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.

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...
