Consecuencia

Al parpadear piedes una oportunidad,
Manten uno de tus ojos abierto todo el tiempo
Tu piensas que estas en el borde,
Pero la mierda ni siquiera a empezado a pegarte
Las consecuencias que verias serian mas extrañas que una banda de mismos ebrios
Esta situacion tiene una peste mejor limpia el aire
Antes de que tu hijo se convierta en hombre
Todos nosotros queremos algo
Que sabemos que no podemos tener...tener
Tu crees que todo ha sido argumentado
Que fuiste dejado muy atras
Yo tengo por seguro que la proxima vez
Usaras un par de ojos detras de la cabeza
Las consecuencias que viste fueron mas raras
Que la ciencia ficcion de cualquier tipo
Mejor piensa rapido, rapido,
Porque no sabes que vendra en la siguiente esquina
Sera mejor no parpadear,
La consecuencia es una palabra mayor de lo que piensas
Es mas grande que tu o que yo...

En la planta de tus pies


Como un pacto sin firmar
Yo no espero más de ti
Y tú de mí no esperas más
Es un pacto sin firmar
En la planta de tus pies
En el árbol, en la mar

Como un pacto sin firmar
Yo no espero más de ti
Tú de mí no esperas más
Un pacto sin firmar
En la planta de tus pies
Traes arena de otro mar
Te los limpio y me hago el loco
Y como si esto fuera poco
Antes roto que doblarme
Antes muero que dejarte

Y no espero que seas nadie
Para mí no es importante
Yo no bailo con princesas
Pero te haré reina del baile
Estoy a punto de romperme
Porque me gustas con coraje
Mira que te lo advertí
Que te metes con quien no sabes
Ya te habrás dado cuenta amor
Que yo no hago cosas normales

Ven que no voy a cambiarte
Ni tu vida será otra
Yo te invito a este lugar
Donde el amor no se equivoca

Ven que no voy a cambiarte
Ni tu vida será otra
O ven conmigo a este lugar
Donde el amor no se equivoca

Como un pacto sin firmar
Yo no espero más de ti
Y tú de mí no esperas más
Es un pacto sin firmar
En la planta de tus pies
En el árbol, en la mar

Mira que te lo advertí
Que te metes donde no sabes
Ya te habrás dado cuenta amor
Que yo no hago cosas normales
Pero cuando quieras escaparte
Del cristal de tu escaparate
Ven que no voy a cambiarte
Ni tu vida será otra
Ven conmigo a este lugar
Donde el amor no se equivoca

Ven que no voy a cambiarte
No quiero que tu vida sea otra
Ven conmigo a este lugar
Donde el amor no se equivoca

Ven, ven, que no voy a cambiarte
Ven conmigo amor

Ven conmigo a este lugar
Donde el amor no se equivoca

Que yo no voy a cambiarte
No quiero que tu vida sea otra
Y ven conmigo a este lugar
Donde el amor no se equivoca
Se equivoca
Ni tu vida será otra
Se equivoca
El amor no se equivoca
Se equivoca

La santa tortura de quererte


¡Oh la santa tortura de quererte
de querete sin tiempo y sin medida,
sin saber si me alientas a la vida,
sin saber si me arrastras a la muerte!

!Oh la sorda pasion de poseerte,
de saber que mi sangre a ti va unida
y nos duele a los dos la misma herida,
y nos ata a los dos la misma suerte!

¡Es dulce vivir agonizando
esta extraña manera de quererte!

¡ Si te beso,mujer, estoy llorando!

Porque junto a la dicha de tenerte
en mi gozo me esta anticipando
la indecible tristeza de perderte.

How do you do? vs How are you?




We often don't know what to say when someone asks you "How do you do?" and yes often say "fine, thanks!". But that's not right... let's see why!
How do you do?
This is not a question. It is another formal way of saying "Hello." It is also very British less than American English.
The correct response is; "Pleased to meet you." or "How do you do." or just "Hello."
We only really use it the first time we meet someone.

How are you?
This is a question that refers about your state, or humor, etc.
A response is; "I'm fine thanks. And you?"

Bored vs Boring



When we want to speak in English, you often stop your conversation because you don't know how to say what you want to say... In this case, this are common words in our native language, because whe usually are without doing nothing... then you say...

Bored is an adjective that describes when someone feels tired and unhappy because something is not interesting or because they have nothing to do.

Eg: When I am bored I look at something funny to do

Boring is an adjective that means something is not interesting or exciting.

Eg: Visiting your grandparents can be boring.

Assignment # 3

Multiculturalism


Is a theory or policy that tries to understand the cultural foundation of each nation that emphasize their cultural diversity.
It's the social (and in some countries legaly-) integration of immigrant people to a national culture, and they could keep their culture, traditions, and identity, but always keeping in mind the new culture that they are in. All the cultures coexist, but there are no superposition, and always protecting the differences as a value.
The multiculturalism is in cultures whose political system promotes freedom (social liberalism) and where there are lots of ethnic groups to join the new nation.
This perspective is making conscience in the different cultural groups about the cultural diversity that exists and we have to live with, it's represented by own identities in the different paths such as religious, national and ethnic groups, trying to make a positive and non violent coexistence.

Talking personal, I've always dream about the Simon Bolívar ideals... an unit Latin American, strong and without rivalry at all, of course, trying to get together all the cultures, but not by making them one, but to know how compatriots are and know about them, to grow ourselves. That's the principle od Multiculturalism, not to discriminate, not to impose our culture, but to show society how the world works if we know how to share and give a piece of us and receive and learn about (kind of) different people.

This helps to recognize the language and speeches that every culture in particular has, but not everything is perfect...
Globalization of economic life has a consumist and lucrative level that makes people with power and domination overflow their limits, causing identity forms less social with the pass of time.
About the multiculturalism policy, it could cause a economic crisis and minority groups get exclude.
ANd of course, not everybody is tolerant, some people aren't prepared or have the willing to accept people different to them

The educational perspective is trying to avoid the relapsed in ethnicentrism trough a critical reflexion of all elements such as: Beliefs, values and cultural prejudice that let intercultural relations. Of course, the way to demonstrate this, is the TLC (Free Comercial Trade) and all that involves in social and educational subject.
