Topic B: A person in my field that I admire.


    Enrique Dussel is a university professor with a degree in philosophy and religious sciences and has multiple doctorates in philosophy and history. His nationality is Argentine / Mexican.
 
    He is a very important Philosopher recognized for his movement called "philosophy of liberation” but he is also a very important writer who contributes many things to the studies from a Latin American perspective . 

 I admire this author because he is one of the Latin American academics who has promoted the idea of breaking with the Eurocentric thought that has been established in the structural foundations of Latin America, the knowledge that he has built, contributing theoretically based on the idea of decolonization and the rupture of the hegemonic thoughts that are established in Latin America on the part of the Spanish colony.
 
    This was one of the first Latin American academic authors that I read, and it showed me that not all knowledge comes from Europe and there is a responsibility on the part of the region to build our own knowledge from our reality.

    oh I didn't know him but I really like the perspective he has on eurocentrism, I can identify a little with what he wants to propose.

A Photo and It's Story

Me and My Son 2019   This photo is very important to me, it was one of the first photos that I took with my son, whose arrival was too important for me.   In 2019 I was living the separation of my parents, it was a very hard time for me, not because they will separate, it was more because of the fear that they stay together. I was very unhappy when my parents were together, and that is why I decided to adopt my cat, Milo.   You may wonder, What does my cat have to do with my parents' separation? Well, my father hates animals, especially cats, because of the amount of hair they shed, I always loved them, but because of this he never gave me the opportunity to have one, so for me adopting Milo was a mark of freedom and happiness.

Why did I choose my major?

Imagen
My grandfather, my cousin and I. I chose my major because my grandfather told me so, I know it may not seem right because I didn't consider my tastes at first, but it's deeper than that. My grandfather worked since he was just a child so he couldn't finish his studies and his biggest dream was to go to the university to study pedagogy in history. My plans were the same in the beginning, but pedagogy in history doesn’t have much work scope, considering this my grandfather said "you should study sociology then" so I did.  In my childhood I wanted to be a doctor, but this required a lot.  After the PDT is when I believed in myself, and now I study sociology in the “Universidad de Chile”, it’s difficult because at the moment the classes are online but I know I can.

My Dream Job

  My dream job is related to any work that has any relation with animals, veterinarian is the relevant profession that will allow me to develop skills to cure and treat animals that are in bad condition. My dream is to create an animal shelter to be able to rescue, give momentary protection, and give for adoption to people who are respectful with them.   I believe that veterinarians salaries are bad or "regular", but this have sense because the animals are objects in this society. I am currently studying sociology, which doesn’t have much in common with veterinary medicine, but both can be linked, since research analyzing society and the treatment of animals as simple objects is interesting for me to develop and to be able to work from a critical perspective. There are two people who are very important to me in the world of animal care, the “Señor Mishiwasi” and “Frank Cuesta”, because both gives his life for animals, and that’s what I want to do too. "Señor Mishiwas...
