Latin American Social History

In this semester, I have six subjects, but there are not a subject that I really love “with all my heart”. But if a have to choose one of them, i’d choose Latin American Social History, by the Porfesor Octavio Avendaño.

The thing that  I like about this subject, is that almost all the content of the subject,  I learned in my school, but this time, we learn the history in a different way, the profesor talk about the social history. I mean, we dont learn only general information about latin american history, the teacher put the emphasis in thing that generally doesn’t teach in school, like how the social groups influence on the history process or the different interpretattions of historical facts. Thats what we do in the class and why I like this subject.

The subject starts with the colony period, then we learn about the Independence, the anarchy period, the time with the oligarchy in the power,  the populism,  the authoritarian times, and the structural changes, and the neoliberal reforms.

Another thing that i like, is learn about another latin amircan countrys, because before this subject, I didn know much about them, only about chilean history. 

LA RENGA

Hi everyone. I dont really have only one favorite band or singer. In fact, I dont have a favorite kind of music, I am very open mind about that. My mom likes metal music, so since 2013, I have learned about that kind of music and rock too. If I have to talk about a band, I´d choose La Renga, a rock band from Argentina. This is one of my favorite bands, I think the lyrics are very good and also the voice of the singer. The songs of this band have been part of my life for a long time, so I really like "La Renga".
The band was formed in Mataderos, Argentina. Actually, in La Renga sing and play the guitar Gustavo "Chizzo" Nápoli, in the bass plays Gabriel Iglesias, in the drums Jorge Iglesias, and the most recent member is Gabriel Sanchez, playing the saxophone.
Is very difficult talk about only one song and say that is my favorite, but I'd choose a song called "Hablando de la libertad", from the album "Despedazado por mil partes". Its a very powefull song and very pretty in my opinion. I dont need to talk more about this song, its enought with read this part of the chorus: "Morir queriendo ser libre, encontrar mi lado salvaje,
ponerle alas a mi destino, romper los dientes de este engranaje".

My best friend

I have known a lot of firends in my life,  first in the school and now in the university, with every one I have lived many funny, happy and also sad experiences. But of all those friends, there is one that is my best friend. His name is Cristián Morales Weibel.

I met him when I was five years old, in the school. At the same time, our mothers become friends too, so we saw each other almost every day. Since then, we become best friends until now.

He is my best friends because with him I have lived  more experiences than anyone. Practically, his family is my family, and he think the same.

I can’t say that I have one best memory with him, because there are a lot of them, especially in the partys, but most of them are secrets.

 

Hi everyone. Today we are in the modern time, so is very difficult be away of the technology. I have pieces of technology like Playstation 3, a computer, a cellphone, but my favorite piece of technology is my T.V.I have the t.v. since 2010, it was a gift from my dad in my birthday.

There aren`t something better than be in home lay down watching t.v., maybe some movie in netflix or a good serie. For increase the pleasure, Iyou can cook something and eat while your watching t.v., is a good experience, I recommend.

I watch t.v generally at night before get sleep, but when I can I do it. I think t.v. is very funny and give good moments, but isn’t really necesary or essential for life, so i could live perfectly without my t.v.

Why I study sociology?

When I was a child, I wanted to be an inventor, I really dont know why. Neither I ask myself what is the inventor’s job. I never thought about becoming after that, never was much important for me. When I grow up, I knew my area, I liked History  most of all. At the begening I thought  that psichology could be interesting, but after think a lot about that, I understand that I dont wanted to be a psycologist. At the time I still was to Young to know what I want,  but one day I had  a talk with a friend of the Universidad Alberto Hurtado, and I went to a sociology conference, then I knew what I wanted to be, a sociologist. I chose that because its very interesting  know about the society, how it work’s and all about that.

Ejercicio 1

My name is Benjamin Arriagada Peric, I have 19 years old and I live in Santiago. Since this year I study sociology in Universidad de Chile and cursing the english class, that's why now I'm writing this post. I like a lot the english language because I think is very elegant  and is the lenguage I constantly watch in the t.v. I like the music in english too, so I listen almost every day. I watch a lot of movies in inglish language, and I dont like watch that movies with these talks in spanish. That's the reason I always try to watch movies in english. I think the most difficlut aspect of english for me is the gramma, because I never concern in learn it. To overcome that problem I'm going to try be disciplined in the english study
