“Impossible” law may cause a negative impact on the health of Latino immigrants
Four years ago, in April 2006, I read a report about a study published by a psychologist in Utah, detailing the negative consequences of discrimination on the health of Latino immigrants. What would happen then to immigrants’ health if discrimination becomes law? First, let’s briefly revie…
Ley “imposible” generaría consecuencias negativas para la salud de inmigrantes
Hace cuatro años (abril del 2006) leí el resumen de un reporte, preparado por un psicólogo de Utah, en el que se detallaban las negativas consecuencias para la salud que sufren los inmigrantes a causa de ser discriminados. ¿Qué pasaría con la salud de esos inmigrantes si la discriminación se…
Let’s reconnect with our own past
A few weeks ago, yielding to the pressure and suggestions by some of friends, I installed a Facebook application in my cell phone, so now I can be in constant connection with my “friends” and with their activities and events. The key word is “constant.” I must confess I am unsure if it is …
No perdamos la importante conexión con nuestro pasado
Desde hace algunas semanas, cediendo a la presión y a las sugerencias de varios amigos, decidí instalar en mi teléfono celular una aplicación para conectarme directamente con Facebook, de manera que ahora estoy constantemente conectado con mis “amigos” y con sus actividades. La palabra clave…
Information or conditioning? A difficult question
Last weekend I listened to one of those late-night radio programs and the guest said we live in a “matrix,” like the one shown by the Wachowski brothers in their 1999 movie, forcing us to accept the illusion as reality and conditioning as to act in certain way when we face certain situations…
¿Información o condicionamiento? Una complicada decisión
La semana pasada, en uno de esos programas radiales de fin de semana, el invitado de turno afirmaba que vivimos en una “matriz informática” (en el sentido de la película de los hermanos Wachowski), que nos fuerza a aceptar la ilusión como realidad y nos condiciona a responder de cierta maner…
Life is not an activity for passive spectators
I recently attended an awards ceremony at a high school in the city where I live. The ceremony was, in my opinion, yet another example of the contradiction between what educators say and what they do at schools. The principal of the school, the deans, and many teachers exalted again and aga…
En el escenario de esta vida todos somos protagonistas
Recientemente tuve la oportunidad de asistir a la ceremonia de entrega de premios en una escuela secundaria en la ciudad donde resido. En ese evento nuevamente me encontré con la gran contradicción entre lo que se dice y lo que hace en las escuelas. La directora, los decanos estudiantiles y…
Another volcano has erupted, covering us with a dark cloud
Just a couple of weeks ago, Eyjafjallajökull, a volcano in Iceland, erupted and covered Europe for a week with dark cloud of ash, forcing the closure of airports and keeping on the ground powerful airplanes designed to fly even in the most adverse conditions. Such was the impact of the volc…
Otro volcán hace erupción y cubre nuestro cielo con una negra nube
La reciente erupción del volcán Eyjafjallajökull en Islandia lanzó una negra nube de cenizas sobre gran parte de Europa, obligando durante una semana al cierre de aeropuertos y manteniendo en tierra a poderosas aeronaves diseñadas precisamente para volar aún en las más adversas condiciones. …
