A person that I admire on Social Work!

Hello everyone! I hope you’re well! Today I will talk about a person that I admire on Social Work, she is Lena Dominelli.

I know about her since a one month ago, when I began to read for a presentation for the class "Critical approaches to Social Work" about her perspective of Social Work, that it call “Anti oppressive”.

This vision of Social Work has a purpose that people are empowered and, at the same time, fight for the finish of the oppressions of all kinds.

Lena Dominelli is a professor of Social Work in different universities in UK, like University of Stirling and Durham University and She has written from different topics since her perspective of Social Work, for example, about feminism, racism and green social work.

I like that she questions the Social Work, for example when she said in her book "Anti-Racist Social Work" that “Social work practice is not exempted from personal, institutional and cultural racism in its policies, practices and theories” (2018: 9)

Also, I like that there are many interviews of Lena Dominelli on Youtube, and in the videos she looks like a nice person that explain her ideas in a simple way. I really like her proposal because in my opinion is innovative and effective, and for this reason I want to read more about her works.

Well, this was the blog of today! I hope you have a good week! Kisses! <3

The last blog: Evaluation of my blogging experience!

Hi everyone! I hope you're well! Today is the last blog...</3 I can't believe that in one more week it will be Christmas! Today, I will talk about my experience with this type of evaluation: The blogs. Blogs I liked a lot, because I was allowed to write about entertaining topics and learn and know more about my classmates. In my opinion, if they helped me develop my writing skills in English (despite using google translator), because now I use it as less as before, and also I use more connectors and words in English.  I'm sure that what I learned will be useful for the everyday use of English in the university. I think that blogs are a good type of evaluation, more freedom to write and that promotes socializing with the classmates! For the future of blogs, I would add more opinion blogs on a controversial topic, or simply on a contingency topic. I think that opinion blogs would help develop argumentation and writing skills in English. Maybe in the future, ...

A subject I enjoy studying this semester!!

Hello everyone! I hope you're well <3 Today I will talk about my favorite subject of this term! I think that my favorite subject of this semester is an "Historia Social de Chile". In this class the teacher explains facts from the past since the perspective of the popular classes, in the period since nineteen century until the present day. The main contents that we have seen are migration field-city and the increase and the consolidation of the city of Santiago. The teacher talks about events that in the most of times, one did not learn at school. I really like this class because I learn about the story of places, communities and neighborhoods that, although being close to me, I didn't know the history hidden behind its present. After this class, I always feel that I'm learning something new and interesting, that I can later share with my family. Also, I really like that the teacher connect the contents with the life of the students, and creating motivat...

My favourite piece of techonolgy!

Hi!!! I hope you’re well! Today I´m going to talk about my favorite piece of techonolgy.  My favorite piece of techonolgy is my laptop! I had my first laptop when I was 11 years old and I shared it with my mom. Now, I have this computer since Christmas 2015 and it's a gift from my parents 😊 I use it for surf in social networks like Facebook or Instagram, to listen to music, watch videos on Youtube, study and save photos from my cellphone.   I use my laptop almost every day, usually at night 😉 I prefer to use my laptop more than my cell phone because I think it is more comfortable because it has a keyboard and for that reason it can be used faster than the cell phone. Also, the laptop has more memory to save files and photos (many photos)   My life without my laptop it would be like now but more disconnected and I would not have saved my memories </ 3   I hope you liked the blog today! Thank you for reading! I hope you have a good week! Kisses ...
