Blog 7: "Comandante Tamara: From Sociology to Revolution"

Raúl Pellegrin Cecilia Magni.jpg
Cecilia Magni also know as "Comandante Tamara" was a chilean revolutionary sociologist who studied Sociology at the Universidad de Chile in the 80’s.

Cecilia was born in 1956 in in a high class family, is that why she studied in a exclusive school of Santiago, the Grange School, after this, in 1080 she ingress to the Facultad de Ciencias Sociales (FACSo) of the Universidad de Chile. In this year,  she united to the Juventudes Comunistas of the Partido Comunista de Chile, and then, she united to the Frente Patriotico Manuel Rodriguez and start her career of a armed revolutionary being a protagonist in the atack to the dictator Augusto Pinochet named “Operación siglo XX”.


In my opinion, she is important in my field because she combined two important things, given to you by sociology: the tools to analyze society and action to transform reality. She understood that the context was so complex because of the dictatorship and she acted in the name of justice. I think she has been an influence for me, because she was really brave, she left everything to fight against the dictatorship and turned her life into a collective project, leaving behind all her privileges and being willing to give life if necessary, and that was how she died in 1988 murdered by dictatorship forces after the Pinochet’s caravan atack.

Post 7: COMPUTER GAMES

When I was a kid I played videogames all day, when I arrived from school I started to play many videogames, I remember I liked to play MarioKart, SuperMario, Donkey Kong and many others during hours. This videogames was the first I start to play, but with the passing of the years I started to do some other thing and I forgot a bit the videogames, now I dont play them or I do but one time for month or even less beacause I Realizerd that I less so much time in front to screen, even when I had like thertheen or fourtheen years old I skipped sleep to finish my videogame.

Changes in my study program

There are so many changes that I want to do apply in my study program although it has change so much in the last years. First, I think my study program needs more electives courses  to create a way for the students and their preferences. Besides, i think the career needs more Field work where we talk to the people and listen what they need. On the other hand, I think the elective courses need more variety areas of interest because the election of one becomes so complex when there is no variety. I think the changes in the study program are really necessary to perfectionate and modernize the level of professionals that the university forms so this way, they’re up to date with new technologies and the labor market. Finally, I think it's a really good sign that the study programs change because it means that the careers are taking care of what the students and the discipline needs.
