 As we well know, in our country education is organized through a mixed system, a system made up of two types of establishments in which the main difference has to do with the type of financing that educational institutions receive. In that sense, on the one hand we find with public education where the state assumes a subsidiary role, and on the other with private education that is financed by private entities and third parties. Often part of the discussion has been the fact that there are inequalities between the quality of education provided by public institutions and private institutions, and that is why it seems relevant to ask the following question: Do private schools offer higher quality education or are they just prestigious? Although, in my opinion, economic resources are not in a directly proportional relationship with the quality of the education that is delivered, they do ensure certain standards that are necessary for the proper development of students, such as the pro...

 Is religion important to me? The truth is that despite the fact that I have been in contact and known many religions throughout my life, such as the Catholic, Christian and Adventist religion, I have never felt that this play an important or fundamental role in my life. I believe that religion seeks to answer to things that are not relevant to me or things that I think are beyond the reach of our understanding.

However, I fully understand and respect that there are people who find refuge in those beliefs and in this place. I personally find tha...

 Hello dear reader, in this post I am going to speak and give my opinion about the health service of our country. As we well know, the health system in Chile works through two types of medical insurance, on the one hand this Fonasa aimed at the public sector, and on the other the Isapres aimed at the private sector. This division, as in education, implies gradual inequalities between the care received by people who can pay for it and those who cannot, something that is quite problematic, if we consider that we are talking about a first need. However, both insurances have drawbacks. While hospitals have to deal with the lack of personnel and supplies, the infrastructure deficit, high demand and long waiting lists, among many others, in the private network people have to pay high prices for services, and the disparity between the plans paid by men and women is disgraceful. Unfortunately in our country, health is not a right that is insured by the state for all people, but it is a con...
