Wednesday strike

The activity that we participated on Wednesday was the first day of creation of statutes for the students’ organization from social work. I am part of the career student center called ''mesa coordinadora interina'', so my participation was very important for the other people who are also part of that, because we have been organizing this instance since March. Also the presence and the opinion from all the students were so much necessary for get a real participative and autonomous work.   I think there were few students from social work because, in first, the career, like all the careers of all universities, gives too much academic load, so we have a lot to read and study, and some classmates use all the classless time to do their works, even the strike, and in second, because these activities don’t motivates them yet. Regard to the strike I think I have contributed very little this year, because in general it doesn't make me sense, to put it more simply, I

The last paper i read

The last paper I read was one for Sociological Theory II. This paper is called ‘’the action theory’ and it is written by Talcot Parsons, who is a North American sociologist. The teacher recommended this paper to us because in this semester we are going to learn more deeply about sociology, but sincerely I didn’t understand anything of the paper.

Study idea

My name is Dominique Aravena, student of social work at University of Chile. A research field that interests me is house programs. I would like to study how the streets constructions or the streets fixes affect the people who live near, focus in the irritating sounds and the visual prolusion that it produce, that stress and probably make depression to the neighbors, especially in the vulnerable areas of the city. I am interested in this problem because it happens very often in my ex neighborhood. I think this will contribute to house programs because maybe this will make programs more respectful and conscious with the people and their daily life.
