I choose this career and this university on purpose, and I don't  regret it. Also  I don't have a great knowledge of the functioning of the university.  In this sense,  it's possible that many of the things that I would like to change from the degree of sociology in Universidad de Chile are very difficult to do or simply the result of my ignorance about the internal logic of the university.    With all of this in mind,  I personally think it would be a good idea to change the total length of the university career. This is because five years, counting the two research works and the work practice, are really long, and it might be possible to shorten it a year as it is already done in other parts of the world. For me the curriculum is quite complete, however perhaps it would be better if there were more specialization courses. In this way students could focus more time on the specific area of sociology that interests them.  When it comes to infr...

   If I could travel back in time I would like to go to ancient egypt, this is  because since I was a child I have found fascinating the history, the architecture, the sculpture, and all the relics that are preserved until the present time of ancient Egypt.    The exact date in which I would like to go is difficult to say, according to historians the time of greatest splendor of the Egyptian civilization was in the so-called XVIII dynasty, and it happened between the years 1575 and 1295 BC.  Based on this I would like to travel back in time a little over three thousand years ago.      It's difficult to answer the question of whether I would like to stay there or not.  Without being an expert, I imagine that at that time there was a rigid social structure in which I would most likely have to work in very difficult conditions or even conditions of slavery. I t would also be very interesting to be able to interact with an egpicium of t...

Although it is very difficult and unlikely, I think it would be interesting to be a professional diver for a while. As far as I know, the most common work occupations of a diver have to do with the construction and maintenance of submarine installations, works linked to the exploitation of natural resources, and scientific research. I have never dived in my life, however I think it must be awesome the sensation of being and moving under the water for a long time, and of course must be a difficult activity in which it takes a lot of concentration and practice. In that sense, I think to be a professional diver you must need a very good physical condition, a great management of the diving technique, a great management of the diving equipment, good swimming ability, among many other things. On the other hand, I have the impression that it must be quite dangerous to be a professional diver, because depending on which sea or ocean this work is done, there must be the possibility of ...

In 2014 I went to Mexico with my family. We stayed for two weeks and visited Mexico City, Morelia and a Pacific beach called Ixtapa Zihuatanejo. In Mexico City we walked through the historic center, toured the Plaza de la Constitucion, visited the cathedral, some museums and the university city (UNAM).   Then we went to Morelia and visited the historical center of the city, which is very well preserved and is very beautiful. Finally we went to the Ixtapa Zihuatanejo, where we did long bike tours and enjoyed the spectacular beach. It was eight years ago, however I remember with much affection the Mexican people, his way of speaking and accent, the food, the architecture of the cities, among many other things that I loved. I think Mexico is one of the best places I have visited, I always speak very well of this country to everyone, and I would love to be able to come back soon and visit the many places I have not gone.

     Vietnam is one of the countries I would like to visit the most. I think this is simply because I am attracted to how different this country is compared to Chile in many ways.       This country has a hard and interesting recent history, marked by the colonization and aggressions of France, Japan and the USA. This also allowed the development of a very complex cultural mix in the country.       On the other hand it has a unique gastronomy, a special architectural mix, a frenetic and fun city life, spectacular landscapes and biodiversity, among many other things.      I would really love to visit the main cities of all the country, such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh,  also visit the jungle and beaches, especially the Ha-Long Bay, and of course visit the museums, temples and palaces.      For me it would be very interesting to have the opportunity to work for a while in the country, this would al...
