Evaluation of your Blogging Experience

I think that this part of the course was very  entertaining and I really learned, because we had to write about many things that I didn’t write before. So, I think that write blogs about casual things, and about our career was so interesting, and helped us to think in our tastes, and this posts will keep forever, so when we can, we will read, and it will be funny, I think so.

I feel that my writing skills improved after 9 blogs and other exercices, because we fixed our mistakes in class and we learned inmediatly. So, I really enjoyed writing and developed other skills that in my case, in the school I didn´t work it.

I think that this part of the course is fun,so I dont know if I would change or include something. But, thinking, I would change the exercice of London, and I would give more time to do it. Also, I would put other options when we have to choose the topical of the blog, more options to select. For example, I would like to write about my hobbies, or about literature or authors, about controversial news, or read an article and write about it in the next class, I don’t know, things like that.

The strangest dream you’ve had

I like to think about my dreams, because I like so much the “world” behind that concept.
All the mornings, when I wake up, I try to remember what I dreamed last night. But, when I go to sleep tired, most of the time I dont dream, and it´s sad.
So, it’s difficult to think in only one “strange dream”, but I remember specific one that I woke up very alarmed.
It was a long time ago, and I was in a lake, with my family I think. I was happy, and I go to the water, but when I was inside, I look down and I couldn’t saw my feets. This mades me feel very confused because its seemed a cloudy water , but no one felt that. I remember that feeling very bad, and is strange because I can't remember nothing else about the dream after feeling that.
I never spoke about it because when I searched the meaning, I can't found and I believe this dream was something bad, and I tried to forget it. But when I think in stranges dreams, I always remember this dream and other one that I lived a tsunami.
So, I think my dreams related with water always will be strange and dangerous, I don’t remember to dream with calm water.

A Subject you've enjoyed studying this semester

This semester I have six subjects, and I don’t really like all of it, like the first semester. But, I have to accept that I like “Historia Social de Chile”. This subject is very interesting because the teacher knows a lot of Chilean history, and its makes that we want search more information about it, and participate in class.

This subject is related with the forget history about the people of Chile, and how they built their own story. Also, we have to investigate and write of many groups of people that create the Chilean society, and know all the obstacles that they had to past for living and survive.

Now, we are investigate about indigenous people and the stigmatization, the repression, the discrimination, among others troubles that they have to deal. It’s a topical issue because this last month, we have seen the repression on mapuche’s people, and all militarized area.

Also, I like History since I was in school, and always I want to know more about our past and our origins, because this let explain things that affect to our society in the present.

Carrer-Related Website

 This is a magazine related with my career, Social Work. In the website, you can find a lot of articles about  specific topic, the functionalist approach.
This year, in one subject, we have to pick up an approach and learn about it, for finally expose. So, I have to read all week this website, to find more information and articles related with the approach. 
I didn’t really like this issue, but we didn’t have more options, because all the others was chosen. But now, that I read a lot of texts and books, I feel more connected with the point of view to the authors. 
In the website, you can find some sections to download the articles (in pdf), and others sections to authors and academics, who can publish, as long as abide by the condictions defined by the magazine. 
We realised that one of the magazine’s editor, Hugo Cadenas, is our teacher of Teoría Sociológica, a subject that we have this semester, and it will very interesting asking him about this project, and how he became part of this group of academics.
