A Clockwork Orange

Hello

Now I’m going to talk about a very special film called “A Clockwork Orange”. This movie was directed by the famous Stanley Kubrick on 1971, and it’s based on a novel of Anthony Burgess published on 1962.

A Clockwork Orange tries about a young man called Alex. He with his band “The drugs” (Pete, Georgie y el Lerdo) drink milk with drugs that produce violence on they. Then the boys attack to much people. Alex quarrel with his band and kill a woman. He is condemned to prison for a long time. But some doctors do an experiment of psychology conditioning.

Thanks to this, Alex can be free, but he can’t adapt at the society, because everybody hate him for the attacks he do in the past. Finally Alex try to suicide and everybody think that he is the victim of the psychological experiment.

 I like very much the film, because it’ very interesting, and it’ put the theme of the psychological experiments in discussion.

I think that the experiment limit the freedom of the protagonist, because it not change the thinking of Alex, but it condition his behavior.

A place you'd like to visit

Thailand

If I have got the money you need to go wherever I want, I would go to Thailand, because it’s a country very exotic, interesting and heavenly. Moreover it should be a place really interesting about culture, and it’s something very important for me in connection with the anthropology.

About Thailand I know that It is a country located at the centre of the Indochina peninsula and Southeast Asia, The official language is the Thai. And the Thailand’s culture has been traditionally iinfluenced for the China and India’s cultures.

Always I like the stranger things, and in Thailand must have very exotic things, considering since the nature, animals, vegetation, until the people, the culture and the customs.

The landscape of Thailand must be beautiful, full colors, heavenly. I imagine this place like the paradise. Whit wonderful beaches and the life must be moving, in the open air.

When I am anthropologist and I can travel to somewhere to make a study, the first place will be Thailand. I imagine people very interesting, with much relationship with the environment.

The Arts

Today in my blog, I’m going to talk about arts. I love the art, because through it, we can express own ideas, emotion and feelings. Most specifically I like the visual arts: photography, sculpture, paint and draw. Before I studied Anthropology, I was studying Visual Arts in the UCSH, and still it is an activity very important in my life, it’s more than just a hobby, because it’s the thing that inspire to me and my life.

My artists favorites are Picasso, Dalí, Gaugin, Miro, Claudio Bravo, Miguel Angel Da Vinci and a lot more. Personally to me, what I most like about the art  is draw, and specifically I like draw human body, because I think it is beautiful, expressive and very sublime.

In the future I would like to relate my career with the artistic activities, it would be very interesting and I would enjoy more my work in the future.

A new and strange term

This semester is especially different, because we were strike during six Mons. But now we comeback to class and I hope that we could learn all the knowledge necessary to we will be goods professionals. This semester I am taking seven subjects: Anthropology IV (Structuralism), Ethnology, Ethnography, English IV, Prehistory, Psychology and Research Workshop.

It is complicated studied in summer in Santiago of Chile, because it is very hot, the temperature highest is around the 34º average. On the other hand it is complicated too because we can’t take a vacations, we can’t go away; we can’t go to travel and enjoy the summer like every year.

The Christmas time it’s very close, we have to buy present for the family, but we haven’t the time sufficient for think on this things. And we neither going to enjoy the New Year.
