Differences and similarities between Chile and New Zeland

Between Chile and New Zealand we can find both cultural and social differences and also similarities. First we can start with a difference, the aborigin culture in Chile is the Mapuche culture and in New Zealand they are the Maori, in NZ they respect a lot that culture and the Maori also have influence in politics, also the society accepts them, but in Chile the Mapuche are not respected and there a lot of problems with them. Another difference between Chile and New Zealand is that in NZ Dinner is really important, because it is the moment that all the family is together, they can talk and share things about their day. At breakfast time and lunch they don't eat a lot, that is not the same as Chile because the most important time to eat for us is lunch and at dinner we don't eat too much. Also we were colonized by the spanish empire and they were conquered by the british empire so we have alot of different foods, habits and sports. Two examples of that is that they eat fish and chips that is a typical food from England, also they play cricket and rugby. The most important difference for me is that New Zeland is a really secure place and also it is realy clean because no one writes things in the walls(grafitti). A similarity is the weather because it is really windy and it is simiar to the weather at the south of Chile.

What is it to be a New Zealander? Being a New Zealander has some similarities and differences from being a Chilean. Being a New Zealander implies being a kind, generous and unprejudiced person. New Zealand’s society has more than one culture in it, maori, asians, etc. And they all live together and they don’t care about your skin color, appearance, etc. They are a multicultural society. One aspect of New Zealand is their way of eating, at breakfast they don’t eat a lot, at lunch they eat a sandwich and when they eat dinner, they eat a lot, it is an important moment for them because they can share a moment with their families and talk about their day. New Zealand is also a safe place, the people that live in here don’t steal, for example in the subway, people leave their phones charging and then they go somewhere else and when they come back they will still be there (everyone knows in Chile that won’t happen), stealing isn’t part of their society as it is in Chile. In New Zealand they also take care of their cities and green areas, if you walk in Wellington, it is really weird to see trash or anything written on the walls, it is a really clean place.

Dear Augusto,


Fairtrade is a way for poverty reduction and workable deveplopment, they want to create apportunities for excluded people. Fairtrade helps them to join a bigger market.

This is a really good way for poverty improvement because they help that the farmers and manufacturers are paid a fair price for the prodects they make, they do this, because right now in the world there is an unfair  trade and that produced poverty.

another good thing about "fairtrade" is that they have a label in all their products that represent, that is an excelent product and when you buy something with the label you are helping people economically disadvantaged and with that, you are helping to end poverty.
Also fairtrade products are high quality or organic an consumers paids an extra little money, so money for what they have done.
So i think fairtrade is a really good strategy for poverty alleviationno matter what economists say.

He is different because  he is black, he might fit in my social environment because in Chile we aren't racists, and here being black, whitee or asian is not a problem


In the school don't happened to many discriminatory incidents but, a discriminatory indicent I remember that ocurred in the school was that a group of people start bothering a youngest boy of a lower grade because they said he was ugly, and they bother him constantly, until a teacher saw what the group of boys was doing and the teacher gave them a detention and they must said sorry to the younger boy.

What do you think about racism?

"Can you honestly say that I'm better than you or you are better than me, just because we have different hair color, just because our skin may be lighter or darker than each others? The value of a human being isn't based on how tall they are, how dark they are, if they're eyes are light, or if they're eyes are dark, the value of a human being can be based on their actions, how they go about through life, doing the right thing and contributing to make this world a better place. Is it possible to say that just because my skin may be lighter or darker, I will not do the right thing, or I will do the right thing? Not acceptable, we cannot base physical traits onto traits that are of integrity of the human being, there is no correlation. Yeah, I'm blonde, I have blue eyes, I'm white, I have friends who are may be dark skinned, with dark eyes, but we're the same! And we walk together, and we talk together, and we go eat together, but I see no difference among us. Maybe other people do, and maybe that has to do because this people do not have the integrity to see the one priority is what they are on the inside. Racism is a form of discrimination. Saying that somebody who has a different skin color is better, or worse than another, is the same as saying "You know what? he's better than me because he has a bigger car", or "he's better than me because he's a man, and I'm a woman", this are physical traits, this are not what make the value of a human being. So as a message to all, NO to racism, NO to sexism, and NO to discrimination" -Juanita Larrain


A movie that talks about racism is INVICTUS, racism in this film is show like something should stop, is stupid and unaceptable.

Analize Kite runner graphic novel

PANEL 1
Bacground to frontground
In this panel I can apreciate in the back a red carpet with golden borders it seems expensive. Also a big golden lamp and very beutiful forniture with that things I asume that is a wealthy family. I can see two adults taking tea , one is the father of the boy and the other one that is looking the boy is Rahim. That guy looks like kind of surprise of seen amir there, Ican apreciate that the pashtun boy called Amir kind of hiden behand the staircase. The light of the room i can see that in the place that are the two adults are taking tea there is too much light because i think they are infront of a window and in the place that is the boy is less light to make a impression that the boy is hidden.

Int a more subjective point of view I think that the two adults was talking about something that they dont exppect that the boy hear thats why rahim have a surprise face and the body expression of amir i see that is like destroy and depres

panel 2
front to back
There is Baba smoking his pipe looking at amir kind of surprise, and amir is looking at him kind of angry, sad and depress, also in the back we can see the beutiful forniture to confirm that the was a wealthy family

I can interpretat that baba doesnt now that amir was there because of what he said he look surprise but not worried

panel 3

front to back
is the same room but now amir start criying and running uot of the room, in the back rahim looks worried about Amir and he want that him tay ther and baba looks surprise but not as worried as rahim

I think amir start criying because rahim nd baba was talking bad about him and he is a weak and a coward chid

panel 4

Back to front
I can see that now Amir is out of the house, is a big house of a wealthy family, is a white house, and amir looks sad and looking two persons a adult and a child they look like hzara and like the sevant of the family because they are sweeping put of Amir house.  They look very friendship and theyare dressing up with very poor clothes

panel 5
Front to back

in this panel i can see that they are two srevants of the family they lokk like hazara they are dress up with poor clothes in their hands they have brooms but althoug they are pooor yhe looks happy


PANEL 6
Back to front
you can see the gate of the house . Amir trying to escpe out of the house and rahim is trying to catch amir both are running
I think Amir think he have the fault of that his father talk bad of him but rahim is trying to convive amir that his father was not want to said that

PANEL 7
Rahim catch amir and he talk to him about he don have the fault of the death of his mother

My interprtation of the full page is that two adults baba and rahim are talking bad about amir , and he listen and he run away cryiing because he is weak and coward rahim looks perocupated but baba no
