Blog 4: A subject you enjoyed studying this semester

 Hello friends :)

My favorite subject this semester was Social History of Chile. It's a subject where no visual support material is used, but the information given by the teacher is so interesting that it does not matter. We start by talking about the last class to continue with the central idea, then he introduces us to important dates, people or places. Everything that is mentioned refers to the development of citizens, communities or groups.

The teacher always recommends readings or movies to complement what we are studying in class. He is very organized in teaching the topics and explains the subject in a simple way. 

The most interesting topics for me are how the working class was transformed in Chile, how the exterior affected the future of country. I liked very much to talk about how the culture of the Mapuche people and the Spanish were mixed, originating the mestizos (Chileans). 

I like very much to learn about my country and my people. It is very important to know our history in order to understand the present and the transformations we are living as a society. Even though I don't do well in this subject, I enjoy it very much, it gives me a lot of interesting knowledge. 

Well, and to add that there is so much information that one semester is not enough to learn it all!
