ONE YEAR!!

This blog already served one year on 21st March, I thank those who are reading me. I think there are still many challenges ahead of us, I still have a thousand doubts and lack much knowledge.

We talked about democracy, whether or not a reality of how bad the rulers have spent with patients and that data protection can affect the course of an entire country.
We have spoken of authoritarianism, Morelia in the great depression, 5% charged by the PRD to their workers, also on totalitarianism.
I shared some stories like the great little Malala, the outrageous case of Amina, the brave Martha Hellhorn, the situation that happened Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, the story in a film of Persepolis and life Auu Sang Suu Kyi .


I have also shared with you the story of teens who are involved in drug trafficking, we talked of freedom, corruption, wages, also sympathetic laws, humanitarian policy, the politics of sport, tenders, and I shared my last 2 books, MT1 math skills test, and Women in Science, biographies and perspectives.
I thank you all. We will continue learning about politics, because we still have much to learn.

I read you. Until next Monday.

Michoacán, becoming history.

Everyone says that Michoacán is going down in history as the situation in. The fact that you have created the group "The Autodefenzas" that arose from people tired of being subjected by organized crime or drug traffickers has been armed and have done justice into their own hands.
 
With rural people, village people have become stronger as we go trying to catch peoples, their pacividad, tranquility.





Now, here in the city, the state capital there are many versions, there are people who think that are opportunistic, there are people who think that their struggle is genuine, some are calling already entering the capital even say there quienres are sponsored by senior politicians in Mexico ... What would you think what?




 
It is true that in recent years we have heard that organized crime has requested a fee to people who have their business in the central supply, in malls, in popular neighborhoods, etc..

Even many people said that did not want to start a business for fear that the fall of the drug.

In that sense, we should enter the city as "Self-Defense"?

What opinion do you have?
 
I read you. Until next monday.

WOMEN IN SCIENCE

International Women's Day is coming, in this context I wanted to write a few lines about women in science.

The problems that women face in terms of empowerment from their homes, from their workplaces, political, educational, in virtually all areas, also face in science, where it presents several challenges from their undergraduate to postgraduate and research.

Currently there is a special interest in learning diagnostic context in which the woman works and develops in the scientific and technological field. It is not unknown that women have little involvement in this area, and it is important and interesting to look at what is this?, Why are there so few students in scientific careers? Why do I exist in postgraduate students less women?

Perhaps it could be considered that one of the factors that influences the low fémina enrollment racing sciences, mainly mathematics and physics is that young students suffer from a lack of female role models in science and technology, which allow them to break down cultural barriers. For these students must present a social challenge, the cultural, the context in which they were raised and developed. Postgraduate studies include low enrollment, women of reproductive age, the age of marriage (obviously marked by the social "rules"), it's just the age that they should take advantage of to make their graduate studies. Also elderly care influences that women do not continue their studies.

As for those who are already investigating, a study presented in the book Latin America [1], they show the difficulties and previous barriers to entry of the National System of Researchers (SNI) of the National Council for Science and Technology (CONACYT), unlike other countries, not by being a woman means more effort for you enter your system researchers. Staying in the SNI and reach other levels (finding a lower percentage of females in levels II and III given delivery required to consolidate these), required by some data that women are 2.2 times more productive than the male.

Globally, the issues related to science and technology and higher education are on the agenda of the discussion to be considered as strategic elements in developing countries. It is however important challenge facing businesses and institutions to give timely response to the growing needs in the context of competitive dynamics, as well as generate and disseminate scientific and technological knowledge and business have the interest and ability to absorb these resources.

PS An apology for not posting photos, in reality there are no pictures of women in science available on the network, which also makes it necessary to address such situations.
