The topic of this blog is books. I haven't read literature for a long time for pleasure, because the university has saturated me with academic texts that don't leave me time, so I will write about a book I read when I went to school, that many probably know and have read

 The Animal Farm is a fiction book written by George Orwell. It tells the story of a farm in which the animals based on the ideals of a pig called the "old elder", rebel against the humans who manage it, expelling them and creating a new system of government managed by pigs, based on seven laws.

 In this new system, two pigs named Snowball and Napoleon have power disputes, which ultimately lead to the government failing and ending up becoming a tyranny.

 I like this book a lot, because although the author makes a clear reference to the history of the Soviet Union, it can be extended to any context, which is very educational because it makes it very easy to understand the idea of ​​corruption by means of acquiring power, in addition to being very entertaining.

 If you haven't read it, read it, and if you don't want to read a book, the book has a film adapatation

Today's topic is to write about graduate studies. Personally, I am not very enthusiastic about the idea of ​​ continuing to study immediately after finishing my degree and I am not completely determined to do a master's degree,  although I have considered it because there are different subjects that attract my attention and I would like to deepen them. But the idea of ​​ continuing to study at the university or in an academic system like that terrifies me a little, because I feel like most of my life has gone away at school and university in addition to work. If I decide to continue my studies after university I would like to specialize in issues of sexuality, affectivity and gender, I have researched a little about where to carry out these studies and I know that in Chile there are small accessible graduates from different schools, this is an idea that I really like it, because being short would allow me to rest from my studies for a moment and work without so many worr...

Personal opinions

Violence on television.  I consider that showing it isn't exactly an evil in itself, I don't believe in the argument that seeing it encourages you to be a violent person. Because I think this is rather a reflection of what you see in everyday life, the problem is as shown, what are the warnings and age restrictions,  what type of people are seeing this and what is the criticism or reflection that you can give to these television contents. Tattoos.  I love tattoos and I don't have much to say about it, I consider that people can adorn their bodies as they want. I also think that it isn't necessary to give a specific meaning to what you have in your body, personally the only thing I consider when getting a tattoo is if I would like this in a longer time since it lasts forever and it must be lazy to erase one. I think that older people give a lot of importance to these issues and only discriminate by stereotypes that aren't longer valid now Recycling.   ...

Changes to my study programme

As I wrote in other posts, I study sociology. Before entering the race, the mesh was changed, so I am part of the first generation with the new sociology mesh. Although there were some changes in the fields, I think that basically the career remains the same, the university trains us much more to be academic and theoretical than to work in a more practical sense. Most of the subjects I have are from sociological theory (which I really like), history, quantitative and qualitative research methodologies, statistics, and very little about economics and public politics. The degree lasts 5 years, which is normal in most Chilean universities, however I consider that the academic burden is very heavy due to the number of courses that must be taken each semester, although in the third year we can take courses electives (which is good because it gives us the opportunity to study what we like) there are subjects of the mesh that can be compressed and eliminated prioritizing the most importan...
