4: I love the series!

In this post I’ll write about a series I watched that its name isMerli. Merli is a 

Spanish-Catalonian series that is about a professor of Philosophy, who encourageshis 

students to be reflective and critical of their actions, thoughts, reality, and 

society with the philosophy.

The series has a total of 40 episodes divided into 3 seasons, baptized with the 

name of different philosophers. Created and written by Héctor Lozano and directed 

by Eduard Cortés. Merlí was premiered on 2015. Personally I saw her in a week, 

because I hooked very fast. The reason I think it was because since I was in school 

I like philosophy, it reminded me a bit of the book The World of Sofia, where 

philosophy is narrated in a more entertaining and linked to reality.

I think I like the series so much because it shows a form of alternative pedagogy, 

where students are protagonists of their learning, guided by a teacher who motivates 

them to always relate content with reality. This is a way for learning to be meaningful. 

I also like the relationship that is generated between teacher and students, which 

moves away exclusively from the role of teacher, and manages to establish 

relationships of trust, personal, and even friendships. I like this because 

I think that pedagogy sometimes forgets that we are integral people and away from 

that, is not living it.

My favorite character is Pol Rubio and I was very happy to know that they will do a 

Spin off focused on their life; I am very excited to see it.

I recommend all those who like philosophy, but also those who are passionate about pedagogy.

3: MY FAVORITE TECHNOLOGY PIECE

Since I was about 8 years old I am inserted in a technological world, first with 

television, then with my dad's first cell phone that was given to him at work (it was 

giant and with antenna) and with the computer. For an unknown reason my 

parents always kept me away from technology, television and the 

computer, I could use them with specific hours.

When I was 17, when I entered university, they gave me my first cell phone, which 

had an internet connection. I discovered an endless number of functions: listening to

music, talking with people quickly through flames or messages via WhatsApp, taking 

pictures, searching for information on google, etc.

Since then I think that it is my technological object that I use the most and that I like 

the most. At that time my sister had moved to Santiago (I living in Antofagasta), and 

allowed us to have constant contact cell phone and also make video calls. I feel it was 

a very useful tool to keep in touch. 

Apart from that, with the cell phone I listen to music on Spotify, also when I travel 

I watch series or movies with the Netflix application, it also allows me to leave the 

internet with instant doubts through google, and something I also appreciate is having a 

calculator (I am bad for math) and have an alarm, because I do not like many digital ones.

Today I feel dependent on the cell phone, because it keeps me in touch with my parents 

who are in Antofagasta. If I had to mention life without him, it would be very sad, for 

example I should communicate with them only by phone (and without being able to see 

them, as in the videos) or send them letters that would take a long time. 

Strange fact: since I arrived in Santiago, they have assaulted me 3 times and they 

have stolen my cell phone. So sad jajaja.
