Hi! My name is Rodrigo Valdés and I want to tell you a little about my opinion of politic.
When I went to the school, I wasn’t very interested in
politic. However, upon entering the University I realized that it was a relevant
topic for my daily and journalistic life. Here are enter big topics, the voting,
the concept of democracy, the freedom to choose, among other topics, but
exists one reason very important for which I am interested in politic: This topic
it is presented throughout our society in terms of the administration of our
country.
I do not adhere any political party. What matters to me is
that the country comply with the democracy and do not create injustices against
the people.
The politics during years have demostrated be an topic that
is wrapped in the problems, corruptions and bad practices for manage of the laws
of our country, that's why Chile has tired of all the actions that Deputies and
Senators have taken in the Congress.
In this sence, my career is focused in thing very important:
“Question the Authority”. This means that we are in charge of investigating
these practices of electoral campaigns, candidates, parliamentarians and among
others to expose the truths of each area, in this case I speak specifically of
politic.
As extra data i will tell you that: One thing that I really
liked of politics ambit, it was when i had the majority age and i was able to
vote in the plebiscite of last year. It is more the feeling of taking a piece
of paper for the first time to mark you vote and then putting it in the ballot
box is something unique. Even more, when the vote you are doing is for a common
benefit and radical change in the country: Change the Constitution created in
1980, especific in the Dictatorship.
Voting is very important around the world, since you exert
your right to choose and therefore assert a right that corresponds to you as a
person.
It is a posture very appropriate to your profession rodrigo!
ResponderEliminarAlthough I have always thought that saying that you do not link yourself to any political side is not a very responsible action for any profession that requires objectivity.
This is because it is impossible to be totally objective and we will always have a preference for a specific position, and deceiving yourself and the people by not assuming your positions is dangerous for the exercise of journalism.
If I can know the political position of a journalist, I am sure that I can read his or her work knowing that he or she tries to be as objective as possible but always with a concrete approach that represents him or her as a person.
Hello! Rodrigo Valdés I very much agree with you and something similar happened to us with politics because we both met her at university. I hope you continue with that democratic thinking because that is very important to be a good journalist.

Hi mate! I share your opinion very much the truth and you pass me something similar. Although I have always tried to understand politics and I have never closed myself in a bubble, so to speak, before it was more difficult for me to take a position in some cases. But when I entered the university, like you, I began to realize that it was very important to have my own opinion about the facts and to have a clear position, so every time I try to inform myself a lot about a topic, to be able to give an opinion with basis and clarity. I also fully share the importance of all this for the work of a journalist and his functions of questioning the authorities and institutions and ensure the proper functioning of these.
