How can your major make the world a better place?

Imagen
 Hi! This time I'm going to talk about how I think I can use my major to make the world a better place... Some years ago I felt that many things that were implemented were not helpful to people, these things did not really make people's lives better. So when I heard about the sociology degree I felt that studying it I could help to make the world a better place. Why? because I noticed that with sociology I could understand people or society better, and therefore know better their needs. Also, with this major I could get the tools to know how to do it.  Nowadays, studying sociology, I know that a concrete way to do that is, for example, to help in the creation of  public policies, doing research for institutions that can apply that knowledge in the society, participating in organizations, etc. Well, that how and why I think I can use my major, sociology, to make the world a better place :) 

Blog 6- Post graduate studies

 Hi! Today i'm goint to talk  about my academic dreams and hopes... Honestly, I'm not sure what i'm gointo to do my academic future. However, i have thought about it but not specifically what course. I know i would like a master's degree, because it will help me in the labor field and it can make it easier  to find a job. Also the subjects i would like to study are something related to education or gender theory. Sometimes i think i would like to study abroad, maybe in England, if so i would not like to study by distance learning, because i want to know the country, its culture and customs. However, i would like to study in Chile too, it could be by blended system.

Post 5- Write about an artist or celebrity you admire

 Hello! Today i'm going to talk about an artist that i admire... His name is Declan Mckenna, he is a british songwriter and singer, he is 22 years old and his musical genres are mainly indie rock, indie pop and alt-rock. He began his career as singer in 2014, and nowadays he has released 2 albums: "whats do you think about the car?" and "Zeros". I like him for his musical style and lyrics, i think his lyrics are interesting because usually his lyrics are about social criticism, like his song called "Paracetamol" where he talks about pathologization of trans people, and his song "bethlehem" where he criticizes christian churches. And obviously i enjoy his songs a lot because of the rhythm. 

Post 4- A photograph and its story

 Hi! Today i'm going to talk about the story of this photograph: This photograph was taken by me in my first concert. It shows the Harry Styles's concert in Chile on may 25th,2018. What i like about this photograph is that it makes me remember the emotion of the moment, everyone was singing and screming. Besides, i like the fact that it was taken at the moment when everyone turned on their cell phones lights with different colors. Also, another reason why i like this photograph is that it makes me look back the good moments with one of my friends and my cousin during the concert.

  Hi! I'm going to talk about my favorite piece of technology: The smartphone...📱 I think i got my first smartphone when i was 11 years old, i still  have it in a drawer. Currently, i have a better smartphone, i like it because i can do a lot of things with it, such as taking pictures, watching videos, chatting with my friends, making video calls or just phone calls, searching things on google, reading, even watching online classes, etc. Besides, i think it has the ideal size to transport it easily. I think i use my smartphone for about 5 hours a day. Nowadays, i think it would be difficult not to have a smartphone because we do most things through the internet and the smartphone can help us to access the internet. Also, because the pandemic the smartphone is important to communicate with friends and family.

Why did i choose this career?

 Hi! Today i'm going to tell you why i chose to study sociology... First of all, as a child i wanted to be hairdresser but when i got older i started read a lot, then i got interested in careers like Law and sociology. When i was in my first year of high school i thought that i would like to study foreing trade engineering, however the numbers are not my thing. So in second grade of high school i got interested in sociology again, and during the summer holidays I decided to attend a sociology summer course  at the university of Chile (the program is called EDV) There i realized that i wanted study sociology because i learned more about it and many things were very interesting to me. Sociology summer course, 2018 When i applied to university, i only applied to sociology and fortunately I was accepted in my first choice. The experience at the university has been different from what i expected, mainly because the classes are online. Sometimes it is a little stresseful but i like ...
