Firstly i'm going to tell about my general experience with the english. Really, i don't enjoy English because in the college, i was given to choose the language: English, French or German, and i chose French. For this reason my English is very basic. Now I come to think of it, I believe that to choose french was a bad decision...
Despite the above, my blogging experience is good, because although it is difficult for me, is a good way to practice the writting. All languages are learned in the practice, then write in the blog all weeks, allows exercise the grammar, the spelling, the coherence in a text, etc.
Also, the blog allow think in differents topics: everyday life issues and academic topics. Besides, i think that is good that the students work in your blogs in the class because they can clarify doubts with the teacher.
Moreover, the blog is good because is really diffrent to write in a piece of paper and to write in a computer. This second option is better because for example, this exercise is very difficut for me, then I need complement my knowledge base with www.wordreference.com, even sometimes with google translator
Finally, really i think that this practice has helped me improve my English. Now the challenge is to improve oral English
I would like to work in some art group. Really i would like to work in the art group TUP. This group is a interdisciplinary team (historian, anthropologist,sociologist and visual artists) that do art actions in the city. The intention is to generate a closer relation between the art and the society. Then, they come to a neighborhood and they propose to people an art exercise .The people of neighborhood accept this propose and begins an intense collective work, a relation of collaboration and learning between art group and the people of neighbordhood.
This group art is interdisciplinary because it search that the artistic experience is a learning experience, a reflective experience of their reality, its past and present. For that reason, they work a social memory, the historical memory. Then the artistic work should be combined with the knowledge (Theory and methodology)of history and social science like sociology.
But,I don't think i can live only art actions, I have a second option: Work in a "National Council of Culture and the Arts". I think that the cultural institutions don't have a lot of development still, then is very important that the sociology must be in charge this topic.
I love both jobs because would be providing expertise from sociology to the cultural field. I think that the cultural development is very important for a country or society in general, them i would like contribute to this development.
This picture is a memory of last summer of my travel with my boyfriend to Mexico. In Mexico City we visited the home of Frida Kahlo, that was very entertaining and nice. In the house were many foreign objects, like giant puppets, many handicraft of Mayan and Aztec including a small pyramid...
In the patio was this sheet metal... Then,we placed in the right place and another tourist take a picture. At bottom is a reflection beacuse we don't was in this windows, but this photograph creates this illusion.
I love it this picture because creates this illusion. Although I don't know if we are alike to Frida and Diego, but at least, seems that we are in this windows.
All tourists have a photo like this, Why not us?
In the Faculty of Social Sciences there are different stereotypes: THE HIPPIES, BITTER, RURALS, SNOBS, POLITICIAN....
For example, the hippies are a group composed mainly by anthropologists. They have a relaxed style and wearing colorful. But there's 2 types differents of hippies: the really hippies and hippie-snob. The really hippies are guys who all his life was hippies, they are untidy and even they have stink. Currently, this type is almost non-existent in the faculty. There are only a few. In change, the hippie-snob is mayority group from the faculty. They are blonds guys and they use wool vest. They come from families with money, and were in a good school.
The bitter is a group composed mainly by sociologists. They think on the negative side of things and they are constantly criticizing the world, theories, teachers.
The Politician are students who are part of political groups: Auonomous, Praxis, Collective Platform and Communist Youth. They are constantly in meetings and they don't have time to study. I always see them painting posters reporting on marches, rallies, demonstrations.
I do not belong to any of those stereotypes!!!!
