Post Graduate Studies. Sociology

 I started my course without knowledge about what sociology really is. I always liked all humanistic and social sciences subjects, so I thought it was fine. Today I know that sociology is a really broad discipline and I have many options to choose a subject to specialize in. I would like to know more about the connection of economy and sociology, studying the creation and application of politics to solve social issues like inequality and vulnerability. Thinking about where I want to study, I’m not interested in student exchange programs, because sometimes adapt yourself to other places is an extra difficulty to your studies.  So far, I have only had online classes and I believe that this format has its benefits. For example, I don't have to waste time on transportation, so in the future I would like to study in a blended system, half online, half classroom classes.

  Gabriel García Márquez (1927-2014) was a Colombian novelist who won the novel prize for literature in 1960. He grew up in the town of Aracataca where he lived with his grandfather, he told him traditional stories of Latin America, which influenced his future work. He studied law and journalism at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia and wrote for the newspaper "El Espectador". He supported and worked for the Cuban revolutionary government, for a short time. He moved to France and then to Spain, writing and meeting other important authors. His work is relevant because recreates the mythological and magical point of view of the Latin-American folklore in his books and gives it a place in the universal literature. Some of his most important works are “One hundred years of solitude”, “Litter”, and “Chronicles of a death foretold” One of my favorite books is “One hundred years of solitude” and I've reread it a couple of times.
