"I've talked about this before"

-

    Hi! I think I've talked about this before, but it's something I really like to talk about. 

    What I want to continue studying later, in the future. I would like to study, later on, in the future, Cultural Studies. Specifically, Cultural Anthropology, because it's a subject I like very much in anthropology.

    The main reason is to be able to give more relevance to native peoples in Chilean society. Especially, the peoples that are not identified as such. Although cultural studies are very varied, I would like to be able to study them closely, to show that the original peoples (exterminated by the Chilean and Argentine state) in Patagonia have not disappeared. The identity of these peoples is very important to me. 

    Even though I should study this subject in Chile (obviously because I want to study the people of this territory), the State does not give it the importance it deserves, so it becomes a neglected topic. I would like to study it in Chile, but also to study it at the University of Barcelona or to study in Mexico, I still find it difficult to think about that, it is difficult. It would be a pleasure for me to study in person, both to be able to study at other universities, as well as in other places. 

    What I want to work on has to be done in person. I hate armchair anthropologists. It would be a pleasure for me to study in person, both to be able to study at other universities, as well as in other places. What I want to work on has to be done in person. I hate armchair anthropologists. 

    For people who do not know what "armchair anthropologists" are, they are those anthropologists who want to study other cultures only from the theoretical point of view and do not move from their comfort zone to study something that should only be studied in the field. Don't be a "whatever" armchair anthropologist.

    That's a really good point, if you're working with people the best is go with the people and move to know better.

    I agree with your opinion. It's impossible to do anthropology from a desk without looking around. I hope you can do that master!

"Surprise, they're not sea spider"

     In my fourth blog, I will talk about one of my favorite animals: octopus.       The octopus is a marine animal with eight limbs, three hearts and a brain, however, it has no bones, it is an invertebrate. It is an animal that has many ways of escaping from its predators, given its limbs and its great intelligence. In addition to using his eight "arms", he also uses his ink tank to escape from his adversaries, such as marine predators or human predators. They feed on smaller animals, such as molluscs and algae.  Although it is assumed that they are sea spiders, because of their "eight arms", there are actually six arms and two legs, one of which is their reproductive organ that helps them to mate with females of the same species.       Personally, I love octopuses. Their shape, their skills and their varied species, are what catch my eye the most.  There are octopuses that, to escape their predators, camouflage themselves with their surroundings, clinging to ston

"The flapping of a butterfly's wings can cause a hurricane in another part of the world"

     Hello again, in this post, apparently the last one, I will talk about a topic that I love. It won't be the music this time. It will be a theory that I have been studying for almost 4 years: the "chaos theory" or better known as "the butterfly effect". The theory explains that every event can trigger even bigger events, giant consequences with other people, facts or things. Have you ever heard the phrase "everything happens for a reason", well, chaos theory would explain that premise.      How? Let's say I decide not to write this blog, my mark is deficient in English and I will have to repeat the course next semester, I will not have a free scholarship, therefore I will have to leave the university.       It ends up in uncontrollable events over time. This, on a small scale, is even more complicated when studying on a global scale, where everything that happens in Australia could have repercussions in Europe, how? who knows.The way to explain

"Hang the DJ"

     On my third post, I want to talk about something I really love, music. Although in the second post I already talked about something similar, I prefer to give a complete post to music in general.      Personally, it's one of the things that motivates me, keeps me happy or even makes me sad sometimes. I think that's the idea of music, that it transmits emotions. I can tell you that every day I listen to music, whatever it is.      Although I have many musical tastes, I always look for new wave, lo-fi, post-punk and what is known as "indie" music.  It's funny that the days when I don't listen to music (to read, to study, to do jobs, to cook or just to listen), are my worst days, bad things happen to me or I feel worse.      It has become a habit: to listen to music every day because makes me happy; at any time, at any moment, if there is music, I am happy. Even as I write this I'm listening to music, it's really something that became my day-to-day.
