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...

My point of view about religions

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.

To begin with, we have to take into account that in Chile there is a public health system and a private one. The public health system is of poor quality, there are long queues to get a medical appointment and these are at least for 1 more month. The worst is emergency care, where one has to wait too many hours to be treated. This has been something very unfortunate, since if you go to the emergency room it's because you're in a serious situation that demands immediate attention (your life is at stake). Otherwise, the private health system is of much better quality. It's unnecessary to queue for a medical appointment, the emergency services are efficient (you don't have to wait long hours), in addition to the fact that the treatment received is much more pleasant. However, private healthcare is too expensive, becoming a privilege for people who can afford it. In an emergency, someone who doesn't have money (and must attend public health care) is more likely to die t...
