Oh, Woman

I could write thousands of pages about these amusing anecdotes, but I believe the examples are sufficient. Yet just one sole anecdote is enough for most women to identify with the male-political-official slant in this country.

My Thesis: Old Heads, New Hearts (end)

These years at the faculty have opened my eyes to a fascinating world of images and sounds, which I already knew were there but never realized were so expansive. It has opened up the doors to the knowledge of history and storytelling, and has added fuel to the flame of research.

Law and Popular Participation (II)

The questions posed were these: Is the State the only entity in society that produces law? Or can there be others? Can there be several effective bodies of law in a society? And how do we know which law should be applied in each case?

The Riddle of the Trinity

Are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost different facets of the same and only God? Or are they distinct representations of the same divinity? Perhaps they are three different Gods with coordinated roles? On maybe some other variation on the theme…? What a huge mystery contained in so few words!

Law and Popular Participation (1)

As for Cuba, much was said about how the Municipal Assemblies depend upon their superior instances for the realization of local projects, since – despite new possibilities – municipalities in Cuba still don’t enjoy real autonomy.

My Last Year as a Student

By the manner in which that person wrote, they seemed to be someone connected to the school – a student or a teacher – who scribbled their offensive comments so full of bile. Notwithstanding, there’s no one with that name in the university where I worked.

Fragility

I’ve always felt that friendship is a strong sentiment, that once you develop true ties with someone, it’s impossible to undo them. It’s if it had to do with something eternal, impervious to the passage of time, to the ups and downs of life and feelings.

My Thesis & Old Heads (VI)

Five years of studying at the Higher Art Institute’s Audiovisual Media Faculty, and a few months working in Cuban radio and television, have allowed me to outline a few points that could serve to improve both institutions.

In the Hot Corner with Alberto (II)

It’s a fact that batters here who hit 25 to 30 homeruns in a 90-game season (equivalent to 45 to 54 in the Big Leagues) do so against weak pitchers, with a strike zone that is much smaller then abroad, forcing pitchers to throw down the middle, perfect for homeruns.
