Blog 1: A country you would like to visit

Imagen
  Hello everyone! One of the countries I would like to visit is Italy, because I’ve always liked the architecture of its cities like Florence, as well as the art and food of the country. What I know about Italy is that it is a country recognized worldwide for its gastronomy in pasta and pizza. It is also famous for its tourist attractions such as the great canal of Venice, the Colosseum in Rome, the Tower of Pisa, the archaeological parks of Naples, the Arch of Peace in Millan, the islands and paradisiacal beaches, among others. So there are many beautiful places that we can find in this wonderful country. If I could go to Italy, I would like to live in that country for a while, because then I could visit the museums that are located throughout the Italian territory, such as "the Vatican Museums" where you can find works of Renaissance artists or the "Galleria dell'Accademia" in Florence, among others. In this way I could get to know the art and history of...

POST 8: A SUBJECT YOU'VE ENJOYED STUDYING THIS SEMESTER

Imagen
  One of the courses I have enjoyed studying has been a general training course (GTC) called "Strategic analysis of socio-environmental conflicts. What does the case of Quintero Bay teach us”. This it’s a course that is being taught by 6 professors from the fields of law and health. Mainly, what we have seen in class is the analysis of the socio-environmental conflict of Quintero and Puchuncaví, which has been approached from a transdisciplinary perspective and visualizing the impacts that pollution has generated on people's health due to intoxication from industrial pollutants, and also how it has caused damage to the environment, where we have seen how the community has lost resources to work due to water pollution by industries, which has seriously affected the fishing sector. Environmental issues have always been of interest to me and learning from this course has been very rewarding, because it’s important to be able to coexist equally with the environment and always en...

BLOG POST 6: How can your major make the world a better place

  The public administration career is very important to make the world a better place because it’s responsible for coordinating the relationship between the state and citizens to contribute to the common welfare of citizens. This relationship can be given through public services. It’s also responsible for managing state resources to provide quality services to citizens through public policies to meet the needs of citizens in areas related to health, education, security, environment, among others. In the future, I see myself working properly to be able to help people and contribute to the common welfare of citizens, working together with my future colleagues to create public policies and to be able to solve the daily problems that arise to the residents of the country, taking care of their welfare.

POST 5: A PHOTOGRAPH AND ITS STORY

Imagen
  I like this picture a lot. It was taken in the Santa Lucia hill in 2019 before the pandemic started. At that time my friends and I liked to go out to walk around several places in Santiago, it was a nice day to remember, there was a lot of laughter and many funny moments. When we got to the top of the hill we asked a young woman if she could take a picture of all of us together and she kindly accepted, however, in the other picture you can see her boyfriend unexpectedly appearing into the picture, which was very funny at that time. I chose these photographs because through it I could remember a nice moment lived with my friends, which has become very complicated now because of the pandemic. However, when the pandemic is over I hope to walk around Santiago with them again.

Post 3: My Favorite Piece of Technology.

Imagen
Hello, today I will talk about my favorite technology. Well actually more than favorite is the technology that I use the most during the day and I’m talking about the cell phone. It's a very practical device, from which we can make calls, video calls, send text messages to our family and friends to keep us in communication, we can also take pictures, record videos and many other things included in its functions. In addition, it doesn’t have a large size which allows us to keep it in our pockets or backpacks and that makes it easier and more comfortable to carry when we go out or when we travel to other places. I use my cell phone to stay in communication with my family and my friends, to check the messages and all the things for the university, to listen to music, read books, watch videos in YouTube and sometimes to watch some series or anime. Every day I use it for about 6 to 7 hours but the truth is that I don't like to use the cell phone much, because it’s a device that di...

Post 2: Why did I Choose my Major?

Imagen
Hello! I'm studying Public Administration at the University of Chile. I decided to study this career because I have always been interested in being able to help and contribute to the welfare of citizens. However, when I was a child I dreamed of being a painter or even a veterinarian, so that I could help cure the dogs that were on the streets, but in the end I realized that biology or anything related to medicine was not my thing. However, when I was in high school my other study options were Forestry Engineering and Architure. Finally I decided to study Public Administration because this career has a very interesting field of work as it is quite broad. I have been studying Public Administration online for 2 years due to the covid-19 pandemic, which has been quite exhausting and stressful, since I miss being able to share with my friends or my classmate and of course the face-to-face dialogue with professors.
