of numerous theorical manipulations. Independently of that, I think that we still can  vindicate through interdiciplinary work between neurosciencie, psychologus and engineering technology.
