A person I would like to meet


 Vandana Shiva is PhD in physical sciences, philosopher, writer, and ecofeminist activist. That struggles against neoliberalism and defends the rights of peoples with an unconditional commitment to women and the earth.

She describes the Earth as an entity that is part of the individual, and from this relationship proposes she proposes to face issues such as climate change, social inequality, injustice, wars, and hunger.

Vandana Shiva is 68 years old, she is daughter of a park ranger and a farmer. When she was 21 years old, she participated in a social movement that sought to protect the Himalaya Forest with nonviolent resistance (embracing trees).

What I admire most about this woman is her conviction and her strength to fight for a better world for all. And above all, her ecofeminist vision to address problems that have been happening from a patriarchal system and that now is the time to do something different to have different results.

Shiva has written some books that highlight the problems suffered by small farmers, the problems with water, companies that privatize seeds, and her vision of how to face capitalism through the “democracy of the Earth”. Such as Making Peace with the Earth, Earth Democracy, Soil Not Oil, Staying Alive, Stolen Harvest, Water Wars and Globalization’s New Wars.

It would really be an honor to meet a woman like her.

My favorite technological device is my laptop, because I use it  every day . I can do many things with the laptop, from doing this post, various tasks, communicate with my friends from social networks, inform me about the current. Well, I practically spend most of the day in front of the laptop. Especially in this stage of life that I am a student. Another thing I love about my laptop is that it synchronized with my phone, and so everything is organized more easily. Ah! well and do not forget that is portable, which is wonderful. It gives me the chance to work and bring information to any place. It is amazing the speed with which technology is advancing, the world every day moves faster, and we are obliged to move with it. What do you think about the speed with which technology is advancing?

My Favorite TV Series

Imagen
Today I will tell you about my favorite TV series. Well, this topic is a little complicated for me, because I am not good at watching series. It is difficult for me to see all the chapters. However, there are two series that I have seen complete. Avatar: The Last Airbender y Lost in Space. Both can be found in Netflix. Avatar: The Last Airbender captivated me many years ago. It is set in a world where the spiritual with the human is constantly mixed. The Human civilization is divided into four nations, named after the four classical elements: The Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, and the Air Nomads. And there is an avatar that has been missing for 100 years, which will be in charge of maintaining balance and peace between the Four Nations. This series I like much, I think I have seen as 3 times. this series talks about spiritual themes that I make a lot of sense. And you ever saw avatar?

A Subject you Enjoyed Studying this Semester

In forest engineering usually (not to say always) studies and analyses the environment in which we are involved, and we are part, such as geography, water resources, wildlife, forests, ecosystems and society. And in this semester, I had to study a subject called Geomatics. At first it didn't attract much attention to me, but as I was studying I realized that it is very interesting. Geomatics is the science that deals with the management of geographical information using information and communication technologies. Geomatics is a very useful tool in forestry engineering. Through the Geomatics can be analyzed various environmental phenomena. For example, the consequences of climate change in the vegetation cover, the behavior of the species (flora and fauna) in a particular place, you can analyze different topographic features of the landscape that serves as support in the decision-making. One of the basic things that I learned to do, was to use a software to do different ...
