Willy Toledo and the Red Church

junio 18, 2018 George Cunningham

On a breezy afternoon in May, actors Guillermo Toledo and Alberto San Juan were sitting on the stage of the Centro Pastoral San Carlos Borromeo, which is better known as Iglesia Roja (‘’The Red Church’’) for its affiliations with marginalized groups and its interesting track record of serving as the speakerphone for extreme leftist groups… Sigue leyendo Willy Toledo and the Red Church

The Catalonian Affair

junio 13, 2018 George Cunningham

There is something oddly troubling about the notion that has been whipped up recently by the Catalan separatist movement, and it's its relentless, almost vitriolic attempt to pass off as a matter of civil liberty what should only be considered as an affair that essentially pertains to the basic principle of upholding national laws.

La Manada

LinkedIn can be a great tool for job hunting. Anyone can have an account there, but it is more useful if you belong in a certain career type (like office jobs) or if you already have some professional experience - recent graduates may not find much room for self-promotion. Its main appeal lies in the… Sigue leyendo Job Searching on LinkedIn

Identity or Something Like it

noviembre 19, 2013junio 19, 2018 George Cunningham

In Anglo cultures (particularly in the US) you are very often asked where you are from — not necessarily because you may happen to have an accent, but because it's a question that is almost naturally embedded in casual conversation, right along with "what do you do for a living?". So, where you come from… Sigue leyendo Identity or Something Like it
