Cultivation Terraces

Agriculture was very important for the Inca


society but the land was not so good for
farming. There were many mountains and there
was little flat land for farming. In order to take
advantage of the land, they cut terraces1 into
the side of the mountain to create flat land for
farming. The terraces also helped rainwater
from running off.
They used to grow potato, quinoa, cotton,
pumpkin, peanuts and yuca.

1terrace: one of a series of flat areas of ground that are cut into the side of a hill like
steps so that crops can be grown there.

Chile’s main authorities

In Chile we live in democracy. We elect our government authorities through an

Let’s read about our main authorities:

The President and Ministers

The President is the head of the country and the main authority.
She or He is elected by the citizens, having more than 50% of the
total votes, and she or he appoints his or her own ministers. The
president cannot be re-elected and to run for this position, He or She must be older
than 35, and be a citizen with the right to vote. Ministers help and work with the
president in different areas. They must be people the President trusts, since they are
in charge of the ministries, such as Ministry of Education, Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Transportation, etc).
We elect the president. The presidential election takes place every four years.

Senators and Deputies


Senators approve or reject bills. Deputies propose
and approve bills. They are both elected by
universal suffrage.
We elect the members of the senate and the
deputies. The election of senators takes place every eight years. The election of
deputies takes place every four years.

Unit 7: Solving conflict


Hour: 132-133
Learning Outcome: Identify class or school community conflicts. Distinguish the causes of the
conflicts.
Contents: Solving problem

Solving problems at school

Although the objective of community life is satisfying the needs of its members,
living together is not always harmonious. Many times the interactions between
people cause conflicts which appear from different interests or needs. Conflicts are
a part of everyday life and they are not necessarily something negative. Instead,
they can represent an opportunity to start dialogue and come to an agreement.

A conflict is a difference of opinion between two or more people that happens


within a community. This allows people to become conscious of their differences
and then to commit to searching a solution.

IMPORTANT! A common mistake is to associate conflict with violence and physical


aggression; this makes the word “conflict” as something entirely negative. A conflict
can represent an opportunity to express opinions and find solutions and
agreements.
