Blog 4: Soccer passion of crowds

Soccer is one of my favorite hobbies without a doubt, as I like to practice it and also watch it.

However, when I got into college, I stopped playing and watched it less often, since student’s

duties and long commutes to college took most of my free time . In the context of a pandemic, I

have resumed this hobby, which has been necessary to face the academic and social stress that we

are going through.

The positive thing about this is being able to see Deportes Melipilla in the first division after 13

years of absence, which has been very gratifying. The most important victory that Deportes

Melipilla has had this year has been against Universidad Católica, the current champion and one of

the participants in la Copa Libertadores, which makes the victory even more valuable. The negative

one is that this Saturday, Deportes Melipilla, suffered the worst defeat of the tournament against

Deportes La Serena by 5 to 1, which saddened me. This weekend I was able to see the Champions

League finals between Chelsea and Manchester City. The result was 1 to 0 in favor of Chelsea,

which made me happy, as N'Golo Kanté plays for the Chelsea, a humble player, who overcame

poverty and who has maintained his humility, despite being a star.

In short, I like football, because it is a door for people with limited resources to rise above their

limitations and a small team can beat the more powerful ones.

POST 3.Topic: Themed/Free post - career related

I decided to study sociology because it is an interesting career and within my options it was the career with the highest possibilities of employability. The interesting thing about studying this career is that it allows you to analyze various texts and authors with different philosophical perspectives. Doing this exercise is very complex and at the same time challenging, although entertaining. I really like to read Marx, both in his young stage and in his maturity phase, mainly focused on the economic area, which enshrines him through the text Capital, which is currently rigorously analyzed by various specialists. Among the benefits of studying sociology, is that, with the strikes and demonstrations that have taken place in Chile, sociologists have been highly required to establish various analysis, whose primary goal have been to reflect and criticize the economic model applied in Chile during the military dictatorship from the 70s and 80s, which have caused the employability of this discipline to rise. Another benefit of having studied sociology is that I have been able to develop a critical thinking of society, and a better understanding social phenomenon.

Blog Post 2: Best holidays/concert you've ever been to

 San Antonio, in Chile's fifth region

The last time I went on vacation, I went to San Antonio, in Chile’s fifth region. I made this trip with my mom in the first week of August 2019 and we had a great time on that over there. When we got to San Antonio, the first thing we did was tour the city. we went through downtown San Antonio, then we went to the cove and saw the sea lions take their dip in the water, it was fun. Also, we went through an alley that led to a restaurant to eat fried fish, since back at home we do not eat fish frequently. Once lunch was over, we decided to go to Punta de Tralca, since it is a quiet place to walk and bathe. After that, we decided to go to Cartagena, since it is an architecturally interesting place, located among the hills, whose church is really beautiful, which it is in front of the main square of said city. Once the tour of Cartagena was finished, we decided to return to San Antonio to have some tea and go eat cheese empanadas, which were the best we have ever had. Hopefully I can repeat this instance, once this Covid-19 pandemic is over.
