Blog 5 - My Future Job

 I think it is really difficult to think about the future, I mean, who would have thought a couple of years ago that a pandemic would occur that has been going on for more than a year. I would like to perform in what I am studying, but I have not yet decided in which area of ​​psychology to work, maybe clinical, forensic, social? Sometimes I think I would like a job to make it up as a team, I don't really know, but I suppose I still have time to decide. After being confined for so long, what I would least like would be to lock myself up in an office all my life, maybe the field work calls my attention at the moment, but I suppose it could change in 3 more years.

I really like the idea of ​​traveling itself, so I suppose doing it while doing my job could be quite entertaining. Regarding salary, I am not interested in earning much, only what is fair and necessary to be able to live in "good conditions" although I suppose that aspiring to that in Chile is quite a request, I think. Regarding studying a major, I think it would help me a lot in any of the areas that I dedicate myself, whether it be the clinical as treating a certain society group especially, in the forensic area, maybe dedicate myself to complex cases with psychopaths? Maybe a lot of television is eating my brain haha. In general, knowledge is always welcome here, but what I know is that whatever I choose I will give my best effort.

About my favourite movie

 

Today it's time to talk about my favorite movie, Back to the Future 2.

This second installment is part of a trilogy under the same name, "back to the future." This narrates the events that happened after the first part and all the necessary journey to fix the timelines and return its protagonists to their corresponding times.

The film is directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Speilberg. It was released in 1989, grossing around $ 331 million. In order not to spoil the film to people who have not seen it (despite being a classic of the cinema), this film continues with the story of Marty Mcfly and Doctor Emmett Brown, traveling through time in the mythical DeLorean. The story is governed in 3 different times: 2015, a 1985 very different from the one they came from, and the year 1955.

After solving all the conflicts present in these different times, and shortly after completing his mission, a small accident lets us glimpse the continuation of this story in a third and final part. All this, added to great special effects for that time, a memorable soundtrack and elements that remained in the film culture throughout time, allowed this film and saga to become a classic of the cinema of the 80s.

Blog 3 - Why I chose Psychology and The Importance of Mental Health

 Since I was little I used to wonder why people acted a certain way on certain occasions and how this could change from one day to the next. Although during my childhood psychology was not in fashion and all disease came from the body. Being sad could only change "trying harder" not to be. Mental illnesses were not fully known to society and anyone who deviates from this era called "crazy."

As I grew up and based on my close circle that surrounded me, whether it be family, friends or colleagues, this topic was becoming more and more relevant and present in daily life. There were a couple of specific situations that ended, by creating a will in me that seeks to help people. For various reasons and in various contexts, I always saw people in distress, trouble, or moods that persisted for weeks. This made me internalize within psychology since I was 15 years old, looking for information, and learning what psychologists did. Little by little I became passionate about the way they could help, therefore it was something that I aspired to achieve, although at that time it was not a fully visible and understandable issue by society. Today, mental health, psychologists and psychology are more present than ever worldwide. Society has been in charge of making visible the importance of these elements and how this forms an important pillar within the identity of a person. Little by little, the importance that psychology deserves is being obtained, so that in the future, mental health can become a fundamental right within the world and society.
