How can ur major make the world a better place.

 


Hello class! As I mentioned before, I am currently studying geography in my second year of university. Geography is a multidisciplinary science that studies how human beings/society relate to space (it can be understood from a physical perspective as earth sciences or in a social way).

in my opinion, geography is a career that should have more recognition because it contributes to understand all the territorial problems that exist today. For example, in Chile the extractivist economy has serious consequences for the ecosystem of our country, a geographic perspective is important for the protection of the territories.

In the future I would like to contribute to the protection of our territories and that Chile can innovate production systems where they are more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Geography is a fundamental discipline to face future environmental challenges because society is affected by the impacts of climate change. I dream of a world where ecosystems are protected.

  Hello everyone, the person I admire is the geographer David Harvey, recognized for his academic contributions related to social phenomena in the territory as an effect of the capitalist economic model. Harvey was born on 1935 in the United Kingdom, studied at Cambridge University and has been a professor at Johns Hopkins, Oxford, New York, and the London School of Economics. His work is related to the branch of radical geography, where he presents the relationship between urbanism and social inequality. Some of his most famous publications are: "Spaces of Hope" (2003), "The New Imperialism" (2004), "A Brief History of Neoliberalism" (2007), From the Right of the City to the Urban Revolution" (2013), among others. I really like the topics developed by this author; he is a contemporary geographer whose studies on social inequality produced by the capitalist system help us to understand all the current social problems. In his book "The Right...

A photograph and its story

  This photograph was taken in the summer of 2018, that year was amazing for me. The letters written in the sand beach represent my best friend's name and mine. we went to "Tabo", it was the first time we went together to a place outside of Santiago so it was a lot of fun. Also, that same day an anecdote happened to us, we burnt in the sun haha it was a bit painful. When I see this picture it immediately comes to my mind the year 2018, I don't know why but I feel that during that period I had unforgettable memories. I remember the day of the photograph very well. The night before my best friend stayed over at my house, the next day we left early for the beach. It was cloudy but it was perfect to go for a walk. I have many memories with my best friend, but that day was very special, I can't explain how important she is to me.
