Learning process

In sociology I think the mains skills needed are, first; that you like theorize about reality a lot, that you like reading complicated things, that if you get to understand them it’s really interesting, and second, you need to want something in your life related with studding and understand people behavior and history, in any of the different areas that this discipline offers you.

About this thing I’ve named, all of them I believe are learned skills, cause this things come about whit your life story, I mean they depend on all the process that you’ve pass trough and what you get from it, that’s what make your abilities and likes, and makes you develop skills in those subjects. This things makes you want something specifically in life. May be why is inborn and it also affect is the capacity to understand everything you are seeing trough your study and working years, I think that’s is just about intelligence… of course that we can discuss about if intelligence is inborn or its determine by other things…

About university, well I think its provide me with what it can provide, and that is knowledge about some particular subjects, but that is all. Certainly could upgrade in some aspects, like bad teachers, facilities, curricular schedule, etc. but the main purpose its full fill it. You learn only what you wanna learn, and the future, beside the foundations on your education, is up to you.


I don’t really know how to be prepared to future, in any aspect of life, including my study area… I am learning things here that didn`t know before, so I’m certainly most prepared now… but I guess we can’t stop and think about it too much, cause we lose the present! And it is all we got.

Well, when I’ve to think in a technological piece now on these days it came up almost automatically: pen drives with mp3 player!

They are so useful!! First, because you can transport all the information you need and download it any where you need, and second, because you can have your music on it! It’s a whole world of difference travel at the bus every day with or with out it; when you are not using it, you start to listen other conversation or start having all this psycho thoughts!!! My friends and I were just talking about it this morning! And we pretty much think the same; it is a great creation!

My first pendrive was really limited in space, it only have like 256 mb to save things! So it only can store like 10 songs! But any way, it was a big change, not having to carry all these CDs on your bag any more, a release!

After that I got a mp4, and that one got 2 gb, so it was a loooot more space, I can hardly full fill it! But then I decide to come back to mp3 (2gb too), because I never carry the mp4 cable with me, so that limited me a lot, and the mp3s doesn’t need one!

I used since 2006 or so, but I’m not an addict to it really, I mean it’s great, but sometime pass months and I don’t used, mostly cause I don’t change the music and it bores me… but when I feel like used, I do it every day!

Well, that’s my object… I think we kind of agree in this one!

Deep Blue


I’ll talk about a very nice place I`ve been here in Chile, it’s in the south, specifically tenth tenth region: “De Los Lagos”. The lake I’m talking about its “Llanquihue” , that in Mapudungún means sunken place, and it’s a super beautiful landscape.
I’ve been there three times I think! One at 2005 and two at 2006, the first time was with some friends and my brother, the second one with my family and the last time in a tour with my classmates of school.
When I went with my friends it was the time I get to kwon more places and enjoy more of the trip, cause the second one, whit my parents was all more hurry and don’t get to know the most special places, like outdoor kind of places. And the third time, well… when people go out in a school year trip, don’t worry so much about taking touristic walks… so, it was also beautiful like the two pass times, but didn’t enjoy it so much in that sense.
When I was there, I use to go for a swim in the lake often, I like a lot swimming in lakes, cause there are no waves and you can see much more underwater too. I also go to walk around, to see the villages around the whole lake and, well, also taste the local food, like Frutillar’s kuchens, or the beer of those places…
If I could resume to one thing why this is one of my favorites places, I’ll said that it is cause when I swamped there, I get to see the most deep blue color I’ve ever see, and I could never forgot that, despite that the following times I went there, I couldn’t see it so clear again.

now it´s right!

I´ll talk about www.wikisociales.cl
It may sound a little lazy to name this site but it’s for a good reason! This site that for sure everybody knows here it’s actually really useful for us, students. It is a site that emulates Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, but it’s only about issues within our faculty: text, resumes, transcription of classes from other years, good works of students from here, etc. This is all material that it’s very useful at the time we needed it. It’s great that we have this platform where we can share this knowledge that it’s very difficult to get in other ways. This whole idea of shared info it’s such a great thing because talks about our solidarity whit our similar…every one of us it’s been in this position of needing info for some classes or test. The site has a section for each career and each subject in particular, it also have forums, news, and things like that, the important it that you can upload thing that you may considered useful to.
I´ve actually visited limited times, but it have been really useful all the time I’ve used it.
I liked it, like I’d said, because it’s a great idea to share our material to anyone who may need it!

Downloading everything!

A really good website to visit its www.torrentz.com
I must warn you first that it’s not an interactive or interesting site itself, but it´s very useful! The page it´s about downloads trough a torrent program a whole kind of things; from movies to books or discographies of bands. I pretty much download everything I need from it; it had all kinds of varieties in what qualities maters to. I visit it every time I need something; lately I’ve been using it for download Lost latest chapters and although some discographies, like Queen´s greatest hits. When I had internet whit full speed I download a lot of movies, but I make sure first that they’re on DVD quality! I especially like this site because it`s great that there is free circulation of information and cultural material, it so much easy when its available to every one! (Well… everyone who have internet! I´ve suffer being without internet since January, so I can tell! It´s really bad… today everything its passing through this media, and we are really used to it). This is what I can say about this page… it´s more like a conjunction of different links to download everything you can imagine! Check it out! But you must have a torrent downloading program first, which you can get for free on the web to!
