Public Policy: a approach to social reality

At the outset, I don't liked this part of sociology in reality, but in practice and support to counterpart, in this case "Fundación Juntos Contigo", that we were succesful understood, with my group, the use that have is very important to transform reality, especially in context of poverty and exclusion. In policy publics we have class about models of policys facts in the twentieth century, constructed principally in Europe and EEUU, also we have class or workshop about our investigations with the counterpart. While any person thinking (and me, in the beginning) this was going into too much boring and bureaucratic, to us it helped us to understand well how to address the problems they were living, in this case, the "target population" that was inmiscuida. Our counterpart "Together with You" helped and guided transgender children and adolescents who are in the process of assuming their gender or sex change, either psychologically or hormonally.

My first and favorite chilean pop

When I was entering full adolescence, when I was 14, I started to like two things that were very different from each other: on the one hand, assuming the typical masculinity of those times, I liked rock and metal; while, in turn, I was going to study at a public lyceum in the center, which led me to know different realities and love Javiera Mena's pop. About this last one I want to refer to in the following blog.  I really did not like pop much, much less the Chilean. However, as was always the influence of "The Prisoners", listening to Javiera Mena at first was not difficult, on the contrary, with time I liked more and more.  I had already begun to listen almost daily with classmates to her first album, called "Esquemas Juveniles". Although just that year 2010, she released her new album called "Mena".                                             From the...

This pic

This pic is a defocused pic, where is from? Beauchef 850. Yes, the faculty of engineering... and why use this pic for this blog? Because this pic contains a almost end of story. This pic was the last I took with a friend who is no longer, because unfortunately died this year in a accident in bicycle. Obviously, this pic assemble to much energy for me, because, besides of this tragedy, I took in him faculty, in a two weeks before what happened happened, and I'm very surprised that is out of focus, defocused, but with a lot of brightness. He was a good photographer, but curiosly that picture took it that way. I remember that after this pic , we went both to eat in Gorbea, near the faculty, in those places that sell very cheap "italianos" haha. Those good moments and times I think they will be hard to forget, and I really hope that they will not forget.

Shaki and Chita

I had two dogs. A call Shaki, and another called Chita.  Chita died since six months; she was around 15 years old. She was old enough to be a dog, and even more so to have been a “quiltra”. I had it since 3 months and obviously, I loved her very much.  Shaki also “quiltra”, on the other hand, is a young dog of 1 year and a half, with one dark eye and another very, very clear. Which makes it very playful and affectionate with our, my family. However, about a month ago, we had to move house and there we would not have much space for her, and so we decided it was better for her life, to stay with some former neighbors.  We go to see her every weekend and we bring her some nice things, and of course, we still love her a lot.

My headphones

Today I want to talk about the best investment I've made in recent months: my MPOW bluetooth headset.  They came out incredibly cheap (around US $ 37). I caught them one day on the Internet, and now they allow me to listen to my programs and music being around 10-15 meters away! In addition, they listen quite well, they have very deep bass, and they allow me to equalize the sound in 6 different ways, besides having hands-free. At least, I think that being able to listen to what you like in a good quality is one of the many acts of self-love that we can demonstrate. It ensures comfort and good sound. I wish we could always listen to music!

The sociology like a option

The decision of studying sociology was very accidental and influenced by the context, really. Like a typical student that have good grades in subsector considered “humanists” like language, history or philosophy, I thought in a career like Lawyer or Psychology, or last option in History or Philosophy. The sociology, when finished high school, was presented like an option in a context related with student movements in the 2011 and subsequent years. More forwards, when I started the program I joined in the political party of faculty and began to have other worries, aside of academics preoccupation of the sociology. However, I plan to work in any job that gives me the sociology. I like the public policy and study of work and education like a options that permit me delve into the society and Its enormous problematics.
