Your Blogging Experience

My experience was comfortable in general, I learn a few new words and now I feel a little more confident at the time of write in english. I feel my writing skills developed a little with this exercise of writing a blog every week. However I think I would be more excited with a oral part in this blogs, because is this part of learn English that more difficult to me. I think another thing that I would like to write is something relationed with an specific hobby like my fauvorite movie. Maybe write in a blog an opinion associated with a contemporary issue like the environment and global warming or the conflict of the Araucania in Chile. Maybe this help as like invetigators of social science a write in another language with the objective of publish a papers or even a blogs direct to people of another countries. Another option that would be a good option to learn, is write an essay instead of so many blogs. An essay relationed with our degree, our university studies or maybe a simple test of an investigation of Social Science.

A band / singer I like

The last time I really enjoy to listen a John Frusciante, the guitarist of Red Hot Chili Peppers. Am obsess with his life and his music. I can observe the conflict between him and the guitar when he plays, I feel the love, the pain, the hate when he make his songs. He go to Los Angeles when he has 17, because he want to live a life where he can be how he really is. Frusciante wants to live a life of sex, drugs and rock and roll, not because the pleasures, he feel that´s is the place where he belong. Years later, he meet with the RHCP, and plays for so many years, until the band eject he because your drug adiccition. He become to asceticism for two years and leave the drugs and the sex for an spiritual cleanliness. After that, he return to RHCP until 2007, where he abandoned the band to continue his life as a solist. The kind of music that he plays is like rock, indie and funk in some years with the RHCP. I really like so many songs of him, but the better songs that I consider are, "wet sand" and "Under the bridge" with the RHCP, and "My smile is a rifle" as a solist. This songs produce in me a so deep felling of pain, passion and freedom. This songs makes me reflect a lot.

A subject you´ve enjoyed studying this semester

The subjetc that I really enjoyed this semester was sociological theory II. The content was really exciting and fun. This subject change a little my perception about what sociology is. I remember the unity about Chicago School and my teacher Maria Emilia Tijoux talking about Erving Goffman. I remember how I couln´t listen anything else than my teacher. Also, the teacher teaches in such a way that one is able to immerse oneself within the subject. Erving Goffman was a bohemian sociologist and an expert observer. He sat in Bar´s, and listened to other people in the Bar. I really enjoy the idea of do sociology in this way. In this subject we also saw Symbolic interactionism, Structural functionalism and Critical theory. I like see others authors that they were not the classics of always. This subject is so much important to contemporary sociology and helps to understand the society today and how and why is it transformed the last years. In summary, I enjoyed this subject for the new authors and for the important that this subject is.

An expert on my field

I really don´t consider an expert to anybody in my field. I don´t feel that level of admiration. However, I consider to my teacher of teory II a really good sociologist. I respect so much her work. Her name is María Emilia Tijoux. Her is licensed of social sciences in the University of Paris VIII. Actually her is a sociologist of University of Chile and work in investigates about sociology of the body, sociology of the habitus and problems about social domination: body and social structure; body and interaction; body and sensitivity; bodies, knowledge, powers; body and writing, body and confinement. The thing that really cause respect on me, are her works abouts immigration and social discrimination. These areas are not very researched and I think they are so much important. I really enjoy her classes because teacher Tijoux is a very passionate teacher. I remember one class about the school of Chicago. I really love the content and every extra commentary of the class. In my life, is a very little number of teachers that are capable of win my attention every second.
