For most of the people, facebook is a platform for fun. For me is not just that, facebook is also a space of organization. It sound weird, but it allow me a fast contact to many people, that’s makes easier the communication and the organization. When you are in an organization (whatever about) facebook is a fabulous way to show yours ideas, contact other people, etc. It allow you to be informed too. You can read news, articles, opinion and a lot more.

So, I also use facebook for fun, like everyone. Is a perfect way to communicate with friends, especially if they are in other cities or countries. You can learn more about their life and about what they do. Facebook allow you to connect with people with the same pleasures, read different things, play games and listen music. Is a big platform that allow you everything.

My problem with facebook is that your privacy is not safe. Anyone can see your information and photos (still you change the privacy configuration). Much of the time there is not filter, and you can see photos of you that you don’t want on the web, but you cannot erase it because somebody else upload it.

Other thing that I don’t like about facebook is that is so much addictive. You waste time looking “the news” and left others thing without do. Much of the time I have to study but I lost my time on facebook, doing nothing! But I been trying to not open my computer on the week, so I don’t distract me on facebook.  


Hello everyone! Today I’m going to talk about the environmental care. This refers about how we change our practice to take more care about the environment and try to reduce the contamination. There are the three Rs: recycling, reducing and reuse, which are the principal action for the common people to help.

 Here in Chile, there’s not much information about this topic. Maybe in some school they teach about it, but the most of the people doesn’t know much about. But there are always some organizations that try to change these and show the people what they can do for improving the environment.

Of my part, I always try to recycle paper, battles, tin and other things. The problem is that there is not much places that helps you in this job. Also, I try to not use car, I like walking to the places that I want to go. Other thing that I do, is try to reduce my water consume, taking shorter showers.


I think that the principal problem in Santiago (and in all the country), is that the authorities doesn’t take care about this topic, so there is no law that make us change our habits (unfortunately we don’t change for our own initiative). Also, the industry won’t change their ways of production if the authorities don’t put pressure on they.

Hello classmates and teacher! Today I’m going to talk about what I want to do in my future when I finish my career. Normally, the people who study sociology knows the workplace of a sociologist and knows what they want to do with their job title. That is not my case. When I started study sociology, I really didn’t know anything about the jobs related to the career. I decided study sociology because I like the idea of “study the society”, but at that time, my knowing about the career wasn’t much. Now I have a better idea of what is the job of a sociologist and I realise that my place in this area are the research and the projects. I hate de idea of being working in an office, I want to travel to different places and make projects that improve the quality of life of the people. I have a teacher that always told us the jobs that he made when he ended the career. He told that he travel to the all country visiting different cities and towns and working with the people of that places. I want to do something similar, I really like the idea of work with the people who needs of you and prepare projects together.

Hello everybody! Today I’m going to talk about my favourite authors and books. Since I remember, reading was one of my hobbies. When I was little, I read the entire Harry Potter saga. But now that kind of literature is not more of my interest. When I started growing my interest change and I started reading other kind of novels. I don’t know how to describe this type of literature, but the stories have another sense, something more philosophical and transcendental. This is the kind of books that I like. One of my favourite author is Herman Hesse, he is a German writer that wrote novels and poetry. My favourite titles of Hesse are “The Steppenwolf” and “Demian”. This two books really change my way of understanding life.  Other author that I really like is Julio Cortázar, he was an Argentine writer who have a lot of poems, stories and novels. His masterpiece is “Rayuela” and is one of my favourites. You really feel the emotion of Horacio (the principal character) like you were he. Other thing that I like from “Rayuela” is that you can read it in disorder, it doesn’t matter the order of the subtitle.  Other Costázar’s title that I like is “Bestario”, an anthology of a few of his stories. I like the surrealism of this stories.

"El Abrazo"

Hello everybody! Today I’m going to write about the best concert I’ve ever attended. This concert was called “El Abrazo” and was at December 11 in 2010 in the “Parque O’higgins”. This name came from the hug between O’higgins and San Martin when they won the Maipu’s battle, as a metaphor of a concert with Chileans and Argentinians artist in the year of the bicentennial of the independences of both countries. In this event, a lot of artists were on stage during the all day. My favourites artist there were Spinetta, Fito Páez, Los Tres, Charly García and Andrés Calamaro, but there were on stage a lot of other artist that I like too.  I gone there with a lot of friends and we have a lot of fun. The atmosphere there was perfect to enjoy the concert, because there were a lot of people like us enjoying the concert. We were in front of a big screen and see all very good. It takes the all day, so when it ended, we were so tired. I remember, I came home at 3:00, directly to bed.

Hello everybody! Today I`m going to talk about an article related of my career. This article is not an academic article, is more like a new, but it is related with two things that I really like: Sociology and Football. The name of this article is “Costa Rica invite sociologist into dressing room” and is refer about the sociologist that work in the coaching staff of the Costa Rica’s football team. Here, you can notice the job of Jaime Perozzo (the sociologist) in this football team and realise the importance that he have in the teamwork. He improves the collective game and make feedbacks after every game, that make a strongest team.

I really like this article because it show how can the sociologist use they knowledge to help the development of the sports, especially the football play, that is my favourite sport. You can always see how the social aspects of the daily life are reflected in the match, and you can use that to strengthen the collective game.

Here is the link of the article:

Hi everybody! Today I'm going to talk about the places that I want to visit in my life.

First, I want to travel around all this country and know every corner of the land. I only know the north of Chile, but nothing of the south. Chile has a lot of interesting and beautiful landscapes and we didn’t take advantage of them. Personally, more than get to the traditional tourist places, I want to know the common places of every city, this places where go the people who live there and realize their life there. I want to be part of the common life of the city, not be a tourist.

Other place that I want to visit is not only a country, is a little more ambition. I want to travel around all Latin America. This continent has a lot of culture and fantastical places. Fortunately, I know part of it, but I stay in every country only a few days. I want to visit every latin country and stay there enough time for been part of the native people.


Hope I can realize my ambitions, is hard, but not impossible.
