Task 5: Antropology

Anthropology is an area of social science witch specialty is the study of a culture. It has been many different definitions depend of the place that you see.
If you are a Social Anthropologist your study object will be the life culture and the cultural variation. But, if you are a physical anthropologist probably will define it like the study of the biological changes on the Homo sapiens, the influence of pathology illness in the human population. If you are an archeologist probably will define the study of anthropology like the study of material remains of died culture.
Sincerely I don’t know why I decide study specifically anthropology and no other career like sociology and psychology, maybe because at first sight it seems to be a holistic discipline where field work was an everyday issue. But it was a completely disappointment. I’m in second year and I haven’t had any field work, the career is more of the same academic works, with academics ways of see the reality, totally theory way. But I won’t take any decision yet, I want to wait until the time said me something new.

task 3: A website

There are many useful websites to visit if you are finding believable information for college homework. But there are one them that you needs to put first than anyone, this site is Google. For me, Google is the door of enter into any scientific webpage. This is a finder, a kind of tool that helps you to find anything.
If you want to find a picture, maps. The only thing that you have to do is click on the link “imagen” and then writes the word that you were looking for.
If you want to find a scientific paper about “the bonobos”, you have to write “google académico” then automatically appear the website http://scholar.google.cl/ that show you the recently paper and the oldest to.
The same thing happens if you are looking for an anthropology blog. You write “google blogs” and automatically appear the webpage http://blogsearch.google.cl/ , then you have to write a simple character that you are finding like “anthropology” and surprise!, 555,621 result for your search.

Task 4: Photo of Candelaria's Virgen Carnival

This picture was taken by me just in the moment that the Peruvians were celebrated the Candelaria’s Virgin day. That are a very old tradition in many places of the Andina region and every year the people realized processions whit the Virgen in their arms from one church along the streets, around the city until they arrive in other church and finish their procession. Those are huge celebrations where the people dress up as weird character. For example, that day had one men dressed up as a typical native girl calls “chola”, he had dreadlocks, a pink dress, high-heeled shoes and a girl mask on his face.

That was so stranger for me and my friends, because we thought that situation like a men dressed up as queer men. But the native people seemed be calm whit that situation, seemed like that didn’t matter wasn’t nothing out of ordinary things that happen every day. We thought that Peruvians were more strict and conserve but then we could understand that the carnival is the carnival, and every type of thing, like a men dressed up as a girl, is allow.

That are a cultural tradition, and in the beginning there had to have a meaning, but we never could found the answer.

2. The computer

Hi,
Well, I think that the most incredible piece of technology is computer. I got my first computer when I was seven and I used it only to play computer's games. My father gave me a CD with 150 games, the time passed so quickly in front of the computer, it was very entertaining. Then I changed it because it was very slow, for another one much faster.
My parents conected it to internet, which meant a entrance door to another world. But it was so expensive that my parents decided to forbid it. But it didn't matter because I had many games to play like "Age Of Empires", "The sims" and "Sim Theme Park". At that time I used to play every day for about 2 or 3 hours, but today I use it for about 1 or 5 hours depending on the homeworks.
I think that the computer is a wonderfull tool to connect you another people and more than everithing, to connect with other ideas.
