Environmental Racism While the concept of environmental racism is born in the United States within the Afro-descendant population, currently this concept has become the theory of environmental justice. An emblematic case is the Ventanas in our country, where is an area is saturated with contaminants. The population is low-income and has become impoverished each more with the reality that they happen to live. Social Inequality Social inequality is one of the most serious problems in our country, as that derive the majority of the problems we have. Inequality in access to education, health and culture, that we are so bad socially.  Too much wealth for some increases the social divide and harms the middle class and low.

Changes to study program of geography career, by Flavia

The career of geography need changes in some courses that need to be more update. Many teachers are obsolete in your knowledge and teach with the same presentation every semester, demonstrate your scarcity of compromise with the students. Others teachers, just make class us for obligation, without preoccupation for the formation of the students. What’s more, have courses that I considerate important for the professional development but not be in the curriculum like statistics or politics geography. In general mode, I increase the variety of elective course, because currently are not many diversity and the few that are almost mandatory . Something that I think it is worrying is the lack of proximity to the field of work before the last year of study. There are universities in which as from the second year they begin to send their students to pre practices , which is a great help to realize if you really like what you are studying.

Summer Holidays

For my summer vacation I would like to travel with a very good friend and visit Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Colombia. We will work through the way north creating crafts, singing at restaurants or juggling in the streets, anything is valid when you have a goal in mind and even better if it’s a trip. All of this will be done on February because in January we will go to the south of Chile, specifically route 9 from Puerto Natales to Usuahia (Tierra del Fuego), we have friends to visit all over the route that are already writing to us and asking when will we start our travel, the goal is pretty ambitious but not impossible. In order to raise money for the first days we will work at a big rock festival called “Woodstaco” at Teno, a small town near Curicó. At Woodstaco we will sell corn with butter or mayonnaise to the hippies that go to that festival, where they all camp and enjoy the music in the outdoors for three days. Only by thinking about everything that we are planning of doing duri...
