Getting fit

We have a special area that focused to sports team. It counts with a variety of 20 sports, in which there is a maximum of 30 people per class. The list is open from the 3rd to 10th september. For each there is going to be a selection for dividing in categories. So get ready for it!!

Keep in health

In case of emergency there are a couple of centres distributed around campus which have medical assistance. They are separated depending on the level of risk the pacient has. They are available 24/7 for emergencies.

Taking care of teeth

There are local dentists in the city. As a result of a high demand we incorporated a special buiding dedicated only to dentists. It isn't part of the medical buiding, is placed 1kilometre away. For more information you can check the official website of the college and clicking on the right side that says health.

Keep on our bodies

If you have an emergency or a necessity of medicines, don't worry! You can find a pharmacy that will provide high quality of medicines in case of accidents. The pharmacy is right in front of the main entrance.

The main problem of our relationships

In classs we discuss the effects of social media on the population and how that affects our relations this people in general terms. Here I leave an essay discussing that topic.

Social media is one of the reasons of overweight, vision problems and tiredness. Leaving a side health problems, does it take part in our relationships problems?

With the new technologies all over the world it is impossible to not get used or to want to live as in the 80s. Little children nowadays want as a gift a cellphone as a result of chatting and a feeling of being cool, however they are not taking in consideration the negative impact this could bring. Cruel people, want innocents to make a mistake so they can develop their abilities. On the other side there are elder people that feel strange with this new world. For them it is confusing the idea that you can send messages to people in other parts of the world only in seconds. It is considered that when those people no longer exist everyone is going to be with the effects of social media and technology.

The new world will consist in people prefer staying at home and create connections from there rather than going out and enjoy fresh air. We can compare and say that nowadays this is happening although some are trying to avoid it by turning off their phones for special moments. In young people’s meetings we can notice that a high number prefer to stay focused on their phones instead of talking to people that are right in front of them.

To conclude we can say that some people are already affected by the social media fever. Nevertheless, there are people wanting to preserve traditions of leaving a side their phones and enjoy the moment.

Alerta Amarilla por la actividad del volcan Copahue 

Fecha del suceso: 24 de marzo

El servicio nacional de geología y minería de Chile avisó que en el conocido volcán Copahue, se registró una erupción. Tras este suceso, especialistas fueron asignados a vigilar el volcán todo el tiempo a toda hora del día, ya que, una alerta amarilla significa que hay acción dentro, si este erupciona, puede causar gran peligro en la población por lo que hay que mantener al tanto de las consecuencias que el desastre natural puede causar. Para esto se necesita gran iniciativa de procesos de evacuación por parte del gobierno. el volcán debe ser controlado como mínimo en un radio de 2km. Resaltan que luego de 2012 y las cenizas que cubrieron el cielo, deben estar en alerta cada año en caso de que vuelva a suceder.

Se relaciona con los distintos movimientos en las placas tectónicas debido a que la formación de volcanes se debe al choque entre placas ademas de que la actividad muchas veces sea debido al choque. Esta actividad no solo se puede percibir por altas tecnologías pero las personas comienzan a detectar los distintos factores.
