Self Evaluation of my academic year

The year 2009 was the year where finish with my matters in the University. Is my fourth year in the career and the fifth year in the University of Chile. So it is an important year for me where I finish my pre-grade formation and then be able to develop myself as a professional sociologist. Also it was my last year with my university classmates, without forget that this year is the finish of 17 years of education to get to be a professional, doing more important this academic year, with all the feelings that the finish of cycle education implies in the life of a person.
Now, with respect my self evaluation of the academic year in general terms, it was a difficult year because i had to work and study at a time, so my time was reduce to makle both functions. I did not have much free time, so I spent my free time to rest to function well in the university and at work. I also had periods of stress and depression which led to my performance down in my duties, but still could pass.
With respect to my learning in the University, it was good because fourth-year classes have a more practical character, so feel that work is being done for the society and are interesting and relevant. So you are more motivated because you fell like your work and you are used your skills learned throughout your educational development.
Another important point about my academic year, is that this year start to feel things you have learned that you can apply in any work or any investigation, so you feel that your knowledge is important and scientifically, other than common sense, so can contribute to society from social sciences.
Finally, with respect to my qualifications in the university have been acceptable but they can always improve if I propose.
In conclusion, it has been a year of many emotions, hard work and effort on my part and that by the time I managed to overcome the difficulties that have come to me. I have also learned a lot about sociology, as I applied my knowledge in various investigations, which is good to understand what they are for my knowledge acquired at university. I hope to finish this year in a good way to then take a vacation, start my thesis, get my degree and develop as a professional.

Challenges in your discipline

In this moment the sociology is in various challenges with respect matters of improve the quality of sociology that is creating in the classrooms.

A point about challenges that have the sociology in the country is the used technology for make investigation of quality that delivers the Sociology to the society. This technology should be in function to make investigations that serve to the society and being a contribution for the knowledge. The problems of the software are that doesn't solve important problematic that is presents in the investigations about society. For this, we should make software that can process data and obtain better results.

Another area in the Sociology with challenges to face is the social matters and its contribution for society. This is an important point because the Sociology must have a function for the society, contribute and focus in the social reality for not to convert in a unproductive science and slightly applicable to the society. The sociology has been an actor irrelevant on the public spaces, for this is important that make changes on the focus and utility of the Sociology for the society and to position to the Sociology as an important actor with voice in the society. The critical issue of this point is how to position to the sociology as an actor with a influential voice in the society.

With respect the education, the sociology should be improve the quality of career imparted in the university, generate knowledge relevant for the society and improve the matters that shape the career of Sociology in the Universities. A critical issue is the financing that have this type of careers, as also the resources assigned for this type of social investigation. Another critical issues is the quality of infrastructure of the faculties of social sciences. So it is necessary that the State asigned additional resources to revitalize the social sciences in the country.

A piece of news

The piece of news that I comment is about the case of espionage between Chile and Perú for the limits problems. This accusation is of Perú against Chile for a espionage supposition and information that Chile was received of a Peruvian infiltrator.

This news is very important for relationship between both countries because this affects the relationship Chilean-Peruvian causing political problems and hatred between both villages. Another important point is the bad image with that both countries are, Chile as a bad neighbor with the countries bordering provoking disputes of territories, and Perú as a country with bad relationship provoking wars for territories that was assigned years ago and was signed in a contract between both countries. All this is taken in account for the international tribunals for then take decisions about this problem.

This problem affects the immigrant Peruvians that live in Chile, being these immigrants a great majority in the country. For what it is a news that concerns the relations between the villages of both countries.

With respect the news I like to watch on TV, would be about reducing social inequality and poverty, improved quality of life and things like that.

Improving your Faculty Facilities

The situation in my Faculty with respect to the necessary facilities for the ideal development of the academic activities is deficient.

In the Faculty there aren't sufficient classrooms for the pupils, neither adapted laboratories for the anthropologists, there is an absence of spaces for suitable studies and places for the development to investigate.

In the Faculty, there has been progress with respect to the technology implementation with new computer rooms.

Now, the first steps that there would be necessary to give it is the increase of budget inverted from the faculty, and granted by the State as investment for the public education.

This Investment must be in use in increasing and improving the classrooms, implementing spaces for the quality study and improving all the facilities.

The benefits of these implementations for the faculty are the increase of the quality of the university public education, which is related to the generation of professionals and quality scientists. With this it is achieved to create qualit knowledge for the society.

Election Day

I am not registered for the electoral votes for motives of that I not feeling represented by the political parties that take part in the parliamentary politics.

I feel that the politics has been discredited by the current actors, which it does not motivate to the youth that observes this type of politics and they are not feeling represented for the politicians. Then as way of representing my dissatisfaction, I am not registered.

My opinion about the electoral campaigns is that it necessary in order that the candidates show his programs for the society, but they have not been good lately at terms of contents and offers.

About the qualities that a presidential candidate must have, are honesty, good ideas, and commitment with the country, he or she must be an intelligent person who looks for the necessary changes for the problems that concern to the country.

With respect the question about I become a politician, mi answer is yes, I have considered becoming a politician at some time at if the conditions are given and there is a political project that represents me.

The ministry at which I would be employed would be that of Economy because it is a ministry where I might solve one of the principal problems that concerns to the country that is the social inequality.

The five problems that they need from immediate solution are:
1. Inequality distribution of income.
2. The labour exploitation.
3. The low quality of the public education.
4. The low quality of the public health.
5. The inequality of opportunities.

Summary from a career-related article from The Guardian

Recession Britain
"While the pace of decline in GDP slowed to 0.8% from the 2.4% seen in the first three months of 2009, the economy has suffered a cumulative contraction of 5.7% in the past five quarters".

The article speaks about economics contracted and the fall of the GDP in Great Britain, which is accumulating falls from the first quarter up to the second one. Registering a fall of 0,8 percent in the quarter June July and August. This falls in GPD is thebiggest since 1930 where the crisis of 29's in the store markets United States.

This indicates that the big crises of the European markets relate directly to the economy of United States what reflects the great importance of this one world economy.

Today the economy United States influences on the international markets, when the currency of USA is falling down, Europe's exports become slightly competitive on the North American markets for its high cost. Then, since the fact that the consumption of The United States is very big and important for the world economy and the exports of the world, specifically the European ones. Then the crisis that has lived recently The United States is concerning Europa's economy and the world on having lowered its rates of consumption and having imported minor quantities of foreign products.

The effects in the British society it is the fall of the GDP with increases of the rate of unemployment, low in the social securities, as also a fall in the consumption, the sales in the markets trades and the levels of production.

Criminal Laws.

The capital punishment isn't solution to reduce criminality because not solution the social problems that are behind and produce the existense of these crimes.What proposes the death penalty only implies a solution with respect to the consequences of a social problem that is the social inequality and the poverty.

According to my opinion, the capital punishment does not have pros because it is a medieval measure that does not propose a solution to the reasons that provoke the crimes, neither an alteration of these delincuent conducts , only it decides on the life of a person in an irresponsible way.

The cons of the capital punishment are the same dedicated arguments on because it is a wrong measure to solve the problems of the delinquency and it is a wrong measure because it is a mesure that takes decisions with respect to the life of the other persons.

The government with respect to the high rates of criminality must take preventive measure on the social risks to fall down in these conducts delictuales, for example do campaigns in neighborhoods with high social vulnerability. Also take measure with regard to the high inequality of revenue and the decrease of the poverty.

According to my opinion, the origin of the increasing criminality rates in Chile is explains for the social segregation, the inequality that vulnerabilizan to certain social sectors that fall down in the delinquency.

Once I had an experience of suffering a crime where they stole the radio of the car.
