Post 9 : Changes to my study program

With respect to english subject, I think that there have to make a big change in the program and establish the mandatory English, since is a very important tool for our life and future.  It’s not posible that a professional from University of Chile to graduate without knowing English. Also, the schedule that exists now is not confortable, we don`t have time to lunch and we have to run to the other class, is a big problem, and is because of this  that some student  don’t want to take this subject, or many times there is no capacity. With respect to other subject I think that in the first two year there should be more agricultural subject, in early years the University bombards us with very general subject, like calculus, algebra or chemestry, is because of this that many students suffer vocational crises. I think that we should be able to take specialized subjects before that the last years, subjects that we are passionate about, in the early years is very difficult to take elective

Post 8 : Personal Opinions

I would like to talk about immigration too . It is a very recurrent topic these days, since the government of Sebastian Piñera didn’t want to join the migratory pact of the ONU.

Here it is necessary to recognize that it really does, but it seems that it is hard for them to understand that irregular migrants are also people and therefore do not lose their human rights, or do they want to treat them like animals?. The Pact ensures that their fundamental rights are fulfilled, giving them access to basic services

Post 7: Environmental Conflicts

For us as Agronomists, who work directly with the earth's resources, the care of the environment and the issues related to the environmental conflict should concern us. Since there are resources that to some extent, depend on us, such as water and soil, it is up to us to change the paradigm that, for agronomists, business is not just business. An example very related to this is what happened in Petorca, a province that is in the current list of shortage decrees, thanks to the greedy idea of ​​four families to take over the water rights of the sector and handle them without any care. In addition to planting thousands of hectares of monocultures of avocados, which are species that consume a lot of water, in a soil with little retention. They were years and years that the government never fiscalized them. There are also industrial problems such as the example given by the teacher, Quintero / Ventana the biggest environmental problem these days, where we can realize that the g
