Post 6: Postgraduate Studies

 Hi everyone In the future, I want to develop two things in my career: one is to improve my English, which is necessary in this globalized world, and especially in sociology. Second, I would like to get some king of masters degree. I don’t know if in Chile or somewhere else, even though I have some wishes, these don’t matter when it comes to real possibilities. . If I got the chance to study outside of Chile, I would definitely take it. However, I have to consider that it would be a problem to go to any non-Spanish speaking country, studying and living there would be hard if I’m not able to communicate with my surroundings. That’s why it’s very important to have a good English, and not only theoretically, but to be able to use it to speak to others and use it as a social trampoline and to get ahead in sociology. Many time, the Chilean State has wrong social policies when it comes to education. One of those is the segregation of the possibilities of learning a second language

Post 10: English Language Challenges

Hello everyone I personally believe that English, although it’s a challenge for me, is a good way to get tools. In that  sense, the blog is a good way to learn to write in English and express a thought in a coherent way. Because of that, I think the blog should be implemented earlier as a learning tool for English classes. I honestly think that the blog can reinforce every aspect of learning: writing, reading, listening. I admit to be a common Chilean with a ordinary knowledge of English. That´s why, after approving this class, I’d like to take an intensive English course somewhere I can dedicate more time to learning. It would be a good tool to acquire more social capital and possibilities of social mobility. Outside of English classes, I deal with the language mostly in movies (I’ve always liked watching them in the original language), TV shows, or the music that I listen to daily. These are things that I like and spend free time  on Bye!

Post 8: Winter Holidays

Hi everyone! When I think about winter vacation, I normally think about the cold, the rain, and gray weather, whether it’s one of those days when you have to go out and not come back until night, or one of those days when you decide to stay at home. Honestly, for me winter vacations mean sleeping until late and recover energy from the semester. It’s like a bear’s life. I don’t know what places I’ll visit yet, plus the time and the money are not much, so the will be vacations to rest. I think the only things I’ll do these two weeks is sit around and do things that I like, hopefully well accompanied, and then go back to work. Winter vacations are a good time to rest at home, compared to summer vacations. Especially for students who had a hard time with the semester, winter vacation can help recover some of that energy to keep going through the year. If I had some more money and time and the weather conditions were right, maybe I would go visit some of the foothills of Los Andes moun

Post 9: Changes to my Study Programme

Hy everyone! I think that in mi career of sociology, are not many thinks them reproach be to my study program. However, also I think that there could have others changes. Always I considered that should have known that I have problems with the quantitatives techniques, because the importance to study the sociology through the to two analytical perspectives: qualitative and quantitative. I think also that in the sociology, a fundamental element  in the discipline is try to manipulate a integral consciousness  about to the socials phenomenons. If I think in the future and him that I maked a living, the truth is that I dont known, but him that I can talk is that will be a work surrounded and influenced for others typical elements to this age, with for example the use of technology and the modifications that It generated in the structure of the work, above all the workload. However, all the modifications in the work are going happening in the majority of works, the sociology it is

Imagen
Hi everyone! In this opportunity I would to talk about my favorite TV Show. Really, I don´t have this answer, because are many TV show´s really good, It is comes from to the different areas in the world, even in Chile, where the quality to the nacional TV it´s very shameful.  However, I think that one of my favorite TV show´s is the El Chavo del Ocho, the mexican TV show, starred for Robero Gomez Bolaños (as  El Chavo), Ramon Valdez (Mr Ramon), Maria Antonieta de Las Nieves (as La Chilindrina), Edgar Vivar (Mr. Barriga), Florinda Meza (Ms. Florinda), Carlos Villagrán (as Kiko) among other actors really goods. The Chavo del Ocho is the history to the vagabond child that arrived to live in a neighborhood to Mexico, where He live in a barrel.  I like the Chavo del Ocho because It relate, from the innocent and really comical perspective to a children, and in particulary, to the poor chid, the history to this naughty boy and the rest to the residents of the neighborhood.

Post 5: My Future Job

Hello, everyone! I would to talk about my future job, where I expected that I liked. The degree that I study It call Sociology, and relating to It I feel that is a amazing major, for that I like. I imagined that in the future I can participe to maked studies it.  I would to work in outdoors, because I think that the gathering to socials phenomenons It needed the straight contact with the social context.  It would be amazing  if I could travel   as part of my future job and I can know the social reality to the other societies. In particular, I would like travel to Sudamérica, because It a diverse continent, with differents  cultural and social shades. The definition to Sociology It a bit complicated, even the people that they spended any years as sociologists don´t have  the answer, for that which is that I can talk to the Sociology is impartial and It can have to ideological bias. Basically, the Sociology it is a major that search to explain the "societies movements"

Someone I'd like to meet

Hey! What´s up In this opportunity I would to talk about one person thats for my is one to the Chilean journalist most lucid in the analysis to the internacional politic, and unfortunately in my opinion, overrider in the national journalistic scene. His name is Ruperto Concha, journalist to the Universidad de Chile, who is working actually in Radio Bio Bio, in the locution of the weekly radio program.  I considered that Ruperto Concha is one person whose talent is in his capacity to say a radial message that simultaneously is informative and funny, because He had a rich used to the language that go to filled the program radial (The  program last 30 minutes. ) of the irony and the sarcasm about the reality in the world and the events of natural different: armed conflicts, natural disaster and his consequence, political corruption, migration, etc. In definitely is a program radial that summarize the international news weekly through the clever viewpoint - totally social critical
