Strike

Hi class!

Well, in this occasion, I will talk about of the student strike by the university's happening.
For this, I will answer the central questions we have to answer.

Why is Facso (and a number of faculties at U Chile) on strike this time?
Facso, and a number of faculties at Universidad de Chile, on strike, for many reasons. Between them, education market, the precarious state of the university, or exessive repression and violence by government through police.
How do you participate in these strikes?
On one side, participate passively not going to class, or evaluations, and moreover, participate actively going to talks, go to activities, and contribute to discussions. 
I personally do not do that. I'm of region, and would rather spend time with my family during the strike. Because in the holidays I can not do it, because I will be in class.
What benefits do you think will be obtained?
On my opinion, do know there is a discontent on students, and in general education.
Although, I think if the affairs of the students don't jointly with workers, we not get anything.
From your experience, what are the drawbacks of these strikes?
In academic field, less time to field contents, and knowledge gaps for us. 
In social fields, I think the information is not good to many people, for this, the media manipulates and many people think the strikes are bad and harmful.
Can you think of other means that can contribute to obtain what you (students) are after?
I think, marches are not good, and they became a habit. I think needs to be done on a larger scale interventions.

Bye!

  3. I am also interested in other types of interventions. 2011 showed a lot of creativity . What other type of intervention do you think would make a difference?

  4. I mean large scale interventions showing people who don't support the movement.. To publice the demands creatively, striking, and constructive manner. For example, I don't agree with the hooded, I think that is a large scale intervention, but in a negative way. I like much more cultural and music interventions. Regards!
