The Goodbye

Meanwhile... hahaha

Hi guys, it`s me again! This time I came here to say goodbye, at least for a few months, iido`t know... Who really knows? Maybe I`ll be writing posts frequently, because I discovered I like it a lot.

This post is about the evaluation my blog experience. So, let`s start!

First of all, I have to confess you that I remember I felt very scared, overwhelmed, and maybe even a little frustrated when the teacher told us (to me and my classmates) in the firts english lab class that we`ll have to create a personal blog and write posts about differentes themes he`ll give us as the course progressed, one post per week. Oh God! I just found it so intimidating, because since I was at school I didn't study English and mainly because everything that has to do with managing programs and computing get`s so difficult to me, so my first feelings/impressions about this dynamic: anxiety and difficult, I can say. How was I supposed to get out of this without major problems? I was wondering.

But now I see one more time how ridiculous I could be when I get carried away by my whine and catastrophic personality. Writting blog posts was so easy! How to manage the blog, give it a unique interface among other configurations were mere procedures that I was learning as I used the blog, becoming easier and easier, and although I think I have a lot to learn yet; I feel that the technological or computational part of manage a blog, wich scared me so much at the begining, has becoming into another small matter, I have it more than dominated.

In regards of my abilities to comnicate ideas in written English, I`m aware of how much they have developed, I`m so grateful to have this experience, I never had to write something in English (to be more precise, not at the level of blog dynamics), wich I find it so necesary and stimulating. I think this kind of things must be present sice the beginning when you start learning a language. I`d have liked a feedback (if is possible more personalized) for each post, on how to combine verb tenses well, knowing how to differentiate well between connectors (the use of in, at, on, for example), the use of some modal verbs, among others I can not remember now (honestly, I don`t know if that kind of skills are minimal for the subject, but I wold have liked it anyway).

CAN YOU SEE? I always get excited writing blogs and I lose the word count, which I exceeded again. So, without more to express, I say goodbye...

Neurosis

Neurosis were firstly formally defined (or at least in the scientific sense) by Freud as an "Inflammation of the nerves" wich makes us have some behaviors and/or thoughts uncommon, rare or not acepted by the society standar. They have in common their origins, most of them come from the consequences that an abuse of defense mechanisms (wich occur at an unconscious level) leaves on an individual (if we keep going on the psichoanalytic line); but almost all areas of psychology and those wich are very embedded in clinical psychology agree that Neurosis come when a subject loses the sense of reality, in a moderate degree.

I`ll explain this better. The truest reality is what we can agree on, we always make consensus about the world that surrounds us, in which we are involved and complicated. We agree that you`ll be reading this post in the future time when i have already written and published it, we agree that you`ll be in front to a screen of a laptop or computer, for example. But we can not ignore the fact that everyone have their own image and interpretation of the world, determinated by our internal structures and experiences, that`s is called as the sense of reality (you must understand that all this explanations are grossly simplified). Let me give you an example: you wake up too late in the morning and you have an exam, you harried up, didn`t take breakfast, and suddenly the public transport is slower than ever, you go with the worst idiots that could ever share the transport with you and it seems that everyone had their morning off or free, to make matters worse the exam was difficult and your friends do not understand why you`re so irritable. In this case we can say that you have lost the sense of reality, but not in the psychopathological way, it`s something normal when we dye the reality with our emotionality. Now take this deformation and take it to the extreme, there is Neurosis, in fact, mostly of the differents mental diseases start when a subject is incapable to distinguish the internal world of the external world, and the limits becomes fuzzy or diluted, when the reality becomes tinted too much with the emotionality or something related to the internal world, we are in front of a psichopathology, like Neurosis. But Neurosis is something lightweight and totally workable with some therapy, an individual can not only lose the sense of reality, it could come worse and the subject could lose the judment of reality, like in the case of psichosys.

This image shows us the personality structures. Some areas of psychology (such as psychoanalysis) whose object of study is always from the disease, from a subject in constant conflict with reality and with himself, assume that personalities have bases in neurosis, and from there they incline or take one or more features of those shown in the table. For expample, my personality style matches with an obsessive compulsive person and collects many hypomanic characteristics.

There are various kind of neurosis, most of them were described by Freud, like hysteria or obsessive compulsive neurosis (in nowadays called as disorder) and each one of them becomes from the abuse  of a defense mechanisms; as Freud said, they help us to front  situations that can be very harmful or difficult to face for the mind, but are also a double-edged sword, because they can lead to a neurosis if the unconscious does not control them.

Arts

Hi, I came here today to tell you about my favourite subject, which was named Arts.

Arts was a subject I had to take when I was on Bachillerato of the university. This subject was divided into three modules or topics: Visual Arts, Theatre and Music. Oh god I love arts since I have memory, in sum my friends and I take Arts and History during the summer semester, so there were no other stressful or demanding subjects that could take relevance or study time to Arts, so I feel very lucky about that because I could appreciate and devote all the time I wanted to study arts. Between the three topics of which arts was composed, my favourites were Visual Arts and Theatre, especially Theatre. 

I don`t know why but the teacher is always, at least for me, the main reason for my performance and personal development when I take a class, and fortunately, Art`s teachers were of the good ones (except the Music teacher), in particular, the Theatre teacher. She was a very energetic woman, so creative, expressive and resourceful; I remember that she clearly showed the matters with lots of examples, explain difficult contents so easily and she used all her body to communicate what the ideas she wanted to tell us. I just found her classes amazing and I wish every class I have were more like her classes.

But not everything was rosy, I really wanted that Arts was a theoretical and practical subject, I imagined my self doing paints related with some style, acting a play in teams or something like that.

The things I learnt were many (mainly related to the History of the art), and it would be so gratifying for me to have another experience in which I could learn about the Arts.

 Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz

Gottfried Leibniz is one of the most brilliant minds that the human story could ever knew. This peculiar men was born in Leipzig, on July the first of 1646, and closed his eyes to the eternity in Hannover, on Novembeer the fourteenth of 1716. He was a philosopher, mathematician, logician, theologian, jurist, librarian and German politician, in fact, he is recognized as "The Last Universal Genius", wich it means, the last person who could be sufficiently trained in all fields of knowledge, afterwards there were only specialists.

He made very deep and important contributions in various areas, some of them are metaphysics, epistemology, logic, philosophy of religion, as well as in mathematics, physics, geology, jurisprudence and history, between others...

As you can see, his work is very complete and that`s why i like him a lot, i honestly conceive him as an example, an holistic man who got lots of things to give for this world. OH GOD I LOVE IT!, and i`m always trying to perform myself into a more integral and interdisciplinary subject, because i like different kinds of knowledge. The reason why i chose him fot this post, is because this great thinker of the seventeenth and eighteenth century is credited with Newton with the invention/discovery of the infinitesimal calculus, and even though he developed it ten years later than the physics father, many of his notations and nomenclatures are what we use today.

And as if that were not enough, Leibniz also made contributions to technology and anticipated notions that appeared much later in biology, medicine, geology, probability theory (his youngest works talk about the combinatorial art) psychology, engineering and computer science.
