Yoga

A few days ago, I tried  to run upstairs some metres and i felt so tired, even my breath was very fast; then, I noticed that my physical health was terrible. For that, I remembered when i was a little youngest than today and I did yoga.

I did a different type of yoga called Bikram Yoga. It consists in being in a room with 42 grades of heat and doing 26 positions during 90 minutes. The exercise brings a lot of benefits to your body and your mind, because you work every muscle, joint, tendon and all the fibres of your body, also, it helps to the concentration. And, why does this yoga use the heat? The heat softens the body to do differents positions, because you need flexibility. In addition, the heat produces perspiration to eliminate toxins, cleaning your body.

I would like to do this sport or exercises again, because in every session you could find a lot of energy inside of you, getting free to the outside, even the energy of the group, in this room, was awesome. I will reconsider this type of yoga.

Presentation

Well, for my future presentation on my english class, I am going to talk about the types of legitimate rule by the German sociologist, philosopher, jurist, and political economist, Max Weber, on his book “Economy and society”. I chose this topic because is very interesting how works and affects the domination in differents areas of our life, even in our reality. My presentation is going to organize in characterise how Weber looks the domination and its classifications according to various types of legitimacy, finally, I am going to give examples where can see the domination.
Weber describes three pure types of domination: legal, traditional and charismatic. In a little description, the first one is about a domination based on a statute. It means that you do not obey to a person, you obey the rule established and everything is regulated for a statute, like in a State. In second place, the traditional domination is the authority ligitimated based in a “has always existed”, because people has inherited and accepted it without thinking, for example the feudal regime, where vassals were dominated by feudal lords. Finally, the charismatic authority is a affective devotion to a person and his or her supernatural qualities. It explains the authority of political or religious leaders, like Hitler or Jesus, but the problem is when the leader die or the followers do not believe in the person anymore, then the domination is over.

Technology

I think my cellphone is my favourite piece of technology. I have got it for two years at christmas day and my dad gave it to me. I like this object because it works for everything, you can make calls, sending messages, listening to music, watching videos, surfing on internet, actually, it is a multifunctional, because you can use it like a calculator, a watch, a radio and others things that you want to do.

Now, I use it everyday for being connected with different people in applications that I downloaded, like Whatsapp, Facebok, Gmail, even Ucursos; and I listen to the radio too when I am going to the university. I believe that if I did not get it, I would feel incommunicated, so I always try to check it before go to everywhere.

However, I think the technology is going to control us, because if you look other people around, you will see a lot of men and women only using their cellphone unworried of everything and it is bad for our relationships, they are not the same as always.

Photo

This picture reminds me a lot of emotions and it is a special for me. The photo was taken two years ago by a friend of us. In this photograph we were in a house of  elderly men and women. We went to play some pieces of music to entertain them for free. At the end of every song, I loved the faces of this people, they were moved and happy. Finished our presentation, they came to us and congratulated us, because It was wonderful, they felt “like in heaven”. Our team were so happy for cause those feelings in this people. I think the music is  a universal language and its function is cause a feeling in every person who listen it, is an issue of  belong to and identify with it.
I like this photo because it reflects our work like a team and we could keep together in all those rehearsals before our presentation. Also, I like for the way we played and the most important thing is how we transmited the music to the life of this people.
