Blog 9: Changes To My Study Programme

Hello everyone, today I will talk about the changes I would like to make to the social work curriculum. I'm not sure what I would like to write about this topic, as I've never thought about what things I would like to change or modify of this program itself. Now by referring to the infrastructure of the FACSO building I think there are many things I would like to change. I consider the classrooms to be small for the number of students we are. The times we have had classes in those classrooms we are always very cramped and uncomfortable, besides in the summer the classrooms are very hot and usually the air conditioning does not work well. I think the classrooms of the "aularios" are much better, they are much more spacious, and the classroom infrastructure is much better. Another point I could criticize about FACSO's infrastructure is that we don't have a casino. We have a coffe shop that has a couple of microwaves and a couple of tables and chairs, however, it is quite small and when we want to buy lunch we must go to philosophy or ICEI.
Another thing I would like to see modified has not to do with mesh and career subjects itself, but about CFG. Currently it is very difficult to have access to the CFG, in my case I have been postulating 2 semesters and the 2 times I have been rejected. I think you should be able to take the CFG you want whenever you want. Anyway, those would be the things I think would change.

Blog 8: Personal Opinions.

Hello everyone, in today's blog I will talk about four topics, the first is the legalization of abortion in some cases. The truth is that I do not agree that abortion is legalized in only three cases, I believe that abortion should be free and legal. Times have progressed, although there are still many things to achieve, women are becoming more empowered, and I think they should have the right to decide about their motherhood. Second, I will talk about violence on television. I think violence is too normalized in all kinds of television broadcast programs, only in some programs certain types of violence are more explicit than others, such as police programs. However, in programs such as the so-called "farándula", it is also possible to demonstrate other types of violence and violations of people's privacy and their physical and mental integration. Thirdly, I will speak about the "mechoneo" and approach it from my personal experience. Before entering social work at this university, I was in Kinesiology at the Diego Portales University and there I suffered the famous mechoneo. At first, I was unable to assess how violent and degrading that process was, however, over time I realized that it is a practice that undermines the integrity and dignity of students and even threatens their safety, so it should no longer to be made. Finally, I will talk about tattoos. Both my mother and father have tattoos, so I have always seen them as normal something, I think they are nice, and people should not be discriminated against for having them. Sometimes it seems incredible to me that in the XXI century there are people who continue to discriminate against others, for example, when they want to access a job, for the fact of having visible tattoos, as if that took away the ability to do that a good job . But hey, I suppose there are many things that society is not yet capable of normalizing.

Blog 7: Animated Disney/Pixar Character.

Hello everyone, today I'm going to talk about my favorite Disney character. The truth is that I consider myself a big fan of Disney movies and cartoons in general, I have a lot of fun watching these kinds of movies with my little sisters. It was very difficult to choose a single character since there are many that I like, however, I will choose a character from my favorite movie, which is the treasure planet. This movie is one of those Disney movies that are not widely recognized, and I think it should be. Anyway, my favorite character is the protagonist of this movie, Jim Hawkins. Jim is a rebellious teenager, who likes adventure and going against the rules. He is categorized as the typical problem child, from whom not much is expected and who is thought to have no future. However, once he embarks on the adventure of finding the treasure planet, he meets a cyborg who helps him with his confidence and self-esteem, showing him that with his character and courage he can achieve great things. What I like most about this character is that he manages to turn his destiny and demonstrate that he could achieve great things despite the fact that he had many things against him, in addition to having a strong character and he was not intimidated by what others believed and they said of him.

Blog 6: Postgraduate Studies.

Hello everyone, today I will talk about whether I would like to do a postgraduate or not. I have thought about the continuity of my studies, however, it is not something that I really care about now. I have realized over time that I am not a person who is characterized by thinking a lot about the long-term future, since many of the times I have projected myself in relation to some things in my life, and these have not turned out as I expected. Anyway, I think I would still like to do a postgraduate degree that may be related to gender perspectives. The gender perspective studies the cultural and social constructions proper to women and men, which identifies the feminine and the masculine against the background of inequality between genders in all social classes and is a theme that from my point of view every It is becoming more important in contemporary society and it is interesting to see how these topics that perhaps a couple of years ago were not talked about so much today are on the table.

The truth is that I don't really care where I can do this postgraduate, if I had the opportunity to go abroad I would go, so I could interact with people from other parts of the world and I could meet different perspectives on the subject, however, if the opportunity arises to do this postgraduate in Chile I think I would also accept it.
