Post 7: The (imaginary) battle of sociology v/s pedagogy.

Imagen
It's funny because in post 5 I've talked about the possible changes in my studies. I think that, if I would change my study program, I'll be moving to study pedagogy. The experience of being a teacher and share the knowledge with the students, and permanently learning about them. The curriculum should be changed a lot, I've never seen the pedagogy curriculum but I think that will have a little in common with sociology. The career of pedagogy can be studied in the same campus that sociology, in JGM, specifically the Faculty of Philosophy and Humanities, and it has a big and new building that seems like a Mall haha. Also, I think that the fact of study pedagogy in lockdown, besides the fact of doing classes by the computer, could be a little difficult for me. But I have to say that the educational system in Chile is deplorable, the deal between the teachers and the schools, and between them and the Ministry or the municipality, is very inefficient. That fact makes me decl...

Post 6: To infinity and beyond

Imagen
I've always thought about the possibility of time travel to the future. The movies like "Back to the future" or the tv shows like The Jetsons made me have a lot of curiosity about this. If it could be possible, I will like to go to another place of the universe, something like another planet or timeline of the multiverse (wow). The thing is that if I will travel to the future, I don't know if I'll see my family or my friends, because time travel takes you out of the space-time that we inhabit. Also, your age should be changed by this fact, so, in that case, I wouldn't like to time travel. But, if those consequences don't exist, I will surely time travel to another galaxy in the future, maybe to know new civilizations and space stuff. The infinity of the universe gives us all the combinations that we can imagine, also the bad case that I will meet a civilization that sees humans like slaves or civilizations that their only propose is to destroy everything.....

Post 5: My future in Sociology... or not?

The fact that I'm studying sociology, makes me feel like my future job is in that way. But since I was in high school I wanted to be a teacher. My teachers were an inspiration for me, all the knowledge and the experience they had and their vocation, for me was admirable. Anyway, sociology won that place. Until now, I wish to become a school teacher I think, someday because I like the profession, but the system education is very disrespectful with the teachers. That's the only impediment, the teachers that I've met, not all of them but a lot from my school, say that public education is very sacrificed, in terms of time and money. At the moment, sociology is my route, and I wish I could keep studying and working on sociology, especially Sociology of Education. Maybe from that place, I could help to improve public education, with some investigations at least, and get close to the school. About the salary, I spect that I could get a good salary, not too much fancy but that coul...

Post 4: Free themed post - ACAB (All Cats Are Beautiful)

Imagen
Well, I've been thinking about the topic of this post and looking around inside my house, I've got the answer: Cats!. I'm a big fan of cats, a cat lover if you want to since I have memory. In the family photos of my childhood, I'm always beside a cat, in that time, called Kiña. We had 4 cats between 2000 and 2014, always one at once, until in July 2014 we went to adopt Antu, my cat brother haha. We've become very good partners and confidants, I remember all the mischief and bad things that he made, and the laughs go big. The last year, we heard a cat crying from the street, to our surprise, it was just outside my house, outside the door, it was a black kitten. After some discussions and negotiations, finally, the new cat became part of the family. When we get the cat to the veterinary, she told us that it was not a male cat, it was a female kitten. We've never had a female cat, so we were so excited and happy for this gift haha. At this time, Kuru is the queen o...

Post 3: Sociology as a combat sport

Imagen
  I remember when I was in my first year of sociology, in 2018, and the career showed us some welcome activities. We had forums, interactive activities and also we watched a documentary called "Sociology is a combat sport". In the documentary, the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu shares his point of view about the discipline and the researches that he made. Now, in 2021, I'm very excited about studying sociology, it's a little difficult for me but passing the years I've become a greater student than in my first year haha. All the knowledge that teachers gave us, their experience on research or their tricks to be a good researcher, that things make me feel great about studying sociology. I want to believe that studying sociology will give me the tools to make changes in society, I think that's the reason why I'm studying sociology. By the way, I'm not sure if the career will make me a change agent, after being almost 4 years here. Maybe the real changes will...

Post 2: One of the best concerts of my life.

Imagen
Back in the years, in 2010 I became a big fan of Green Day. At that moment, I was only 10 years old and I used to listen to them all day at school. In my family, my mother and my aunt also like Green Day, my aunt has a DVD called "Bullet in a Bible" from the band and we used to listen to it on weekends. My mother promised that she would take me to the next concert that Green Day will do in the country. Finally, in 2017, we went to the Bicentenario de la Florida Stadium on a saturday afternoon. I remember being very nervous, it was the first time that we will see them so close and listening to their songs live. When the band comes out, everybody is jumping and with my mother, we were moving around with the crowd, it was very funny, we were experiencing "cancha". The band played a lot of great songs, the newest and the oldest, with a lot of crazy moments and also emotional songs. In the end, I was very happy for making a dream come true.  I left you some photos of the...
