My career

Hello, for today I'm going to talk about my career. How some people know, I study social anthropology because i want to be ethnomusicologist. For this specialization I could choose between two careers, musicology and anthropology. I like musicology but I think that with anthropology I can contribute much and learn more about others interesting topics. Like archeology and physical anthropology. And the anthropology give me more instruments for my futures scientifics studies.


For definition, anthropology is a social science and should help, for example, in the socials studies and in the socials conflictes. In the first example, the anthropology have a work duties most defined that the second example. The anthropology even today is very unknown for the general people. and this is because out of academic work duties, the anthropology don't have a work duties defined, and we can find anthropologist in differents works, like public employee, teachers, consultant's office, travel agency, etc.

For my academic instruction, the most important is dominate the qualitative method, specifically the ethnographic method, because is the most characteristic activity of anthropologist. And the method ethnographic implicate the knowledge of differents techniques like interview, focus group, participated observation, etc.

I don't have a favorite subject, but I like when I read things about folklore or popular culture. I like very much that sometimes the class produce insteresting discussion about different topics. And I think that the discussion is a very important element in the academic instruction.

The 3rs, reduce, reuse, recycle.

Hello, for today I'm going to answer three questions: 

• how much did you know about the 3rs?

I don't know very much, I heard about this topic in the school, but never depthed in the topic.

• how much do you do?

Really, I don't do very much... I don't participate in some group or association in favour of the ecology or recycle. I think that my participation is more expressive in daily things like ...I don't know,  I try to use always only one clothing bag, but sometimes I forget it. Also, I try to recycle paper, I gift my old photocopy, this may sound stupid but is very big the number of photocopy that one student produce, specially social scientist student.

• how relevant do you find this topic?

I think is very importan, because actually the world is suffering great changes because of human, and this changes is affecting all tipe of life in the world, because all is connecting and the changes in the climate, for example, produce the extinction of differents species. 

Something you'd like to learn

Hello, for today I'm going to talk about my interest and the things that I would like to learn.

I am interested in very different things. For example in relation of my career I would like to learn more abaut  etnomusicology and popular culture in the central zone and south of chile. That is the reason because I study social anthropology. But I would like to learn more about neurological process or phenomenom like synesthesia, ASMR, etc. And this is most relation with physics anthropology and psychology.

I would like to learn more about drawing, in special comic style. When I was younger, very litle, I remember to draw all the time, I was very good for my age (7 or 8 years) but in my teens I left and I never return to draw with the same regularity. I think that I will should to start to draw more.

Other  topic that I would like to learn more, is about dance. I know... I am very awful to dance, but I like a lot, and I think it will very unexpected if I dance good in a some moment. Because I am famous in my family for dance bad... yes, that is so sad :( but I don't care, I will learn to dance good.

And that is all for today.
