Museo de Arte Precolombino

In this post I am going to talk about the page of the Museo de Arte Preocolombino: http://www.precolombino.cl

This page contains everything related to the Museo de Arte Preocolombino, as the exhibitions, the detail of the collections of their archaeological pieces; or information about the cultures exhibited in the Museum: period, social organization, economy, etc. In addition, it has audiovisual educational material, one directed for children, where it is shown with cartoons how the people lived, and other where shows the songs, stories and stories in the form of audio about these cultures.

Consider that it is a good page for anyone who likes archeology, in an academic way or as a pastime. I myself sometimes revised it to know specific things about certain peoples. A very complete and easy to use page, which allows a pleasant online journey through the timeline of our ancestors. It is for these reasons that I wanted to make a post about this page.

Twilight Force

This post doesn't talk about veganism or anthropology. In this moment, I want talk you about one of my favorite musical bands: Twilight Force. This photo was taken at 6th June, 2018; there the band present to new vocalist, Alessandro Conti, an italian power metal singer, very famous in the genre. 

Twilight Force plays epic symphonic power metal, but they prefer to say it "adventure metal". That is because they want invite us to a fantasy world, where there are dragons, elves, dwarfs, brave warriors, wizards and many other creatures. Each member of the band is a character from the epic story told in his lyrics.

Why veganism?

In this post I wish talk you about why we should choose veganism like ethical principle.

The reason is non human animals feel, they have will and own interest. So, they are someone, not something: they are subjects. If we exploit them we are treating them like things. They are not exist to our wishes, they exist to own purposes. The other animals (I say "other animals" or "non human animals" because we are animals too) have our same basic interest like to live, to enjoy, to not suffer. If we apply the gold rule of ethics (do not do to others what you do not want them to do to you), we must respect those interests.

Veganism is an ethical principle that refuse the animal exploitation. Veganism is moral, it is not a diet or life style. In other hand, to exploit to other animals is not necessary because we can be totally healthy with a 100% vegetable diet. That it is support by nutrition science (*). Also, the industry of animal exploitation produces big damages to environment like water pollution, emission of greenhouse gases or deforestation (**).
