Hello! Today I want to talk about a special place for me, the place where I lived since always; Requinoa. This place is located in the sixth region in Chile, and this is to twenty minutes south of Rancagua, this is a nice place because is a combination of field and city, and I know, this is my place.

Requinoa was born day sixth of May of 1894, and this place include mountains and valley, and rural places and field places. This place is a farming community for excellence.

In Requinoa, are the things what there are in all the villages, but all is smaller. In Requinoa there is a Square, a Train Station, a Police Centre, a station of taxis, a fireman group, and other, but Requinoa is compound for other places, for example: Los Lirios, Los Quillayes, San Agustín, El Abra, Villa Francia, and others like where my house is located, El Trigal.

 Requinoa is a small place but is very beautiful because have to a lot of pretty landscapes. This is my place because I was born here and I will remember this place forever.

Repercussion of the next World Cup.

In Brazil, millions of people were thrown out of their homes, because the World Cup is coming. Just in Sao Paulo seventy thousands of people were evicted because their house lands must be used for repair works.

For the passion of football for part of the all the world, a lot of persons will lose their homes and will release for the street.

This next World Cup will be realized in five of June of present year and this caused a lot of controversial opinions about the World Cup repercussions. Because this affect a lot of thing for example, this will give happiness to the world but this will bring sadness for the people too. For a way, this world cup will join to much people but for other way this will leave to many people in the street and this signify unhappiness for all the world because the story of the people who will stay in the street, us touch on our hearts.

In these days, the polemics repercussions of World Cup, have generated a lot of protest in the Brazilian streets.

Maquiavelo's legacy.

Nicolas Maquiavelo is a very important person in the administration´s history because he did a lot of important contributions for this. He was born in Florencia in 1469, then past the time and he was designated secretary of second chancellery responsible for externals issues and the war of city, he was involved on political issues during all his life. But, he didn’t his most important contributions in his work; he did in political issues, especially in Administration’s issues.

Maquiavelo did a lot of contributions in my area of studies, but two of them are:

- He wrote about two types of leader: a natural leader and the leader who got his techniques.

- And he wrote about what the continuous existence of any government depend of approval or support of the multitudes.

The Maquiavelo’s work be used in this times for professionals in different fields, for example in Public Administration, because teaches to people to be betters leaders.

I know the importance of Maquiavelo because we study him in the class of Claudia Heiss, “Pensamiento Político”, and in this class we read two texts of him what are very important: “El principe” and “Discurso sobre la primera década de Tito Libio” , and then we know his importance for Public Administration and for Political Science.
