My Indignation





I tend to be a very positive person, I prefer to see the glass half full in the face of each situation, but if there is a situation that upsets me, it is that the basic rights of people are transgressed, especially if those people are children or old people.
One of these cases are the low pensions that retired people receive, which shrink even more with the excessive cost of the medicines they need to use daily.
I remember a TV report where you could see the elderly people collecting the fruit and vegetable waste left by fair sellers, that image had a great impact on me, seeing people in their 60s bending over to pick up leaves of lettuce in poor condition  to prepare some kind of food. It was an image that was impregnated in my mind.
I find  it hard to believe that such situations occured in a developing country that boasts of being a member of the OCDE and a leading Latin American country.
If there are people who must eat from the garbage because the money from their retirement does not even let them suppress the most basic need of all, we do not even remotely near  being a developed country neither economically nor socially nor morally.

  1. I am very sorry, it is really a waste of the pension system, especially thinking that older adults have to reinvent themselves to seek new resources and at such an advanced age, I really feel indignation this situation. I would like to see myself enjoying life: /

  5. Economic inequality is really sad because in Chile there is a vicious circle of poverty due to market education :(

Evaluation of blog experience

The experience of blogging in an english class has been a personal challenge. I had never have a blog, neither in Spanish nor in English so I had to learn from the beginning how it works. Firstly it was difficult to write again in english because it was a full last year without learning or practicing anything about english. Lately the rules of grammar and how to pronounce the words it was the most difficult for me. So, when I started to write blogs I was afraid about don't writing them correctly but it was easier when I knew I can write about topics that interest me. It has made it easier for me to write the correct words. That is why my writing skills have developed in part, although I feel they could be developed further during the next English course. In my future I would like to write in English about different topics of my interest like music, series and something I love as cultural events.
