Blog 1: A country you would like to visit


Definitively I would like to visit Mexico. I believe I've had this idea for about 4 years, so I am really interest and exited with the opportunity to travel to this country someday. 

I think what interests me most about Mexico is its culture, mainly the traditions relad to "Day of the Dead", because this day is celebrated in a very different way than in Chile. In addition to this, Mexico has beautiful landscapes such as beaches and cenotes, I really like the places nearby water as sea, river, or lake for example, these places are truly relaxing. Finally, another reason what I would like to visit Mexico is because of its pre-Columbian history. Human groups such as the Aztecs and Mayas settled in this territory, and there are remains of them, such as pyramids. 

I know little about Mexico, mainly because of movies, series or generalities that are said about the country, so if I get to go to Mexico, I would like to try with the least amount of prejudice to learn as much as possible about the culture and its people. However, it could be affirmed that in the territory currently occupied by Mexico in pre-Columbian times, cultures considered as "great civilizations" such as the Mayas and Aztecs settled in the area. In this context is that in Mexico the maya ruins known as: Chichén Itzá, are considered a wonder of the world. 

For now, I think I would like to visit the country as a tourist to get to know the tourist attractions in a calm manner. In this sense. I would really like to know the beaches of Cancun, Chichén Itzá, and some cenotes. However, I am not closed to the possibility of going to study a postgraduate degree in Mexico.

    I love Mexico! It is a place with an important cultural richness, plus its people are very nice. Mexican food looks delicious but very spicy, I would like to eat tamales sometime.

Post 4: Time travel to the past

Being able to travel back in time sounds like something that would happen in a movie or a science fiction book, so I guess I've never really stopped to think seriously about it. However, I think I would prefer to travel back in time for now. It is really interesting to me the idea of traveling far into the past and being able to see live the historical events that I have read about in history books. To be part of the first ships and ocean voyages, to see the French revolution or the independence of Chile. However, I think what I would be most interested in seeing in my trip to the past would be those events that are not documented in history, I would like to see how the first humans lived in Latin America before the arrival of the Europeans, to see the fauna and flora, how the landscapes have changed. It is a very nice idea to be able to live an experience like this, to be part of historical events that are not very famous in order to understand them better, and in this way under...

How Can Your Major Make the World a Better

  I am studying anthropology, I think one of the reasons why I chose this career is because since I discovered its existence I thought it was the way in which I could make a contribution to society. I consider that motivation and vocation are the most important things to be able to make a contribution with the work I will do in the future, and I hope that anthropology will allow me to do so. I believe that anthropology in essence allows us to expand our way of seeing the world, allows us to put ourselves in the place of the other, and indeed to be more empathetic with others. It is from empathy, I believe, that changes can be initiated; it is vital to understand the ways in which others live in order to be able to help them effectively. In the case of archaeology, I really like the idea of being able to reconstruct the past, and give voice to many events, people, groups that have been ignored until now. In short, anthropology provides multiple tools to understand others in a resp...

A subject I enjoy studying

  Astronomy is one of my favorite subjects to study, this is a science that studies the celestial bodies of the universe such as planets, satellites, comets and asteroids. It is also interested in interstellar matter such as stars, nebulae, galaxies and dark matter. Perhaps one of the most interesting topics studied is related to extraterrestrial life. In short, astronomy is the science of the physical universe at the macro level that studies the events that occur in it. Since I was very young, I had always liked mathematics and when I entered high school, they started to teach us Physics. From the first moment I was fascinated with the physical explanations about how the world worked, but unfortunately at school we never got to pass subjects related to astronomy. So, in the summers, due to my enchantment with physics, I started to research and learn a lot about astronomy, until in the summer of 2017 I took a "Planetary Sciences" course. From that I fell in love with the su...
