Chapter 7: Ponte en su lugar

While reading the beginning of this chapter I started to relate it with a book we are reading for another subject, it is called "Lord of the flies". This book shows a period in the life of a group of children far away from civilization and how they become savages without grown ups and also without rules or limits. It represents a small society because all the characters of the book have different personalities and should live together and try to survive as best as they could in a desolate island. I would consider it similar to our society, we are all different but we have to be in contact to each other all the time and everyday.In addition to that we have to manage to live as better as possoble. PONTE EN TU LUGAR in my opinion means that we are all human and must treat others with respect only because they are humans too. Also we obtain what we give,if we treat other rudely we will receive almost the same kind of treatment. I always think about putting in the other shoes and trying to understand other people's behaviour and thoughts and consider the other person as real as me.This chapter would be the most interesting for me up to now!

Chapter 6: Aparece Pepito Grillo

I would relate this chapter with our conscience because we can not separate our bodies from it.It appears every time. On page 95 says...Uno puede ser imbecil para las matematicas y no serlo para la moral, es decir, para la buena vida. Y al reves: los hay que son linces para los negocios y unos perfectos cretinos para las cuestiones de etica... I think that not only as future teachers we should know the subject which we have to teach but also bear in mind values in order to live the good life! and transmit these values to our students too.For example if I respect them they will respect me as well. I may relate this with reciprocity. And on page 97 says... Si nadie te trata como humano, no es raro que vayas a lo bestia...Pero una vez concebido ese minimo, creo que el resto depende de la atencion y esfuerzo de cada cual...our first teachers and the most important ones are our parents;they are who first teach values through words and examples.I consider this as essential in the first years of our own lives. Then is a question of each individuals conscience.

chapter 5: Despierta baby!

I realized that in the previous chapters I almost wrote the same things because for me they were closely related.Sorry!
This chapter, number 5, connects things with people; it says that if we consider people like things, people will consider us like things too!For me the most important of my life are my family,friends and my pets that is why I do not have children yet.And I related this chapter with priorities, mine are what I mentioned before, and then career or courses, jobs and material things. The author says that We sometimes treat people as objects and as the result of that we recibe the same treatment and it does not help us to learn to live in society or to become more "human" and enjoy the good life that we are in this world to live! He also says that nobody can choose to be free for you, we, as people, are the only one who choose how to live our lives

Chapter 3 Haz lo que quieras

I related this chapter mainly with Freedom;freedom to choose but also knowing what our decision is about, for example, as students we are free to decide to study or not but we know that if we don't study, we'll obtain negative results from this choice. So I think that we have to learn to choose by ourselves, but for doing so we should know the consequences of our own choices too!According to this; I believe that we have to think twice what are we going to do before performing the actions and the reasons why we act in some way instead of other. It may be difficult sometimes for me to know what the correct decision would be, and I think that we never know the finally results of our decisions.
