We all as humans have felt that we don't belong to the right place or that we are not making decisions to satisfy ourselves instead we are doing it to satisfy others deams, then, thanks some circumstances just few of us discover something that make us feel different and alive, for me one of those things have been poetry and literature. Fortunately I found a movie that is related to my experience, "Dead poets society", this movie reminds me some teachers that made me love poetry, and in the movie this teacher is Jhon Keating by the actor Robin williams; the movie is about a group of students of the Welton Academy in the northeast United States in 1959 whom have a new english teacher that is really different from the other ones; this new teacher, Jhon Keating, wants to inspire his students to live their lives like there is not tomorrow, the expression that he uses is latin "Carpe Diem" that means seize the day, since he is making them write poetry ,they start making a group that the teacher had when he studied in the academy "Dead poets society" and because of its, the students start living their lives in their own terms and just thinking "Carpe Diem", around this the movie involves a lot of events and complex, but the important thing is what this movie could make us think; it is not easy to live as we want to, but this movie really inspires me to make my desisions always thinking about the good things that could happen and leaving my fears away. Carpe diem it's a lifestyle, it is not just reading poetry and complain about the system, carpe diem means also to do something remarkable with our lives, living as we want is part of our nature and our race, so in conclusion this movie taught me that life it's really ephemeral and that one day we will be just a memory, as future teachers we could make that memory unforgettable or we could be just a person more in the world, working and doing what the system is asking you to do all the time.
Thanks for reading, now I have some questions for you:
1. Why do you think most of teachers don't care about helping their students in the process of creating an identity?
2. Why do you think you could be a good/bad profesional?
3. why do you think "seize the day" or "carpe diem" it's something relevant or it's something that you could practice in your daily life?
1.Because they have no vocation or pleasure on what they do and work for students.
ResponderEliminar2.I don't think there's a stereotype for that, because you can be good in many ways and so you can be bad, I think is more about what you decide to be.
3.It is something that goes further than just "seize the day" for me carpe diem is actually a lifestyle, and as I don't practice it in a integral way at least I try to do lots of things that make me happy everyday
1. Because sometimes they just worry to teach and that's it, no more. " I don't care who you are, just do my homework as long as you stay here" Sadly many teachers do that.
ResponderEliminar2. You could be both, but you never know. I will do my best and I will not do the mistakes many teachers and proffesors commited to me and my friends.
3. I try to do that and you can tell it because when I do my "carpe diem" some people got mad :p
1. Because most of them only think in teaching concepts and repeat what philosophers said before, no more. Sometimes they do not care if you have troubles in your life.
ResponderEliminar2. Everything depends on you and the moment, you will discover if you are a good or a bad teacher because of the situation you have to face, if you care about news societies, you will act as a good and committed teacher, but if you do not, you just act like an apathetic one.
3.That phrase is so relevant and common for my lifestyle, I try not to think it is the last day but I enjoy everyday as a new opportunity. Look what I found: "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero"

ResponderEliminarHope you are fine.
I've never watched this movie but I may perceive this a beautiful story. Therefore many people love it indeed.
1. Each teacher contributes a bit of in our growing process. There's not teacher that does not give any of their knowledge *even bad ones.
2. I do not know. So far I might be a good role model for them. Then in some years I can respond confidently.
3. I seldom do it, as you already know.
1. Maybe because they just care about the money and they lose the love for what they do.
ResponderEliminar2. That question will be answered by my students right now I can barely say that I am a good person.
3. I try to live as no one will do it and believing in what i know.
1) Because they don't have passion to teach and when you don't put all your heart in your work, you are not going to have good results. "don't try to pull a hen's teeth"
ResponderEliminar2) We don't know what is a good teacher because perceptions are different we just hope to help others.
3) We try to enjoy everyday without thinking that is going to be the last day.
1. Because most of the teachers are trying to accomplish some standards stablished by the institution
ResponderEliminar2. I don't know, you may think that you're a good teacher but there is going to be someone that thinks you're not
3. I try to do it
1. Cause they don't know what they do
ResponderEliminar2 . I Hope be a good teacher and I think that I can do it... is just put all of me
3. I do every single day because I will never know when I could die
1-Because they do it for money
ResponderEliminar2-I dont know, in some years I´ll see
3- I Believe I try to do it
