Sir Ken Robinson is a creativity expert. In 2006 he gave a TED conference when he told that schools kill creativity.
The exhibition announces the undeniable creativity of the human being, specially on children, because when we're kids, we're capable of using all our imagination and do all sort of things like drawing, dancing or painting. Lamentably, is the education system the one that makes us lose our creativity. How is this possible?
From the beginning of 19th century, the public education system has had a hierarchy on the subjects they teach, where mathematics and languages are in first place, and on the other hand music, drama, dance and all the art subjects are in the last place. Because of this, in these days the purpose of public education is to produce good workers, not people with creativity capacity. This situation is lamentable, because there are so many children with talents (writers, painters, dancers, etc.) that aren't taken advantage of their capacities, so they are forced to learn things in school that don’t make them happy. This problem on education system also exists in our country. We, the students, learn to memorize, not to think and as a consequence of this, we don’t develop our creative skills. In my opinion this is true, because the school where I studied taught me so many things that weren't so important... that I completely forgot, hahaha!
How can we solve the education system problem? Sir Robinson says that "we have to rethink the fundamental principle on wich we're educating our children". We must to believe that "imagination is a gift, and we have to be careful now that we use this gift wisely".
The school has the duty to foment creativity, delivering an education that combines and gives equal importance to mathematics, languages, sciences and arts. This is how children, will become great persons in the near future.
This is what I'm gonna (or what I want to) do in the next five years:
* Professionally?
- I'll finish my carrer, and I'll be a happy journalist. - I want to work as journalist in a funny media like a cultural one. I'll be totally happy if I could cover music concerts, because it means free fun! - I'm gonna write a urban chronicles book, and start to write romantic novels to be famous, LOL. - Also I would like to do a master in comunication or study something else, like psychology!! Maybe in our country or not? - I would like to do a documental... but I don't know about what yet :/
* Personally?
- I'm going to live with my boyfriend,my Gon, because we love each other and we want to be happy together. I guess we're gonna live in Santiago, but also I would like to travel with him to Spain, England, Australia o New Zeland, and live there for a while... why not? - We're gonna have a little puppy!, because we love dogs :)! - Also I'm gonna start to plan my wedding with my Gon (yes, it's true), because in five years I'll be 24 or 25 years old, and he'll be 30 years old. So, I think that's a good age (25 or 26) to get married :). That's doesn't mean that I want to be a mom in five years... no no no, not yet!
Maye you're thinking that I'm a dreamer, but I don't care. I want to come true all my dreams... and I think that I'll do it.
I love Sole Onetto. She's a chilean journalist, who works on Canal 13 News.
María Soledad Onetto González was born on July 27, 1976, and she studied journalism on Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (buuuuuu!). She has worked in a lot of media, like "El Pulso", the news program of Channel 2, called Rock & Pop (R.I.P.) where she started her carrer as a journalist. Then she worked in others programs and channels, for example: "Cara y Sello" of MEGA, and "Teletrece AM" (feat Ramón Ulloa, another journalist that I love because he is so cute ^^) from Canal 13. But it wasn't until "Estamos Conectados" a news program related to technology, when I started to become a fan of her and her job.
In "Estamos Conectados", Soledad showed technology like something simple, explaining the technology advances with simplicity and charisma. But the important thing of this program, was that she broke the stereotype of "technology-men", and I love that!
She also worked on: - "Acoso Textual" of Canal 13, a talk show with only women. - "Efecto Invernadero" a radio program of Duna FM. - "Telenoche" of Canal 13, a news program at night. - "6PM" of Canal 13, a news program at afternoon. - "Viva la mañana" of Canal 13 too, a miscelaneus program at morning. - "Cásate Conmigo", where people expose to the audience the "before and after" of their marriage... it's so funny! - And her last big work, was hosted with Felipe Camiroaga, the 50º Aniversary of Viña del Mar Festival, the most important festival in South America.
Ummm.... I don't know if she is the best journalist of our country (or world xD), but I like her work, and also how she is: pretty, simple, professional, charismatic and closer with the audience. I hope to be a journalist with those features, and being a successful woman.. like she is.
