Hi everyone! Today i will talk about my favorite subject in this semester.  As you know, I’m an anthropologist student, so i have many different subjects, especially in my first 2 years, because I’m in a basic cycle of anthropology. In this respect I have subjects like anthropology II, archaeology II, evolution, Social History of Chile and Sociology.  Choose just one is actually kind of difficult for me, everyone has something interesting… I’m between archaeology and sociology, but I think I'll stay with the last... Sociology! Although we usually think that sociology and anthropology, are the same thing ¡how wrong people are! This subject has taught me about the differences and similarities about this two careers… in classes, the teacher usually does expository classes, after that, we have discussions and debates about the subject, it’s very interesting because is a good instance to learn in a dynamic way. The main contents that we have seen in the semester are the...

Hi! Everyone, today i will talk about a career related website. As you know, I’m an anthropology student at the University of Chile, since 2017, so I’m quite new in this field but, I am very interested in this career. In this respect, there is a website that i discovered a couple of years ago, when i became interested in anthropology, the website is called “El antropólogo principiante” or ‘The beginner anthropologist’ in English. This is a very interesting blog; it belongs to a former student of anthropology from Spain, specifically from the UNED University (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia) in Madrid. The blog tells the experience of the author, Juan, after having studied 4 years of anthropology. He wrote about his experiences studying the career, also he explains why he left the career after 4 years!!!  OMG. But the most interesting part about the website, are the many sections that you can find, the author talks about different topics (very interesting cur...

Hello everyone! Today I will talk about a controversial and interesting topic ... Do you prefer to go to the past or to the future? Actually, it is a very difficult decision for me because, because i would like to go to both, but I think that for me, as an anthropologist or archaeologist in the future, it is very important to understand our past in order to project ourselves into the future, so i would definitely travel towards to the past. The very difficult question is to decide where I would like to go. I think an interesting place to go would definitely be the pre-Hispanic America, there would be the time necessary to understand it. How did they live? What did you do? Obviously, most of these questions are answered in different books or poems, etc., but I think that as an anthropologist being able to be with them would be really different, I could really understand their thoughts, their worldview and everything related to their lives... Maybe it would be a strong e...

Hi everyone! Today i will talk about a photograph that i like, i have a hard time choosing just one, because i like so many photographs, but there is a photograph that i really love, i thought of it immediately. This beautiful photo, was taken by me at a Blur's concert, my favorite band! It was taken in October 2015 in the Movistar Arena. At that time the band is playing one of my favorite songs "Beetlebum". If you don't know, Blur is a famous British band, icon of the "britpop" of the nineties. If you like to dance, melancholy, joy and a lot of emotions, Blur is for you <3 <3 For me it is a very important photograph because it crystallizes one of the best moments of my life, i had already attended two concerts of the band before, but i had never taken a photograph of them! I love the singer, Damon Albarn <3 and  i'm very happy because he will come again  with "Gorillaz" in 2018, so it will be a great opportunity to take many  pi...

Hi everyone! I hope you are very well, today I'll talk about one of my favorite movie in the world; "Into the wild". Into the wild its a movie from an adaptation of Jon Krakuer's book, with the same name. The film tells the story of a 20 year old graduate from college named Christopher McCandless, who, as an idealistic dreamer, in reaction against society and his parents, decide to give up his wealthy class and his family issues, so he decides sets out alone on a majestic and healthy journey across the USA, to explore the beauty and wonder of the world, followed, of course, with his inspiration source; his favorite books. After this little review (i really hope you can see the movie !!!, i'm only tell you the essential), i would like to tell you why this is my favorite movie; I really love the films based on true story and this is one of them! it's a very inspiring film, its represents freedom and makes you think about the society and how this may in...

Hi everyone! Today i’ll talk about my favourite piece of techonology, i hope you enjoy it.  As we know, in our daily lives, we use many technological devices, so making a decision about one of them, was very difficult to me,but i think the most important piece of technology to me is the cell-phone. I don't know if i'm a big fan of this device, but i really know the cell-phone is one of the most functional devices in our lives!!! (although many people says "it's very bad use the cell-phones because this creates distance in people's relationship" or some things like that). About it, i really think that everyone knows how to use their cell phone and  make this “a functional device ”, it’s depends on each one ... So, i'll tell you about my little "cell-phone history". I had my first cell-phone when i was 13 or something like that (i don´t really remember), since that time i always have a cell-phone with me. My present cell-phone is a lega...
