Dr Maldonado´s presentation

The presentation of the Maldonado’s doctor was really interesting for us because he used the scientific evidence for to abolish many myths related to the development of the nervous system in the different periods of the life.

I believe that the most important topic mentioned by the Maldonado’s doctor were:

“There is no time to lose as everything important about the brain is decided by the age of three”, the doctor explained that there are many scientist who think that is in the early years of a child when (s) he is most capable of learning because we birth with a maximum number of neurons that we lose during our develop. But the Maldonado’s doctor said that the learning depends of the environment because if we live in an “enriched” environment we could have better able to perform the learning task, there fore I think that we are very important, like future midwifery, in the first hours of the baby’s life because we should prepare an comfortable environment during their birth, The birth is the most important event in the human life.   The second presented by the Maldonado’s doctor was: “We only use 10% of our brain anyway”, he said that this idea is wrong because the brain always is 100% active even when we are sleeping.

Finally I think that other important idea presented by the doctor was:  “The men use the left-brain’, the women use the right-brain”, but the doctor think that the hemispheres of the brain don’t work separately, furthermore is impossible that the people think that for this reason “The men are more intelligent than the women”.

The abortion

Dra. Binfa´s presentation was really interesting because she spoke about different topics related with our career like the abortion, use of pills, women’s batter and others.

I believe that the most important topic exposed by the Dra Binfa was the abortion.

The abortion always has been a very debated topic in our country because every years the numbers of teen pregnancies continue increasing and according to the numbers the teenagers are the one that’s go  with major frequency to the abortion for to finish with a pregnancy.

In my opinion I believe that at first the teenagers think that the pregnancy is a great problem because in the future they will not be able to study, furthermore when they confront a situation like the pregnancy they always look for the easiest way for to escape of this situation and In this case the form easiest to go out of the problem is the abortion.

 In Chile the teenagers of high social class they are who turn to the abortion there fore generally the birth rate always is higher in the low social class.

The abortion can affect directly in the teenager’s develop because often they feel out of the family and they can develop a guilt feeling furthermore this situation affect in the relation whit their friends and in the performance school.

I think that in the abortion the parent’s role is fundamental because in a situation like this the teenagers feel alone and unincluded.

The stress!!!

Nowadays we live in a very busy world; we have many problems and worries that often cause tension and anxiety like relationship problems, family conflicts, death of a close relative, heavy emotions or a natural disaster like an earthquake. Furthermore often the people think that in the job or school there are too many pressures and demands on them, all these situations can cause stress in the people, for this reason the stress is a very common problem in the world.

The stress is a nervous, hormonal and immune system alteration. This alteration is caused by the intensive activity of these systems when the people have some worry.

 All the persons respond different to this situation, some people become angry and others develop eating disorders or substance abuse problems, but the most typical symptoms are: anxiety or panic attacks, irritability, headaches, chest pain, stomach problems, allergic reactions such as eczema, sleeping problems and sadness or depression.

There are many relaxation techniques for delete the stress, like yoga or meditation, but also is many important to know that when the people have stress need the support of all their family because this is a very awkward situation.

In the future we are going to work many people and they can have many problems like these and is our responsibility to help them, we should give them all our support and information about the stress because I think that there are many people whit this problems but they don’t know about this disorder.
