Post 8: Personal Opinion

What is your opinion about the immigration situation in Chile?

I think that the borders between countries generate the erroneous belief that a territory belongs to a certain population in particular, however this should not be the case. "The immigrant situation" is mostly seen as a problem if these immigrants are from countries like Bolivia, Peru, Haiti, Venezuela ... that is, anyone who is not European or "gringo". Attributing to this last group good characteristics as "they come to invest they money in Chile". Unlike the common belief about the other group that they come to "steal our work" "worsen the race" I wonder,  what race they want to improve?

Chileans are mestizos thanks to the massive violation of native women by the Spanish, Germans, I mean, the beloved first world colonizers who come to “invest they money” (money that they stole) in Chile. JÁ.

What is your opinion about animal testing?

In my opinion, animal testing is a wrong practice. Many humans believe themselves superior to all other living beings. This belief goes over the rights of animals, mistreating them, humiliating them, killing them, for the benefit of ourselves. I’m in favor of antispecism. We must not murder, or mistreat anyone. We must not use animal testing, nor kill animals to eat them. The animals are here WITH us, not FOR us.

What is your opinion about the Chilean tradition called ‘mechoneo’?

I think it's a "tradition" that humiliates new students. Shouldn't exist. It should not continue to be used. It's not a welcome to the university, it only generates fear among the students and that is not correct. It's aggression, it's violence. I appreciate that every time, in less careers and universities there is still exist “mechoneo”. When I entered to the university in 2016, Psychology was still “mechoneando”,  it was terrible. Now they don´t do it!

What is your opinion about legalizing abortion in some cases?

Abortion should be legal in all cases, not only in the three causes: risk of the mother, fetal infeasibility or rape. But it is an advance. The only person who must decide on his own body is womans. Not the church with its moral values. Not politics, with a chamber of deputies formed mostly by men. Only women. Legal abortion must be guaranteed, safe and free for all. No more women should die because not everyone has the resources to access a clinic for appendicitis.
