My ideal job

My ideal job is to Minister of Foreign Affairs because always I loved the international politics and relations between States. The qualities and skill that are needed is a great curriculum, qualifications and experience, because the international politics are a sensible issue and require much patience and common sense.
The current Minister is Mr. Mariano Fernandez Amunátegui who is in the charge since March 13, 2009.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs is the second in hierarchy within the nation in Chile, and if the president of the republic and the minister of the interior are not in the country, is this minister who holds the position of Vice President of the republic.
I would be a good Minister of Foreign Affairs because I know a lot of international issues and I fully understand the protocol of these matters. This job is very difficult to obtain because is a political charge and his appointment reporting directly to the president of the republic. Furthermore, to be Minister of Foreign Affairs will be holding a series of earlier posts in the field of international relations like being an ambassador abroad, Undersecretary for foreign affairs, director of boundaries and borders, etc.

The Coronation of Napoleon


The coronation of Napoleon is a painting started in and finished in 1087 by the French Jacques-Louis David, who lived between 1749 and 1825, and was the personal painter of Napoleon the first, Emperor of France.
I saw this painting for the first time when I was ten years in a history book of the Napoleonic Wars.
I like this picture because it shows all the glory of Napoleon at the time of maximum power, when the Napoleonic empire extended from Portugal to the Russian steppes, and from the North Sea to southern Italy.
In the painting you can see the moment when Napoleon crown his wife Josephine as Empress of France, then crown himself humiliated at the same pope who had travelled from Rome to Paris for the ceremony.
The coronation took place at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, 2 march, 1804.

Sir Ken Robinson and the education system

Sir Ken Robinson said about the education: “… in the future we can make progress”, according to him according, the current education does not develop the skills of students a 100 percent

Sir Ken Robinson speaks about the education, He tells us that the school does not encourage children to use their imagination, but it focuses on students using pa rational part of his intellect. Therefore, it is no longer developing all kinds of arts such as dance, sculpture, painting, etc. For Ken Robinson the intelligence has three characteristics: is varied, distinctive and dynamic, and that the brain is not divided between an emotional and rational. According to him what he wants the current education is to train good teachers college, and that people should keep their thoughts and instincts in order to achieve the full intellectual development and not just believe what is taught in school is what matters.
