The meditation in my life

The meditation in my life

Regarding the video, I feel that it’s a very good way to explain what meditation is precisely and quickly, since most people do not know the meaning of it exactly and it’s usually known for being boring. Is a tendency in Chile to not have the confidence to do it at home in front of other people, which means that its practice isn’t very common. The above happened to me, since before I was very skeptical of this type of activity and felt it was a waste of time. But as time went by, I knew it was of great help, especially to calm my panic attacks and anxiety. This was recommended to me by a psychologist approximately 3 years ago, which I am very grateful for introducing me to this new world, because I have been able to successfully face complex situations, in a calm and relaxed way.

In order to progress, she performed these exercises every morning for 15 minutes and also when I am under stress. During these days I have been quite scared, due to the uncertainty and insecurity caused by both the pandemic and the situation of the online classes at the University, since it has been quite complex in every way (adaptation, overload, little flexibility, etc.). On the other hand, when I specifically start the English classes, I feel safe because of the fact that we all have accessibility to carry out the tasks that are delivered, but at the same time, I feel the need to learn English more directly. I mean, face to face, because personally, it cost me a lot to learn english and that's the reason why I need a person who is constantly helping me, I mean, remembering new words or tips to be able to grow correctly in this area.

Gender stereotypes in Chile.

  Gender stereotypes in Chile 

Even when Chile has experimented changes and advances in matters of gender and stereotypes, there are still some that are currently present, both in men and women, because of the culture imposed by the older generation. This begins from an early age, since boys are taught that they have to play with different toys than girls (balls, pistols, video games, among others), they dress them in darker colors (blue, brown, green), They make them feel that they have to always be strong and protect girls, since they are "weaker". On the part of the girls, they are taught that they have to be "feminine", they must be "young ladies" when sitting, eating, dressing, and even walking. In addition, through games (dolls or toy kitchens) they are taught that they must be housewives and have to take care of their babies. When they grow up, things can be more complicated, because they develop more and worse attitudes, for example, the perception of that the man have to be physical strength and he can’t appear be vulnerable to the rest of people, the work cannot be "light" as a secretary or be kindergarten, since it is more "feminine", the type of car you use or motorcycle (if it is a light and small color) and even in appointments when the man must pay. On the other hand, women cannot perform strength work such as mechanics, construction, among others or who is bad at math and driving because she is a woman. In addition to that the remunerations are quite unequal and are not considered for a high-ranking position, just because of the "condition" of the pregnancy or being "vulnerable" in every way (hysterical, forceful, sensitive, little leadership, etc.)
Although this type of thinking has been rebuilt in the country, we still have a long way to go ...

2. About   Six   million years ago most early human species became bipedal.

5. Which species survived for the longest time? For how long?

Homo erectus is the species that survived the longest on the planet, because it managed to adapt and overcome threats, through its body development and intelligence.  It lived from 150,000 years ago to 1.9 million years ago.
