Blog 4: Time travel to the past or future


 Mmm I think I would like to travel to both eras, but for a short time (a week in each), this would be to have time to explore, discover and reflect on situations that I will explain later. 

Usually, historical facts have several sources and stories that contradict each other (mainly when it comes to wars, discoveries and colonizations), for this reason I would go to the past to discover and observe to have an opinion about it, since many times in historical texts situations are "censored" or sometimes it is simply because they are unknown due to lack of archaeological material. Also, I would like to travel to the past to observe the way of life of some people who are no longer in the present, since sometimes anthropologists have the bad habit that when they do not know why such people did such activity, the answer will always be "ritual", being that it could not always have been so.


On the other hand, I would like to travel to the future because of the uncertainty of not knowing if the actions we are committing now will have any result in the future. For example, the climate crisis, social problems and technology. Technology in particular catches my attention, what will cell phones be like in another 100 years, and the question might even go further, will there be cell phones or will we be extinct by then due to global warming? 









As I mentioned before, my trips to these times would only be for a week, with what I discover in the future (related to climate change and social problems) I will tell you as soon as I get to the present to try to change if I see that in the future we will be very bad

    It is horrible to see how the climate crisis will worsen our future, it is very discouraging to know that bad things are coming:(((

    Everything is interpretation, probably if you travel to the past there will be many contradictions between the different actors although they are seeing the same fact. But as you say, if we travel to the past we can form our own opinion.

    I like the perspective of going back in time to better understand historical events from experience.

    I would like travel to the future too, I feel very curious about the societies in the future and how the humans solve their problems in this time.

    Traveling to the future should be interesting but discovering the results of global warming scares me so much.

    I would like to travel to the past to check history too. It would be very interested to know how much we get it wrong (or right)

Blog 3: My dream job

Pedagogy of history to Anthropology physic  Since elementary school I had  the dream of being a history teacher, in high school  the only thing  I did was  to enhance that dream. I prepared myself to give a good PTU  and be able  to enter the UMCE, I did history classes before the tests  and there  was even and time when  I gate private lessons to people outside my school, the truth is that I really liked teaching and more it if was  history. In my fourth year of high school,  I saw that this dream was getting closer and closer, and it was when I was finally able to reflect on the disadvantages of choosing this profession; job field and salary. I talked to many professors about the "unpleasant" part of this discipline, and sadly they confirmed what I already knew, it was very difficult to find a job, as there were quite a few history professors. Finally, I got into anthropology, at first it was for social anthropology, but now I feel I like physical anthropology more. I imagi

A photo and its Story

I took this photo on October 8 when I went to the Colonial Art Museum in San Francisco, there is a great diversity of animals in this place; chickens, cats, peacocks and fish. The peacock in the photo looked at my cell phone camera and I took the photo immediately. I like this photo because of the curious look the peacock has, as if it wants to identify who are the people who are visiting its quiet space.  The interesting thing about the moment of the photo was that the peacock was the one that approached me and not the other way around, I didn't even make a sound or movement for it to approach, it approached on its own. Apparently it was a peacock sociable with humans. I am struck by how natural the animal appears, almost always in peacock photos photographers expect the peacock to open its big wings, being that the look is also something quite interesting that we should appreciate more.
