Superman, the best superhero

My favorite superhero is Superman.  He was created by writer Jerry Siegel and the artist Joe Shuster in 1932. The principal character's appearance is: a blue, red and yellow costume, with a cape and a stylized "S" on his chest.

The original story relates that he was born on the Kripton planet before being sent to earth when he was a child. Superman was discovered and adopted by a Smallville farmer and his wife. The child is called Clark Kent and his new parents imbued him with a strong moral compass. Very early he discovered his superhuman abilities, which he uses for the benefit of humanity. As Clark Kent Superman lives with the humans as a “shy reporter” for the Metropolis newspaper Daily Planet. There he works with the reporter Lois Lane, with whom he is romantically linked.

Superman's personality is rough and aggressive with a strong moral compass. The values that he represents to me are a strong engagement with the humanity and a big love to the earth and Clark Kent’s family and friends.

I like this superhero because he has some extraordinary powers!!! Superman's famous arsenal of powers has included: flight, super-strength, invulnerability to non-magical attacks, super-speed, vision powers, super-hearing, and super-breath.

Jerome Brunner

In my field, the psychology, I admire Jerome Bruner. Hi is an American psychologist who has contributed to cognitive psychology and cognitive learning theory in educational psychology.

            One of his works has been to distinguish three basics ways whereby the man represents his mental models and the reality: 1. Enactive representation (action-based), 2.Iconic representation (image-based) and 3.Symbolic representation (language-based).

            I like Jerome Bruner because his theory has had important implications in the education and in the pedagogy. I like very much his interest about the evolution of cognitive child’s abilities.

            One of his criticisms is in the fact about which many important things that the culture suggests has been forgotten in the school.

            Some important masterpieces are:

• A Study of Thinking (1956)
• Processes of Cognitive Growth: Infancy (1968)
• Child's Talk: Learning to Use Language (1983)
• Acts of Meaning, Harvard University Press (1990)
• Minding the Law, Harvard University Press (2000)
• Making Stories: Law, Literature, Life, Harvard University Press (2003)

I hope my second grade classmates like this important man and his theory because they will see him in the Psicología del desarrollo’s class.

It's me =)

Hello my dear classmates!

Through this piece of writing I want you to know more about me and what are my objectives during this blog experience. Well, as you know, my name is Carolina Moreno, I’m 21 years old, I am studying Psychology at Universidad de Chile, and I live in Maipú with my parents. I have only one sister, her name is Gabriela. Our relationship as sisters is great, because we always are doing things together, she is so funny and also a good friend. One of my favorite things I enjoy in life is dancing. I think you can be free moving your body wherever you want. It’s so cool! In fact, this semester I took an artistic subject called contemporary dance. Related on what is my greatest this semester is that my English can be better, especially in writing and also I hope do not make a lot of grammatical mistakes.

I hope you have enjoyed my post.

See you soon!
