I feel a great admiration for a Chilean sociologist, he is Enzo Faletto. He was a very important sociologist born in 1935, he studied History in the Universidad de Chile and after he specialized on sociology in FLACSO, it was an institute of social sciences in América Latina. He taught to the students of sociology and journalism between 1967 and 1972. In 1973 he goes out to Chile for the obvious political reasons and then he arrived to CEPAL, for made sociologist works. In 1990 he came back to Chile and he was a teacher in this faculty until the last days.
Enzo Faletto wrote with Enrique Cardoso (Brazilian ex-president) the famous book call “Dependency and development in América Latina”, that book still has a hard influence in the region, because was a paradigmatic book in the Dependency Theory. This is about the influence of the dominant countries in Latinoamerica and how we can explain the situation of this region taking it into account.
My admiration for this sociologist is because his work was very important for intellectual thought for understand that the development in Latinoamerica depends of this relation with the hegemonic countries.

Hi all!!! It’s very hard for me to tell you about my hobbies, because, actually, I don’t have many activities apart from university. My favorite hobbies are listening to music, reading poetry, meeting with my friends. Although I hate exercises, funnily enough, last week I began to do Pilates and I loved it, for this reason I think that it will be one of my favorite hobbies. Now I will tell you about that amazing exercise. When the Pilates class begins, we do relaxing exercises to help our concentration. And then we start doing very difficult exercises and we got very tired, but, at the end of the class the teacher plays very nice music and we take a rest with the eyes closed.
The other hobby that I love is listening to music, especially rock, but I love listening old music too, like Camilo Sesto, Elvis Presley or Los Angeles Negros. My mom and I listen to music all the time!!!

My experience about the earthquake was very strange. That night I was with my friend in our favorite bar, and the music in this place was very high, maybe for that reason we thought it was just a strong tremor.

In the moment that we went out, we realized that it was a strong earthquake. The people were on the street and they looked very afraid. I tried to call by phone to my mother, but it was impossible. I was nervous because she was alone in my house. I could talk with here at seven o'clock and she told me that she was very scared for me, but I said her that I was right.

When I arrived to my house she hugged me very hard, and I was happy too, because she was very good.

hello!!!

Hi, I’m Daniela Cornejo. I pretend to be a sociologist someday, and I hope to finish my studies in the next year.
But, when I started my university studies, I wasn’t sure about my vocation and for than reason I was a Bachillerato student for two year. When I stayed in Bachillerato I loved Philosophy, Public Administration and Sociology. Finally I chose Sociology, because in this career I have political and philosophy subjets.
I have some projects to my career, but I told you about that in the next post.
