DELIRIUM


Hello friends! Today I’m going to tell you about one of my favorite books, “Delirium” by Lauren Oliver. It’s the first book of the trilogy of the same title and the other two books are called Pandemonium and Requiem.
Delirium is a young novel about a young woman, Magdalena "Lena" Haloway, who falls in love in a dystopian society where love is seen as a disease.
In short words, "Lena" is the protagonist of the Delirium Saga. When his mother died because of “deliria nervosa de amor”, she moved to live with his uncles. Now she is looking forward to his 18th birthday. Through a surgical intervention in the brain the area that controls your emotions will be eliminated, and finally she can has a peaceful, safe and painless life but the only big problem is that she falls in love with Alex.
I read this book at school and I liked it a lot because it is a topic that is very interesting, I think it is very difficult to imagine a world where feelings are forbidden, this book attracted my attention in seconds and its development impressed me even more, for this reason it quickly became one of my favorite books.

This book belongs to the genre of dystopian works, which are like the classic “1984” by George Orwell or “A Happy World” by Aldous Huxley raises the existence of a rationally organized society, in which there is no possibility of error, and in which the inhabitants They live in full harmony.

STUDY PROGRAMME

Hello Classmates. Today I’m going to tell you about the changes that I would like to make to my study programme. First of all, I think that the psychology career curriculum is very complete and think that all the subjects that we have contribute to the training as psychologist but I must admit that before starting the university I never checked the study programme. However, I have heard that the hours of practice outside of the university are very short, more specifically we only have 2 field works during the career that lasts five years as minimum and I consider that if we work with people we must  prepare earlier to know more about the psychologist practice in real situations. It is necessary to recognize that now efforts to change the study programme are being made and this is considering the opinions of students, academics and other people. On the other hand, in this one year and half of university the use of technology has been limited, we don’t use the laboratories. We on...
