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 got to know soviet socialism, then Webb published “Soviet communist: ¿A new civilization?” in 1937.

Marianne Weber was born in 1860 and died in 1954. She was a German sociologist and a feminist activist . Her husband was Max Weber, with whom she published the work “economy and society”. She was one of the first women tp have a PhD, her work focused on the problems related to women, getting to write “authority and autonomy in the matrimony”.

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...

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...

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 santiagui...
