The water crisis of the Aconcagua Valley.

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.

    I'm glad you wrote about this because I have seen before and after pictures of Aconcagua valley and the drought is noticeable. I really hope the government comes up with a plan to equally distribute the water between the big industries, the people that live there and the animals.

My PS4.

The Play Station 4 is a console that you connect to the Tv and lets you play video games. I love it, it´s so entertaining. I got it like five or six years ago when it just come out. A friend of mine went to the US at that time and me and my brother ask him to bought it for us. To play the PS4 games in the first place you have to had a joystick to control the games and you have to learn how to is it, that´s pure experience. Often when you buy the console it comes with a joystick, but we had to bought another one because we were to who wanna play. Also you have to buy the different video games that you want to play. This is the hard part because they are very expensive. We have like two o three video games. During a normal year I only use it like twice a month because I usually live in Santiago and the PS4 is in San Felipe, but this year I use it often in the weekends so I can use the week to study. I like it because I really have a great time when I use it. I disconnect from my problems

KARL MARX

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. This autor is of particular importance and interest in the sociology studies because it´s one of the central thinkers on the field. He stands out because of his understanding over the social structures at the capitalist societies. Through a materialistic vision of the society he tried to show the material conditions that are hidden at the social structures of the modern society and in that way to show the exploitation conditions to which some parto of the population are subjected under another part of the society: proletariat and bourgeois. I think that Marx is very interesting t oread in order to have a basic idea of sociology and in order to learn about a understanding of the society that has marked the last centu

I also have a brother, but he is living in Netherlands with his girlfriend since last year. I went to the same school here in San Felipe my whole life. Then I went to Santiago to continue my studies.
