A Subject You Enjoy Studying This Semester

 I’m in fourth year of social work in Universidad de Chile, and today I will talk you about the subject I enjoy the most this semester. This subject is Social Analysis of the Territory here we study the complexity of the territory, this is related to the context, the relationships between people and everything that involves living in some space. In this subject, we learned about two principal approach. First the systemic approach related to understand the territory like a system that has communities, neighbors, and family and to enter in the study of complex territory is important to have the information of these three subjects. Second the Marxist approach, is based in studying the territory by a comprehension of the working market and the importance of the capital and how the capitalism logics configure every space.

In relation to the previous review, I could say that I definitely recommend this subject to other, besides if is a person that study social work. Is important to have this knowledge because is very superficial to comprehend the territory like a piece of land that lives people, it is a lot more complicated than that. In a territory there are ways that people interact in it, also that this vary between spaces. In fact, this is important to understand and I recommended to people that is interested in study some topic in particularly has no involve the practices and relationships that characterize each territory not only like a space where people live.

One of my favorite authors is Karl Marx he was a German philosopher, revolutionist, sociologist, historian, and economist who has made great changes in the world with the books he has written. One of my favorite is “The Communist Manifesto” which was written at a time of industrial and social change, where the economic growth was dependent on its workforce yet majority of the workers lived in poverty while their employers lived in wealth.  In his book he describes the class struggles and how the exploitation of one class to another would lead unavoidably to the overthrow of the ruling class by the working classes.

There is a very good quote that was in the book "In proportion therefore, as the repulsiveness of the work increases, the wage decreases." My interpretation of this is, as labor conditions become less favorable in relation to wage, the Proletariat "workers" will find their work unacceptable and incite a revolution. 

I believe Karl Marx made a difference in the world because his books help understand more about the injustice and inequality of the systems. He understood industrial capitalism was good but the cost of it was much bigger. I feel like people around the world are more aware of these injustices and are taking action just like he said.
