My future job


Hi classmates and teacher! How are you?  Today I´m going to talk about of my future, especially about my future job.

Well, really I don´t decided what kind of job I would like to have. Even recently I have doubt about this.
I´m interested in learn the Qualitative technique. Because, I like to work with persons, to know what think, what opinion about certain matter. Hence, I would like to work on ground, having the possibility to learn from society directly. The aspects I would considerer when I choose a job are mainly my workspace, because I would hate working in a office, enclosed within four walls all days, almost five days a week. NOT completely!  
I want to work on something that is a contribution to society, maybe help people in specific subjects. I had thought about working in a public agency or a investigation agency, maybe I would like to job in UNESCO.

Respect the place in which the work is located I don´t mind working in Santiago or in a city, but obviously I prefer to job in a quieter place.

In the moment that I have to give a interview for find job and I would have to talk about my strength and weaknesses I would say:

My strength are maybe that I´m responsible, sociable and a bit of a perfectionist (well, waybe this could be a weaknesses too).

Moreover, my weaknesses is that sometimes I wake up in a lousy mood, I feel that with a small thing or simple details that go wrong could come to ruin my day. (I´m working on it.) 

Thanks for read my blogs. Good bye everyone! I hope you have a good weekend.

Dreams



 Hi teacher and classmates! How are you?

Well, today I´m going to talk about “the dreams”. This topic is very interesting to me. Mainly, because I´m intrigued by their meanings. Dreams are manifestations of mental images, sounds, thoughts and feelings in an individual sleeper, and usually related to reality.
Dreams can last for a few seconds, or as long as twenty minutes. People are more likely to remember the dream if they are awakened during the REM phase. (last stage of sleep).
According to some scientists, the person has 3 to 5 dreams per night. The most wonderful of dreams, is that they range from normal and ordinary to overly surreal and bizarre. Dreams can have varying natures, such as frightening, exciting, magical, melancholic, adventurous, or sexual.
Opinions about the meaning of dreams have varied and shifted through time and culture.

The psychotherapist Sigmund Freud developed a theory that the content of dreams is driven by unconscious wish fulfillment. He theorized that the content of dreams reflects the dreamer's unconscious mind and specifically that dream content is shaped by unconscious wish fulfillment.

Freud's difference:
Dreams with manifest content: is superficial and meaningless.
Dreams with latent content: relates to deep unconscious wishes or fantasies

Freud developed a psychological technique to interpret dreams and devised a series of guidelines to understand the symbols and motifs that appear in our dreams.

As data, a study conducted by the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology concluded that most people believe that "their dreams reveal meaningful hidden truths". (1)

Good bye! I hope you have a good weekend.
