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 century and Latin American migrations in the late 20th century and a massive Peruvian community was formed. Since the 1990s and with the increasingly powerful economic growth and job opportunities, regional migrations have been strengthened and new migrant communities have emerged throughout the national territory, these are the immigration of Haitians, Venezuelans, Dominicans and Colombians. Unfortunately, this has led to strong racism rarely seen in Chilean society and this was enhanced with the arrival of the Piñera government to power, where a rejection of migrants became State policy. On the other hand, different social and academic organizations have been created with the aim of helping migrants to facilitate their settlement in the country. In my opinion, migration is deeply positive and generates a lot of cultural diversity and complicates social relations.
