Postgraduate Studie


Hello again, today I will talk about the postgraduate course that I would like to take in the future. 

 Well, I have always been interested in the area of Paleontology, but not for the dinosaurs. So, when a graduated from this University, I would like to take a master's degree in Paleontology for the moment at the Universidad Austral de Chile , specially because I would like to study paleoclimatology. This subject is important for me, because I´m actually studing archaeology, and my own objective is to understand How societies developed in the past, or Why they had that behavior thousands and thousands of years ago. So the climate is fundamental to understand the decisions that were made in the past and of course to understand the development of their culture. 

 This study programme has great teachers like Antonio Maldonado, who is a great paleoclimatologist. His studies have focused on the north of Chile, and now we know that 6000 years before the present, the hunter gatherers managed to include grains like quinoa to their food because the climate was favorable for their growth. Another thing that we know from his studies is that in the Atacama desert there was a very very wet period, and obviously it was not a desert. In based of this findings, I would like take a master´s degree in Paleontology to do similar research like Antonio Maldonado, however in the south of Chile specifically in Patagonia region, because I know that thousands years ago, in that area didn´t rain and it wasn´t  green as it is now.

 I would like to study in the Faculty of Science, which is located in Valdivia and this program and I would have to go live there.

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
