Recycling, reducing and reusing

Today is very important think in the care of the planet because the situation is terrible: ours world will die if we don’t make anything about that.

Is true the people learn about environmentally friendly practices in the school. The green education for the children is very important but is not the unique way for learn about green practices. The government must apply new ecological politics: more recycle centers, more estate support, trash can more cheap (the trash cans are very expensive!) and more information! In the media the people speak a lot about show business and paparazzi but speak a little about recycling, reducing and reusing. We need more information in the media and understand this topic like a very important problem.

In my house, we recycle the white paper, the cans and the glass bottles. I think in this moment in a buy reams of recycled paper.

I dream with live close of the university (in the future, of my job) for use a bike in my transport. But, today I live a giant distance of the university and I can’t use the bike.

In this moment I not join none eco-organizations because I don’t trust in these. But maybe in the future change my opinion.

I would like have a little vegetable patch in my patio and eat an organic vegetables and fruits and not transgenic.

About my carbon footprint, I think that I don’t have anything about that. I would like work more for this.

In our society, I think that we progress in this topic. I think that in the future the recycling will be an habit.

Motivation

When I started studying psychology I was motivated for the idea of help the people. I wanted help other persons with education. I wanted work in the ministery of education and make public politics of education. In that time, I had a dream…

Definitely, my expectation have not met but this is not necessarily bad… I have the necessary luck and I have know other topics very interesting.

In the career of psychology I knew the reality of psychology of education and I don’t liked… this is terrible for my dreams but I suppose this open other windows of possibilities in my academic life, I suppose…

About theoretical psychology, I love that! I love the theory and epistemology, I love study the philosophy and the paradigms, this is fascinating! If it depend of me, I only study this topics.

My favorite epistemology is the transpersonal psychology epistemology, I love the idea of freedom behind this type of psychology.

For the other side, in the practice, I don’t know what is exactly that I will have in the future. I think about psychedelic therapy with drugs or with Holotropic Breathwork (the therapy of Stalislav Grof). This therapy is very interesting and effective!

 Also, I think in the education with Waldorf system. This educational system based in Anthroposophy, the Anthroposophy is a philosophy, is a particular vision of the world and the human.

Antidepressant use on the rise in rich countries

This news speak about the use of antidepressants in the world,  especially in the rich countries: United States, Iceland, Australia, Canada, countries of Europe (scandinavia included), China, etc.

This text concentrates in the alarming increased of use of antidepressants: in most of these countries, the statistics say that one in ten people use antidepressants.

In China, the antidepressant market has grown by about 20% in the last three years.

Some people say that the economic crises are related to the increased use of antidepressants. In fact, in Spain and Portugal, in the last five years, antidepressant prescriptions have jumped by more than 20%.

This situation is very preoccupant: too much people consume antidepressants!  Is this necessary? Absolutely not. Today, many doctors prescribe antidepressants to people who do not need. Mild depression can be healed with psychotherapy, but these million prescriptions are not accidentally: behind the antidepressants exist a giant market. This market moves billions of dollars each year. So, how to stop these overdose?

Many people think that  the antidepressants are not the solution to all problems. Antidepressants are widely oversubscribed to get rid of unhappiness," said Professor Tim Cantopher, consultant psychiatrist with the Priory Group in the UK. "They were not designed for that. Unhappiness is part of the human condition”

Really? What do you think about this?

Holiday!

Hello everybody!

First, I think that this activity is very cruel, why? Because be far away from holidays and speak about these hurt.

I think the holidays are very important because is the moment for the rest. The rest is very necessary for the complete year. In the 2011, we have a one month of vacation and was horrible…

My favorite places for vacation are cultural places. I don’t care where, but is important for me the history and the cultural value from the place. I love visit museums and monuments. For this, I like visit cities, cultural capitals and religious centers.

For the other side, I don’t like the beach but I really love the green landscapes and the cold, the tall trees and the pale sun.

I love travel with my boyfriend and my friends. The next holiday I want travel with these persons because I love them and I want stay with they. When I am with my friends, always I will have a beautiful moment.

The next holiday I want to go to Peru. I really long visit Peru because I have too much curiosity. Many persons visit Peru in the holiday and I listen many tales. I want to visit ruins and the typical villages.
