BLOG 9: CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

My current career is social work and as a career in social sciences it has a very broad curriculum and allows me to access the range of disciplines of a social nature such as sociology, psychology, philosophy, economics, statistics, history, research methodology, this is not It means that the disciplinary training is of low quality, but if it generates a type of "rigid" education in which it is not allowed to choose based on people's interest, I would like to be able to study gender in 1 year, but I have it in 4 years. we need more freedoms now. The academic load is difficult and extensive because it means not only participating / attending classes, but also reading texts, researching and evaluating the content, I do not even know if the academic load really helps timely learning (we must acquire knowledge, not memorization). My study plan lasts 5 years (or more) in general, which bothers me because in Europe it is only 3 years of bachelor's degree. The faculty facili...

BLOG 8: PERSONAL OPINIONS

What is your opinion about legalizing abortion in some cases? I believe that abortion is a human right of women of free choice and that it does not depend on specific cases and that this should be based on the personal decision of each woman in accordance with the legislation that allows her safety and integrity. What is your opinion about the Chilean tradition called ‘mechoneo’? I think it is a humiliating practice in front of the colleagues who enter the university, it was a "tradition" for a long time to the point that people considered it normal. These types of events seek to harm the integrity of people. What is your opinion about owning an exotic pet? I think this is one of the things that we have done the worst as human beings. Exotic animals belong to particular ecosystems. We have the luxury of separating them from their homes and promoting animal abuse among other crimes with the aim of having only one pet "cute" in our home. What is your opinio...

BLOG 7: ANIMATED DISNEY/PIXAR CHARACTER

Actually I like Pixar / Disney but I'm also not a person who knows the entire franchise or its relevant dates as a studio / producer. I am simply struck by certain characters. I think his films have marked the imagination of many generations in the world that's why I appreciate and admire him. I think the character I like the most is stitch because he has a very beautiful friendship with lilo (they are the best friends in the Disney / Pixar universe and you know it). Originally Stitch was created to wreak havoc across the galaxy by being an amalgam of various alien races in order to create the ultimate weapon which featured bad temper and malicious behavior. She manages to escape the galactic guard and its fatal end due to her personality. He ends up reaching the ground where he is run over because the drivers confuse him with a dog in n the end he is taken to a kennel where lilo finds him and adopts him as his new pet. Stitch is great because he is the antihero character...

Postgraduate Studies

For me it is a future goal to study a university postgraduate that I look forward to completing, I think that the areas that attract me a lot are those that are related to the social nature, for example, Political Sciences, Sociology, Social or Community Psychology, Philosophy, Social Anthropology, History, Gender Studies, etc. I believe that traveling abroad is the best learning option for this type of study and a place of preference, and of excellence in this category, is France because it is a country with a democratic tradition, educational demand, social progressivism and a broad culture that encompasses all disciplines. I prefer to choose a course that allows me to attend the classes within the universities or institutes in person than one that is online because I consider that the best way to immerse yourself in the process of obtaining knowledge and learning a new language is total immersion in its culture and that is achieved by going to the knowledge-producing nations. I can...

My future Job

My future job? What a difficult question because life is so unpredictable! Even if you ask yourself there will never be a clear answer, I think that one can define certain ideas of "ideal jobs" throughout the student life. As I am currently studying a discipline in the social sciences, I wish to have a future job dedicated to the social area and its problematic problems. Social work has many challenges in contemporary capitalist society, therefore, it is not only challenging to study it but to exercise it, it is possible to exercise it in the “exterior-interior” sphere. that many times unite these 2 spaces, in this profession it is difficult not to unite praxis with theory. Yes, I love to travel the world, especially in countries where poverty and inequality are common patterns, Africa is a continent that needs urgent international support, we must also remember Central America, Central Asia, the Middle East and our own Latin America. The salary is always a complicated iss...

Books - The open veins of Latin America

The open veins of Latin America was a book that I really liked and that left me thinking for a long time. This beautiful book was written by Uruguayan Eduardo Galeano and published in 1971. This book, despite being quite long, has no main characters, it is actually a social novel that does not distinguish the people it describes. The book in about 400 pages covers the social, political, economic and cultural history of Latin America. From the brutal conquest and genocide committed against the native peoples to the appropriation of raw materials by foreign nations. As I said before, I really liked it because it is a beautiful, revealing, poetic book, written from and out of awareness of being Latin American. In addition, I read it when I was 15 years old so it became a very dear and remembered reading of my adolescence, an elementary reading to understand the immense and painful history that is written in this continent. I think Eduardo Galeano wrote this book as a novel rather than...

Recommended Movie

Considering the murder of George Floyd in the United States and the tension that implies, I recommend La Haine, a French film by director Mathieu Kassovitz from 1995 that portrays in 24 hours the result of 3 young French people of Arab, African and Jewish origin those who live and are victims of poverty, marginality and the least friendly face of French society, and this becomes visible when the murder of a young Arab occurs within his neighborhood in the midst of a social protest at the hands of violence Police and how to find a police weapon that was reported lost during the revolt will increase the sense of revenge against the police. La haine is a cult film that you should see once in your life, because it deeply questions you, allows you to think and achieve a deeply anthropological vision of what is happening in the poor neighborhoods of France and you could even pull the trigger yourself. The film is recorded in black and white (very beautiful) but especially the soundtra...
