Palestinian Immigration

In the last few years, the immigration has experienced a big increase in Chile. In this case, the main topic would be the Palestinians.

This people have to change his habits to integrate without problems in our country, but after all, they still maintain part of their culture. Furthermore, some of the Palestinians have managed to work in many commercial areas, and some other related with their gastronomy, that it looks very interesting in our continent.

I’m interested to know more about the syncretism as result of their new life in Chile, about all the obstacles that they used to confront since they moved, and the experience to adapt in a new country so far in contrast to their native country, with a lot of differences in language, culture, and beliefs. So as a question I would say: ¿What are the main changes that the Palestinians have experimented in their culture and life after moving to Chile?

To obtain the more effective information for this research, I think that the mix methods like qualitative and quantitative types are the more suitable, like the interviews and surveys; this will be the method to follow, because they are the closest way to get the experiences of the immigrants.

To conclude, I think that a research that studies this type of facts in the society, would help us to understand in a better way the changes that we see actually in our countries, as a result of the lately globalisation. Doing this, we would find appropriate solutions to the principal problems about immigration.

Sub-aquatic archaeology

Right now, the world it’s a lot more water than earth, and this would mean that the seas are a great source of old human devices. Just like the archaeology have many ways to study the human heritage in the earth, like stratigraphy. Many of the early human groups used to live near the seas, they made vessels to fishing. I think that the seas are very important to know more about the human behavior, many archaeologists have studied topics related whit this, like Geoffrey N. Bailey and Nicholas C. Flemming, in their paper “Archaeology of the continental shelf: Marine resources, submerged landscapes and underwater archaeology. The use of radars would be helpful in the mission to restore any archeological artifact, and to have a group of skilled divers trained to search at the bottoms of the sea, must be an primordial objective, because they must be very careful in the research to recognize any device without damage it in the process, to extract all of them and give it to a laboratory. With the help of the objects founded, the investigations would have more accurate results.

A little introduction

Hi, my name is Alvaro, it’s nice to make a blog again, now I would talk a little about me.

In my early years of study, I started in Arica College; I do all my primary and secondary education in that school. When I finish, I spend a year working as assistant of an electrical technician. I really enjoyed that work, because I like to work with any type of tools, I used to repair and keep in good state a big variety of engines

In that days I don’t used to be sure to study a career at any university, but I decided to go to "Universidad de Chile" if I continue studying. I used to live in Arica, but I never liked that city, so I always have been waiting for the chance to go out and very far of my city. When I finally can have the opportunity to go to Santiago, that capital of my country, I was very happy. I think that it’s the best success in my life, after that, I decided to do again the test to enter to any university, and then I could enter to “U. de Chile”. Now I am starting my second semester in anthropology, I am very enthusiastic about my academic future.
