A country I would like to visit

A country I would like to visit with all my heart is Egypt, because only its name sound exotic to me, I imagine a country with narrow street, buildings like little palaces with the smell of centuries of history, camels, women dressed with veils, palm trees and people eating dates, nuts and pistachios.
I know very little about it, one of those things is that the climate is humid, hot and dry, a dessert weather, that they have a president and a lot of poverty in spite that they do have rich nesses like oil and that their official religion is Muslim and their language is from Arabic roots.
If I go there someday, I would like to learn more about their dance: the seven veil dance, the belly dance and the odalisque dance and to listen to their music and buy a lot of it.
I will be very happy to study and live there for a couple of months in a “Dance academy” with a native dancer to perfection my own style of oriental dancing that I practice these days.

A new term!!!!!!!

Hello everyone!!

In general, the first term was good. I’m going to talk about different areas:

- University  I took 7 courses: Theory of Systems, Quantitative Methods, Qualitative Methods, Easter Island Culture, Gender, Development Anthropology and English. I like the most part of these classes, and I think that I learned a lot of new things. But in the last part of the term I was very stress, because I had to do a lot of big works (And also I have exams).
- Family  I have a few of big problems with some of my relatives (for example, with my sister), but nothing impossible to overcome.
- Friends  I had difficulty with some of my classmates, but I tried to think that was a problem of the other person (not mine).
- Love  I was singer (and I still be one). It was a calm term “for my hearth”.
- Health  My health was great! I got sick only one time, and it was nothing to worry about.

Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity

On the link http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity.html yoy can see a video called "Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity". Today, I will make a reviwe and a comment about this video.
It was very difficult to me to understand the video because Ken Robinson has an english accent.
Ken Robinson is a man about 50 years olds.
In his conference, the man review this themes:
1) Extraordinary of human crativity
2) The future (¿how we make planes?)
3) The education.
4) The human intelligence.

Sometimes he appears like a comediant, but he is saying something important and serious.
The central argument is: Ken Robinson question himself and the audience about the education system that its present all around the word. He affirms that this system nurtures creativity. It seems that the adults are loosing innovation capacity, and principally because this system prepares people to the work world, and not for a development for there habilities. He said that there is “People that have to move to think”.

My blog experience

In first place, I have to say that I had never had a blog before. Because of this, it was a new experience. It was difficult to me, because I don’t have the habit to writ posts. Also, it took me a lot of hard to write in English, because a long time ago that I don’t did this. I want to explain a lot of things, but I don’t find the correct words. That is one of the reasons that have a blog it was not a enjoy experience. But the way, and because the same reason, it was something good to improve my English level. Sometimes I think that my writing hability it’s the worst. So, have a blog it a good way to improve it.

In other way, I think that the information including in some posts was very similar. More that one time I write “Medical Anthropoloy”, because I have to answer question relation with mi career. But in general, I like the topics of the post. The most I like was when I answer “A photo that I like.” In that case, I learn a lot of new words to talk about that.

Finally, in conclusion, it was more the better than the worst in my experience of have a blog. Today I can say that I know how to use one. And, the more important, I learned to say a lot of phrases and words in the correct way.

My favorite subject

My favorite subject this term is Qualitative methodology. The reason I like it is because this subject give me a body of knowledge that it’s very important for my formation like a social scientist. In qualitative methodology I had learn about two techniques: Life history and Focus group. The first it is refers to the biography of some person. In the other hand and the second it is refers to a group conversation. Booth of them are very important, because they give as direct information about what people think and what they do. It give as a particular information about the problematic of the subjectivity, that is very important for all the anthropologist all around the world. Also, this subject gives me a theoretical approach about the methodological phenomenas involved on the social investigation process, so is very complete and very useful-

My ideal job

Because I am studying Anthropology, my wish is to work in this area. So, I would like to work as an ethnographer. At ethnographic work means that I would have to travel to many different societies and cultures around the world, with the view to increase the anthropological knowledge.
To do this job, I would have to be open to adaptation to different places where I will be. It is very important that I need to bee empathic with the people. Also, for this job I have to record all the information around me. So, I would need to be able to take pictures, have a field diary, and have conversations with lot of people.
I am good at writing, so I will be able to record in a good way the information. I am very emphatic with people that I don’t know before. I am a sociable person, so I will be good to get closer to the people.
Sincerely, I think that I never will find this job. It's a utopian idea, because today doesn’t exist to much people that are interested to pay this kind of work.

My future

In first place, I have to say that I have a lot of plans, that I think that maybe I don't have time to make al the things that I want to do. Or maybe I'll achieve my goals, but I will not have the youth and the strength for that.
One of my goals is to continue with my studies out of Chile. I would like to take a postgraduate on Medical Anthropology, maybe in Mexico.
I don’t want to die before visiting two countries: Australia and Egypt. So I hope to have money to travel to those places. However, soon I'm going to travel, but to an other place. I’m going to visit Easter Island (Rapa Nui).
In five years I imagine my self single and without children. I would like to have a big house for my own. I want a big house because my dream is to have a lot of animals, specially street dogs, picked up from the sreet.
