Emile Durkheim: The Suicide Hello my friends! In this moment I going talk about one of the founding fathers of sociology, called Emile Durkheim :)  Emile was a French sociologist who set the boundaries of the discipline for firts time.

First, I am a person who has very different taste, I am not a fan of a only kind of music, I enjoy listening to music since I was a child. When I was a child, I listened to music many times, for example in the car of my father, in my bed when I am trying to sleep, in my stress moments, when I was bored, etc. Since childhood I listen all kinds of music, but mostly rock music. Actually, my favorites types of music are Rock and Rap, in specific the British rock, and Chilean Rap. But when I am at a party, I must admit that I enjoy listening and dancing to cumbia, bachata and reggaeton, because this kind of music is perfect for fun. My favorites rock bands are coldplay, oasis, red hot chili peppers, and poison. My favorites rappers are Eminen, 2Pac, Movimiento Original, Liricistas, ChysteMC, Canserbero between others... My favorites  singers of reggaeton are Daddy Yankee, J alvarez, J balvin, De la guetto,
