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”.

Surrealism

I mentioned before that I like to draw. What I did not mention is that my favorite branch of art, in terms of drawing and painting, is Surrealism. Surrealism is an artistic movement that was born after the First World War, this has a strong sense psychoanalyst, with the idea of showing what hosting the unconscious. Its founder was André Beltron and its main exponent was Salvador Dali. I see the art and surrealism as an escape from reality, something where all my ideas are possible, where abstraction has no place and there are no limits of creation. I love it.

A day of camping.

This pic was taken in the summer by me. Was taken in a hill close to Liquiñe near the of city of Villarrica. I was with my scout group and we were in a ramble to reach the top of the hill. It was a 10 km walk and we were really tired. At the end of our journey we arrived to a place where we took a rest, it was like a camping site, and it had hot springs, we enjoyed it very much. That day was tiring trip in the morning, and very relaxed in the afternoon. At night we had to go back to Liquiñe but this time was a lot easier because it was downhill.
