Max Weber the best in my field





Maximilian Carl Emil Weber (Érfurt, Germany, on April 21, 1864 - Munich, on June 14, 1920) was a philosopher, economist, jurist, historian, political scientist and German sociologist, considered one of the founders of the modern, antipositivist study, of the sociology and the public administration. His more important works relate to the sociology of the religion and the government, but also he wrote very much in the field of the economy.
In 'The policy as vocation', Weber defined the State as an entity that possesses a monopoly in the legitimate use of the force, a definition that was fundamental in the study of the political modern science in West. His theory was widely known before as the Thesis of Weber.
I like this personage since his works initiated the anti-positivist revolution in the social sciences, which the difference marked between these and the natural sciences, especially due to the social actions of the men and, in addition, because Weber on having spoken on the society, centres on the process of bureaucracy necessarily to earn efficiency and efficiency and institutionalism.
He is the best in my field because he said that the attributes of modern bureaucracy include its impersonality, concentration of the means of administration, a leveling effect on social and economic differences and implementation of a system of authority that is practically indestructible.

my major...

I study this major becouse i always be insterested about the cience politics, about the ‘realpolitik’ , and about the public administration. I didn`t know which major had all of this topics, but i discover this major and i say wow! This is my way!
Goverment and public administration it`s a major which professionals are intimately related to society, because they are the “head” of the country, the law impositors, and the soport of economy. A professional in my area must have many qualities to come out entitled: In addition to knowledge of politics, economics, law, etc.. he must speak several languages, be charismatic, diplomatic, and take a broad view of social processes.
to have these qualities then I think that all the subjects I use, but my favorite is "history of political institutions in Chile" because it is a complete and very interesting subject and I feel like I worked hard to adopt it and that's why I like .
