The excellence of a country is graded on the quality of their public education. The excellence grading in present day Chile is subpar at most. It is common knowledge that Chile, in the eyes of the world, is seen as an underdeveloped country. In light of the presidential elections that are right around the corner, each candidate has based their campaign on how they can play their part in making Chile a member of the developed country elite. This dream to many, is seen as far-fetched and hardly realistic. How is it that Chile can turn around its economic decline and lower its population of poverty- ridden citizens in four years or less? The answer is, it’s not possible… in four years or less. Obviously such drastic changes take action in a rippling effect; it takes some time before the water by the edge of the pond reacts to the stone thrown in. What Chile needs is total reform of the public education system, from the funding all the way to the duration of each class. Education is power,

Writing blogs for my English class this past year has been a great new experience for me. Although I must say that writing in english has always challenged me; these blogs have helped me to grow by expanding my english vocabulary and teaching me how to express myself more clearly in english. Being able to write about my opinions and share my knowledge on a subject, is quite an empowering feeling. In all honesty, these blogs have pushed me to realize my voice. By the end of blog project it became as though I looked forward to each assignment as they were given. Not only that, but reading the blog posts of my fellow peers has gotten me to see them in a different light and to have an appreciation for what they have to say. Caroline Carvajal

My favorite subject of this year was the unit on the Social History of Chile. Though I must admit that the choice on picking my favorite subject did not come lightly for it is that I have acquired quite a fondness for the career as a whole. In my opinion, this study of the Chilean Social History not only tackles important issues, but it also proves that the present moment is not just the here in now, but that the present is helped shaped by the decisions and events of the past. This is something that the modern-day social worker should keep in mind so that they can be part in creating a future with more social equality so that we can be able to generate opportunities in which we can start to identify ourselves as free individuals. Daniel Fauré, my professor on the subject, is someone who helped spark my interest on this topic. His skill and passion for teaching is something that all of his alumni greatly appreciate. Even though his exams may be long and strenuous, it’s not such a hard

One of my exponents favorite in areas of a job social rather philosophic is the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, was born on October 15, 1844, in Röcken bei Lützen, Germany. In his brilliant but relatively brief career, he published numerous major works of philosophy,  In the last decade of his life he suffered from insanity; he died on August 25, 1900. I chose it because its approach is very revolutionary, in many areas as politicians, social, religious, etc. And for this last was considered the antichrist, accusing of a false morality collective generating behaviour and social prejudice suppress our instinct animal, so, why the animal instinct it is important according to him, because considers that the conduct social and naturalized arise from social processes that suppress our soul, what it is supposed which is the only thing we belongs to us as individuals, enabling justified in branches philosophical and social that we as people we must strip us of morality and hold on to our own
