Democracy

Hello readers ! Today I come to write about the Concept of democracy.

The name democracy comes from the Greek word demokratia, means “government of the people” (demos, “people” and kratos, “power”).

Democracy is a government form, therefore like any government form, exist submission of all the citizens to a political authority and a coercive power. The thing differentiate democracy of the government form is that, in democracy, the authority and the power are in the people and they practice the power (demos). In a democracy, the people govern themselves and, through the law were imposing themselves.

Again the old tyrannies, absolute monarchies or other authoritarian government forms, in democracy, the people are sovereign.

However, to practice the power with efficacy, operability and diligence, the people choose, regularity, representatives in the different spaces composed them system. Also, the people choose a voting system that guarantied the liberty and the confidentiality of the vote for your leaders.

This is the most important feature in a democratic system. At present, a big majority of the countries in the world use democracy like his government form.

My favourite picture.

Well, today I write about (one of) my favourite picture. This picture is a portrait of Kurt Cobain. He was an American musician who plays in a band called Nirvana. In 1994, Kurt Cobain was found dead at home in Seattle. When Cobain died, he was 27 years old. He was depressive and cocaine addict, but one of the most important singers in the last quarter of XX century.

This picture was taken by a famous photographer, called Mark Seliger. The story told that two months after this photo was taken, Kurt Cobain die. At first, this picture was taken for the Rolling Stone magazine, where they promoted the Nirvana’s story, in the moment they released the album “In utero”. The photo was taken by a Polaroid (an instant camera). After Cobain died, the photo made the cover of the magazine too, but now on an article about the memory of the singer, composer and guitar player… the legacy of the artist Cobain.

Chile in the Olympics.

Hi friends !! Today I come to write about the Olympics Games. The Olympics Games is a party of sports, when the athletes are bring together to fight for the medals of the victory. The first Olympics Games (modern Olympics, because in antiquety had Olympics too) took place in Athens, Greece in 1896. This place was chose because the old Olympics Games (in the antiquety) was in this city, a city with a long history.
In my life, I have seen four Olympics Games, but in this post I write about two of these specifically:
-First, the Olympics Games of Sydney in 2000. The event I remember most is about Chile. In this Olympics Games Chile got the bronze medal in football. The special feature was Chile winning the bronze medal match against France, the current world champion in this sport.
- After, I saw the Olympics Games of Athens (second time the Olimpycs was in Athens) in 2004. In this Olympics, Chile won three gold medals but, this time, in Tennis. Fernando Gonzalez and Nicolás Massu won the doubles final against Germany, and Massu won the single final. Also, Gonzalez won the bronze medal match in a very long day, the same day he played the doubles final.

Hi !
In March of this year, I began a new semester in the university. This semester I’d study six subjects: administrative theory, theory of sciences, administrative law, applied statistics, microeconomics and English III. This semester I couldn’t take an extracurricular subject, because the schedule doesn’t allow me. But, if I could take an extracurricular subject, I’d take a general formation class, called “Football, more than passion”.
My expectations for this new academic period are:

·         Not fail any of my classes.

·          Get more than a five in my finals marks.

Well, this new semester just began. I give the best of myself to obtain the results I want to this period. ;)

Well, my name is Erik Arteaga and I am nineteen years old. I born in Punta Arenas, and realized my studies (Elementary and High School) in Liceo San José. Now, I study Public Administration in the Universidad de Chile.
