The video is really good!!! It makes me think about many issues. Why do not we respect the people’s human rights? We think a lot in what other people do but, what about us? In Colombia is not difficult to find a simple example where we do not respect these rights. When we take the bus (Transmilenio for example) to get somewhere, people simple do not respect the line, almost everybody jumps to the door and does not care about the right of each other to take the bus first (for being early). It seems a very stupid example but I think that we don´t have to speak about people killed or people starving in order to find examples for the violation of human rights, we can turn our head and find hundreds of examples where it happens. The matter is, Do I respect people’s human rights? Before we think, does the government, rich people (among others) respect the human rights?

My regrets

I am going to share with you two regrets that I have. The first one: I wish I had played soccer in a football academy. I like too much playing and seeing football matches. Sometimes I think that I would be able to be an excellent football player but I was thinking more in my obstacles than in my opportunities. Now I occasionally play football with my friends and just watch my favorite teams in TV. My second regret: I wish I hadn´t been so shy in my school because I lost the chance to know many interesting people. I remember that I had few friends and few memories with friends. It doesn´t mean that I regret every single moment of my life for it (I think that maybe some people regret of the opposite) it means that I would have liked having more friends now.

TV forum

What is TV? We can make an exercise if we are not conscious about the power of TV. How would be the world without TV? We wouldn´t know about many people that we "know". Maybe, our view of the rest of the world would be too different. TV is not just a "little box", it is like a window in our living rooms, a window which join the world. If it is truth, TV has the power of communicating any message to any person in the world. Through this channel not just images are transmitted. Ideas are transmitted, ways of thinking are transmitted. Can you imagine the power of this little box to "connect" the world?

How to prevent stress?

Health problem: Stress.

Stress appears when some situation makes people to face with tasks that exceed the normal demands. These tasks demand more work, more results. I think that is important to talk about it because many other diseases hinge on stress, it means that despite a person doesn´t have serious risk to suffer some illness the stress can bring about it. How to prevent the problem if it is so serious? The answer to this question needs fairly study, however I am going to submit some possible solutions:

- Make a plan of the things that you have to do in each day. If you know exactly what you have to do, the time won´t be wasted and tasks will be developed on time and without pressure.
- C.S. Lewis said that planning the future is a task that must be realized today, so take into account in planning each days ‘s tasks that you should include others tasks that are not going to be submitted today or tomorrow but you have to submit at some future time.
- Make things simple. It does not mean to realize things bad. It means that you have to be intelligent in each task that you do. There are easy and hard ways to make things, so try to find the easiest way that causes the best results.
- You have to learn how to rest. Some times we rest too much and it is not good because it means more work in the future. So you have to find the balance between work and rest.

Andrés Carrillo

Hi, My name is Andres Carrillo and I study economics at the National University. I like reading books and papers about social sciences and math. In fact it is one of the most interesting things in economics, you try to understand the reality mixing these things. It is not easy, but it is really challenger. Also, in my free time I like to playing football soccer video games and spending time with my family.
