My Blog experience

Hi people, now to close my blog, for that today I will talk about my experience writing it. I think that writing this blog has helped me to express myself better in English, I think it is a good way to learn another language, since one has to learn to look for the words that serve to express what you speak daily in your native language. But what I would like more is for the blog to be creating a character, I do not like talking about my life so much, because it is very boring, so I would prefer more than to make a blog about your experiences, create stories of a fictional character.

I would have liked to write the life of a demon who works for the devil or an elephant locked in a zoo or a stray dog ​​in the central station. This would make classes more interesting and creative, also helping us to develop the language.

I've never really written a blog in my life, it is difficult for me to express myself with words even in my native language and the experience was not as difficult as I thought. One can talk about anything! It does not matter if it's interesting or not, in the end it's good to express yourself no matter if someone reads you or not.

Who is a person/expert on your field that you admire?

Helloo, today I have to talk about my favorite anthropologist. One of the people who most interest me is Margared Mead.

Margared Mead es una antropologa estadounidense, la cual se desempeña dentro de lo que se conoce como antropologia culturalista. She was born in Philadelphia in 1901, her father was a university professor, and her mother a social activist. She graduated in 1923 from Barnard College and became known in 1925 for his field work in Polynesia.

I find this author very important for her age because of the fact that she questioned the biologistic idea about the division of labor by gender. At this time it was believed that the sexual division of labor was justified in the biological differences of each sex, the woman had to work in the private and the man in the public. After all the research done by Mead to other cultures, she demonstrated the varied divisions of work that existed.

Currently there are still many people who continue with the idea of ​​biological determinism, which is why I think it is important to remember this expert.

Introduction to etnography

Hi, today i come to talk of my favorite subject in this semester, that it is call introduction to etnography.  The objetive of this subject is learn what is, and how does etnografy, for that, in one week in this semester all students have travell to a some place in chili and studing a some people with etnografy method.  In the begining of this subjet diferent teachers gave us theoretical classes on the ethnographic method and its different complications. After the week on the ground all classes are laboratories in which we have to organize the information collected, for later, make a video in wich we show our work.

Some of the content we learned was the idea of the importance of carnival as an expression of the popular culture of Mijail Batjin. This was very helpful in our work, since we went to invesigate the religious festival of a small town in the fourth region. The party was celebrated in conmemoration to the virgin, and is characterized by the presence of many dance groups that accompany the virgin in proecession.

This subject is my favorite because one learns much more in practice than in theory.
