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 .

the web site...


I usually enjoy visiting the web site http://www.u-cursos.cl/ in this site my teachers upload many documents to read for de class, they send theirs notices, notes, and follow-ups by means of this page. It makes this site very important. Also, my classmates usually doing comments and upload summaries of the documents.

This site makes me interact with my teachers and classmates and it is a very useful tool…
In a beginning, I didn’t know this web site; I knew it, almost obliged, for the need to have the information that the teachers send… One of my classmates gave to me the link and I couldn't enter ... I had to do many attempts until I achieved it

Today I’m visiting ‘u-cursos’ many times in the day, because, frequently, there are documents and new notes that to read. If I wasn't visiting it I would get lost of many important things and would be lost inside the career.

Oh! I forgot it, I will upload all the powerpoints of the semester of the teacher navarrete to 'u-cursos'...


bye!

my bed... the best piece of technology!


"The technology is a wide concept that includes a set of skills, knowledge and processes, which serve for the design and construction of objects to satisfy human needs."

Following this definition, my favorite piece of technology is the bed. (Set constituted generally by one framework of wood or metal with mattress, pillow, sheets and other clothes, destined to that the persons sleep in it).

When I was born my parents bought me my first bed that was very tiny, since that moment I had had a lot of beds…. Different beds!

I put on my pajamas; I position myself between the mattress and the blankets and then I fall asleep. This is how I use it; and I use it every night and sometimes during the day.

I like my bed because is so soft, warm and comfortable. If I didn’t have my bed I would suffer very much, then I might not sleep well and my time of rest would be a torture

Destroying insects!!


… Another petal falls…

Another sorrow increases …

… Other kisses I will search again …

squashing butterflies!

Already do not follow what you does not belong,

Release the hand that I give you,

And takes the hand of all.

The same damned hand

The same hurry that removes them to all

squashing butterflies!
Will you follow what they all follow?

Will you continue with the routine of your life?

One more …

One more …

A petal that falls down,

As many others

That live and fall down:

Squashing butterflies …
