Why voting matters

Voting is a fundamental element of any democracy. Through the vote, the representatives of a territory, a nation, a SOCIETY are elected, who have the obligation and duty to represent the needs and demands, not only of their voters, but of the people as a whole.



Not voting can bring big problems down the road. For example, in Chile, Sebastián Piñera won the elections in 2017. However, there was an abstinence of almost 50%, and, in the last period, his approval as president lowered, due to the complaints of the people about the mishandling of the social outbreak in 2019, and, later, of the pandemic of the covid-19 in the year 2021. This is why the right to vote should be promoted and taught about it to the youngest, so that, in the future, the elections of candidates are consistent with the needs of the people, and, with what they offer to do in their governments. It is important to vote, even though there is no candidate, since the null vote also serves as a valid percentage for those who do not agree with the government programs offered in a given electoral period.

    I share your opinion. It is necessary that people go to vote so that the elected candidates are representative, or in case they don't have a preference, they can also express it through the blank or null vote, which are options as valid as the others.

    I think the same. If the vast majority of the population will participate in the voting, that would allow the entire electoral process to be made much more legitimate, even a null vote is more valid than not participating in the process.

    It's incredible that abstinence is up to almost half of voters, voting is a right and we must be so aware of it.

My carreer

Imagen
When i was I child i always dreamt of being an astronaut,  travel trough the universe and discover other planets. Years later I discover my love of music and I started to learning how to produce music in my computer watching video tutorials on youtube. After completing high school, I was undecided about what carreer I would study, beacuse I wanted to study Sound Engineering but I have to leave my city to study that. I ended up 1 1/2 years studying a carrer that I don't really like, and then I decided to study Sound Engineering and overcome my fear of leaving my home. My experience in this unversity is very strange, beacuse I don't have face-to-face classes. Instead I have virtual classes, beacuse the coronavirus don't allow to leave our houses. After college, I would like to work in a music studio and produce music whit other artist.

My point of view about religions

Imagen
Christianity ,  Judaism , Hinduism, Islam.  These are one of the more than 4.200  religions  that  exist  and have  existed  in the  world .  Undoubtedly there have  been   many   religions , of which  many  have been forgotten until  extinction .  But which of all the  religions  will  be  the  true  one?  What if the  true   religion  was one that's already extinct?  These  questions  will leave more than one sleepless.  However, my  point  of  view  on this is quite skeptical. It does not make much sense to me to firmly believe in a higher being when there is no certain evidence of its existence. This does not mean  that   I   dislike   religions , in  fact   I   find   that   religions   (that I  know )   manage  to  deliver  great value...

Education in Chile

Imagen
Good morning everyone, I  hope  you are  very   well . Today  I will  talk  about a  very   important  issue at the national level:   Education  in Chile. From an economic point of  view , Chile is pretty bad.  To begin with, we  have  that Chilean university education is one of the most expensive in the  world , earning  (sadly)  fourth place.  However, there  is  the  opportunity  to  apply  for different scholarships and  even   get  to  study  practically free.  The  problem  with this  is  that the  middle  class generally does  not  qualify for these  benefits  since their  income  was  very   high , but they were  not   high  enough to be able to  afford  the expensive tariffs. On the other hand   we  have the  qua...
