Changes to my study programme

The first thing that would change would be the excessive burden of subjects that focus on biology and hard sciences. Then it would include subjects that form in the relational and social skills, as well as subjects that work the ethical theme of the profession. Another change would i like is more practical emphasis in all subjects of the career. We need more practical experiences.

I think the load is the correct but that it focuses on readings so the skills and capacities are not necessarily developed. What must be changed is the duration to the four-year studies as the other countries. It will also be necessary to offer more facilities to connect the career with postgraduates.

I think it's a faculty with good access but it's built incorrectly. Too many buildings that do not connect well with each other, less green spaces and and less fewer meeting spaces. Because of the "Bicentario project" the campus lost positive things as symbolic places or green spaces where to sit and share. It is also real that we can improve the technology of the English rooms, the study secretaries, the DAE and other offices.

To finish, I would like the classes to be less expository, that they will always involve practical activities and that they would be more focused on the students and less on the teacher. It is important that there is more meaningful learning, embodied learning, that is obtained by playing, participating, practical dynamics and other more playful ways.

We will build a better career when the challenge is to develop our society and people and not only publish papers and take pictures.

Good luck in our test tomorrow!!!

My future job: Public policies

My favorite subject: History!

Personal opinión about 5 things

What is your opinion about women in the army?

I think it's like tomato sauce on pizza. In the 21st century we can no longer think of reducing spaces for men and women, of course, there are exceptions, such as the use of voices in choirs or spaces for personal care in women. Even so, a woman can be a good military man, for example, my aunt was the first female female guaripola in the air forces, a great honor for her family. 

What is your opinion about Chilean politicians?

Some people may disagree with me, but I think we have the worst politicians in the world because they are corrupt and inept. Corrupted by what we know, they reach agreements with companies to finance their campaigns in exchange for votes. Ineptos because they are incapable, attend little to work and, in general, do not handle the current political problems. 

What is your opinion about climate change?

It is a difficult issue, but today it is our greatest collective challenge. If we do not reduce our emissions substantially by 2030, we'll can not offer a good world to our children. I am absolutely sure that this will not be easy, since there are many economic interests involved 

What is your opinion about cloning?

I think it is an important technological advance, but it has not been accompanied by the ethical debate it deserves. Recently, I was surprised by the story of a great racehorse that has already been cloned 7 times. The first of its clones is already competing and race very well too! 

What is your opinion about immigration?

My point of view is clear, immigration is a human right. In Chile, despite the ignorance about them, they have come to fill us with life, to light up our streets, to return the friendly greeting every day. I can take an ugly phrase that has occupied and turn it around: "The immigrants have come to improve the Chilean race"

Postgraduate Studies

When i think in postgraduate studies immediately i think in skills, knowledge's and capacities to be able to develop what I want to do in this world. That's why, beyond the specific study, it has to be something that improves my "know-how". That's why I think for me it's important that it be a more practical than theoretical study and with more workshops and work with people that only expository class.

When you think about the subject of study I can think of at least three major themes: education, social work and public policies. If I can combined all maybe its better. In short, I want an area of study that teaches me methodologies, that gives me advice that nurtures me of embodied-knowledge.

I would like to study outside of Chile, especially in an English-speaking country, and if I can, in a good university. Whenever I think about this is with go back to Chile. It is to extract a little knowledge of the privileged and hegemonic places so with that then I can help my country again

I would like to study full-time because I think it's in the interaction in classes where you learn the most and I would like this to also mean know the people. This entire dream would not be possible without thinking of an "Beca Chile" and therefore in the gentle sponsorship of the State.

¡¡that the stars and Pedrito Engels are with me!!

My future job

I would like to work on public policies and social projects, so I imagine working in offices and meetings while going out on the ground to dialogue with people. I think it would be important the ability to speak the formal language that characterizes politcs operators or decision makers at the same time that it is essential reach the heart and needs of the people.

I imagine traveling to learn from other experiences, from other countries, but above all traveling a lot through Chile and its locations. This is important because Chile is so different and the needs of the people are different to.The truth? the salary is secondary but not for that unimportant, I want have a good salary for pay my bills, eat, sleep and share with my friends nice times.

I would like to study some post degree in education, public policies and social transformation. It's something that I would like to study outside of Chile to, as I said before, learn from the way in which they sort out these issues in other realities and countries.

Ultimately, the most important thing for me is to leave a grain of sand, to be able to contribute from my knowledge and motivation to make this a world better and more peaceful
¡¡¡and what better if it's my job!!!

How to be "Team Human"

I believe that the central idea of the ted talks made by Rushkoff is discuss the implications for the human future of the digital era. In this sense, Douglas believes that today technology meets the objectives of the market and not of human development. He said that today digital information is made to predict your future behaviors and be able to influence them.

That is terrible!! since the information is not used for a greater social welfare, to make better public policies or to allow a better exchange of experiences between people ¡information is for the powerful people! It is assumed that the digital era offers tools for human development, but as Douglas says these are inhuman at their core.

And worst, the powerful people are not worried about how to stop the social catastrophe, less the digital extractivism, they are worried about how maintaining their power after the crisis. They think of a bunker, an escape, an individualistic salvation. That is why it is important to join the "Team Human", the rest we will have to face the global crisis collectively.

In my opinion the most important thing is give a new meaning to the digital in the spaces of each one; in how we use the information and why, but above all, how much time we decide to spend with our loved ones and how much of our energy will be invested in helping the other people.

¿Why I choosed my career?

I choosed Psychology because i wanted study something related to social sciences and social work. In the last year of school two teachers influenced my decision. One of them is called Cristian and is an anthropologist the another is called Jorge and is an philosopher. Both always believed that I should dedicate my career to something related to the social and social welfare matters.

Since then I knew the psychologists are dedicated in part to the clinic but also have a strong interest in the social things. I knew about Freud, Skinner, Rogers and some others but i don't knew about social psychologists. I also knew from my own experiences that psychologists help with family and judicial issues but I never imagined the strong community and social work they can do.

The main reason for entering the Universidad de Chile was to fulfill a dream of my mother. This dream was that one of her sons or daughters could enter the university that she always would/ dreamed of. Another important reason was to know the place of study that allowed my grandmother to be the first generation of women to enter to study Economy in Chile. A dream that unfortunately cut the militar dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.

 

The place I've always wanted to visit

The place I've always wanted to visit is the kingdom of Butan.

This is a country in Asia between India, Nepal and China. In this country it is practiced the budism and the work a lot the agriculture. It is a famous country because the most important thing is the happiness of poblation.

They use a big survey to evaluate the grade of happiness in 9 differents dimensions like work, use of time, religion, self esteem and another things. Many of the public policies put happiness above all things, for example the can't sell their forest to India because the happiness of nature it's more important than high economic development and they prohibit the entry of any tourist, limiting the number to a few. Another example, perhaps the most important, is the use of gross internal/national happiness to decide the political future of the country

I would like to study this country model for a while to know how to adapt it in Chile. I think is a role model for every country.

The best holidays in my life

The best place i've ever stayed was a little island in Ecuador called Portete island, this in the front on the Mompiche city. I went there in the summer of 2015 and I stayed there for a month.

I traveled initially with my best friend from the university, Nicolás, but three days after arriving he had to return to Chile. Later I was alone for four weeks but acompanied by the native people for the place. Once my friend left, the owner of the only hostel in the island asked me to work with him, because the experience of cutting coconuts, create a recycling system and serve the few visitors that arrived to the hostel I felt good and I pay for my stay.

I surfed, I visited the coasts of the island and met a lot of foreign people. I had the opportunity to build a wave breaker and to live with the daily of an island. It was a very enriching experience, I developed personally a lot and I started to trust in me being alone. Now the recycling system have my name and the owner always write to me sending good vibes.
I was loved Portete island, I would always return
