4. Concluding paragraph

  Question: Various social commentators over the centuries, including Dostoevsky, have said that the degree of civilization of a country can be measured by the way it treats its inmates or those in prison. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this idea? Torture, mistreatment, abuse, and miserable and dangerous conditions are seen by many people as signs of barbarism. I am one of these people. I believe that when these negative social conditions and actions manifest themselves in a society, they indicate that something is wrong in that society. I will explain my reasons for this. Those who are most likely to be mistreated, tortured or held in terrible conditions are prisoners. Since the second half of the 20th century, with the implementation of Human Rights, profound progress has been made in guaranteeing human dignity to millions of people. However, prisoners are the ones who see their rights violated the most, either because societies think that for having committed crime...

3. Pro and contra arguments

Write two paragraphs that present arguments for and against in response to this question: There is a growing trend to view obesity as a public health problem that requires state intervention, while some people feel that this is a personal problem that must be resolved accordingly. How do you see this? I believe that obesity can lead to serious problems for the health of the population, in recent years Chile has led regional rankings on childhood obesity, I believe that this problem should be contained to have a healthy youth, for this, I believe that the state should promote healthy eating and strive to ensure this. Some diseases that obesity can cause are diabetes or heart disease. Despite this, which is a matter of public health, I believe that the perception of fat and obesity also has a sociocultural dimension, in which there is a rejection of fat, of poorly disciplined bodies, and I think that should change.  There is a tendency that believes that the State should address this...

2. Introductory paragraphs: Social movents and Inmigration

A. "Social movements in Chile and education" During the last few years in Chile, social movements have become an everyday thing within the framework of becoming democratic. In my opinion, they have come to strengthen the democratic system and learning processes. Some examples of these movements have been the "penguin movement" in 2006, which shook secondary education in Chile. In 2011 this movement had its greatest expression with a movement of university students that motivated major reforms to the Chilean educational system, the feminist movement of 2018 led mainly by university women generated great changes in relations within universities throughout the country. These social processes awaken great sources of sociological interest for future research and reviewing the impact of movements in classrooms and their learning processes. B. "Immigration in Chile" Immigration is an old process in our country, with German and English migrations in the 19th centu...
