Dear Johnny,
How have you been? A lot of time has passed since the last time I went to Viña to visit my family and friends. The life here in Santiago is very fast and the time is short for doing doing things other than work. The fellas over here too never let you rest, calling you all day for doing works or helping them with their complications. For example, last week I met this guy named Carlos that seemed pretty awkward to me, I' have never seen him with someone, neither friends nor family, but there he was talking to me.
He walks towards me very slowly and spoke in a very low tone of voice, asking if i would be so nice as to help him with some works he had to do for anatomy. Then I remembered that the teacher said that those who helped other friends with works or studying for tests with good results, will have a bonus in the final overall mark of the year.

Mass media
We are facing one of the worst problems that the humanity has ever afronted, and it affects almost every person in the world. In most cases, they don't even realize that they are involved in that. I'm talking about the biggest brain-washing system ever created. I'm talking about mass media.
We are constantly receiving information by many means, including web sites, television and radio. This information many times shows us stereotypes, manipulate our feelings and determine what is really importante, but for us ¿It really is? The media reflects and shows the point of view of a minority that controls the information and how it is presented. Most of the time this people only show a part of the information on news to project a determined political ideal that may help them or to hide unethical issues related to them and their evil companies. Apart from this, the exposure of the information need moneyavdertismente etc etc etc

Letter to the editor
Dear Sir,
Nowadays the information navigates faster than ever, the people have the facility to travel and the segregation was erradicated years ago. This is the era of globalization, the political frontiers for us are just lines in a map of a system that must be administrated, there are no longer big differences in a person or another, at the end we are all humans, that is what our children must learn.
We cannot enclose our children to a culture and traditions that maybe for us meant something, but in today's world mean nothing. We have learns from wars and conflicts that a united world is the best manner to develop a better humanity in the future. The nations should teach traditions and culture related stories just as a way of comparing the world that was left in the past with today's world and as history.
Moreover children that focus just on the preservation on their culture are not open-minded to new ideas and plans. They just stay on the same social circle with the culture as a limitant to their learning of people and the world. They don't understand different points of views and opinions, finally stopping progress.
This is why authorities must encourage children to learn from other cultures and help them to create relationships that might produce new cultural traits. I'm not saying that the tradition must be forgotten, but that it is much better to create new customes based on the sincretismi of cultures.
Yours faithfully,
Pepe
