Post 6: Forensic Anthropology

Hi everyone, today I am going to talking about a job that I would like to have, and I think that it is easy to talk about this for me because since that I was a little boy I had know what I want to do for the rest of my life. Of course I would like to be a professional football player or a carer of a tropical island, but in the reality it is very difficult that this happen.

Since that I was very little, always I liked the police stories, mistery novels and the investigation cases, then I like very much criminalistic and I tryed twice to enter to "Policía de Investigaciones" but I didn't because I failed in the test, therefore when I was in Bachillerato in this university I chose to study Physical Anthropology and here is my future because I want to work in Forensic Anthropology subdiscipline in Servicio Médico Legal I hope where there is a special unit of forensic identification.

For get this job, I need to learn now in the career all about osteology and human variability, and also I have to learn to identify sex, age, height and ancestry from different skeletal remains in different context. I think that in this job I can help in some way to the body's families to know what happened and to give them some of quietness, and that would can be my reward from doing this job.

Post 5: Book

Hi classmates and teacher, today I am going to talking about reading and specifically a book that I am reading at the moment. Personally I do not read books like novels or others genres during the academic year because there is not a lot of time, and generally at university I have to read academic books related with my discipline, essays, cientific papers of several journals, brief or short communications, and to study for the different subjects.

For all of this, generally I read novels during the summer and I like novels of adventures, journeys and books which make me to think. But just this year during this second semester, I am reading a very special book and I have to find time to reading it. This book is called Harry Potter and The Curse Child and I like it very much because I read all of the others books of the saga. I consider to me a fan of the saga, both books and movies and I am very happy with this eight history of this famous wizard.

For those who do not know the history, this book is not about Harry Potter, it is about the smaller Harry's son called Albus, how it is very difficult to be a Harry Potter's son because of the legacy the fame of the name, and how this boy take distance to his father and begin to have problems in Howarts that is one of the schools for wizards.

I recommend to you read the book and all the saga haha, bye bye!

Post 4: My best friend

Hi everyone, today I am going to talking about someone that I consider my best friend. His name is Matías Ramírez and I met him when I entered in the school in 2000, therefore we were classmates during school since 2000 until 2012 when we did finish and we were school out, and unitl today he have been my friend.

Honestly I do not remember how we started this friendship because we was only five years, but we have various things in common, for example we like sports, we like trekking, we have the same political idea, we like many books in common, movies and something very important is that we was unquiet at school and we had a lot of troubles with the teachers because the mischiefs, and this unite us until today.

After school he entered at university to study Medicine and he studied this for three years, but then he abandoned this career and he did choose to study Engineering until today. Now I do not see my friend often because we both are busy, but usually I see him at different parties and social meetings whit our friends and old classmates.

I hope you liked, byeee!!

Today I have to writte about a present that I received, and I really don't remember one in special because I don't like so much the possessions. Therefore I just can remember an experience more than a thing, and this experience was a journey for my birthday to Arica and Iquique with my family. My parents gave me this present and it was on 2012 when I was 18 years. That was our first journey on a plane and we were very excited, we went for four days and we toured all the important places.

On Arica we went to Morro de Arica that is important historically for Guerra del Pacífico and is a beautiful natural formation, very high where is possible to see all the city. Also we went to valley of San Miguel de Azapa and the museum of San Miguel de Azapa where there are Chinchorro's Mummys and many others things of archaeological importance. 

After, in Iquique we visited the Casino and the Beach, and we went to Escuela Santa María de Iquique but it was not open because it was on remodelation. Besides the place that I liked more in this journey was the salitreras of Humberston and Santa Laura that have a historical significance.

This was a special journey, I hope you enjoy this little story.

Post 1: Physical Anthropology

Hi everyone, today I going to talk about a free topic and I chose to talk about my career Physical Anthropology or Biological Anthropology. This discipline studies the human’s variability and evolution, and has several subdisciplines like Population Genetics which studies living population’s variability, Forensic Anthropology which studies human skeletal remains in legal contexts, Paleoanthropology which studies our evolutive ancestors or Primatology which studies the non-human primates to see the cultural relationship between them and the humans.

Personally, I want to work in Forensic Anthropology. This subdiscipline it has developed differently on different continents, for example, in Europe and Asia, Forensic Anthropology is taught in Schools of Medicine and Biology, whereas in America is taught inSchools of Social Sciences.

Specifically in Latin America, Forensic Anthropology it has developed for the necessity and the duty to reclaim the memory and to do justice for the victims of state crimes and human right violations like torture, murders and forces disappearances, in countries like Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and Chile.

Forensic Anthropology helps to identify the victims, determining sex, age, height and ancestry through the skeletal remains, examining the bones. Therefore, Forensic Anthropologist tries to find the guilty, andhelps the victim’s families to recover the dignity.

I hope you enjoyed and learned something new.
