Assignment 6: A photograph that I like

I had seen this picture few days ago and I really like it. I couldn't figure out who took it, but it appeared on "El Mercurio" website (http://www.emol.com/).

The photograph shows Alexis Sanchez and Marco Estrada (2 chilean football players) celebrating the chilean second goal against Bolivia. It was taken 1 week ago (June 10th).

Actually, Estrada scored but Sanchez appeared celebrating like the goal was scored by himself.

I liked the picture because it remains me the great match it was. I watched the match at home, and I had a really good time, since the goal sealed the chilean victory that night.

I also like the photograph because it shows natural movements of the body that most of the people do when they're happy.

Assignment 5: My favourite subject

One of my favourite subject this term is Social Theory III. The name of my teacher is Omar Aguilar. He is a very good teacher and he also teaches the same subject at the Alberto Hurtado’s University, which has a good reputation in the social sciences here in Chile.

It’s easy for me to study this subject because, as I see it, the
ideas that we discuss there are very helpfull to understand our contemporary society, which is our study’s object and that puts me in a enthusiastic way at the moment of discussion. That’s why I dedicate most of my time to read Social Theory III books instead of giving more time to other subjects.

Although this semester is not over yet, I’ve learnt some things. For example, at the moment of investigation, we should not only observ the social condicions that determine social phenomena like people’s taste or people’s political position, but also observ social condicions that determine our own way, as investigators, of study our reality.

Assignment 4: A career-related website

One website that I like is http://www.hipersociologia.org.ar. It contains articles about a course in the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires that is called “Informatic and Social Relations”. The course and the website are maded by Argentinian sociologysts. I knew about this website by a Social History’s teacher assistant.

I visit it once a week, to read articles, when I have free time. Although I visit it periodically, i haven’t read all the articles, because most of the time I must study for my tests. I like it because the article’s themes are interesting to me, and it gives me the oportunity of learning about a subject we don’t have here in our Faculty, because my teachers have not realized about the importance of studying those fields, so it’s dificult to have a teacher that can teach those kind of subjects here in my Faculty.
