The person that I admire is...

I admire a teacher of the university. His name is Octavio Avendaño. He studied sociology in the University of Chile. He graduated in sociology and later in comparative politics in the University of Florencia, in Italy. He’s  a good teacher and he motivates me to study sociology.


Avendaño is teacher of sociological theory and an elective called “Comparative Politics Sociology”. Both are great signatures, but the elective is more interesting because students learn new things, for example you learn about neo-populism in Latin America, authoritarian regimes in Brasil, Argentina, Chile, democracies, and others interesting topics like authoritarianism in Eastern Europe. That was very interesting. So, I recommend to my partners to take this good elective. Also, the comparation is a good method for social sciences, especially for sociology.  




In sociological theory Avendaño talk about three classical sociologist: Emile Durkheim, Max Weber and Karl Marx.

His tests are very long because it last aproximately three hours. If is necesary he does test on Saturday’s morning. That`s terrible! But when you end the test you can go to your house and to sleep all afternoon.

Bye!! :)

  2. Octavio Avendaño is a great teacher, really. His compromise and persistence are admirable. My dear Daniela, I remember the test of Saturday`s morning, but were not terrible for me (not so much, jajajaj)
