Post 10: English Language Challenges


Hi everyone
Well, this is the last English blog I'll do this year.
I must say that sometimes it cost me to write what I wanted to say, however, I enjoyed throughout the semester writing about the various topics that the teacher requested.

I feel that having created this blog, it will be a nice memory after I have finished my university career, and I will remember the teacher Rosa Zagal and the course with love.

With this subject, I was able to improve certain aspects of my English, such as grammar and vocabulary increase. However, I feel that my level of English is not yet adequate, because in my school I never had a good English educational base.

I plan to continue improving my English, and for this, I want to enroll in a part time English Institute, to learn English while I continue my postgraduate in Social System Theory

All these plans that I have planned to do in my future, are due to the fact that I know that English is fundamental today in order to achieve an elevated academic development, since most articles, theses, books and important academic journals are in English.

On the other hand, English is not only for academic development, but for everyday life, because we are in an increasingly globalized world, where for a few decades, English has become the universal language and hegemonic . This leads to the great part of the cultural industry that people consume, be in English, as are books, movies, music, among other products and services.

Finally, it is necessary to be aware that a high management of the English language means an increase of cultural capital, which in turn translates into social prestige, which is extremely useful in a society like Chile, where prestige plays a important role in different fields, such as labor, economic and social

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. He is the first to talk about "Social Fact", Durkheim explain that "a  social fact is every way of acting, fixed or not, capable of exercising on the individual an external constraint; or again, every way of acting which is general throughout a given society, while at the same time existing in its own right independent of its individual manifestations". The main  topics of Durkheim are : the suicide, social division of work, school discipline, and religious rituals . This time I will focus in his study of suicide, that was the first study of a "social fact" (and not only individual psychological fact) measured quantitatively. Durkheim identified four types of suicide, egoistic suicide,altruistic suicide, anomic su

Post 8: Personal Opinion

Hi everyone, in this moment I will answer two question, and I will give my opinion about this two topics: What is your opinion about child labor? Firts of all, we must consider that children should not work as an obligation, since according to the rights of the child, all children have the right to be protected from the child exploitation, and they should not work until they reach a legal age. Nevertheless sometimes they need work to survive, because  the family's salary is not enough to cover bassic needs, In cases like these, children can be allowed to work, as long as they want and are not forced to work againts their will. For example, when I was a child I loved going to sell at the streetmarket, because it entertained me and also helped my family taking my own  money. In conclusion, I think that no child should work by obligation of third parties, however, if work does the child happy and also adds income to the family, could be allowed as an exception Wha
