The mass media

A subject of interest for me this semester has been  the rol that mass media plays in society.
First, in university, specifically on the class "study pf political phenomena", we studied the theory of theass media and its role on democratic societies. It was incredible how trough many arguments, different authors proposed the influence of mass media. From how they interfered on the public opinion, the perception of the public about different events, and on the power games of the different authorities.
On the other hand, also in university, but this time in the class "Methodology of investigation", we saw and examined a documentary about the mass media, and how, on practice, influenced in big ways our actions, perceptions and thoughts.
A clear example of the big role mass media plays on the documentary, it was how trough the years the increment of news concretely about crimes, murders and robberies, caused a growth on the sentiment of insecurity in the population, and specifically on those societies in wich is legal to carry and use guns.

Why did I choose study Public Administration?

Why did I choose to study Public Administration? Why did I choose to study Public Administration? Why not another career? I think there is no specific reason for this. When I graduated from school I joined commercial engineering, thinking it was the career of my dreams. Because of the maths, the labor field, the economy and the administration. However, three months later I realized that I wasn´t in the right place and I decided to leave the career. But, after doing that, I never thought what I would do next. What would I study?

For example the search for the common good, the mixture of mathematics and humanities and especially helping people. Now after a whole year I really believe that, Public Administration, is the career of my dreams, with all the good and bad that this cou...

My favorite vacation

My favorite vacations were when I toured Aysén in the summer of year 2017. It was one of the best experiences I’ve had. I spent a month bagpacking with two friends in the Aysén region. We start in a small village called “Guadal” and end up in the city of Coyhaique. The idea of the trip was mainly to travel without having plans of where to stay or how to get to the places we wanted to visit. I think it was the most entertaining of the trip. One of the things that I liked, in addition to the great and beautiful landscapes, was to meet wonderful people along the way. People from the area and foreigners who added entertainment and fun to our trip. It was incredible. One of my favorite places of the trip was a town village called “Caleta Tortel”. It is a village made entirely of wood, which has no streets or passages. It is only a village accompanied by nature, water and its people. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever met.
