Latin American Council of Social Sciences

Since some professors in university gave me this website, I  interested in their approach and wide variety of material.
The Latin American Council of Social Sciences  (CLACSO) is an international non-governmental organization created in 1967, that maintain formal consultative relations with UNESCO. Currently, meets a total of 293  research centers and teaching programs and postgraduate degree in Social Sciences based in 25 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, U.S. and Europe. 
In this website I can found  notes, articles and journals related to education in Latin America and a extensive virtual library with books and authors of great benefit to our training as educators critics.
The Council's objectives are the promotion and development of research and teaching of Social Sciences, the strengthening exchange and cooperation among institutions and researchers inside and outside the region, and the proper dissemination of knowledge produced by scientists between social forces, social movements and civil society organizations. Through these activities CLACSO contributes to rethink, from a critical and plural perspective, the integral problem of Latin American and Caribbean societies. 
CLACSO is one of the sites most important social sciences worldwide and I think we should use it, mostly because we have free access the all documents from the website.
I invite you to visit it!    http://www.clacso.org.ar/

Don't stop the music!!

How important is music in my life?, the music have a privilege place in my life, is part of my memories, of my present and I think cannot live without it.
I start listening music everyday and when I cannot listen music, I feel that something is missing, my morning start without the power, without the energy that comes from music is horrible!. I have the need listen music, I like almost all kinds of music, pop, rock, romantic, "pachanga", cumbia, salsa, ska, reggae, reggaetton, trova, folcklore, instrumental, etc. The metal or hard rock are music style that I not like, because according my vision, when we listen music is for enjoy and relax and with the metal honestly I can not connect, it bothers me their aggressive sound and meaningless (for me).
About my musical skills, really I don't have :( I would love to sing as mariah carey, areta franklin or even as paulina rubio jaja! but I don't have the talent necessary for to be a star!, but I don't need to know sing to make it in the shower, in bed, in the courtyard, on the street, at parties, karaoke, etc.
Finally, the music for me is like the air I breathe, when I listened for the first time I couldn't stop it, turned into an almost biological need for survive everyday!
