Blog 3: The Pandemic Uncertainty

  •  How have you and your family coped with this quarantine?

It is difficult to say how I have faced it with my family because during this time a lot of things have happened inside my home. 

During the month of April 2020 we had covid, fortunately it was not so difficult to overcome it but it remains in the retina to know that no matter how much you take care of yourself this can reach your home because of unconsciousness, ignorance, social inequality, etc.

Personally, the confinement opened childhood wounds because of the feeling of being locked up and not being able to get out. For a year it was very difficult to keep my heart strong. Now, at present, I am used to the confinement but it hurts me what is happening day by day.

  • Can it be an opportunity to improve as a society?

This is complex. I feel it can unite us by the support and fight to keep us stable and safe from contagion. For example, based on social inequalities and disgusting governmental measures, there have been raffles, common pots, among other popular actions for support among neighbors of scarce resources.

On the other hand, we may be fragmented as a society by the stupidity of some who continue to think that this is an invention of the elites who seek to control those who do not think, stupidity that does not take measures to take care of themselves or those close to them. Affecting, in a gratuitous way, those who seek to take care of themselves at all costs.

I do not condemn those who go out on the streets to take a break from their home environment, I condemn those who have the economic means and social means to have a full life within their homes and yet go out carelessly. I condemn those who, because of their opulence, think that the distribution of wealth, of social goods, the quality of health, is horizontal throughout the country and do not think about the rest.

I don't know if this is an opportunity to improve as a society.

  • What activities have you rediscovered?

Lately I have felt a great call to musical composition. 

  • Have your studies become a problem?

Yes and no. They have become a problem because they have me anxious, collapsed, tired and discouraged; it is difficult to lead a university life in a situation like this. In conjunction with the above, it has not been a problem because studying takes me out of the monotony of not knowing what to do when I am stressed out for so long.

  • Are you optimistic or pessimistic about the pandemic?

With all the things that have happened during this time I prefer to take this with "moderation".

Blog 7: Changes to my Study programme

 Hello to all.  As you see from the title, this blog will be about the Sociology degree syllabus. Given that, there would be a few things I would add to the content being taught.  On the one hand, I would like to see reflections on the concept of postmodernity implemented. Our career is focused on a sociology of modernity but we are not informed much about the concept of postmodernity and why it generates so much controversy. On the other hand, I would add a short course on politics or political philosophy to give you a good grounding in the currents of thought that influence sociology today. Along with that, I would reinforce a little more about the programming courses that are taught. At first, I would delve into the theoretical aspects of programming. In a second moment, I would delve into programming as such. However, the socioeconomic factor is an important factor when deciding whether the course should last longer or not, given that it is very expensive. My career l...

BLOG 8: ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

 Hello everyone. My English experience has been varied, I have suffered and enjoyed it. The truth is that despite all the support from the teachers, I have not been able to learn English. It's hard for me and it's something that eats away at my head. In spite of that, I am very grateful for the instances that I have gone through in the English courses. Regarding the blogs, I think it is an opportunity to get to know yourself as well as your peers, but in English. I have been feeling very bad for a few weeks, and even though blogging can be a nuisance (sometimes), it has helped me to unburden myself of more personal issues. English will be on my path for the rest of my life, and it is very necessary, and I will have to learn to deal with it and move forward. My fluency, listening, writing and vocabulary need to be strengthened but starting from 0. For that, I think I will take an English course in the future -even if I have to invest in it-, since I have nothing to learn with (D...

Blog 5: My future Job

Image
If someone were to ask me "What is my dream job?" "Where would I like to work?" Unfortunately I don't know what kind of job I would like to have, I could not answer this question. I am very overwhelmed at the moment; I think that my job will be a misfortune in which I will fail or that the work situation will overwhelm me. I have been trying to approach this issue in a lighter way, but it takes me time.  All I ask is that it be a job that allows me to think and be in it, without feeling like there is a gun pointed at my head. I want it to be a job that stimulates me to be able to do my best. Now, if I were given the opportunity to choose where to work, I would like to work outdoors, but I would not like to work in solitude. I imagine that my work, if the life of a sociologist flows in me, will always be in conjunction with other people. So, regarding the future of work, would I like to travel a lot in my work? Well, I don't know, I'm afraid to travel (wh...
