How to make the world a better place...

 Hi! Welcome to my blog.

Today I am going to talk about how my career can make this world a better place. Well, I really believe that sociology is a career that make you think, and question yourself about the status quo of society. It makes you see phenomenon like injustice and others social issues in a different way. Whit that skills, I want to be with people, I want to listen to them, knowing their reality, their way of seeing the world. I know this sounds a little hippie; I know it´s not a direct way to fight but is the way that makes me feel I´m doing something for the people.


I love my career, yes, but something that sociology has taught me is pessimism. It taught me that it is always something to fight for, because injustice, inequalities, racism, classism, are diseases that remain in our societies. 



Once, one of my professors said: “I don't know about you, but I don't find meaning in life”, that hit me so hard because it is an idea that is repeated in many sociologists. In that case, the only option we have is to fight for what we think is right, for our beliefs, for the people who need us. I want to specialize in education. I want to fight for that, for a new education. I really believe that education is the way to solve many social ills. And that's what I want to do to try to make this world a better place.

    Wow, I'm so agree with you, sometimes I feel a little bit overwhelmed about all the problems our society and the world we live have. I really like the way you decide to see it.

Someone I admire  Isabel Allende is a Chilean writer, internationally recognized for her work as a novelist. In 1967 she worked for the magazine Paula and in 2010 she won the National Prize for Literature here in Chile. One of his great works is the novel "La casa de los espíritus", born from a letter to his grandfather. This novel is very special to me. I remember the first time I read the book, savoring the phrases and going crazy with the plot. This novel has become a kind of emotional containment for me, I always return to it in difficult moments, especially because of the strong female characters that characterize the history. Isabel has a style that hypnotizes me, her magical realism gives meaning to this crazy life we living. I recently adopted a kitten and the first name I thought of was the name of one of the main characters in the novel, "Clara"

My Future...

Hi! welcome to my blog Once I graduated from sociology, I would like to specialize in the area of ​​ education. My both parents are teachers, so always have been interested in how education impacts the formation of individuals and society. Part of my goals is to study abroad, hopefully Europe, and then return to Latin America. I have even thought about living in Mexico, I love the culture there and it would be very interesting to do sociology in that country. I would also like to do a doctorate, study about gender and social relations. With all this about the pandemic, and that I already have the experience of online classes, it would also be interesting to do a distance course, especially on a topic related to other social sciences such as psychology or anthropology. Sincerely, I don't know exactly what is area I want to pursue, I just know that I want to continue studying as much as I can.

Since I was little, I always loved to study, I even remember that I used to play that I took classes at the university. And although I liked other things like dancing, my passion for reading and writing was much greater. And that´s how in high school I decided to study sociology, influence by the fact that my parents are teacher of humanities, so I grow up learning about history and social issues. I also considered studying anthropology, but when I had an elective class of social sciences and studied some of the authors, I fell in love whit sociology! Now that I am in second year of the career, I can say that I took the right decision. I feel so passionate about my class topics, especially the theorists! In the future I would like to specialize in sociology of education, and research about that topic in different countries.
