Blog 5: My future job

Imagen
 Hi everyone! Today I am going to talk about my future job Although I have always liked the subject of gastronomy and for the same reason, a job related to that, my thinking changed and now I think about my future as a public administrator. By the other hand, The major that i am studying are the public affairs. I would like to work in the comptroller general of the republic, specifically in the area that fights corruption and that administers illegal acts. I started to like this idea since I heard the pleasant work experience of a public administrator who graduated from the same university where I am studying, for the same reason, I imagine a safe work space but at the same time dynamic due to the effects of the social and political context. In addition, even if it is not an outdoor job and it does not contemplate trips abroad (which I would like very much), I would like to live that work experience. Currently I have not investigated about the monthly salary of a public administrat...

Blog 4: Post-Graduate Studies

Imagen
 Hi everyone! Today I'm going to talk about postgraduate studies :) I am currently in the second year of my career in public administration and I have thought about doing a Master in Government and Public Management taught by the University of Chile. In this master's degree, students are trained to develop managerial, technical and political competencies that allow them to assume responsibilities of senior public management. So I would like to delve into topics such as strategic management and study the issue of the budget and public finances. Although I plan to do this master's degree at the University of Chile, I would like to do an exchange in another country, but the language is an obstacle, so if it were in a university in Spain it would be great. It has been a dream since I was little to travel to another country and learn about other cultures, so if studying abroad is the perfect excuse to leave temporarily, I gladly accept it. Taking into account that we continue wi...

Blog 3: TV Series

Imagen
Usually, I watch series on platforms like Netflix and Disney, in fact, those are my favorite platforms. Although I also watch movies or series on Prime video, but very rarely. I recently finished the series "Squid Game" and now I am watching "alice in borderland", both series on the Netflix platform. The series I am currently watching was recommended to me by the same Netflix platform after I finished watching "Squid Game", since they have similar themes. On the other hand, the series that I have seen the most times is "Sherlock". I started watching this series at school in a philosophy class, from that day on I wanted to see it from my home and I loved it. Now, I am not looking forward to the premiere of any new series, but if I am anxious to see the third season of "You" and the fourth season of "stranger things", I liked both series very much. For the same reason, although both series have different themes, I recommend them...

The best concert ever

Imagen
 Hi everyone! In this post, I am going to talk about the best concert ever for me. I remember that date of this concert, was on 25th May 2018 in “Estadio Nacional”, ubicated in Santiago, Chile. I was happy that day, for the first time, I went to the concert of "Harry styles", one of the five members of the boy band "One Direction". Currently is a singer, compositer and actor, also, as adittional information about him, he went to audition for the UK television show The X Factor, where the judges combined him with four other young male singers to form One Direction.  For this concert, he made a solo splash in 2017 with his debut single "Sign of the Times". So, in that moment I wasn't the only fan who wanted to see Harry Styles, also there were thousands of fans waiting to see him in Chile. The atmosphere was exciting, and personally, I knew all the lyrics of the songs.  Something that I really liked is that the fans organized to turn on the flashlights o...

A country I would like to visit

Imagen
 Hi! my name is karla and in this post I am going to talk about the country I would like to visit.  From my point of view, I would like to visit Canada, because it is one of the most beautiful and safe countries that exist (this based in a report). Also, is a country with friendly people ,who generally, accept foreigners and give them great benefits to study, work and live there. As curious fact, this country tends to low temperatures, therefore, its food is always frozen (example: the soups) if i would travel to Canada I would like to live in this country, because I would feel safe walking through the streets, for example, I would not receive an unwanted compliment. In addition, Canada and its people welcome foreigners in a good way, in fact, as other important fact,  it is considered a multicultural and plurinational country, consequently canadians don't tend to be xenophobic,  racist and homophobic. See you in the next post! :)

Tell us about a subject you enjoy studying

Imagen
Today I am going to talk to you about a subject that I enjoy in college. I studied this subject in the first academic semester and is called path dependency. Path dependency is a phenomenon that considers history as an important factor, in this way, what has occurred in the past persists because of resistance to change. At first, when the subject was discussed, I related it to short phrases such as "the past matters" or "the past prevails", but when studying about the subject I realized that there was a background and a more interesting explanation behind the simple path of dependence. On the subject, I learned that this phenomenon explains the trend that shapes public policies. In this way, the surge of new institutionalism tends to define path dependence as a situation where the policy choice is constrained or shaped by institutional paths that result from choices made in the past.   Finally, it is worth mentioning that I enjoy studying this phenomenon, because I ...

Websites I Enjoy Visiting

As for the websites oriented my career, I like the page of transparency of the government because you can investigate about anything that you want know of some institution like a budgets and statistics for the purpose of conducting some research. However, the information you want to search or request cannot affect security and personal data, if so, the required information will not be delivered. The link of the page is: https://www.consejotransparencia.cl/ Regarding evaluations of my career that need information, I like to investigate this page for its truthful and easily accessible information, since it is a public page. In this way, I frequently use the data from there for realize my evaluations. I definitely recommend this page for those who are simply curious about the operation of a public institution or if you have doubts about the administration of public resources of a certain public service. Also, if you are conducting research about the government and its institutions, this p...
