Why did you choose this career/study programme?

Hello again!, in this blog i'm going to talk about my choice of study Social Work. 

As a child I always wanted to be an archaeologist and travel the world, then I wanted to study philosophy or history, but none of this convinced me. I felt like I would be sitting at a desk all my life reading and writing. And that's fine, but it wasn't for me.

While I was growing up I vegan to see all the injustices that existed in Chile. What happened in my commune, with the most humild and hard working people- I began to see the injustice in education, in health, what companies did to the earth and water. And I started to realize that I wanted to do something about it.

My grandmother was a Social Worker and seeing her example and everything she did for the community, I realized that I wanted to be like her. I wanted to study something that would give me the theorical and practical tools to better understand society and be ablet to help.

Beacause of this, is why I decided to study social work, I am very happy with my decision and I hope I can contribute to our society, even if it is just a grain of sand.





Social Work.

Do private schools offer higher quality education or are they just prestigious?

  Hello reader! and welcome back. In my opinion, this question is important, because it is something that has always affected our country. Chile, according to various studies, which include UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) studies, is considered one of the most unequal countries in all of Latin America and even the world, and this is largely due to the profound difference in quality that exists in national education.  In my opinion, there are certain elite schools that have world standards of education, schools that cost a lot of money and are only in the richest places in the country. These schools offer a comprehensive education that prepares you for the world of work and to face future problems. Although they are prestigious, the level of education they deliver is superior in comparison to municipal schools in poorer parts of our country. This creates a large cultural gap between those who studied in elite schools and those who studied in...

Religion

Good morning reader. In this blog I will talk about religion, a subject that doesn't interest me much in truth. I was born into a Roman Catholic Apostolic family, the "official" religion of Chile. When I was a child, like the teacher, I went to a Catholic school called San Lazaro de Lasalle, a concretion of French priests. And being honest, the only thing I learned was to read very well, and not because of the religion, but because of the school itself. I have always doubted the existence of the Catholic God, it seemed so strange to me that we in America venerate a god who walked through the Middle East, until I began to learn history and religion interested me again. and this why?  Because history taught me that each culture had its own religion and that Catholicism and Abrahamic religions were taught all over the world, by the great migrations and later by the Roman Empire.  It was here that I realized that many religions had patterns in common, a god who...

Is voting an important responsibility of a citizen?

 Is voting an important responsibility of a citizen? Good afternoon to everyone who reads this English Blog. In my opinion, the quality of citizen is quite important in today's society, since being a citizen of a country gives you different rights that the state has the obligation to fulfill. Such as the right to housing, to a quality education, to security and social well-being. Fundamental rights to develop fully.  But not only do citizens have rights, they also have duties. And one of them is Vote.  It is important since Chilean politics has changed a bit lately, but it is not the only way to do politics, it is only the official way. We can do politics day by day in our lives, each act can be political if a horizon of solidarity is sought for our society. And in Chile, it depends on each person if they vote or not, but I consider that it is important, but not the only way to demonstrate our citizens status.  Thank you very much for reading this...
