Santiago

Santiago from my study program's point of view




For most people Santiago was founded with Pedro de Valdivia in 1541, and since then, it has only been a great city that every day has more buildings and shelter more and more people, becoming the most populated city in Chile. However, from our perspective, the history of Santiago begins many years before, as well as that of many other places.

Many investigations have shown evidence of different prehispanic cultural groups, for example in the high mountain range, specifically in the Cajón del Maipo, there is evidence of hunter-gatherers, who were characterized by having a great handling of lithic artifacts and hunting animals for their survival.

Other cultural groups are Bato, llolleo and Aconcagua, who cultivated veggies and produced their own pottery. Therefore, through archeology, it can be said that Santiago has a great history, which goes beyond what we know so far, and there are many archaeological sites that show it, such as: Catedral de Santiago, Lenka Franulik, Estación Quinta Normal, Pique Europa, El Mercurio, Cerro Chena.

For these reasons, our study program has enabled us to understand that the history of Santiago is something particular and that it does not only begin with the European arrival.

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

Imagen
Hello again, today I will write about what changes I would make to my study program. Well, I study Anthropology with mention in Archaeology and recently a group of teachers modified the study plan. However, I believe that the changes they made will generate a very large academic overload.  Although, the content of the subjects is the correct one for the development of the career, these are very difficult. For that reason I think that I would leave the old subjects that were difficult but I could combine them with less academic load.  These changes would be appropriate with the 5 year duration of the career and it would not mean that the new students will become machines of knowledge. In relation to the buildings, I think it's necessary to remodel the old classrooms, libraries and bathrooms, as well as include more structures that are inclusive to all people who wish to study in this faculty. This is essential so that students can count on safe and comfortable areas to study

How to be "Team Human" in the digital future.

Hello again, today I will talk about the monologue in the Video "How to be Team Human in the digital future. In the fist part, I answer the question: What are the main ideas in the Video?, and then: talk about what say Douglas Rushkoff about the evolution of technology and human being. I think that the main idea of the video has to do with a critique of how we think about the future, and based on this, gives different arguments about how the collective human imagination think that the future will be. He named what is the true role of social media, that in his position these platforms don´t connect people, however social networks are predicting our future behavior. Also, he says that all technology and digital initiatives are in favor of humans, but at the end they are anti-human. This is important to understand the second part, because for Douglas Rushkoff, the evolution of human, is based on a collaborative and communicative behavior, because we have a language and techno

Hello again, today I will talk to you why I chosse my programme carrear. when I was a kid, I wanted to be a fire woman, because   I have always liked the action, but also I like to play with dirt.  However, the first idea changes with the time, and I wanted to be a agronomist, because the plants and the earth it was my passion. None   of this happened. Then, when I was in high school, I didn´t know what I wanted to study, so I chose the programme that included the study of the society, and my options were social work, sociology, and psycology. Finally I chose Antropology with mention in Archaeology, because I liked to study the past society through the different lines of evidences available, like a propetty, lithics or rock art, and I can mix it with my girl games, because the archaeological practices takes place in the field, when excavate the earth, and found cultural materials, like the projectile point in the picture. This career attracted me, because I can mix two th
