Evaluation of blog experience
I must say this blog became a place where I can share a bit of my life with you. In fact, there was a time when I was passionate much to write about how I felt. It is comforting to write for others, yet, read what my colleagues have to say about them. This has served me well to exercise my english. I would continue writing here, because as I mentioned is quite reassuring, and this is a way in which it is easy to unfold and express to the rest. I must say that there were times when I had no idea that writing about the requirements and themes called for the teacher, but anyway, I always thought of something to cover the established theme. I just needed a little imagination, and at times, introspective inspection, which helped me in my search. I would also say that this has helped me realize that I have many things to say about me, so this has helped me to know myself a little more, which it is equally rewarding for me, and I imagine the rest of my companions happened to them something like this. I must say that I feel important for writing a blog in english.

Paranormal theme.
If
there is something that I really enjoy seeing or research, it is about unexplained and
paranormal events. I must say I am quite skeptical
about these issues, there are
many things that make me think about
this and let me sleepless
overnight.
Resulting unexplained by the established sciences is necessary to
estimate a phenomenon as "paranormal"
condition, but not sufficient condition;
such effects must also submit their own specific
features that distinguish and diverge from both
normal and abnormal natural phenomena, whose dynamism is consistent with the known relationships of
variables or used by the official science.
It would be more accurate, in terms of these specific features, the
following definition of Charles Richet: "It is characteristic of metapsychic fact, whatever,
which appears to be due to a (human or nonhuman) unknown intelligence. (…) seems to be due to unknown
intelligent forces, it being understood in
the same intellectual the surprising phenomena of our unconsciousness. (...)
the
forces that determine the forebodings, the
telepatías, movements of objects without
contact, apparitions and certain mechanical and luminous phenomena, seem
to be blind and
unconscious as chlorine, mercury and
sun. (...)would have said that are endowed with intellect, will, intentions, that
may not be human, but that in any case resemble human wills and intentions.”
This is too interesting and It makes me paranoid.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
The other day I was watching movies my dad gave me, and I ventured to see a movie I did not
know it was called "Extremely Loud
and Incredibly Close". Anyway, I ended up liking
it a lot, has a
very touching story and dense. The movie is about a
boy with Asperger’s
Syndrome called Oskar Schell who loses his father after the incident of the twin towers in 2001. His father always talked
about “the hidden district”
of New York and always he gave riddles of how to find it. The child in his eagerness to keep alive the memory of his father, begins an exhaustive search throughout New York, with alleged evidence his father left before he died for Oskar could find
such district. In the passing of the film a conflicting duality between curiosity and longing of the
child is present, and on the
other hand, the mother with her grief over the loss of her husband, and the
protection of her child. It is a movie that shows the reality
of children with Asperger's Syndrome, and a chance to live like them mourning. I highly recommend this movie, that is why I don't want to spoiler (I hate to do it, NOT TO SPOILERS)

Albert Bandura.
Bandura is a canadian psychologist and educator born in 1925. Bandura has emerged as theoretician and experimenter social learning theory. He became interested in particular causes aggression in
children and provided data
to contradict advocates the idea that the attacks are an emotional and
impulsive pathological manifestation, and a method to achieve what the attacker wants
when other options have failed.
His
work has been the forefront of research
based on observation and imitation learning
models. For Bandura, what determines people role models are the reinforcers and
punishments (both those received by the model and the imitator). Investigations have been conducted
after about social models that generate home TV or groups of friends were stimulated by their experiments. Bandura
was named driver
of socio-cognitive approach to
personality, according to which the
environment has a crucial influence
on personal factors like
self-control and self-concept.
In this process of interaction between behavior, thoughts and feelings
of the individual, Bandura called it "determinism”.
