English

I think that to know English aid a lot in the life.  I know that when among to work is going to help me to unfold me a lot better and besides will permit me to agree know new texts, new authors, and new investigations that will help me a lot in my studies as the sociologist. Though the English helps a lot, is difficult to have a branch of English in the university because the academic load of the other branches does not permit that we learn well and we dedicate him all the necessary time.  Besides I believe that is very difficult to learn English thus and I believe that the only way to be able to learn well is going to a country of English speech or having courses of intensive English.

I think that the aspect that more have to improve in English is my vocabulary because is very scarce, I know very few words and they are forgot me other.  I think that I do not have so bad pronunciation, but as do not I know well how the words are pronounced, costs me to speak fluid in English.

Out of classes I don’t use a lot the English, only I use it to know what the songs of my favorite groups say. Also I use it to read some articles of sociology that are in English, but I ask aid to my friends to do it because I delay a lot and I do not have a lot of time to dedicate it to that.  

I know that should practice a lot more English to be able to improve, in fact does not cost me a lot to learn, but I have very bad memory and they are forgot me quickly the words that learn.

Studies and Job

Now I’m going to talk about the studies I’ve done in the University and  the job I would like to have in the future.

In the University I’ve studied things related with the relationship between space and social phenomena,  fir this reason I’ve taken a lot of classes that are about this subject, such as urban sociology and rural sociology. I like these subjects because I think that the space influences how the social problems are form, such as social exclusion, communication, and marginalization.

I would like to have a job related to this, like for example doing investigations in the field, to get to know places and its problems, so we could help the places to be better and its communities. I would really like to go and work at the south of Chile, because there are places that are not taking into consideration and they need a little help to make advances.

The aspects  to take into consideration to choose my job, would be the time that would occupy to do it because I’m comitted to other activities, that I pretend to keep doing in many years more, specially because it’s a job that I do with other people and I can’t leave them. Also I would considerate the quality of the human group that I would be working with, because its very important to have good partners in this type of job. And also that they are as committed as you are.

If they ask me on a jov interview, what are my strenghts and my weaknesses, i would say that i am able to analyze different problems with a critical eye. Also I can do a summary of stuff, I like alking to people and I also have a great commitment with my job and the people.

Discrimination

In Santiago there is a lot of discrimination, specially to the gay and Peruvians. This is so bad because they are teatred very badly, and excluded, also their civil rights are not respected. This is because there is no education that teaches to the respect others. In Chile there is a lot of racism and male chauvinism, and this has negative effects on family and social relationships.

In general, the people discriminate because he likes to make fun of other defects and has also learned to discriminate. But there are also people who discriminate by social class, and that’s the worst thing you can do in the world.

We need to develop a culture that teaches us to respect people who are different from us, regardless if they are female, male, gay or Peruvians. And this must be taught from an early, in the families, in the school, in the television, etc. The state should also take care of respect among people, because they can intervene in the school books to incorporate this kind of subject, and also have much money to invest in campaigns to reduce discrimination in Chile. We can change we mentality and habits, only we must strive in this, and spread it among our friends.

I never felt driscriminated, but I think that in this country a lot, because good quality education accessible only people who have a lot of money, and that I felt discriminated because my family is not rich, so I couldn’t go to school quality. This is something that needs to be changed in Chile.

How green are you?

The people learn about environmentally friendly practices mainly in the educational centers like a school s or the university, and through its families, but in Chile but in Chile there is no culture that take care of the environment, therefore is very difficult to have these practices.

 I have incorporated recycling into my habits. I recycling deodorant containers, the batteries, the newspaper, paper sheets that do not use, and the cardboard that do not use.

 I cannot utilize bicycle or your legs instead of a car to transfer me in the city because I live very far away, alive in Puente Alto, and I am obliged to utilize buses and the meter to go to the university or where I he want to go.

 Also I have joined to eco-organizations because I think that is very important for the society. I participated in an organic orchard. There we plant many vegetables to sustain themselves and learn to eat food without genetically modified.

 I would like to do my own organic orchard in the front yard of my house. I would like to harvest my own tomatoes, lettuce and carrots to be able to share them with my family.

 To reduce my carbon footprint I have not done much because I don’t know what can I do or where to go to help reduce my carbon footprint.

Our society loses much if we don’t take care of this issue, because the health of our future children will suffer if we don’t take care of.

Violence against women in India

Violence of gender in India becomes more brutal and frequent everyday. Although, everytime more women take the courage to reported. the 6th of this month, a 14 year old teenager was light on fire after being a victim of a group rape, and soon after of reprting the crime. She was taking to emergeny at the hospital, but she soon died because of the gravity of her wounds. The statistics on a national level indicate that the incident impact the whole country, but the worst part is that is a common case in India.

Sreelekha Nair, an investigator of the Studies Center for the development of women, said that according to the statictics in the period of 2007-2011, the violence that women from India suffered from their husbands is at the top of the list of gender violence cases with 99.135 reports last year.

the principal cause of mendieval mentality and patriarchal that is prominent in India. This leads men to deny women as an equal human being, independents and self-sufficient. Acoording to the investigators, the participation of women in public offices promotes politics sensitive to the gender violence. Also the victims feel more confident about reporting the violence if they know there women in power. 

Sociologists believe that gender violence could change by proving women with a better access to property, education, and job.

Urban Sociology

My favorite class is Urban Sociology. This class is a matter of the study from the city through the sociological analysis. He is studied how they gone changin the cities through the time and the differences that exist between the countries and to the interior of them. For example the industralization influenced in the change of the urban zones because there was migration from the field to the city that formed sectors of poverty. This change it produced problems of health, overcrowding, among others.

Is very important for my studies knows this type of dinamics because I study the society, and this serves me to be able to understand its changes, and how do they affect some factors in her. Also, is very important knows how the city functions to be able to apply public politics efficient and that manage to solve problems.

If I know these things, I will be able to take good decisions to the moment to be investigating any theme. This is very important in my profesional life beacuse we the sociologos work with and for the people, therefore we have a great responsibility and we should be very serious to the moment to work, trying to mistake us as little as possible. Also, this serves me because I will work in the city and I hop to be able to work in this matter because I love it.
