The best's nobels books


  In the school I was read many more novels that now, because with the University I preferred to read more politics books. I remember four books in specific that marked my life. The first was ''La granja de los animales'' of George Orwell, although the school forced to me for read this I don't regret. This book is short and very entertaining. In a first look somebody may think that is for childrens, but have a deep and strong political message. Other short book that marked me was ''El viejo y el mar'' of Hemingway that I choose for a personal decision. I recommend this because is very emotional and exciting story with the most amazing event in the life of a simple person, but finished without glory, as in the initially.

  The second book that I remember was ''Crimen y castigo'' of Dostoyevski. I read this for a suggestion of my brother. I think that the genius of this novel is the ability of insert the reader in the mind of the protagonist. Is a very psychological book to the point of one may sympathize with a murderer. The last novel that I want to reference is ''La senda del perdedor'' of Charles Bukowski that I read also for the suggestion of my brother. The story is autobiographical and is the only book of all that I could not stop to read. This is too much recommended.

I'm a green citizen?



I think that the people learn about environmentally in many places, for example with family, with friends, in the schools and in public debates about this. Mainly I think are public debates and schools teach, especially when the pollution cause direct danger in the people.Too many people had never recibed education about environment, however with Hidroaysén and the thermoelectrics problems in some cities, the population has responded against this.

For me, the individual habit of recycling is good but not is the answer for this problem. The big problem are the big companies and the industries, because they produce a great part of the pollution and consume, in other great part, the nonrenewable energy. For this reason I think that the habit of recycling is only a complementary factor. In the first place the State should require to reduce the cabron dioxide of the industries. Secondarily this industries must to implement an progressive methods of energy complementary. In a third step, the minings should use water of the sea and not of the rivers, although this is more expensive to extract. In the last place in terms of effectiveness, we should have a environmentally education and change our culture with the environment.

Anyway I use a bike but nor for the pollution, I use this because is funny and I can do exercise with this, but I know that is a good practices for the environment.

Three years ago I participated in protests again Hidroaysen but this is the only cause that I supported more directly. I consider it very important to have a sustainable development but if it not accompanied with more social justice, I think that is an useless progress. Even though is an cause that I support, it is not my priority today.

My experience in the field



I was not too much fieldworks like others students of anthropology in others university or including other generations of students in this university. However I was fieldwork in two of the three areas of my career: biology and social anthropology. The fieldwork in biology was the first year with all my classmates in the hill ''La Campana'' where we camped one night and in the day walked seeing the nature. In social anthropology I remember two fieldworks importants for me.One of this was in the rural area and the other was in an andina zone with indigenous of ethnicity ''Atacameña''. In both us slept  in sleeping bag in a community centers, we had to cock us and had problems with the personal hygiene. I think that this aspects were the only problems, although in general I missed my friends and family, especially because inside Calama and Talca we do not had cellular signal. 

I like share time with my classmates and the research that we did. In the rural area, the village of ''Curtiduria'' we worked about the familiar economic strategies and I talked face to face with four women about her everyday  problems and said that the municipality did not know theirs problems. With this I found the importance of the fieldwork and the researchs with interviews. With the Atacameña people we worked about the conflict between their community and the mining companies in relationship with the water of the rivers.
