What Is My Experience In Chile

As the mother of seven grown children, I agree with most of Jeffrey Arnett’s, author of Emerging Adulthood, theories. It is a time of change, with a developmental connection between adolescence and adulthood. During this phase of development, children experience periods of self-discovery transformation. There are favorable outcomes as well as adverse effects during this developmental stage. Furthermore, this successive stage encourages and promotes the change from the dependency of their parents to the independence that is distinctive for adults. This autonomy is beneficial because it prepares the emerging adult for their future independently from their parents. Arnett believes there are five characteristics of emerging adulthood that make it distinguishable from other time periods: the age of identity explorations, the age of instability, the self-focused age, the age of feeling in-between, and the age of possibilities.

During the movie No, the general environment in Chile was both repressive and free. This can be seen through multiple examples throughout the movie, however, for the purpose of this report, I will focus on two examples. The first example I will consider is the raid on the rally for No in which Renee’s wife was arrested. The second example I will consider that illustrates the freedom within Chile was the ability for the No campaign to even occur. I will then conclude with how this parallels to the democratization of Chile in being both free and repressive.

In the “Race and Ethnicity” PowerPoint, the history of race stood out to me. Especially when the PowerPoint says, “It wasn’t ‘race’ that gave rise to inequality but inequality that gives rise to ‘race’” (slide 13), race was brought up to be used as an excuse for inequality. This stood out to me since it showed the terrible lengths Europeans went to excuse their behavior. Before Europeans arrived in the Americas, indigenous people only identified themselves based on ethnic groups, villages, genders, but race was a concept that had not existed. Once Europeans arrived, they needed a concept to understand the differences amongst them. Race was then established, to make themselves seem superior to the indigenous and then to the Africans.

Prior to moving to the United States, my life was less challenge and much easier. I was not an independent person. I did not know to do a lot of things in the past. For instance, I could not cook, I never took bus, I did not know where to get an ID or a driver license, and I was not sure where to fix my scooter if it was broken. I simply made a phone call to either my father or my mother, and they handled everything for me. I could have done all the above things, but I did not want to because it was nice to have my parents take care of me. Additionally, I often spent time with my family and friends. We planned cook-out dinners, baby showers

Throughout the ensuing paper we will dive into a country of rich heritage, beautiful landscape, and an extraordinary people with a very promising future. Chile is the longest country in the world geographically speaking with a majority of the population residing in the central region, specifically Santiago, the capital, and Viña del Mar. The official language is Spanish, although in some regions a couple of other languages are still prevalent.

Chile stretches along 2,672 miles with an average width of 112 miles. More than one out of every three Chileans live in Santiago metropolitan region which is the capital of Chile. Two Chilean poets have won the Nobel Prize in literature. Chile’s population sits around 17,363,894 ranking Chile 63, they have a human development index of 41 of 187 countries. GDP per capita is $19,100 with an adult literacy at 99% for both males and females. The general attitudes are friendly and warm, but they might be shy and reserved when first meeting someone, they are also known for their sharp, witty and somewhat cynical sense of humor. Chileans are extremely patriotic and take pride in their nation’s cultural, educational, and economic achievements. Chile has a large middle class, and their educational system enables many poorer people to excel. When it comes to Chilean appearance they closely follow European styles, North American fashions are also popular especially among the youth. Greetings in Chile are important because they stress that one is welcome and recognized. The most common greeting among friends and relatives is the abrazo, consisting of a handshake and a hug. Chileans eat their main meal in the middle of the day and a lighter meal between 8 and 10pm, they typically have a tea time around 5 or 6pm where beverages, small sandwiches, and cookies or cake are served. In restaurants a server can be summoned with a raised finger; meal checks are not brought to the table until

I am a person that to begin with I have a name, Diego, that I identify in many ways and is part of me.

I’m truly a fortunate teenager. I didn’t doubt at all that I wanted to come to the United States of America. My initial plan was to do as much as I could during junior year and share my findings back home like an ancient explorer. The big question was, should I stay for senior year? Would you do it? Do you have the courage? Step on my shoes for one second. Step in my mother’s and grandma’s shoes too. If I decided to stay, that implied to major things. Firstly, that graduating from an U.S high school would no longer allow me to go back and study in Mexico right away. If all of a sudden, for any reason, I wanted to quit, I would have lost my time and would have lost awesome moments next to my close friends and family. At the same time, not going to college here couldn’t even be considered. I’ve known since I enrolled in elementary school that I would attend University. I’ve always known that I wanted to be a professional. This meant at least two more years here, two years away from my beloved Mexico City. In my mom’s point of view, since I’m her only child, she probably misses more that anyone. Can you completely fill in the void of a missing Child or a Family member you

The country of Chile is located in western South America. The conditions vary with the mountains, deserts, and beaches.

Our first few years in the United States were difficult and full of struggles. We lived on an unlicensed construction worker (dad) and a housekeepers (mom) salary until I turned 16 and was legally allowed to work.

Among these islands are the Chonos Archipelago, Wellington Island, and the western portion of Tierra del Fuego. Some other islands that belong to Chile include the Juan Fernández Islands, Easter Island, and Sala y Gómez. All of these islands lie in the South Pacific. Chile also happens to claim a section of Antarctica. The capital and largest city of Chile is Santiago.

Leaving home at the age of 18, loving on my own, figuring how to become an adult, and moving out to college, there were many things being thrown at me in which I was not fully prepared for them. Moving out at 18 is normal for any high school graduate in The United States. Being a Mexican American women it was more than just the net step to life , but a huge accomplishment. Being ascribed into a poor family increased the desire to move forward. My parents did not want me to follow their footsteps into the world of low waged labor, they wanted more. Growing up all I heard from teachers and family members was to go to college. For many it’s the normal thing for a high school graduate to do. For me it was more than socialization it was the path

About four weeks ago, I entered a giveaway done by a travel company. The giveaway was three round trip plane tickets to Chile. I’m extremely nervous to know if I won or not, seeing as I’ve been waiting for about four weeks to find out the final results. We were notified that every applicant would receive an envelope in the mail today, March 13th, 2017, to tell us if we won or not. It’s only 10 in the morning, and the mailman doesn’t come until about one in the afternoon, so I’ll be waiting for a few more hours.

It is not easy living on your own especially when you don’t know where to go about your life. Being an adult living in a complicated world will be a challenging aspect for you. But to begin your journey, you need to have a starting point. You want to prove to your family that you are a responsible adult, and you want to prove to yourself you can accomplish great things so that you can live a legacy to be remembered. But how are you going to do it when you don’t have a home of your own to be your starting point?

Among travelers around the globe, Chile is known to be a country that has numerous natural beauties. From the deserts of Atacama to the magnificent peaks of Torre del Paine, a nature lover can find literally anything in Chile. Unfortunately, because of these beauties, the capital city eventually becomes a place to stop by instead of becoming an actual destination. Santiago de Chile may become overlooked, but it does not mean it has nothing to offer.
