Family is very important to obtain happiness, it is indoubtedly. But is not the only one thing that could make people happy neither is enough to be happy. There exist people that don't have family and are really happy, and exist too people that had beautyfull families and they are really unhappy.
Exist a few ideas that we must to consider. First at all exist different ways to understand the happiness. For some people it means to be smiling all day, but for other one is just a feeling of peace. A family could be very good with you, giving you all what you need, but be very boring or almost.

Just a little bit of me...
About 6 months ago I were sit in the same chair. I was creating a blog for my english class.
On that time I posted that my real name is Amalia but my artistic name is Cassandra. I used it because I didn't like the idea that people could know everything about me. I really didn´t like publish my information in a blog, so I have invented a character.
Ok. But today I will overcome my trauma: I will be the first time that I write about me.
My name is Amalia and study anthropology in the Universidad de Chile. This is my third year here. In three years I have learned a lot, I met great people and live very funny moments.
I am 21 years old and I am from Santiago. I like very much to live here, to study here. I really enjoy with my friends and family.
I like to play football and ride a bike. I really like to dance and spend time with may friends dancing or doing other kind of things.
I really hope that these class could be usefull to me, because english is very diffcult to me.

The Incas
The article that I red was about one of the main stories or myths about the origin of the Incas. It was wrote thinking in the psychological, historical and anthropological implications of the actions by the protagonist
The protagonist were the brothers Ayar. They were four brothers and four sisters that started a long travel looking for a place to live. The adventure lasted several years. Some of the brothers were lost on the road, even some of them were betrayed by the rest, and others were convinced become stone. All along that time the brothers Ayar were taking place in diffrent valleys, always cultivating their food with their own hands.
Finally, they found a good place to live and Mama Huaco took two staffs of gold and threw them to the definitive settlement. it is an important way of understand de history, because it means that womans can be a really impotant part of it. Indeed it is a way to say that men and woman are equals, and both are really important for Inca's pollitical.

My favorite song
Mercedes Benz
by Janis Joplin
Oh Lord, won´t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends,
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won´t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
Oh Lord, won´t you buy me a color TV ?
Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,
So oh Lord, won´t you buy me a color TV ?
Oh Lord, won´t you buy me a night on the town ?
I´m counting on you, Lord, please don´t let me down.
Prove that you love me and buy the next round,
Oh Lord, won´t you buy me a night on the town ?
Everybody!Oh Lord, won´t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends,
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So oh Lord, won´t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?That´s it!
This is my favorite song because is an ironic way to talk about people that pride or talk with God for utilitary things. They are really materialist and delieve they desreve have suntuary things.
I feel that we must seek new ways to say things. That's why I like this song: it is an original way of saying something that has been said many times, but that has not even been heard.
Besides, I like as it sounds, since it has no musical instruments. It is only the voice of Janis Joplin, which results in an even stronger message

My favorites websites of Anthropology
I don´t know what are exactly my favorites websites relaytioned witn anthropology. But I will talk about two of them that are reallya usefull.
The firts of them is http://www.anthrobase.com/
It is a simple website. It is easy to use and doesn't have too much useless things.
Anthrobase have two things that I really like of it. the first of them is that it have a log list of recently articles about social anthropology. Those articles are about a lot of topics and were written by many different authors. and the second thing that I like of the site is taht it has very usefull dictionary of anthropology terms.
The second site is http://www.aaanet.org/
That is the website of the American Anthropology Asociation (AAA). It is one of the most important organization that make anthropology investigation.
If you are a memeber, you can access to a lot of interesting articles.
The AAA publish every month many studies about a lot of topics in anthropology. And it has a lot of resources that you can use.
When I visit the Maia's blog I could read about the website of the Anthropology department of UCL (University College of London). I think that is interesting because they raises a vission of anthropology that includes the biological area. It is an holistic way to understand de human nature.
An other site that I visited was post by Daniel. It was the Mapuche International Link. I really think that is important to know something about our past. One of the principal things that anthropology must to cosider is how our roots influence our culture. So, I recomend to investigate about it, and this page is very usefull to start to read.

Is important to say that a weekend is not just saturday and sunday. My weekend start on friday afternoon. My last friday I meet with my friends at the University. It was the birthday of one of them and we celebrate it!
Then I had to asist to a farewell of a friend. I will not see her in the next three months. I know that is not too much time, but it was important to be there to say good bye.
Late -really late actually- I went to a friend birthday. It was really funny because I could see old friends and dance a lot.
On saturday morning I went to scout.
Late, in the afternoon I played soccer in a league. My team is not very good, but is cool to play with them because is just for fun. However, we won!!!!
In the night was my father's birthday. A few people came to my house and we dinner together. Afther, i had to go to a party but I was really tired and I stayed asleep. I really wanted to go because we were going to join with my school friends.
On sunday I went to play soccer again, but this time at the university. I play in the campus team. On this match we played against the School of Public Administration, and we won.
Then, I lunch in my house and on the afternoon my family went to my house to celebrate my fathers birthday.
