  2. Ok now, I just read the long article that I did wrong before, too quick, too superficial and only the first page.... I thouthg what the hell he is talking about??? I seemed unfinished... because it was!.

    Now, I just read it again and in the right way, right mood and as M. Carmen said in class, it is too deep to writte a bright coment in english.

    The idea that I agree the most is that although
    early experiences don’t determine a life, they set pathways, which can be changed or reinforced by later experiences.

    I agree with the most of the article but I think always there is a way to choose. Also, I know that affects are, most of the time, the engine of human behavior.

    It is great to read in english topics and ideas that I have studied in Spanish.

    I found the article quite long but very interesting althought not very surprising either because of my studies.

    I will check this guy in internet, the article have made me curious. For me it is out of the cuestion that the human being is a social animal (because we are at least animals) but it is interesting to follow the reasoning.

    Uff, this article is to speak a lot in class, I think... it would produce a great debate.
