My favourite subject this semester is epistemology. In class we usually sit on a circle and discuss about the topics. The teacher is talking most of the time, explaining the contents and between that she starts asking if somebody has a question or comments. In a typical class we discuss about different ways to understand what knowledge, truth, science means, and how every point of view refute another, in fact they are constantly refuting between them. We work with many authors, such as Descartes, Hume, Kant, Popper, Kuhn, Feyerabend, Husserl, etc. I like it because we're always questioning our own ways to see the world, and we get to realize that your way to understand the world is not always right, or rather be right or wrong depending on which point of view is refuting yours. I also like this subject because the evaluations are quite interesting. Our last test was in pairs, and we had 30 minutes to talk to each others about how were we going to answer the questions, and then 1 ho...

The person who I admire on my field is my mom. She's a psychologist from the same university I'm studying right now. She's 45 years old and she had three children. She works with kids who have been raped, abused or assaulted. Most of those kids end up living at orphanages, and having a terrible life, but my mom works hard to solve this cases and to make justice for them. She has worked in state institutions like SENAME or DAM, I like her because she is a very good professional and she does her job passionately, she doesn't care that much about money, she just want to fix as much as she can those kids' history. Also, people are always offering her important jobs, even on the government, but she would never violate her principles, for example, communism; she doesn't even take important positions on large institutions, because she wants to interact face to face with the kids. She always gives her best at her job, because child care system on Chile is negligent, ...

I love watching movies, and I do go to the cinema quite often. I don't like a special kind of films, I could watch any movie as long as you told me that it's a good movie. The last film I saw was Harry Potter on the 4dx cinema, which is a special cinema where they use physical effects, like moving your seat, throwing water and odors. My all-time favourite film is always changing, so I can't tell you it's my all-time favourite, but it's my favourite right now. I'm talking about Kill Bill, this movie is about a woman who is a killer and she wants to get revenge. The main character is played by Uma Thurman. I like it because it has great music, the history is interesting, and it also has a lot of blood. I don't like watching many times the movies that I loved, because you can get bored of it and never want to watch it again, so I have seen Kill Bill just three times. I would totally reccomend you this movie, you will love it. I bet you will want to watch the...
