Blog 7 - Career-related website/Expert on your field

If I had to choose an expert in the field of political scienc, it would be Giovanni Sartori . He was an Italian political scientist specialized in the study of democracy and comparative politics. Born in Florence, Italy in 1924 nearly two years after fascist strongman Benito Mussolini rose to the position of Italy's prime minister. Academic career: Sartori began his academic career as a lecturer in the History of Modern Philosophy, and later became Dean of the University of Florence's political science department. His academic influence skyrocketed after the publication in the "American Political Science Review" of his seminal paper, "Concept Misformation in Comparative Politics," considered a must-read classic for political science students around the world. (EFE, 2017) Sartori died at the age of 92 in Florence from throat cancer on 4 April 2017. The reason I chose this author, is because I find his approach to the development of p

Free topic: A Personal Voyage

Hello there This time I didn’t really know what to talk about, so I started thinking about some issues from my childhood. I remember when I was a kid I used to play on my computer and review the famous ‘Encarta’. One day my mom came and gave It to my sister and me a CD.  That CD contained the famous TV series 'Cosmos: A personal Voyage'. The series was produced in 1978 and 1979. Despite that, it had incredible special effects and a great montage. What I admire most about the series are the incredible landscapes and its producer, Carl Sagan.  Music is another highlight: it fits perfectly with each scene and is composed by the famous Greek composer Vangelis.  I remember that with this series I began to be interested in science fiction themes, the universe and to have my first existential doubts.  If you are interested in this type of subject, I invite you to search on youtube: Cosmos. It is really a great program and deserves to be valued  To finish,

A photograph you like

                                                      Paperback Writer Hello there, the picture which I most like was taken at Chiswick House in west London, England. The photo was taken by Robert Whittaker on May 1966 and it’s a coloured photograph. In this picture there are four persons and they are wearing mostly a black suit with their musical instruments.  They represent the rock attitude of the 60’s. In this photo you can see that two of them are smoking and with sunglasses. On the left you can see the drummer Ringo Starr with two rings on his right hand and he is sitting in a concrete block. Next to him, you can see George Harrison holding a Gibson SG guitar and in the middle are John Lennon and Paul McCartney sitting in one of the branches of a large tree holding a Epiphone guitar and a Hofner bass guitar, respectively. I like this photo because it shows the beauty of the nature and it’s an omen of the psychedelic age.

“Back in the 90s, He was in a very famous TV show He’s BoJack the Horse, BoJack the Horse Don't act like you don't know And he’s trying to hold on to his past It's been so long He doesn't think he’s gonna last I guess he'll just try And make you understand That he’s more horse than a man Or he more man than a horse” Hiya, folks! I’d like to talk about a great animated series: BoJack Horseman. Not long ago, I started to watch this series by a friend recommendation and I really liked so much!  Among the things that I stand out are the mix of comedy and drama, the daily problems of adult life and how dark it could be at times.  Premise: The series is set in L.A. and shows a world in which humans and anthropomorphic animal-people coexist.  The main character is BoJack Horseman, an ex-actor who still holds on to his past and wants to be happy. Ever since the cancellation of his show after its ninth season, BoJack has become a

My favourite piece of technology

Technology is present in every area of our lives. Seems to be omnipresent and moves forward quickly. If I had to choose one piece of technology, it could be the cell phone or mobile phone. Cell phone is a portable telephone that can make and receive calls while people is moving within a telephone service area. There are many designs and shapes of cell phones and every year bring us news and advances. Since the 70’s this device brings us an essential part of life: long distance communication. Today, the cell phone has amazing features taken from sci-fi movies: real-time video calls, allows us to take pictures in high resolution, record audio, call more than one person at a time, listen to music all day long if you want, check social networks, play games, watch movies and some are even water resistant. Despite all that, I like simplicity. I use my cell phone several hours per day to check social networks, watch videos and series, call my friends, and send messages.

Why did you choose this career program?

“Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family […]” It’s time to talk about big decisions: How do I decided to study Political Science? When I was a child I said: “ I want to be a doctor to take care of my grandparents ” but I was so wrong because I've never had abilities for science and maths.   I remember that I watched movies of WW2 and history with my grandfather and since that moment I began to have an interest in history and political facts. Later, in the school, humanity subjects were my favourites and I really enjoyed the lessons and learned a lot of this. Also, I liked to participate in debates and arguments in the classroom. I chose the career in a moment of pressure, joy and mixed emotions because I was in the last grade of high school and I really needed to take a decision for my future. I don’t regret because I love the program and the lessons. Teachers are good and my friends are amazing!

Who am I?

Hello there! My name is Sebastián Rubio Jorquera. I was born on October 26 th , 2000. I live in El Manzano, Las Cabras ( The Apple tree, The Goats ), a small but very homely town in the sixth region.  Insert:  Los Charros de Lumaco - Cómo dejar de amarte My childhood was very nice with my parents, my sister, and my grandparents, but I was too shy until I entered to school. Since I was a little boy (smaller than now) I really like comics, history, and movies. My favourite comic is Watchmen and I like a lot the Star Wars saga. In primary school I had a lot of friends, but for life’s things we split up. Then, in high school I met incredible people who became into my best friends. Every day we had lot of things to do and we really had fun. I remember that we used to sit in the square to talk about life and Fridays we played football.   Also, I had a band with my friends, and we played songs of Latin rock. My favourite bands are The Clash and The Beatles, but I like
