Today the idea is to talk about the English classes in the university, give our opinion about the dynamics of the classes and talk about what we learned but I want to start talking about my experience with the English courses since my elementary school, in order of evidencing the deficit of English courses in my time. The first thing to consider regarding my knowledge of the English language is that. W hen I was studying in my primary school, my teacher of English was not good, the class is very bad and boring although her knowledge was basic thinking that she was an older woman from a rural school, who never took training course after graduating from a teacher. When I was to high school my knowledge of English was wrong, whereby I had to take private English lessons to level with my classmates. The first year in the high school I had a good teacher of English but the next years a new teacher arrived to school, graduated of the University del Mar and she was not a very good teac
Today we will talk about our educational experience at the university. I’m a sociology student and in these four years in the university my life has been reduced in knowledge, learning, personal growth, stress, insomnia, mental fatigue, etc. But I’m one of those people who believe that in this life the challenges make you grow and mature as a person, that when you fall, you stumble, or you run out, you cry for a while, you free yourself and then you get up and move on. Regarding the curriculum and the subjects I would like to see subjects with more contemporary themes, I believe that there are social and research issues in contingency related to this century and the past, which are not yet addressed in the faculty, many of the professors do not they update their knowledge in post of the new academic innovations, on the other hand, although I believe that the technological resources are satisfactory and the infrastructure has improved, but the teachers have not yet updated th
S ince the implementation of the transantiago in 2007, there  have been problems related to the service. The complains go from the passengers to the workers, these are related to the bad treatments, unfair labor contracts and to the prices of the service. The cost of the ticket is the second most expensive in Latin America, the cost of the ticket for the bus in Santiago is of 0,90 dollars and the cost fot the subway of 0,95 dollars, increasing to a dollar at pick hours. According to a poll, the service was qualified with a grade of 4,3 by the people from Santiago. This transportation service was seeking to solve problems present in many Latin-American countries. As a test it was implemented in the urban transportation system in Santiago. The government invested millions of dollars, and so far the biddings of the service mainly benefit private companies and their investors, instead of benefiting the drivers, the transportation users and the quality of life of santiaguinos,
I'm not sure specifically that I want that continue study after I finish my sociology degree. But sometime I think about study an degree as journalism, because I like the national and international contingency, the jouralistic investigation, the investigation in field, etc. Although this would mean pay for other degree, study 4 or 5 years, more, and I don't know if I can pay or start a new project. Furthermore,  this year I meat some Mexican students of doctorate in agronomy who have invited me to continue my studies of postgraduate in Mexico trough state scholarships from the Mexican government for students of foreigners, the idea is to link economic sociology with agricultural production. This idea I like to much because I’m interested in meat the farming experience in other countries. The true is that I’m really interested in the regional decentralization, the education, economic productions, and the social reality of the regional localities for know the problems and solve
Today I talk about I would like to work in the future. Actually I´m study Sociology but I’m not sure if at graduate I will star to working or I will do a master’s degree. I thought I could to work for the municipality in some department like education department, health department, etc. I´m really interested work for the local development to improve the quality of education system related to the kind of agricultural jobs. Another possibility is that I become in municipal councilor, municipal mayor or have a provincial government. I really like to help local development above all due to the situation in which the Maule region related to the unemployment, low agricultural productivity, among other bad conditions. I know it’s very likely that my future work is more office that outdoors, but I want involve the people of the community and work from the reality of the farm, producer, student, teachers, etc. Obviously I like have a good salary for, I don’t want to be rich but a salary
I don’t have a favorite social media networks but usually I use a lot the social media platforms like Whatsapp to communicate with my family, my fathers who live in Curicó, etc. Also I used Facebook and Instagram to watch funny videos or memes when I need laugh. I don’t publish a lot in the social media except when I want to share some special moment with my friends, family or a beautiful place, but this not happened frequently. I must say that I like watch videos or page about food for learn to new traditional and international cuisines above all confectionery recipes. Spotify is other social media platforms that I used and really like to. I think that Spotify simplified my life because I like listen music in my daily life, I listen music when I walk on the street, when I study, when I take a shower, when I do the toilet or I cook, when I travel in the bus or metro trains or when I’m sad. Before I sought music in illegal platforms and didn’t know specifically the music to search si
Most of the musical sows or concert that I’ve been to have been free or local festival. But the first and only concert that pay, I’ve gone was the 28 February 2013 when The Jonas Brother they came to Chile at the Movistar Arena for the last time. The Jonas Brother was the boy band that shape in 2006 whit the   disc “It’s about time” but this don’t have exit , the next year with the record company   Hollywood Record the recorded disc of name “Jonas Brothers” given that   in the year 2008 whit the song “Burning Up” they reached the fifth position in the Billboard hot 100. The boy band was integrated for three Brother of New Jersey: Joseph Jonas (Joe), Nicholas Jonas (Nick), and Kevin Jonas, also to sing; they acted, and play different musical instrument. I was saving money the after year to pay my ticket in first row, the cost this was $140.000 Chilean pesos. The day of the concert my father was whit me to Santiago from Curico, he stayed outside Movistar Arena. The concert was
I will like to go to Europe. But, it is difficult to choose to which country. I'm intersted in knowing about the culture that is why i will like to study there.  As a sociology, my main interested is to know new culture because it helps me to get to know new perspectives about social mattters. Besides, going to Europe, where Bourdieu was formed, would mean to be in the source of the postmodern sociologycal thinking. Also, I want to visit the building and streets given that it represents a very important part of history. Europe is a continet that has influenced Latinamerican culture; the arts, such as literature, paintings and music.  Mainly I will like to visit France, the Eiffel tower, the Louvre museum, the fRENCH vineyards, the Notre-Dam church, the Sein river,  and to go to study at La Sorbonne University in Paris or in some other university in Switzerland. Finally ,I will like go to Europe to eat pastas in Italy, icecream Venice, German saussagges.
In this last class, i would like to talk about “La casa de papel”, because is the first serie that finish, although there’s still one season left that release the next year. This serie was produce in España for channel Antena 3 and Netflix buy this serie for transmit around the world. La casa de papel is about robbery to the Casa de Papel in Madrid, where the robbers took the building with the purpose of creating money to then steal it. I liked very much this serie because the plot is very good, you don’t know what can happen in the next episode. I think that the story show more that the robbery, this show as the different personality of the people and the society, the mass media, the police, the persons in our house, etc. react in the presence of surprise event. Beside the professor, who is the creator of the plan and he’s not robber, he intelligently playing with the police, the mass media, hostage’s and the same robbery’s, with the purpose of execute correctly the plan.
Today I talk about a career-related website. You can find this website in: https://web.facebook.com/groups/461693343918333/ In this web site I can find books related to History in all its ambits, be it universal, Latin American, related to certain countries or specific historical processes. But I can also find documentaries related to historical topics, and other texts with sociological and anthropological perspective, of certain historical phenomena. This website is on facebook, it is a private facebook group where one becomes a member and can share with other bibliography of interest within the group "Historia en PDF". I like this website because being a facebook page facilitates the downloading of any content, it also facilitates the search of books that give diverse perspectives of historical analysis of various Latin American and European authors that often do not have much diffusion outside of your country of origin, also that those who share tex
Hello classmates! Today I will talk about three important women in sociology. They are considered the mothers of sociology: Harriet Martineau, Beatrice Potter Webb, and Marianne Weber. They broke the canon of difficult times for the feminine gender, trying to demonstrate social thoughts with brilliance. Harriet Martineau was born in 1802 and died in 1876. She was an economist and British writer, beginning to publish at the age of 19. Her most important work is “illustration of economy politics”. She identified herself with the current of thought of John Locke. Beatrice Potter Webb was born in 1858 and died in 1943. She was a sociologist and British  economist   influenced by Herbert Spencer, friend of her father. Working with her father she began to sympathize with the socialist thought, seeking to solve the problems of the working class. Along with her husbandshe published  “the history of syndicalism”  in 1894 . Years later, when traveling to de Soviet Union, she
My favorite piece of technology is the cellphone because among other uses it allows me to listen to music everywhere. I love listening to music. Since music players exist I remember having one, as listening audiocassettes, cds and downloading music; but when I was younger I thought it would be great to have an App in which I could listen to all the available music. I never had a defined taste on music, it depends on my mood the music that I want to listen to. When they created the spotify App, it was wonderful for me because spotify gives access to all kinds of music in the world. The only problem is that it if I am not a premium user one cannot reproduce the music as one would want, but randomly. So I used an illegal App to play the music as I liked, but they disabled this illegal App and when that happened I did not know what to do, since having music on my cell phone took a lot of memory in it. L uckily, a friend signed  me up for a family plan that includes me for only 1500
