Michel Foucault

The person I admire is Michel Foucault, although he is not sociologist, he has influenced this area of work a lot with his theories and studies.

Michel Foucault is a philosopher and social theorist born in Poitiers, France on october 15, 1926, and died on june 25 in Paris in 1984.
He is known for his critical studies of theories about power in social institutions, such as psychiatric hospitals, jails and school, and the forms of control they produce. Thus, it develops the concept of biopower and biopolitics, focusing on the theory of human sexuality.

One of his great works is "Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison, where he analyzes and questions the prinson, introducing the concept of society discipline.

In this way, it has influenced many areas of the social sciencies, having a great impact especially in political sociology.

I like this author, because I am interested in the issues of control of society and the power acquired by some institutions and how the reproduce human life.

In this photo I'm with the girls I'am in charge at scout with the other guides. At that time we were finishing our fall camp at a weekend in May in a country house of a scout member located near Melipilla. I don't remenber who took the picture, but I guess it was another guide. I really like this photo, because I feel it shows how we are. The girls are always very messy but at the same time funny and full of love to give. In the camp we had a good time, because we went with the boys and we made many games to have fun in addition to the free time we had all the children didn't stop running everywhere, it was impressive. This camp gave me a lot of desire to return to have hat energy that girls always have, it is very nice to work with them and to make you remember the moments when you only have to worry about playing. Now we will go winter camp next week, I hope we spend as well or better.

This time I want to talk about my little dog. My little dog is called Toto, like dog "The wizard of oz", because he looks like it. I don't know how old the dog is, because we found when he was kind of old and differents veterinarians said different ages, but I think he's about 6 years old. He arrived at my house in 2014 when a friend of a friend of my mom found him on the street. It was exciting when he came to my house, because it had been a lot of years since we had a pet. We loved him since the firts second. He is very affectionate, playful and funny dog, he always wants us to pet him. This last time it has been very difficult for me to be with him, because I had to do a lot of works and test, and stayed at the university of at some friend's house until very late studying or doing homework. When I get home I am vey tired and the only thing I want todo is rest, but he always comes to my bedroom to play with me for a while, so I'm with him during t
