Bio Data



My name is Diego Valenzuela, I´m 20 and I am a second-year student of sociology at the Universidad de Chile. I choose this career because I´m very interested in the phenomena that occur in the society and cause a change of behavior to the people. My topics of interest are the power, the gender, and the history.

The last year, one of my first investigation as a student of this career, was a historical research about gender in the “Hacienda” in Chile. Specifically, my research was about how the masculinity was expressed in the relation of the tenant and the “hacendado” through of the years, and how this relation ended expressed in the work relationships that we see today.

At the beginning of this year, I take an additional subject called “Identity, gender and social commitment in Catalan culture” this subject helps me to know of better way about the problems of the identity and gender, al this with a vision of a Catalan culture. Now I´m regularly assist to conversations and conferences about sociology in the faculty. This is helping me to understand the new problems of the office and have more tools to develop myself as a sociologist.

The problem with the Sociology

We live in a world that is in a constant change. Through of the history we could see how the wars, the poverty, the revolutions, the technology, and the own system, guide the way of humanity. Why the world changes an every moment? Why we live in a deeply inequality society for the most of people? Sociology seems to be a good way to respond these questions, since this is the scientific study of society, patterns of social relationships, social interaction and culture of everyday life. For this, through Sociology we can know the phenomena that occur in the society through history, to take better decisions at present. For example, in the problem of gender inequality at work, with a good sociology investigation we could have a better understanding of this problem. This information could be very important at the time of to make public policies that really help to reduce the salary gap. Consequently, Sociology is an important and indispensable tool if we want a equal and democratic society...

The importance of Music

Hello again, today I´m going to write about a wonderful talk about the music. This talk it was dictate for Anika Paulson. “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything”. The first Anika´s words show us the importance of the music in the world and the expressions and relations of the people in the society. For her, the music is part of the human identity and can connect the sense of people in every part of world in every time. In this direction, we can express our life and found ourselves through the music. Anika show us how we began to study in the university, she began to “listen others melodies, others tempo” that aren’t her music. So her melody “started to sound like theirs”, and she began to lose yourself. We can see how Anika explain her life through the music and how represents the changes in her life trough of this. But this way to live the life is not just a superstition, because she study a lot of physics science and ...

My Career

The career that I am studying is the Sociology, at the Universidad de Chile. I think that is a good and funny career, but, it could be better. In this career, the subjects that I have to study are varied types, like, philosophy, economy, psychology, anthropology, statistics, and, of course, sociological theory (among many more). In most of these subjects, we learn the different thoughts of important authors for sociology, those who are usually men, and rarely did we read texts written by women. I think that the organization of the texts that we read should be more equitable in all the courses, because it is essential not to hide the voices of women who have been equally important in the social theory. The duration of the career is five years, in which we must study ten semesters. I think that it's a good time to get a good preparation (or maybe a little extensive time). Also, I think that the campus have a good infrastructure and the classrooms are big and very comfortable, especi...
