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 facilities are mostly acceptable (we have toilet paper in the bathrooms) but in the same way, the money that is personally invested in the fees does not correspond to the "service" that is provided in return. I think the use of technology is fine and they are always implementing new technologies in the corresponding spaces.

 University teaching difficult to describe ... Mainly very academic and I believe that the absence of a concrete practice of this knowledge does not allow us to motivate our study spaces.

    I think very similar in terms of academic load and learning and I find it worrying that social work has a very academic teaching without much practice

    I also don't like that the race is so academic and little practice.

    I agree that the amount of readings not always help us learn. And I didn't know that in Europe it was only 3 years, it would be great if it was like that here

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...

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...
