Social Issues

The eating disorders are a big problem in the actual Chilean society.
Firstly, anorexia, bulimia and overweight have terrible consequences on people's health, diseases like fatigue, ulcers or high blood pressure are the principals, but there are many more diseases and this is apart of psychological problems and self-esteem that may have. Secondly, Chile is the 9^th country in the world with most overweight. The explication to this situation is because the Chilean society had a change in the feeding patterns in the 90´s decade (Del Aguila, 2013). Thirdly, Chile is 1^st in the South American ranking of childhood obesity. In Chile, mainly in the countryside, the people think that a fat child (“well fed child” in Chile) is a healthy child.

In conclusion, the statistic it is clear, Chile have eating disorders and this disorders produce problems in the peoples´s health. Taking all this into account we can say that in Chile the eating disorders are a big problem to the society.

A very special person

One of the people that I admire the most is my grandfather Ernesto.

Firstly, my grandfather does not care what they say. He met my grandmother in 1960, she had a little boy, but no matter what people said, he got married with her. Also, she is 5 years older. I think the Chilean context and I am proud for my Tata (I say Tata to my grandfather).
Secondly, my grandparents were a poor family, but my grandfather always worked to his family would eat. Once when my aunt was 10 years old wanted entry to an English program (She always has been good to English, now she is English teacher), and my Tata worked extra hours to pay that program to my aunt. With this story he is an example for me when I will be father.
Thirdly, He always has been a responsible person, now with 76 years he work. I like his grandson he teach me the responsibility. He never don’t go to his job. He wake up to 4:00 AM to come his job to 7:30 AM and do all before his bosses come.

In conclusion, I admire and I am so proud of my grandfather because he is a great father, husband and grandfather. I always said, he is the best person in this world.
