Blog 8: PERSONAL OPINIONS

In today's post I will write my personal opinion on 4 different topics. First, child labor. About this I consider that it is a phenomenon that should not happen and that represents a violation of human rights towards children and adolescents. Likewise, I believe that combating this phenomenon is not enough with laws or their prohibition, but that it is necessary to implement a public policy of labour inspection and sanctioning of the industries that generate working spaces for children. In this sense, I also believe that it is necessary to improve the social policy for the protection of children's rights and the Senate institution, since both mechanisms not only reproduce injustices and violations of the right to childhood, but also state inaction against companies, reducing this type of problem to family responsibility. The second topic I will reflect on will be recycling, this topic is not in itself problematic, I believe that all or most of us are aware of its benefits, ho...

Blog 7: ANIMATED DISNEY/PIXAR CHARACTER

Imagen
Hello everyone, today I'm going to write to you about a Disney character I love, Elsa, from Frozen. She was originally the Princess of Arendelle, but later became the Queen. A special feature of this character is that she has superpowers, she can control ice and freeze things. This makes her very insecure, as she is afraid of damaging her kingdom and her loved ones. I don't want to spoil the movies, so I won't go into any more detail.  Still, I want to tell you why he's my favorite Disney character. This is because of many things, including his personality, which at a certain point identifies me. She is powerful, intelligent, strong, capable of many things, but very insecure and distrustful, so much so that she is self-sabotaging and a victim of her own stupidity. However, she manages to overcome her emotional barriers and realize how special she is. Besides, she sings beautifully and when she empowers herself she has an attitude worthy of any bad ass hahaha. Here is a ...

Blog 9: CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

Personally if I had a genius of wishes, that could change the social work curriculum, I feel that it would take me an entire afternoon to tell you what I would like to change on it. First, I would like to restructure the subject approaches, for example, to courses like “ Critical approaches to social work ” I would take you to combine or mix the theoretical approach you already have with the national context. In terms of the application of theoretical branches to contingent socio-cultural situations, I would add to subjects like social psychology a section of tools for person-to-person interactions or self-care tools for the professional future. On the other hand, the research nuclei would be modified by the evaluations, eliminating the standardized character of evaluation, since each nucleus has its particularities and not all can be evaluated through the same mechanism: a written theoretical report. Regarding the teaching staff, despite the fact that I feel that they are all highly q...

Blog 5: MY FUTURE JOB

Social Work is a profession that has a lot of work, but I would like to work in child intervention and lgbtiqa+ groups. Both are areas that I like very much and I consider that they have many problems of exclusion, marginalization and above all that they are not taken seriously in public policy.  In this sense, I would like to mix internal and external work, that is to say, to do work in the field on behalf of institutions or the government and at the same time to do research independently or in some NGO's. Regarding the salary, I think that it will not be very good hahha, the profession is not very good in those terms, but I think that mixing intervention and developing research projects should not be so bad (I hope). Actually, as long as it helps me to survive I'm happy. I think the important thing is to feel comfortable with the profession and with yourself more than the amount of money you have. I am currently studying a specialization in interdisciplinary studies of Social...
