My favourite piece of technology: my mp3

Mp3 is a digital audio player. It is very small to carry it everywhere. My mp3 has 1GB capacity, so I can store around 400 songs. In addition to my mp3 I can listen to the radio. It is important: to listen to music must be mp3 and headphones.

I always go out with my mp3, is my best company, especially on long trips by bus and metro in Santiago, because I live in Puente Alto and everything I have away. I use my mp3 in secret; because I always use it on the street or on public transport and I can steal. I use my mp3 mostly when I travel, but sometimes instead of listening to music for study or do both. Also I use it in my house, when they are noise and I can not concentrate.

I love my mp3 because I like the music. So my life without mp3 is a life without music, so sad. I like music because this can teach things with its letters and the music through its melodies can transmit different emotions and it can transport different places. From my vision, to travel with music is to put “background music” to my life and this is important because sometimes my feelings are transmitting for the music. And the best thing is that I choose the soundtrack!

PD: I put a photo of my mp3, is the same!

I love Chilean music

I love Chilean music, I think that this king of music have much content and to represent the “be Chilean”.
The styles that I like are rock, funk and folklore. I love dance cueca and I like the letters of the songs. The dance consist in the conquest of the men toward the woman, therefore the woman is directed by dance, contrary to dance salsa or merengue. There are different types of the cueca like Argentinean, Peruvian and Bolivian. But there are diverse kings inside of the Chilean territory, too, for example there are the northern cueca, “cueca porteña”, “cueca chora”, “cueca brava”, “cueca chilota” and “cueca campesina”. I like all because each transmit particular histories of the persons that to compose. These songs transmit the culture of a part of the Chilean people.
I am a fan of Chilean rock groups, principally of Chancho en Piedra, Weichafe and Fother Muckers. In the case of Weichafe is a group of heavy rock that is separated; there to separated in the 2009, where have ten years. The others groups still are together.
Anyway, I like singer-songwriter such as Manuel García, Camila Moreno, Chinoy and Victor Jara. Victor Jara has a history very special because he was victim of the military period of our country and he gave his life for his dream.
From the above is clear because I have trouble English. I listen only Chilean music because is the music that more represent me.

The excepcional Marvin Harris

Marvin Harris was an American anthropology. He born on August 18, 1927 and he died on October 25, 2001. He studied in the Columbia University. He worked in the same university and, later, in the University of the Florida. His fieldwork more important is in Mozambique in the 1957.
Marvin Harris is recognized because he was an exponent of the cultural materialism. In your works, he used elements of Marxist theory, for example: superstructure, modes of production and exploitation. As well, he worked with demographic studies conducted Malthus. In this way, he developed a new perspective to see sociocultural evolution, said what the social reality consist of three levels: infrastructure (demographic and productive factors), structure (the set of institutions) and suprastructure (ideologies that explain the reality). These three levels are connected.
I like Marvin Harris because is an anthropology that write very clear; their works has a simple language. I read a part of his book Cows, Pigs, Wars and Witches: The Riddles of Culture and I really like because it found explanations for social phenomena were very consistent, for example the cows in the Indian are sacred because has a lot roles as animal, for example poop is used as fertilized.
