This is my favorite. Myself I took an afternoon walking through the center of Santiago. I usually leave my house with my camera to take pictures of streets and buildings, especially when I'm on vacation. This photo shows one of my favorite streets, whose name escapes me for now, is near Baquedano, in Providencia. I took in April or so, when I left university early on a Tuesday. I got off the bus to take some pictures and looked up and I found that image. It was the only one who took that road and I repent. Taking pictures in the streets is dangerous, but I care enough to hide my camera enough to not suffer theft. My camera has 8 pixels and high quality captures. Is calibrated to capture plenty of light and usually use it in warm mode for color. I like this picture because it has beautiful colors, the sky background and nice apartments that are there. I plan to return soon to the streets to capture more photos, though I qe should go to see new places, not to bore those who already know. The sectors that are visited to take pictures Providencia, Santiago, Ñuñoa Centre and the two reasons I choose, stay close to my university and because they are very nice streets and Parks. It is one of the pictures has left me more consistent, although I have I took several pictures of my vacation, which I also like a lot. I usually shoot a lot more streets and buildings, although it is very dangerous to leave the house, but I also like photographing forests, rivers, lakes and mountains. The next time you walk down this street, try to replicate a similar picture, but from another perspective.

Freud and the Creation of Cultures.


Freud divided his theory in two big topics; the first topic refers to psychic systems; unconscious, preconscious and conscious. These phases in his work is very easy recognizing the different systems; unconscious refers to system of repress, there are all of representations incompatible with the conscious, for example traumas or awful experience of the infancy; preconscious is the system where is all of the representations with easy access, this system is very similar with the concept of memory, there the contains are save and can be remember, for example the characteristics of our parents, the name of our friends, the color of sea; finally, the conscious is the system of the representation of actions, is similar to attention, this system let the conduct and the motility. Later, Freud explains the phenomenon with the second topic, which is more specific and hard than the first topic. The second topic include the resorts, this are tree; ego, superego and id. Ego refers to “I” or “self”, the space where the person think, decide and fight against to external and internal demands. Superego corresponds to resort that suppress the ego, is the moral space which contains internal norms and rules learnt of culture. Finally, Id refers to instance where the desire, the aspiration of pleasure is. Freud tries to explain the society formation across these topics, which the animal passions are suppressed for several internal/external norms for the creation of human relationships.
