TVN Memorial [4° Año Medio A]

 TVN set up a memorial due people who died in Juan Fernandez. 21 crew members crashed near the beach and the cliffs of the island, in a horrible event which took place a year ago. Nevertheless, just 5 out of 21 members were praiseworthy of this memorial due their performances through years in TVN.

 What do you think about it? they deserve this recognition? what is the moral of this accident by your perception?

No Chemistry no Physics [3° Año Medio A]

 Few days ago some bad news appeared at the University of Playa Ancha (UPLA). Supposedly, this institution with no profit motive in mind, removed Chemistry and Physic Pedagogy degree courses due the lack of applications as time went by. Students refers to the idea of profitability instead of resources issues. Hence, they decided brace themselves for a strike (which took place today).

 What do you think about? Do you think the University really removed the courses due low applications? is it fair to close opportunities and dreams just because is not profitable?
