Environmental problem.

Hello my dear readers. Today I must to talk about my environmental practices. I learn about it in many website and also with girldfriend’s family. They are really aware. They use the water of the shower for the toilet, for example to recycle the water.
In that way I’ve been understanding the important to consider a diffent form to contribute in the recycle. For example, I use all the plastic pot to much time, and not only one time. Also I use economic light bulb in my house.
I use my biciclycle all the time that i can, in summer, winter, spring and also in the fall. I don’t want to use car because it contaminate to much, and also contribute to have a sedentary life, two bad changeable.
I’m not participate in a eco-organizations, because i consider that some of this have problem with some social class, maybe the this topic interesting more to the rich class, and sometimes that is the problem of this organizations, obviously that i consider that this problem is more general, but i don’t want to save the patagonian because is “beauty” when in many part of Chile is building thermoelectric in a poor zone and that is also a form to have energy. I means that the problem is general, and we have to face up with all community.
All the time I try to have present the environmental problem, but also is important to consider that is not neccesary that is a problem of the people, I mean, for example in my city on the north zone of Chile, Iquique, the people have real problem with mining, because they contaminate the water and some aera affecting some small town, and I ask me, ¿is a problem of the people or of this mining?, ussually is to the mining and the out of control develop.
So I think that is important to practice some habits to careful the enviromental, but also is important to question what are the real enemy of the environmental and organizate to destroy it.

Selk'nam

Hello today i’m going to talk about a special topic for me: Selk’nam.
Selk’nam is an extinguished to the second half 20th century. Many Etnologist and anthropologist can contribute to preserve some cultural element. The last selk’nam woman whit life was Lola Kiepja y Ángela Loij. They died on the second half 20th century.
The last anthropologist that worked with them was Anne Chapman. Her work was really nice because she rescued the cultural and some principal ritual: Hain. This was a ritual of initiation of men. A step to the childhood to adult life.
Anne Chapman was a friend of both women.
Selk’nam lived in the most austral part of the territory of Chile and Argentina on big island. They had a special economy and complete tools for survive. They are not primitive or a simple society, they had a complex system of symbols that for us isn’t too much important but they develop it. If we compare our life whit to complicate technology obviously that they are different, but maybe his mind was thinking in another world not only material… I think.
Another reason that I think that Selk’nam are special is for that they showed us a very different to live.
I think that selk’nam was a really good culture, (maybe like Tupi, or no Tisi?, what’s your opinion?
And that is my post of today… Goodbye my friends.

Important french anthropologist died

The article talk about Lévi-Strauss and his died. Mention that He was an important anthropologist of the 20th century.

Also said that is a structuralist thinker that dedicated 50 years for studied human species.

The news was communicated for the Paris's School for the Advanced Studies of Social Sciences.

The most important idea of Lévi-Strauss was that he broke with the ethnocentric vision of the history of humanity, like the Foreign minister said. So the important of this anthropologist is also contemporary.

Another opinion was from Hélène Carrère d’Encausse, a secretary of the organization of Académie Française, said that Lévi-Strauss contributed in to open the spirit of humanity, and also he was a philosopher, thinker and “We will not find another like him,".

Lévi-strauss was born in a jewish family with money. His method of structuralism is really complicate because want to found a general roule and relations that are in the thought of human, for that reason he worked with between western countries and American Indian and Amazonian tribes.

He was known in the 50^th years with her famous book The Savage Mind and the four-part Mythologique.

He had problem with Sartre and his idea of existentialist’s notion of personal freedom.

When he was old he considered that 'serene pessimism' on the life, and he used that for like a attitud to life. "Birthdays at this age have no longer have any raison d'être because there is no reason to celebrate a further step into physical and intellectual degeneration," he said.
