About my career

Hi everyone! 
This week I talk about why I chose this career (the sociology). 

Well... in the secondary education, my options turning around to dedicate to engineering, specifically: industrial engineering. I spend a lot of time with this idea, despite of not having a very crear idea of what it consisted about... serious mistake. 

Later, and with the PSU test on my back, I realized that this option was not for me. In this moment, I discovered that mine was really the humanities, because I liked everything about it. 

I started thinking about my options, and I went from anthropology, then political science and even law, reaching sociology, my true calling. 

Why did I chose this career? Because, unlike other disciplines, this discipline the study many diferent topics and about all this topics, I can study your origins, your relations and why certain things happen. 

During this years, I have covered many different topics: gender relations, education, crip theory, collective action in neighborhood organizations, the rish. However, my interests have let to my thesis today being a mixture of: climates of opinion, social networks, influence of tradicional media and White Collar Crimes (yes! these crimes also happen in Chile: do you remember the SQM case? Corpesca? False ballots? Caval Case?)

Oh! I forgot something, White Collar Crimes are all those that: 

"Crimes committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation" (Sutherland, 1949, p.65).  

With this, Sutherland raised the thesis that people of high economic class participated in criminal behaviour, and therefore were treated by justice differently.  

 I'm very excited with everything I have researched, all these issues among the new information technologies, communication and White Collar Crimes I think are very relevant to what happens today in Chile. 

Well, That's all.

MOVIES

Uf! There are so many movies that I consider incredible ... I do not know where to start. The Fight Club, The X-MEN movies, The Harry Potter saga ... I know! I would like to talk about Mamma mia, who premiered her second part a short time ago and that I liked a lot, I enjoyed it a lot in the cinema :D

Mamma Mia is a musical that tells the story of a girl who will soon get married and wants to know who her father is. Surprise is when she have three candidates, each with an entertaining story about how they met Donna (played by Meryl Streep) the mother of this girl named Sophie (played by Amanda Seyfried).

The entertaining thing about this musical movie is that they are all ABBA! songs, a swedish pop group.

This year, a second part was released in which the story was recommended to flashing with Lily James playing the young Donna.

One curious thing about this second part is that Cher appears, playing Donna' mom.

I highly recommend watching these films, and althought in the second part (SPOILER!) Meryl Streep don't appear much, I would say that it's much better than the first part.

Finally, I recommend the interpretations of the following songs:

- When I kissed the teaher.

- I have a dream.

- Andate, Andate!

- The name of the game

- Mamma Mia.

- Dancing Queen and

- Super Trouper.

Good Holidays

Okay, in this week I talk about best holidays. Really, I have many holidays to remember, so I'll tell you about the last ones, which were very good. 

This vacation was during the September break and I went to Ritoque, a beach near Quintero. 

We went for 4 days with muy friends from the university, where we ate delicious, played games, we practiced sport and we walk even in a nearby forest.

Thhis walk especially was interesting given that it was a day of a lot of fog, which mae the landscape a very beautiful one. However, during the trip back we got lost... we took much longer to return! 

Me

My friends

This vacation was special because we were once again able to share new and pleasant experiences with my friends at the university. In addition, it was not too much to relax before this difficult semester that is coming.
