my motivation to study psychology

Today I'm going to talk about my motivation to study psychology. Before I have to mention that at the beginning I wanted to study law to be a lawyer, but that idea declined when I realized that it wasn't for me. My area is the psychology because I liked to help the people directly, without meddling invasively in the life of the person, mediating and presenting tools that  they can solve their problems by themselves, making easier the road to reach a kind of balance in their lives. Also  I like outdoor work, the action directly with people, and know new lifestyles and cultures of which we  can draw lessons for life.
Regarding my expectations, I must say I was pleasantly surprised with the first lessons in general, although
there are a couple of lessons that I really dislike like behaviorism but there are exceptions. I think that is very important that the education must to be more practical because we need to have a lot of entailment with people to understand them after.
Now I like to mention some characteristic by psychology. We can find a lot of currents like psychoanalysis, cognitivism, humanism or behaviourism, there are different points of vew by psychology.
And talking about the practical areas we can find the educational area, judicial framework, clinical, social, work setting and  neuroscience.
 That's all for today, I hope you liked it and I invite you to find more information about the psychology !!

The typhoon in Philippines



http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/nov/13/typhoon-haiyan-survivors-struggle-shattered-world

The article talks about the super typhoon  that affected to Haiyan, the islands that make up the Philippines, the largest typhoon in all history of  we have knowledge.
The main important point of this article is can show to the world the personal impressive experiences of the people that was on the place the moment at the catastrophe, tallying each experiences that the author can compile. For example: the experience of the family of Paraskovich. They seen all the roofs of the house fall dawn and they have to carry their old grand Mather to save her, he said that everything has blown away!!
Also the author talks about that the government has not  qualified to confront a disaster like that, they never have a plan, the people doesn't  have the necessary  knowledge to save their own lives! The houses wasn't enough resistant because they are made of wood and straw. People in general felt very frightened and insecure  fearing for his life. So now the government has to learned about the experience and make a good plan for this kind of situations.
A lot of people die because this catastrophe, and a lot of people loose everything, houses, hospitals, supermarkets, whole buildings are destroyed. And that's why people are waiting for help, they doesn't have food, water, refuge or medicine, they need comfort and support of outside and they are waiting for it. 
It was a painful experience for a lot of people and they need help.

Holidays




Holidays  are important because they allow people can relax and rested from work or studies, permitting them acquire good mental health. I think they are  necessary for everyone because the rate that we have in our lives is quite fast and makes us be stressed.
They also allow people to get out of the big cities, and go out of vacations in  small towns and regions throughout the country, it makes the trade  triggered and then the people who live there can generate profits to live the rest of the year, without having to suffer for finance.

In my opinion  holidays are the best days of the year because they gives me the opportunity to rest or travel everywhere in the country or outside. My favorite place to go in a holiday in  is the beach. Go there with my friends or my family I enjoy it allot. And In second place I liked to go camping to the mountains or the countryside and sleep in a tent. This  hobby I got it from  the scouts since I was a child. 

The next nearest holiday is New Year and the most probably is I am going to go to the beach with the friends or with family to make a big celebration.
I like to travel with people because I think you have to share the good times of life with your partner.
