BLOG 6: CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME 

I've been studying journalism for almost three years, wich would be a little more than half of the degree since it's 5 years in total. In these years there have been subject and particular things about the degree that I liked and others that I did not.

I believe that basic subjects of journalism as a language, writing and grammar, radio, reportage and reporting, etc, are taught in a great way with great teachers. There're teachers who are really good besides it's great and enriching to have such recognized and important teachers within the country's journalism.

On the other hand, there's a bad infrastructure as in all social sciences or humanistic degrees, added to being a public university. The lack of implements is a problem, even though I'm aware that the situation has improved and every effort is made by the institute.

I think it would be good to add a greater number and variety of electives of specialization and perhaps a greater focus on these for those who want to dedicate themselves to certain specific areas. Perhaps an entire year could be added to the degree that is dedicated only to specializations both in the area and in the way of doing journalism, although I really don't think the five-year degree is insufficient, at all.

Also, I think the university should invest in some faculties that are left out by others. It's true that faculties of engineering, economics or medicine give more money to the university but it's also important to invest in the others to ensure that all students receive the education they need to be good professionals in the future. Furthermore, as in Chile education is seen as a consumer item, it's paying for a service that must be done in a good way

BLOG 5: PERSONAL OPINION 

I'll write about my opinion of the hooligans or "barras bravas" in Latin America.

Firts, I think it's important to say what I will say it's from a external look, since I'm not part of any barra, although I know some people who do.

The environment that lives inside represents a large part of the population in Chile and I would dare to say in Latin America. I can't include the whole planet, but I really don't think that's different. In there, the atmosphere is highly macho, violent and territorial, but how can that be explained? Many of the people comes from the lower strata of society and they have lived that way all their lives. Many don't have the privilege of a good education and they're vulnerable people abandoned by the State.

Also, being there this people develop a sense of belonging, they feel part of something, even many are capable of giving their lives for the colors or the team.

Beyond being part, agreeing with the act of the barras or not, before talk you have to understand the context of many of the people who are part. 

I think it's obvious to say that not all people act the same. In that context, there are some people or groups/collectives that are part try change the established, that is, stir the macho/sexist thinking, xenophobia and racism of the songs or chants and expressions, even transcend a little more and change the way of thinking of many people about differents social causes, but it's difficult to eliminate or change some things from society.

 BLOG 4: MY FUTURE JOB

About my future job, it was hard for me make the decision to study journalism. Despite that I think I've always been interested and wanted work around sports. Since I entered to the university I thought I would in sports, although I never closed myself to take another option, I still think that's my think.

Football always been the sport that has interested me the most, since I was a child, since I can remember. Always I liked research and know about history, old and new players, etc. But isn't the only sport that I like, though yes the one that I follow the most. I would like other sports to be given the same importance or were covered similarly.

With respect to the salary, it would be a lie to say that I wouldn't make a lots of money, but sincerely isn't what interests me. With reach to live well, comfortable and happy I'm conform.

It would be a dream to travel and cover an sport even like World Cup or Olympic Games, but would be too cover minor events. Furthermore it's an option that I go to Spain to continue studying there, either for to make a magister or specialize more in sports.
