Post 8 >> A Subject you've enjoyed Studying this Semester: Sociology



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 history and origins of sociological knowledge; we have start talking about Durkheim, Spencer, Luhmann, and others, trying to understand the vision of society of each of them… after we talk about Marx and Weber, this is very interesting.
I didn’t go to the last classes, I missed the most interesting authors (like Foucault and Goffman), but I will certainly continue reading about sociologists on my own. 
I really like this subject, because it is very useful to understand our career, the authors are very interesting and you can see society from another perspective!!!

XOXO.

    Sociology it's was a good subject to introduction on the social science. Yet you could go to the last class about Foulcault! :3

Why did i choose my Career? (Anthropology)

Image
Hi again ! Today, i'm going to write about why i decided study anthropology. This decision wasn't very easy, especially, because when i was a child i liked many different things! (like every child, i suppose). I really dreamed about studying obstetrics and helping mothers in their pregnancies, especially i wanted to help poor mothers.  But when i grew up, i realized that medicine   was not my thing -hahah-, because i discovered the wonderful world of “History”, along with this,  my first approach to anthropology  (i saw a documentary about some tribe and the work of some anthropologists). Since that time (at 13 years old), i researched about anthropology and i decided that, someday, i would be an anthropologist! So... why anthropology? This career was my only option at the moment to applying to universitiy, i was very decided! I choose this career, because, i’m a big fan of social science and i believe that anthropology is the most transvers...

Post 9 >> English Language Challenges

Hi everyone! Today I will probably write the last post of this year, so today I would like to tell you about my experience doing blogs to learn and improve my English at university. First of all, I would like to say that I thought  the experience of learning English in the university as something boring and theoretical, as in school, but I must say that I was completely wrong!.  Although I didn’t practice my English for a long time, the classes and the teacher have been totally interesting and fun, making my first experience in English at university much better. About using blogs, this has seemed very good to me, because I had never occupied this tool, much less writing in English. It has been very helpful for me, to practice and complement my way of writing in English it has also helped me to expand my vocabulary.  The only bad thing about this is that we can’t get feedback about what we write, sometimes I don’t know if I’m conjugating well or if i'm usi...

Post 7 >> Career Related Website

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...
