Brazil, a country that I would like to visit


I would really like to go to Brazil for many reasons, principally because I admire the story and culture of this country.  First of all, I really like the brazilian music, wich has an african influence. I like Chico Buarque a lot, so the lambada and bossanova. Second, Im also very interested in the history of this country, because Brazil have a very powerfull union (the brazilian CUT). Third, I know that the people of this country is very happy, and I can see that in their dances, their music, even in their tv series. About this tv series, I watched “el color del pecado”, and  “tierra esperanza”, and I think that they are very entreteined.
Besides, sociology has a strengt development in Brazil. For example, cardosso is a very important sociologist, who develop the “dependence theory” with Faletto (chilean sociologist). That is why I would really like to do my master in this country. Hopefully, in the future I will go there to study something related to latinoamerican history.

Finally, this is a song of chico buarque, wich likes me a lot J

Mi ideal job will be to be a teacher of a school, that practice popular education, because my politic work is very important to me, and I think that popular education is a way to transform the society in a positive way. Popular education let people communicate their oppression, facing  injustices. Its principles are the communication, love, and respect to each other.
This is a job very dificult to find, because the principles behind the official school are contrarios to the principles of popular education. At schools, generally, people learn all memory in a non-critical way. This is the way to teach for the goverment, a non critical knowlege.
By the other hand, this job requires a politic knowlege, and metodologies. Also requires  patience and dedication, because is difficult teach without hierarchies.
I really like to have a job like this, but I know that is very difficult. However, I think that is possible to work in popular education in my free time. Hopefully, I will deal with both things: my job and my political interest.
