POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

well I would like to study something related with social psychology because psychology has been the career that has been in my mind the hole time I have been in school. Unfortunately I didn’t got the minimum points to be admitted in the university of Chile so I decided to chose social work because, despite having the chance to go into other universities to study psychology, when I got to know the career it caught my attention for the first moment. I feel like I made a really good decision because, in addition of loving my career, I love this university. However, this semester, I had social psychology in one of my subjects and it really called my attention the approach that it has from social work, leaving aside the individualization and the psychology of the “subject”. All the processes of the society really call my attention and that’s why I would like to go deeper and learn more about the reason of the human behavior.
Despite that, I know that this idea could change in time and maybe in the future I could want to study something different because I’ve gone through vocational crises a couple of times. The reason of those crises is because sometimes I feel like I would like to study music or to take dj courses because I love music and most of the times it represents my moods, as same as social sciences.
Anyway, now I just want to finish these four years that I have left in college because I proposed to myself some goals in “short” terms.
Also, the idea of leaving chile to travel around the world motivates me a lot, to learn from new cultures and realities and to work in other places. To be honest, college is the only thing that is limiting me right now for been traveling, because I have to finish my studies and because I don’t have enough money to do it.

She is my first niece and her name is Julieta. Furthermore, she is two years old and she is my brother’s daughter. Although I do not see her too much, I am always asking about her and what is she doing because I really care about her. I took that picture when it was my sister´s birthday and we were celebrating it in my house. In the picture she is holding a blue teddy bear and she has it since she was born and she can´t be without it. Also she still uses her pacifier because it helps her to calm down. Other than that, her personality is really special because, in one hand, she has an imaginary friend and she calls him “cheche” with whom she talks all the time. In the other hand she has a speech desorder but still she is really intelligent. To close this idea, she is really important to me and I love her. Caroline Carvajal

 Can “good” people do bad things? - It’s something we all ponder from time to time; how is it that normal civilians are capable of Assisting in mass Genocides, wars and other unimaginable atrocities towards their own species? Take the Rwandan genocide for example, the numerous accounts taken from survivors of how their neighbours, the ones they used to have cook outs with, watch children and share stories,  were the same neighbours they ended up killing in cold blood with their own two hands. Is the line we used to think between good and evil not as impermeable as we once thought? If we were put into the same situation would we do the same as those survivors? As much as we would all like to reject the idea of doing something so horrendous, we might be wrong by doing so. Dehumanization... we all do it even if we don’t try to. It’s in part how the guards in the Standford Prision Experiment (run by Phil Zambardo), were capable of torturing and mistreating the prisoners in the experi
