The best in my area

One of the most important psychologist is Wundt, called the "father of scientific psychology".
Wilhelm Wundt was born on august 16th, 1832 at Neckarau, Baden. Wundt founded one of the first formal laboratories for psychological research. This was a precedent for psychology like science.
Wundt thought that mental processes are an extension of physiological processes. But we cannot fall in a mistaken though saying that Wundt`s investigation only are refer on individual ´cuz he wrote around 20 volumes of "Psychology of communityes".

I like Wundt ´cuz he is the father of the psychology like science and all the later development of this area. Why psychology must be science it`s an eternal discussion, but personally I think that mind born of biology, so we can understand it from a biological paradigm. Obviously, in this moment we haven`t the tools for understand the mind from biology, but I trust that in a closer future this can be possible.

Comment on a photograph you like

Hello, today I going to talk about the first prize photograph in World Press Photo Awards. You can find this photo in this link:
http://www.worldpressphoto.org/index.php?option=com_photogallery&task=view&id=1471&Itemid=223&bandwidth=high

This amazing photo is about Chaiten volcano. This volcano erupted last year and it ash covered like 200 kms away and Chaiten city was left destroyed by earthquakes product by eruption.
Chaiten´s residents were evacuated by Government, but this was complicated because of people didn´t want to leave his homes and his lifes.

The photo looks like the end of the world. The thunders mixed with the clouds are so beautiful and unbelievable. If you see with atention at the left the light is white and at the right the light is red this seems like a fight between angels and demons. And in the middle the fight of both forces.

My Most Precious Possession

Hello =) Today I gonna talk about my most precious possession.
My most precious possession the lenguage. Can you think a world without lenguage? I guess no. I`m not thinking only in oral lenguage, I`m thinking in the capacity to learn and use lenguage.
The book "Para que no me olvides" by Marcela Serrano it`s about this topic. The main character is a woman around 40 years old with some kind of aphasia, a lenguage illness characterized, in this case, by hasn`t the posibility of make or read a sentence but she can understand the other persons.
When I read the book I thought in the great importance of the language for the first time. I couldn`t imagine my world without the posibility of saying to my family and friends that I love them, or saying to somebody that I`m angry, or looking at a book and not understanding the words, just seeing signs without meaning. It would be horrible!!!
So I will go to talk with all the people and read anything that fall in my hands =)
