Blog 5: My future Job

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 (whether by plane or bus), but I think it's necessary to broaden my horizons, to establish new relationships, to be able to see the world more broadly. 

Given this and reconsidering all my fears and uncertainties, is the salary I get in the future relevant? Because of the problems, at this point in my life I do care about the salary. With a good salary I would be able to support my family and allocate money for my mother's health.

If you noticed, the job I am referring to is the job of a sociologist, why did I study this career?

I am studying sociology because I love to study what is presented to us every day and how it affects and contributes to us. I love being able to critique what has been, what endures, what is, and what may come; but this wisdom that is given to me I don't want to keep it to myself. I study sociology because I want others to love what I love, I want them to love knowledge, to care about social relations and how they affect us to such an extent that we are nothing without them, I want the knowledge I am consuming to be replicated in society. I am not asking to change the world, I am asking to encourage a person who feels in the middle of nowhere, disconnected from society, even alienated from it.

    I think it's complicated for us as students to decide about our future job, there are so many things to worry right now that we don't have much time to think about it.

    I also feel overwhelmed, with that question, it is difficult to think of an ideal job in the face of so much uncertainty that studying a social science brings us

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 4: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Image
  "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is a 1975 film directed by Milo 'Forman, which is the adaptation of the novel -of the same name- written by Ken Kesey. It is very complex to summarize the film because I get excited just thinking about it, so I will present you the beginning, the main plot of this beautiful story.  A criminal named Randle McMurphy is transferred to a psychiatric hospital because he did not comply with the orders of his bosses in a prison farm. Upon entering the institution he is directed to talk to the director of the psychiatric hospital, who summarizes his criminal history. But, despite his criminal history, Randle was forced to live in a psychiatric hospital merely because he did not comply with the commands of his bosses and not because of his psychiatric condition (that condition never existed since he did not suffer from any disorder, syndrome, etc.). When he was admitted, he had to experience a new daily life before a psychiatric institution ...
