Woodrow Wilson

I think the best on my field is Thomas Woodrow Wilson, best known by his middle name.

He studied law to eventually enter politics. After some bad experiences working in his law practice, he decided to apply to a History and Political Science Ph. D.After that, he began writing about the discipline. His writings are so good and popular that he is considered the “father” of the Public Administration studies in the United States. This is because Public Administration studies have two "streams": the european and the american.

Wilson’s writings are the bases of the actual studies of Political Science, at least in the American stream. They are very useful for many students and researchers all around the world.

The reason why I mostly admire Woodrow Wilson is that he was a President of the United States, meaning that he was able to put all his knowledge into practice. This means that he was the “ideal” person occupying the charge. He stills remains the only historian and political scientist to become president. Wilson is also known because he was President during World War I.

My career,

Since I was younger, I’ve always liked political sciences, politics, and the government in general. I’m studying this because I think Public Administration is very related to these areas. It has a very big area of studies, you learn from Law to Math; you learn English as well.

Professionals in this area need to have leadership, ethical principles and most of all a vocational interest. They contribute to society in many ways: helping to make and apply the public politics, helping other people with their problems, etc. They mostly work in the governmental organisms such as Ministries, Municipalities and other organizations; they can also work in non governmental organizations.

I actually don’t have a favourite subject, but if I need to choose I would choose “Elements of Law” because I have always liked Law as well.

I don’t know if this career is my “really vocation” but for the moment I like it very much.. I’m very happy with my choice.

A career related web-site.

I actually don’t have a favourite web-site related to the career, but I think the website www.gobierno.cl is pretty useful to know what the government is up to. I don’t visit it very often, I visit it about one time for week or so. It also has many links to other interesting web-sites related with the government such as the Ministries, the Congress, etc…

I found the site long time ago because the address is a little obvious and I also watched some advices on TV.

I like the site because you can find a lot of information about the government, such as projects, laws, the names of the authorities, etc. I think is very useful to know who are these people, what are the projects and what are going to do with you this laws or projects. It also can help us to do some jobs, I remember that I used the site to look for information to some school jobs.

My favourite piece of technology.

My favourite piece of technology is my iPod. An iPod is a mp3, photos and video player of the Apple brand, it isn’t too big nor too small. You can save a lot of songs, videos, photos and files because it also works as a hard disk. You can see the photos on its screen. My iPod has 60gb of space, I think the new ones have about 120gb.

I got it about three years ago as a birthday present. I mostly use it to listen to music; I don’t use it too much to watch videos or photos. Sometimes I use it to save some files as well. I use it every night when I’m trying to sleep, when I’m studying and when I travel.

I like it because it has enough space to save many songs and there’s no need to replace songs or change cds like a pen drive or a cd player would. Without it I think I would have a pen drive or something like that to listen to music, but it would definitively not be the same.

First post.

Hello, everybody!

My name is Sebastián (It’s ok if you just call me Seba). I was born in Santiago but when I was two, me and my family moved to La Serena, a very beautiful city, because my parents oversaw a very good opportunity to live in there.

What I expect of this activity is to improve my English writing abilities and to increase my vocabulary as well. I believe that you never end learning new words or grammatical rules. I also want to learn some idioms.

See You. Have a nice day!
