Criando Juntos: report


  The objective of this report is to present a field work that I participated the last semester. The field work took place at Barrio Yungay between April and August of 2018. We participated in as a Social Psychology I team and we made contact with an organization that is called Criando juntos. The purpose of the field work was applying the contents of the subject like group dynamics, social facilitation and social roles (specifically diffuse social role). Also, the teacher and the assistants always said that “the field work is important to know (superficially) how the labor of a psychologist is and how is work with real people”.

 In a practical sense, our work as a novice group was meant to help to mapadres (which is a coined word that mixes madres and padres). We discussed some group strategies with them. The strategies and tools were focused on recognizing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Also, we reflected on how to getting a balance as an organization of many personalities and roles, inside and outside of it.  

  As far as my perceptions of the field work are concerned, I would like to say that I enjoyed a lot the experience. I am frequently insecure about the direct contact with people, but this time I felt an extreme confidence. The reason I felt like that was the kindness of the people that we worked. In summary we were into an amazing interactional atmosphere.

All things considered, this field work was a marvelous first approach to the job of a real/future psychologist. We do not only have to read books and papers, we also have to KNOW the word.

Introduction

When we talk about the ecology (the science that studies how the organisms interact with one another and with their physical environment) one topic that seems to be very important to understand the actual state of the ecosystem and the species that live there is the pernicious action of the human being. The power of the human influence constitutes a complete chapter in ecology books and manuals. The introduction of species to exogenous spaces is one of the human acts that cause terrible effects on the balance of the environment, such as quantitative and qualitative damages in autochthonous species or collateral consequences in human activities or quotidian life. ¡Is important to remark that the fault is not of the animals! In Chile, one of the most representative (I said “representative” because the specie is part of the national badge, but no for the public efforts to protect him) animal species is the Huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus). The relative abundance of this specie is very li...

Final Essay

  An estimated 26 million of non-human animals are used every year in the United States for scientific and commercial testing; and the research on living non-human animals has been practiced since at least 500 BC. This information produces me discomfort. We really need to use non-human animals to increase the quality and duration of human lives? Why not to choose humans for purposes that are humans?     The industry and the scientific world commonly use animals to develop medical treatments, to determine the toxicity of medications or to check the safety of products destined for human use.   In a few words, as far as the scientists are concerned, the use of non-human animals it comes down to its functionality, sadly like simple things. Today we perfectly use new methods that can replace the need for animals. We have in vitro testing; we have in the world people that would love to participate voluntarily in some researches and we have HUMAN NEEDS.   Like I...
