Las Cruces

I think that a good place for post-bicentenario is a beach. Specifically, I enjoyed Las Cruces, a beach localized in the central littoral. I believe that great place because is calm and interesting beach. There you can rest, get drunk, talk with your friend, and swim in the sea or anything’s activities.

Despite that in Las Cruces during the year (not summer), is a place very calm and solitary. You can enjoy much in this place. You can run for the beach in the morning, walk and know Nicanor Parra house, fish and recollected seafood, swim in the sea (but is a very dangerous beach, therefore you must have precaution) in the afternoon. And in the night, you can make parties, drunk with your friends, or simpleminded to talk around of a bonfire.

I visit Las Cruces all the summers, because my family have house in this place. Besides, occasionally I visit this beach in the rest of year. Though I can fed up sometimes, I like very much. I recommend this place for to visit in after this long weekend. You not repent.

Bicentenary!!

I think that the bicentenary has two senses.

On one hand, the bicentenary is an excuse to the politics for being legitimized for the citizens or “the people”.

The unit, the nation, O’higgins, Carrera … are the words that permitted to create the myth of the bicentenary.

But, on the other hand, the bicentenary represents two hundred years of history, people’s history.

I believe that the history is not exclusively the histories of the heroes, the politics and militarist.

In my mind the real history is the history of the Chilean people; workers, women, peasant, poor people, students, miners, fishermen, etc.

Because of it, my interest is to celebrated this two hundred years of history as I understand it, and not the other myth.

So, in these national holidays I would like to go to a lot of parties and barbecues. I will like to eat and drink very much during this four days.

In addition, I want to dance in very more parties. Preferentially I would like to dance the Cueca brava, cumbia, “tropikobailable” music, regueton, etc. I am sure that I will enjoy this celebration!

Education, education, education...

Education, education, education… it is an old issues in chilean society. The Chilean society is the most inequality society around the world and his education system too.

But, why education system reproduces the social inequality? Because exists structural conditions that hold up equality of

opportunities to poor people and riches. The rich people can pay

quality of education, but the poor people can´t pay to decent education. Then the rich people have a good profession and good job, and they continue being favoured. However, the poor people don’t to go to university and have bad education and bad jobs, and they continue being the losers.

So, what is the role of the State in education? I think that the State it has to provide the right to education for everybody. Therefore, the State has to provide a quality public education for the people that can’t pay. Consequently, the State should take care of it and developed the state universities. In addition, the state universities should are free with equality access.

Besides, the Piñera’s government thinks privatisation will impose in our state university system. But, the privatized education system not is a solution at the big problem; on the contrary, these reforms were deteriorating more the inequality system.

I would like to visit France, Russia, Brazil and Buenos Aires

I would like to visit many countries. For example, I would like to visit France, Russia, Brazil and Buenos Aires.

Firstly, I would like to visit France because is a very interesting country. France is an important part of culture’s history, polity’s history, science’s history and in general of the western thought’s history.

In addition, it is a country with a beautiful architecture and has a lot of important buildings and museums.

Secondly, Russia is a fundamental country of the twenty century’s history, since the October’s revolution to Perestroika. Besides Russia has a culture and architecture very interesting. In there I would like to visit the Kremlin and the Red Square in Moscow.

In third place, Brazil is a country very happy and funny. I would like to visit Brazil only for going to the parties and carnivals. I would like to go to beach and drink exotic drinks.

And finally, I would like very much to visit Buenos Aires because is the most beautiful capital city in “Latinoamerica”. I love his streets and buildings. Besides, I like the Tango, to dance and to listen.

My First Term

Hi, it is my blog. Welcome to new followers.

My first term was interesting. In first time, in generally I had good califications in my subjects. But I had a problem with Statistics IV; I failed in the second time this subjects. It is a very bad problem, but I very optimist.

In my personal life has occurred some good things, but also bad things. Finally I though that I am very comfortably with my life actually, and I'm a really happy person.

In this second term, I have very many academic activities, but I am motivated. For example, I participate in “Anuario de Investigación Estudiantil” (students research yearbook), Assistantship of Sociology of the organizations, elective in Anthropology, and my workshop of research.

Finally, I hope that this semester is very good in comparation with the others.

My blog's experience

I enjoyed write in my blog. Basically, because I enjoy writing about interesting topics or garbage… Previously, I had a blog called “Vagas divagaciones vagas”. In this blog, I write my thoughts and reflections about experience in the world. Also, a friend and I created other blog called “No estamos ebrios”. This project blog consist in write anything topics but no seriously, in other words, we write idiot things. Finally, the project no functioned.
In my blog to english class, I wrote about my favorite music, the best place to go on winter holydays, Pierre Bourdieu, my hobbies, my experience in the earthquake, my favorite piece of technology, etc. I learned, in relative grades, to write and read in English. This blog helped me for to improve my terribly English.
I think that blogging is a good experience in general and for me. Basically because it permits writing and reading in English regularly. The interaction in English allows developing competences and dispositions respect to the English language. Therefore is a very good tools for the learning English.

The best place for to go on winter holidays

I think that the best place for to go on winter holidays is south of Chile, specifically 10th region. The 10th region of Chile has beautiful places, great towns and cities, and good people. Chile is localized in south of Latin-American, and limit with Argentina, Bolivia and Peru. The 10th region is called “De los Lagos”, and is between “De los Rios” and “Aysen del general Carlos Ibañez del Campo” regions. The principal cities and towns of the 10th regions is Osorno, Puerto Montt, Puerto Varas, Frutillar, Puerto Octay, Ensenada, Angelmo, Castro, Ancud between others.
I went to the 10 region some years ago. I visited a small town called “Río Negro”. But I also went to others places, for example the “Llanquihue” and “De todos los santos” lakes, Osorno and Puerto Montt. etc.
Specifically, my favorite place in 10 th region is “Llanquihue” lake. This lake is the biggest in Chile. This lake has very beautiful landscapes, for example, Frutillar, Puerto Varas, the Osorno volcano, and “Los saltos del Petrohue”.
I think back go to the 10th region, but in this opportunity I want to go Chiloe in specific. Friends and no friends tell me that Chiloe is a great and beautiful place for to go holidays, and I want corroborate in next year. But I not want visited only Chiloe, I went more places and enjoy with my friends.
In generally, I like the south of Chile. I think that north of Chile is very boring and ugly. I traveled to Copiapo three years ago. And, I corroborated that is a bad place for to go on winter holidays.
