MY LAST FIELD TRIP


Together with the Rural II anthropology course went to the fourth region, specifically near the city of Salamanca to five hours by bus from Santiago. We divided into four groups, I played very near Salamanca travel only 3 km, a small village called "Faro".

We had to go to that place to study the impact it has had on the lives of people associated with mining activity and also see how agriculture has declined, an activity that until fifteen years ago was the main in the area. Our study was intended to include the vision of youth and adults, because of course there are contrasts between the two age ranges.

Every morning we got up early to seize the day, so after breakfast, we took our bikes and started traveling to different areas that we believe could help us to do interviews and talk to people as possible. This time we did two focus groups in two schools in Salamanca one of middle class and a lower class, and we established many distinctions between what young people think and feel according to the school he attends.

We concluded that poor school youth want to stay in the area to work in something related to the mine, because that's what makes money easier, however children are better educated want to leave this city, studying in Viña del Mar or La Serena and on completion, want to return to their families and take them out of Salamanca, but say that they want to return every so often during the holidays.

This is important from the anthropological study because we know the impact of mining on the lives of people besides the expectations they have towards the future and that there is awareness of the damage being done in nature by mining young people with better education, however those without access to better education is not recognized as much damage in nature.

  1. Good Rodolfo,

    -But, which is the subject in this sentence:

    "Together with the Rural II anthropology course went to the fourth region..."

    -In the following sentence, why don´t you put the relevant information, your focus, first? Change the order of the elements.

    "We had to go to that place to study the impact it has had on the lives of people associated with mining activity and also see how agriculture has declined, an activity that until fifteen years ago was the main in the area"

    -Is there subject/verb agreement in this sentence?

    "we established many distinctions between what young people think and feel according to the school he attends."

    -Isn´t a connector missing here,

    "however children are better educated want to leave this city"

    -Who says this?

    " but say that they want to return every so often during the holidays."

    -I don´t understand this sentence,

    "however those without access to better education is not recognized as much damage in nature."

    Very good ideas and development. Nevertheless, you should also worry about punctuation. For example, the last paragraph has three ideas together and no stops.

    You get 1.5 points.
