Cultural shock.

Hello, I am studying Anthropology, and today I going to talk to you about some problems that in my discipline we talk. One of those are the cultural shock.

Cultural shock. 

In my point of view, and taken some concepts of the anthropology, the cultural shock is when; roughly, people of differents cultures take contact, for differents things, like migrations, finding work, vacations, etc. All this process are mediate for many factors, like socio-economic condition, religión, the culture, etc.

In our country, the Mapuches are an example of this, an investigation of migration between the countryside and the city that I read recently show this cultural shock. Is an ethnography that show the cultural shock that lived the Mapuches when they arrive to the city, and the changed that they experiment in their culture, having to change many customs, like their social structure, and in some sense, their believes.

An example of cultural shock, in my case,was when I began to study at the University. I come from a reality very different that the university present to me, not only for the change between the school and University, it was a change to knowing other people, other foulks with a different reality, that live in other places and with other conditions. Special cases, for example, are the students that come to study at the University of Chile, from other countrys, like Spain or France, for say someones, that is a change more stronge yet.

Eterna Inocencia

Hello, I remember one concert, may be the only one I have gone. It was the first semester this year. With a friend, we went to see “Eterna Inocencia”, I din’t know the group, but my friend played some songs to me and I love them. Like “vientos del amanecer”

I love that song.

Well, the think is that we went to the concert, and never played that song, however, I never stayed before in a place like that. Was awesome, we go to the front, at the scenary (was in a discoteca, very huge). Four bands played before they, it was very pacefull, but when they became, all turn crazy, at the first song, the energy, the voices, the hot, the movement, the adrenaline, all at the same time, was amazing, with my friend, ending with all our wears wet. The band is an Argentine group and played about 2 hours, the concert was in a local of the center of Santiago, in an specific place that I don’t remember. The members of the group are very simple people, and in all the places were they go, try to transmit the idea of "do it yourself".

How I began the carrer

Hello partners.
Today I want to talk to you about my carrer and the reasons about how I began the university.
I always be very pensive boy, thinking about the life, the world, the problems of society and the vacuity of the life, it's senseless. a lonely boy. I grouw up without many friends, I watch a lot of movies and tv programs and little by little I began to read. That was very important to me, I feel represent in the character of the books. I remeber one, until today I read it. "The stepary wolf" by Hermann Hesse.
Well, ths is the thing. Never have nothing clear in my life. When I did the PSU test, I was not so nervous, I studied the most at possible in the situation that I was... For extrange that will sound, I never investigated something about the carreer, only I knew, that anthropology study the human been. I don't want to study something relationated with sciences directly, and don't want to study sociology, at least don't enter to the carrer, so I chose Anthropology C: until today, I think that was a good decition. I know very nice people and I continue learnig more and more, asking and knowing new things every day.

A country that I like to visit

A country that I like to visit is Japan. I think that is a country of ancient culture, even when that was changed, specially  for the industrialization and the second world war at the lasts centurys.

When I was a boy, and until today, like me the samuráis, and all that serenity, discipline, honor and more. Could visit the country where  they born, grow up, lived and died, it’s make me feel great.

I am student of anthropology, and visit others countrys, so estranges for me like Japon, is an experience that could made me very happy.

I will travel at first, to Kioto, the home of the shoguns and emperors, the I could go across the country, with an special emphasis in the orography, in the animals nad vegetal especies.

I like to visit temples, know budism monks, look the ancient architecture and the new. Japan is a country of change, and very quickly changes. The combination between the the old and the knew, is something that I want to see there.

I hope one day can go cross the cea and arrive to Japan

Ricardo Astorga

Hello my friends!
Today I going to talk to you about a person that let me know something about anthropology. First of all, and maybe I talk to you in posts before, I like the biology, and like me work, in a un future, in something would have relation with that...
Well, continue with the first idea, I want to present to you, an anthtopologist that I watch in tv, he dedicated a long time of his life to travel around the world, doing the work of the ancient antropologist in our days.
The last century, and from the begun of anthropology, our work, mainly, was relationated with know "ancient" society that stay alive until today, but that jobs was everyday less. Ricardo Astorga, like other anthropologist, that didn't have the oportunity of apper in television, continue with that work. The thing is, that I never kwon, until today, what anthropology were, and Ricardo Astorga was the first anthropology that I knew.

He is and anthropologist that travel for different parts in the worlds and does many tv programs in Amazonia, India or Mongolia, related some practices of the societys in this places. 

He steel alive, and had two childs, Matilda and Trinidad. Lives in San Alfonoso, Cajón del Maipo. Chile.

More than like me, Ricardo Astorga represent the dream of the old anthropologist, or more than the dream, the ideal anthropologist, and was the first that I knew... for television. u.u

Music

Hello again.

Today I will talk about music, in general. Well, I begin

Can you describe how the music make you feel? In my case it's work like an analgesic that can calm me. The life of an student, usually be very stressed, so the music is something vital in all my days, but not only for that calm effect.

I listen a lot kind of music, and important part of that is rap, hip hop and rock with a strong social content. Every day we are doing a critic about society and try to change something’s as well we cant in little things and in others that taking more time and have biggest objectives.

I usually download music from youtube with a program that permit me that, and listening other few songs in a page, soundclouth, but is not popular to me used that page.

One of memory of music... well, I remember two in these moments. When I was a child I like listen song of Michael Jackson, y remember that i watch some videos from him, with all his performance and I started to dance... meanwhile mum observed me behind the window and I never knew that until a few years ago, that was so funny. Other memory that I have, is with my father, listening music in my room, songs of Chayanne, romantic songs... I was a child. I remember that I listen to music until I sleep.

And how I sing? Well, only in the shower jajaja. Well, I sing to with my partners only for free stress and have a good time, sometime is embarrassing, but, we laugh a lot.

A last reflection, can you say how important is the music for people and their culture? Well, I am studying anthropology, but, until the moment, we are not talk a lot about the music, however, I can tell that is very important, and of us know that, the music is a important part of the culture, just think in more ancient time, or in others society that we can identify like so much different like the Chinese or Indian.

That is all for tonight brothers and sisters

Health and solidarity

Regards!
