Questions

 In this time, I'm gonna talk about some varied topics.

 First, the violence on television. I think isn't that bad. Obviously children shouldn't see it but parents have the responsibility to monitor what their kids see, because it's not the only place where they can find violence. Anyway, I think it's good to put warnings about the content type to be given, because not all people like it, and nobody can know what kind of programming is going to be transmitted on television in the moment.

 Another topic is Adopting. Adopt kids is not simple. If a person or couple, anyone, want to adopt a child, they must have the necessary for it, money, the capacity, be responsible, and be prepared, to be aware about what means to take care of a child. Talking about pets, I think it's the best, because there are a lot of poor abandoned or homeless animals that expect and need to have a family, someone who loves them and takes care of them.

 This is a bit related with the previous one, it carries a lot of responsibility to have a pet in home.In my opinion, this is a bit difficult, sometimes people think that is too easy and get a pet with no idea of the thing they just already do. They must have a pet according to the available capacity, the money they have, and most importantly, they should want to have it. It makes no sense if the pet will later be abandoned, and it will be left without the due care and the affection it needs.

 And finally, recycling. This is too long, the problem of the situation in the planet already is too much. I say that, is good, of course, but it need more scope, and more interested people, although in this time the quantity has grown. Places to recycle are not within reach of all, and when it comes to things like batteries its even more difficult. The time for doing something about this is almost gone.

Postgraduate

 For postgraduate education, the options I want are molecular biotechnology (here we go again) or biochemistry. Really, I think the option of a master in biochemistry is more possible than a doctorate in molecular biotechnology, I'm thinking is just a stupid obsession for now, and probably in the future, when I finish studying my current career, I will finally leave that idea, or that's what I hope.

 Talking about the master, which is the most likely option, I could do it in the Faculty of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, of University of Chile. The lines of investigation that more catch my attention are biochemistry of proteins and biotechnology, or toxicological biochemistry and molecular diagnostic. Although there are also environmental biochemistry, and clinical biochemistry. If I could, I would see the possibility of working while doing the master, but that can be hard, so it's more probably that I will have to work and get savings, and then do the master, more calmly and better.

 It can change in the future, but now I would prefer biochemistry of proteins and biotechnology. Enzymes, toxins and peptides are investigated here, for design new medicines, or give them other uses such as industrial, environmental, generally biotechnological. I find it very interesting, because recently I saw a story where some scientists managed to obtain an antibiotic from a natural polymer, lacking toxic effects, and I think this is really important, because it give a new approach. It had problems of solubility, but was compensated, and with that they got something better than they had already, with properties just as potent as a modern antibiotics. I know that is necessary continue studying after finish the career, but I just loved this, and I'm very excited to continue studying, both now and in the future.
