Blog 8: A subject you enjoyed studying this semester

One theme that I enjoyed very much this semester was "indigenous peoples of today: new approaches, new challenges". This course is a general training course (CFG) and is taught in the Faculty of Economic and Business Sciences, I loved this course because the teacher taught differently, each time at the beginning of the class put songs from different artists and then commented anecdotes or important things about the artist he placed. He also taught the importance of recognizing indigenous peoples and how the state of Chile has not treated them in a good way, because they are repressed and seen as terrorists. The teacher also taught us the basic concepts of the Mapuche worldview and made us reflect on our spirituality and what is unjust and what is not.
I totally recommend that CFG, because it teaches a lot and inspires to try to change the injustices of the minorities. And although it is just a general training course, it has been the chair that has most marked me.

The professor of chair, Claudio Millacura.

March for the rights of the indigenous peoples.

Blog 7: A Career-Related Website

My favorite website related to the Public Administration is the Library of the National Congress of Chile 

The link of this website is: https://www.leychile.cl/Consulta/homebasico

This site has the latest laws that have been published, apart from several there is a tab where you can find the history of the congress, the observatory, the civic law apart from seeing the bills in process, one can find the law that you want . I really like this page because the laws are updated and you feel safe when you get information from there. This site also has an application for the cell phone. I usually occupy it when I have to do work or study a law for the branch of normative framework, lately I have occupied it a lot, and I like it because the information is up to date and reliable, also because it has removed great doubts and is very useful.

Another web site that I like, is Scielo: Scientific electronic library online

The link of this website is: https://scielo.conicyt.cl/

It`s an electronic library that includes, a selected collection of Chilean scientific journals, in all areas of knowledge.

The project aims to develop a common methodology for the preparation, storage, dissemination and evaluation of scientific literature in electronic format. On this website you can find documents that are very useful for research work. I like it because there is variety and I usually use it as I said before, when I will look for research documents, especially of political science. I highly recommend it, apart from the academic google and the scientific documents website of the university.

Blog 6: My favorite Movie

I don´t have a favorite movie, because i like many, but two of the ones I like the most.

The firs is: Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), the movie has images in a row.
Riggan Thomson is a faded American actor who is famous for playing the superhero Birdman in a film trilogy 20 years ago. He is tormented by the mocking and critical internal voice of Birdman and frequently visualises himself performing feats of levitation and telekinesis. Birdman as an alter ego of Riggan and the movies is very interesting, also his soundtrack is very good and have many Oscars nomination. My favorite characters is the protagonist Riggan, because is a complex characters that ever is thinking and questioning himself about how  focus in his project.

The seconds movies is: The Shutter Island this film is a 2010 American neo-noir psychological thriller. Edward "Teddy" Daniels and his new partner, travel to the Ashecliffe Hospital for the criminally insane on Shutter Island in Boston Harbor. They are investigating the disappearance of patient Rachel, who was incarcerated for drowning her three children. I really like this movie because when you see it you don´t know what to think, it is made to confuse you, and make you believe that what happens to the protagonist is real. Also I love Leonardo Dicaprio and his character, because reality it works very well and seriously you can get in his despair while the movie his running.

Blog 4: Bread and Roses

Hello, in this opportunity I am going to comment about the movie from 2000 Bread and Roses, directed by Ken Loach.
This movie is very interesting because it presents a real  story, and the changes of paradigms  for immigrants workers and every exploited workers that fight for their rights.
The movie examines critically the inequality of USA, the lack of social security in health also the low salaries.

My favorite character is Ruben, friend of Maya, because he wants to go to the University and he saved money so he can do it. I like him because, although he is an ilegal immigrant he fight for his dream and also for the social fight of Janitors.

I liked how the workers begin to organized because Sam convinced them to do it. Also how the Mexican talk whit them in Spanish and English in the same time.
I didn't like the deportation of Maya, but anyway  I like the end of the movie.

My favorite scene is when happened the discussion of Maya whit her sister Rosa, because the scene was very emotional and realist and also when they won the rights while they were detained, because their happiness is very beautiful and there was hugs and cry for their achievements.
