Hi!!

Today I’ll talk about why I’m studying Anthropology! :)

When I was a child I thought that my profession will be the Medicine, and I thought about this until I finished the school in the year 2008. But when I did the PSU test I wasn’t selected in Medicine career in the University of Chile, then I started the “bachillerato” in natural science, but in middle of this year (2009) I change the mention to social science, in which I knew the Anthropology like a science, because before I really had no idea about this.

I think the Anthropology like a way to change the world, in Chile is an unknown discipline for the majority of the population, but the anthropology can make very important changes in the public policy, or other important topics, like in other countries, and this is my motivation to study this career, have the hope of the society considers its own culture like the motor to the development of its needs.

My favorite subject of the anthropology is the intervention in different context, like rural, urban or native areas to improve through public policy and others independent ways.

My favorite teacher of this University is Roelf Foerster because is a good anthropologist that investigate the native culture of Chile, specially of Mapuche culture, with an interesting new structuralist theorist focus.

Be happy!! :D
