Story about an expert

 

Hello, I'm here to tell you about Rachel Carson. She was born in 1907 in Springdale, Pennsylvania. She lived on a farm with her family, where she studied zoology and genetics but was unable to finish her studies due to various difficulties such as the death of her father, so she eventually went to work for the Fisheries Service, where she wrote educational scripts for a radio program called "Romance Under the Waters". Finally she began her career as a marine biologist and writer at the same time.

She wrote texts and summaries for brochures that reached professionals in the sector and the general public. One of the texts that I liked most about her and for which I admire her was about the promotion of seafood, talking about the eating habits of North Americans and how they are replacing classic foods with new ones due to the difficulties of supply caused by World War II.

Then sadly his sister passed away, taking care of his mother and nieces. Then she decides to quit her job and to dedicate herself completely as a writer, where she also writes about various books related to the sea, for example, one of them is called "Silent Spring". I like this book because it talks about DDT, this is a pesticide that in those times was used to control insects in agricultural crops and insects carrying diseases such as malaria in mosquitoes, but what this scientist focuses on is the damage that DDT can produce in harmless species causing toxicity and subsequently the extinction of these species. 

I wanted to add that I also like this scientist for the courage she had to face such difficult situations as that of her family and still go ahead and succeed professionally, helping the public about eating habits in times as scarce of food and as difficult as the World War.

Education in children !!

 

Hello, I don't really know if I have many things to talk about or maybe I have many, but I can't think of one that is so interesting.

I could comment on the perspective I have on basic education in Chile. I feel that children from childhood have to be encouraged to imagination, also to create things and not limit them to a single study system, I feel that art, planting and harvesting crops, carpentry, etc. should be implemented more. As long as they teach us from an early age to be self-reliant and know the basics to be able to survive in any situation. I remember that I saw on television, on a channel that I don't remember, that in the most developed countries children were taught from an early age to cook, to take care of plants and to be more aware, also to know about a little carpentry. All that was his classes and I found it fabulous, because sometimes the parents do not have the time to be teaching him all those things and that are very necessary in the long term for personal survival, they also taught the children to be more creative and imaginative , which I feel that they don't do much with this type of system, that they prefer that we all be the same and that we cannot develop in what we most want, for example, that instead of studying mathematics as a child, it is better to do things with clay or learn useful things that will serve you for a lifetime. At least that is what I feel for the younger children.
