This semester I have a gender and identity class that I liked very much. In this class we learn about queer theory, the evolution of it and the representations in the contemporany society. I really recommend this class, in the first place because it´s very mind opener in the sexuality topic and the differents identities that the people may have. It´s help to broke the paradigm of the binary sexuality, male and female, and the paradigm of been raised and act like a men or a woman in the actual society. I also recommend this class because it has a very interesting way to deliver knowledge and the teachers are didactics. In the semester we analized movies, cartoons, biblic texts and music, so it was really enterteinment.

Karl Marx. He was a intellectual of the XIX century. He was a philosopher, economist and sociologist among other things. He wrote several books in his life, like The Capital and The Comunist Manifest and he could be considered as the father of the comunist ideology.

The topic I selected is the water crisis affecting over the Aconcagua valley de last decade. I chose this topic because it is a topic of my interest as a sociology student and also as a San Felipe citizen. This topic is relevant to my because is an economic and political conflict thats affects all citizen of the valley directly or indirectly, and also afects the environment. So you can understand, the water crisis conflict in this zone lies in the issue that the big empresary use a ton of the water resource for they activity, mainly the mining and the avocado producer, because they can afford for the water, affecting the little empresary of the communities, but also the ordinary people, the native plants and trees and the animals. At last, I hope that in the future we can change the Constitution so we can change also the way that we understand and use the water, a ecofriendly way.
