Lenguaje courses are being "dumbed down"

http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2009/oct/20/language-degrees-student-numbers


This report comment about lenguaje couses in the university education. The lenguaje courses and the student numbers are decrease in the present. The proportion of students with lenguajes studies have dropped in european countries, for example in England or EU.

The government is accused, because it give more importance to science, technology and engineering subjects than lenguajes learning; and the universities are accused of betraing the discipline , because this are changing lenguaje courses with translations or interpretations abouth "cultural studies", or with other subjest abouth studies abouth others topics.

The Spanish, Italian and Mandarin courses are loosing them popularity in students, more student also opten for lenguaje couses out to the univertity, in subsidiary courses.

I’m registered to vote from this year, because I believe that it’s very important for increase the national paticipation in the election system. I don’t know my vote now, I need one candidate with new ideas for the social and education problems presents in my country actually. But I will choose Jorge Arrate candidate in my vote for the next presidential election.

The electoral campaings are very few serious. The presidential candidate aren’t intelligent in my opinión, they don’t have clear ideas and I don’t like it. The most important qualities for one president is the credibility and the good intentions for Chile. I don`t like the politician, but If I can been in the government, I had been something for the people with more dangerous problems.

If I had the chance in the government, I’m working in the educational or culture ministry, because I’m studying education and I want to help in one good education for the future.

The 5 principal problems in my country are the inequality, the poor, the public transport, the pollution and the education.

Criminals Laws

I don't think capital punishment is a good solution to reduce criminality, because this is one awful measure. The death isn't solution, Criminality is a big problem in this society, but we shouldn't kill to criminal persons. Realy we shouldn't kill nobody.

The pros in capital punishment are to get rit of more dangerous criminal in the society, but this don't give justice for we. The cons in capitak punishment is very clear; If we kill to dangerous criminal, Then we are criminal like them.

The goverment should take measures more efectives to reduce the criminal society, for example, the goverment can make new educational programs and policy for peolple with economic and social problems. The society is sick and this problem came from the family, from the comunity, from the school, from the job and from the goverment. We should make solutions for all this problems in the society.

The origin of the increasing criminality rates in Santiago is the inequality social in this city. The life is very difficult for people in Santiago, and the poor people have more psycologic, economic and social problems in this city.
