VI: Free topic about my career

 In this first year studying anthropology I learned a lot of different thing that we can do in our professional life. But the most important reflexion that I did is the ethical question around the implementation of the discipline.  Really, many people doesn't know anything about what an anthropologist do, so, in simple words, an anthropologist/archeologist is someone who has a very close interaction with some community or etnic group for study issues. This makes the relatioship between this two entities have some ethical things. For example, an anthropologist who goes to any community has to have differents responsable attitudes with the membes, because the cultural differences create differences in the behavior, wich are not bad, only that you have to be careful with the intervention you are thinking of carrying out. Likewise, an archeologist, who has mainly interaction with the fossil remains, has other ethical issues, like the respect with the remains of someone who was par...

  This photograph is very important to me. It has a lot of memories and  it reminds me of many good moments. To contextualizate, I am scout, so as you maybe know, we go to camps every year. We were approximately seventy people in total, but we divide into small groups according to age, and when we are smaller according to the gender too. In the photo we were mixted young between 15 and 20 years old. (no all of us in the photography, a few are missing)   This photo is January, 2017. That year we went to Choshuenco, It's a comunne in Los Rios region, wich is on the shore of the lake Panguipulli, It's a beautiful place, we bathed a lot on the lake beach, and everything around is very green, It has a lot of trees, plants and hills.  Specifically in this photograph we are in Panguipulli, we went there for the day, it's really important this photo to me, cause each camp it made us to know each other better, and therefor being more closer and good friends.  Today,...

IV: Free Topic

 In this free topic, I am going to write about a fomous comic, that I've been reading recently.  Mafalda, is an argentine comic strip written and drawn by "Quino", it start in 1964 to 1973. It is about a girl, who reflects the argentine middle class and progressive youth. It is considered a symbol in persuit of human and children's rights. It has a innocent but strong message, and it's constantly rebelling against the world bequeathed by adults.  It's very popular in all Latinamerica, but it's also recognized in countries like Spain, France, Greece and Italy. Has been translated into more than 30 leguages.  Personally, I considered Mafalda an important character of the sudamerican culture, it's a girl with a political opinion who uses the social satire as a commentary on real life issues. The cartoonist Joaquin Lavado, died on September 30th this year. 

My favourite piece of technology

  I'm not a fan of technology, but today with the pandemic it becomes in very important part of our lives. The object that I like most, is my music speaker, it's great because I can connect my phone to it by bluetooh and listen music louder. It was a gift from my parents at a year ago, since then that I use it daily, my favourite thing is listen music and enjoy all the sounds of the instruments, so a music speaker is great because I can listen music very loud, which I love.  The life it would be very boring and silence with out it, I couldn't do my homeworks, cause I can only concentrate when I am listening music, so not to listen the outside and the noise of my house and where I live, I put my music on the speaker and that way I can do my things peacefully. 

My choose

 When I was a child I liked a lot of things to do, I was very dreamer. But I always thought that I would going to be a teacher.  Finally when I grew up and I had to choose some real ideas of what I want to do with my life, my options was studying literature to be a lenguage teacher, to study law or anthropology. When I had to decide I choose anthropology because it's a career where you have to do a lot of different things and learn about everything about the human behavior, and that was the most important for me, to satisfied my desire of knowledge.  Until now, my experience in the university studying anthropology has been very interesting, I learn about all the things that an anthropologist can do in all the areas, and that is the most that I like  About what kind of job I would like to do, I don't know yet, but I hope something in archeology.
