Maybe it will not be the most important issue in country, but distribution of green areas in cities is a matter that every day, since many years, affects thousands of people. The goods inequality is obviously not just about money and social studies show how the quantity of green areas varies from commune to commune. Precisely because in between of everyday life that is a minor problem below serious and evident troubles, nobody takes care or just, specially in periphery communes, supplies it with some horrible squares each certain number of blocks.

Green areas are architecturally important points for social coexistence, places where neighbors can meet and children can play. By other side, they allow that individuals can rest in the outside and, at least in minimal grade, be in contact with nature. If some population have no enough green areas, in combination with other factors, it could be a serious problem not only for mental health but for integrity of population: social incoordination, low cohesion, and so on…


The state, in this government administration or in next, should be worried about this theme. Despite apparently there is no interest in it, building good quality parks, protecting the few forest that still exist and also planning in a better way the housing construction programs, could be alternatives to contribute the expansion of urban green areas.

Favorite food First, food is one of the greatest things that exist so I will enjoy writing this post. Second, I will be terribly hungry. Although I like food very much I do not know about culinary culture. For example, in international cuisine the only one I know is Peruvian food. That is because my father's wife is Peruvian and in her country she had a restaurant. As you can imagine, she cooks tasty dishes all days! When I go to their house I eat Carapulca, Papa a la Huancaína, Tamales, Ají de gallina... anything I want even to the point to be immobilized for have been eating so much. For that reason I always said Peruvian food is the best of the world; do not know another one is just a detail. My favorite national dish is Humitas and Porotos (‘con riendas’ and ‘con mazamorra’) and I try to eat them every time I can. But sadly, the most of the time the ingredients are avaible to be bought just in summer so you cannot eat those dishes whenever you want. I th

My future job I must confess I do not like any job. But because maybe I should survive, I think a good job could be work as a book’s editor. Some years ago I had thought to work as one of these but I did not know nothing about what means book’s edition so I started to learn. Even, I get the equipment necessary to have a little –very little– editorial with its own ability to make a full book: a printing house.  That is the job I would like to continue doing, but there are some bad things in it. To edit a book is a job harder than I had imagined. It requires a lot of time to make all the steps necessaries just to have a digital book. It is a lonely and repetitive work, just in front of a computer. And then you must make the book, what means, again, waste time and, by other hand, to have money to buy materials. Do not even talk about the sales, because sometimes people become angry when you sell them a good quality book (I mean, in content and making) in his correct price

I think I had written in other post I am not very interested in sociology. This means I do not remember the most of the subjects I have approved and, because of this reason, I do not know if as department we need to dedicate more hours to statistic or qualitative techniques, etc… However, I would like the career has a more philosophical orientation because I think sociologist we do not reflect sufficiently. For example, we are very skilled when we have to talk about the multiple ways of domination but we are not so sure when we must to say why this happen. Marx was a genius, nobody could reject that, but maybe he did not think enough this point. By the way, Benjamin did this and in his little –and unfinished – essay ‘Capitalism as a religion’ he tried to explain that a lot of sociological things have a non-sociological base. Other example, in his words: capitalism debt its success not just to the power of bourgeois and their ability to manipulate to State and to moral, but in
