Blog 1: a country I'd like to visit.

When it comes to places to visit, the first one that comes to mind is India. The main reason is the amazing places you can visit, the food and the whole different way of living. This huge country in the south of Asia is a mystery for most of the people from the continent where I live. The principal attractions that may surprise you are the incredible architecture, the amazing monument such as Taj Majal temple, Ganges river, the Holi festival, and so many others.  
 

 
A cool fact about Indian culture is that most of the people speaks English, the only language I know besides Spanish. As well, India stands out for the largest vegetarian population in the world with 40% of the Indians, and it is because of religious reasons. For that last reason, the thing that I would like doing the most in India is trying all the food possible, especially different types of vegan curries, while I walk around the crazy and crowded streets. I would definitely like staying there for a while but I don’t think I would live in India because the culture is extremely different from mine.

Blog 8: Personal opinions

Imagen
I want to formulate my opinion around one topic which is the conservatism of chilean society. Speaking of that I have some opinions about different questions.  First, I totally disagree with people who are against legal abortion, something that has been talked about a lot in here so as in Argentina. I don't know if I would personally abort, but it doesn't care because if it is was legal no one would force me to do it, but many people who want to abort could do it safely. So in spite of my personal choice, I totally agree with legalizing abortion in all of the cases (considering a maximum of months os gestation and etc). Also, I think that this society is still a little against people who look different from them. I' m speaking about the physical appearance of other and I say this because I love tattoos (I have many of them) and I've received a lot of negative comments even though people shouldn't talk about other peoples bodies because it is not of their business an...

Blog 9: changes to my study programme

I am in second year of anthropology and I love the study programme. It lasts five years and I know that it constantly changing so as society and contexts. The first two years of the career the curriculum is based on theory subjects such us history, philosophy, sociology, epistemology and some other practical courses about field work which help us figuring out what degree we are going to choose. Then, in third year we start studying specifically the field that we chose (social or physical anthropology and archeology). I think that it is great that we can get closer to every discipline during the first two years so we can take a good decision later and also knowing how important it is interdisciplinarity. Another thing that I like is that as we learn theory we have to analyze the social reality of chile, so I guess that the methods of teaching are pretty good. Also, the curriculum is really well organized about the credits of the courses, so if you fail one or you decide not taking them ...

Blog 7: animated disney character

Imagen
I have a very bad memory, the moment a watch a movie I forget about ir. Anyways, las week I saw "Onward" and i fell in love with it. The character I loved about the movie was Barley, an elf living in a world that used to be full of magic, but it was replaced by inventions, industrialization, and ended up in a modern civilization as we humans do. Even though anyone believed in magic anymore, Barley is crazy about games and cards about history and magic, so people think he is a nerd.  I liked this character because no matter what the most of the people behave and think he is faithful to his own believes about the past and his ancestors. Because of that, he supports his brother, the protagonist, until the end of the adventure of the movie, discovering mythological beings and places. Barley represents a punky and passionate teenager, a freak that goes against what is stablished, even dough he got arrested by the police for doing strike in front of a monument that is going to be k...
