         “Stigma on women in the working World” In analyzing the wage gap in Chile over the past few years, there can be a big difference in paid work between men and women, and the woman gets a lower salary than men. It can be realized that men's wages have increased over time, as do women's, but it is still evident that there is a noticeable difference between the male and female wage, which despite a small decrease in the difference between salaries, there is still a significant wage gap. “The old forms of subordination or exclusion are reconsidered. They are fighting by denouncing the contradiction between the theoretical equality of rights and inequalities in fact. To these inequalities it would be better to call them injustices in order not to confuse justice with inequality "(Agacinski, 2000, p. 160) Since the author's statement, we can say that the wage gap is nothing more than a problem of justice that has harmed the female sex histori...

RADIO The object that I will expose in this essay is the radio, since for me it is one of the most important inventions, when talking about communication and connection to long distances thanks to the electromagnetic waves of the radio, because it is one of the technological devices that I use the most in my daily life, to listen to music at different recreational moments or to concentrate. The radio was invented in 1894, by the Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi who built the first complete wireless telegraphy system, using the wave theory that existed prior to the configuration of the device. It is evident that since the year in which this technological apparatus was created, it has presented a great evolution, which is constant. First the radio was used to communicate, but now it is given a character of entertainment, to listen to music on different stations, on CD, auxiliary, etc. Before the radio was a device of great magnitude, that is, it was very large and not very ligh...

Sustainable growth or sustainable development Why is it so important to generate awareness of sustainable growth? First of all, “sustainable growth is what takes into account economic growth with respect to nature and the subsistence of the next generations and, simultaneously, that serves social inclusion with equity criteria”. We must realize as a society that we are living in a world that offers us vital resources, which are limited and that as people in constant reproduction we must take care of the form of consumption and exploitation of nature in a capitalist world, that what is sought is the growth of capital and generate more and more production and consumption, taking into account that we are not the only species that inhabits this planet and that we are part of an entire ecosystem that also has basic needs that nature offers us. The accumulation of capital until now is more than enough to stall the overproduction and exploitation of nature and to keep the majority...

If it weren’t for this class, my English would not be where it is today. The blog especially helped me out. Although my English is nowhere near to perfection, it has come a really long way from before taking this course. The weakest part of my English is the speaking aspect. Recently a cousin of mine who only speaks English has come to Chile to visit. We are about the same age and I plan to apply my English to be able to communicate with her! This class is already proving to be beneficial to my everyday life and will most definitely help me in my future career as a professional.

What is your opinion about tattoos? My opinion about tattoos is positive, because I like too much and I have seven in my body. I think that are a reflection of my likes, speaking from my personal opinion. I think the tattoos shouldn’t be criticized and people who have tattoos should not fall victim of prejudice by society.  Although I know it’s hard, because unfortunately prejudices and stereotypes are part of the society, even when I got here to my house whit my first tattoo, when I was fifteen, my mom gave me a long talk moral whit the typical commentary “you won’t find job”, I remember exactly what finished the discussion with my mom, she told me «why you close up so many doors?”  And I said “maybe those doors I never wanted to open up”, so she understood then that was based its opinion social prejudice. What is your opinion about legalizing marijuana and abortion? My opinion about legalizing marijuana is in favor, but I know that Chile is very far from the legali...

It was too tough choose a person, because I remembered many people famous, but I chose option most impossible, the person who I chose it was Amy Winehouse, because I love his music and your story is interesting. In his songs expresses a lot of feelings and what I can say for his voice, is really awesome. When I read a little bit about the story of she, I realized that suffered much to love, same way she expresses in his songs. I find interesting that she’s part of "the club of the dead to the twenty-seven years". That group of artist that died at that age left a legacy of amazing music. I really appreciate that, but I regret that I can’t hear them in live, especially to her, Amy Winehouse. I would’ve loved to listen to her in a concert and have been able enjoy this incredible and only voice and the whole band as a whole. I love the soul that gives us. Amy Winehouse is and will always be on my artist favorite, although many of its fans complained after their concert, because...

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 mayb...

I would like to have a job worthy to me, that reflects my ideals in every work performance i do. Although it's very difficult to generate systematix changes without getting involved with the sistem. I feel that in the Chilean capitalist system that is established, I will never find a job that meets what i really want for my working life in the future. It's hard to imagine something in such society when you see all the obstacles that have been before. People in Chile believe that the capitalist system is believed to be essentialist, wich creates a notion of naturalization of reality, taking that in consideration it is very difficult ti change the course of things. In my life i would like to travel a lot, i don't like to define myself by the expectations about my work area because I'm  and i will be more than what i am studying or i'll be working in the future. Being still in the second year of Social Work, I still don't know what i want ti specialize jn, since al...

I don’t see TV shows, but I´m watching a series in Netflix, which is entitled “The Sinner”, this series it´s about a woman who stabs seven times to a stranger in the beach, she was whit her husband and son. Nobody understands why of the crime. All of this happens in seconds, so the first chapter catches your attention completely and I couldn´t take my see the series, because the following chapters reveal the past of the woman through an investigation of a detective that think there´s a background and think that she is innocent because she don´t know why killer that stranger man. But the elapse history and reveal the past of the protagonist we realize,  she knew him and unconsciously act like this, because she had repressed a dark past and the man that she killed had a lot of blame. I love this series because in all chapters is discovered something new, and I ended up to watch the series in very few days. The series is evidently of the crime and hold. the recommend always my friends...

I choose the concert of “Calle 13” without any doubt, because in all that time was my favorite band and shared the music with my friends. I remember all about that day. We arrived at 8 o´clock and we were at it till 17 o’clock, waiting to enter the “Santa Laura” stadium. It was my first concert and it was a memorable day. I laughed a lot with my friends, met many people waiting  for the concert. This was a Friday and we didn´t go to class and my mother didn´t know until I told the next day of the concert and she didn´t get mad with me. When the doors of the stadium were opened, we ran towards the scenario and stayed in first row. We were very happy. First was “Chico Trujillo” and it was very fun, we danced too much, although it was very crowded and people could hardly move, because of this a friend had to go to emergency area and we split until Manuel García started to play, a more relaxed artist. When “Calle 13” started, the first song in the concert was my favorite song, it was...

I would like to visit Italy and Spain, because these two countries I have always liked for the culture and ancient art, I would love to learn about the ancient world although I have never traveled, I think traveling would help me to learn more about the ancient culture. I would like to know the people and their traditions beside I would love to visit traditional places for example the Coliseum Romano, San Marcos cathedral, for the infrastructure, in Italy and Barrio Gothic for the ancient art and Teidic a volcano and observatory in Spain, I would like to study in Spain, because my mother tongue is Spanish and I wouldn´t be too lost in the city and in the university. In general I would like to travel for all ancient world, although these countries colonized America and stole many rich and for this grew faster and developed, I think I if I travel I can learn and share culture, ideas and art. I would try to take advantages the most to grow as a person.       Car...

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...
