Pet maltreatment

Pet maltreatment is a topic that takes more relevance in the last years and in my opinion should be consider like a social problem. In spite of having a law, people don't obey this and pet maltreatment of more common and frequently that we know.

Everyday we can see on internet photographs and  news who tell us about this problem, and show us abandoned and wounded pets. There's no one form of pet maltreatment. The fist one is when a person hits, cuts or burns his pet. Another form of maltreatment is when you use the pet for win money. For example , when animals have to makes a show or another case is when they use animals, especially dogs, to fight with another animal.

Luckily in the last years, people are more aware about this problem and a lot of people denounce this crime on the internet or in the Protective society of animals. In the last time, we can see that appear a lot of new organization that interest about pet maltreatment. The members of this organizations are chiefly young people. However, I think we have to still improve in this aspect

Finally, I may be wrong but I think, we have pets to give they love and protection, because they become part of our family. I hope, this problem could be finish in a couple of year, but like other problems it's very difficult   get over if we don't do anything now!

The person that I admire on my fields is called Pierre Bordieu. He was a French sociologist, anthropologist and philosopher who was born on August first, in 1930.

Bordieu is one of the most famous sociologist in our times, because he reformulated the modern sociology. He decided to devote to sociology when he was in Argelia doing the military service. When he came back, published a lot of books about the society in Argelia.

His contribution on my field, social science, whit another perspective. He created an action theory, and he gave a lot of importance to cultural diversity and symbolical concept.

The strongest critique that people make to Bourdieu was that he had a vision deterministic of the reality.

I admired Bordieu because when I readed him, I believed what he said. I readed about him " The distinction" and "The sociologist trade", both are very interesting book and the and I think that he is one of the most intelligent person that I have to read. I would like, when I was older than now, understand the society like him, and who knows I could reformulate again the sociology.

Hi everybody :) 

Today I'm going to talk about one of  my favorite band. Its name is "La Nelson Domiguez"and it's from Chile. This is a new band that borned only one year ago. La Nelson Dominguez is composes about five incredibles musicians. Each one of them help to write the music. La Nelson Dominguez is a Jazz manoush band that everyday play music in Brazil squared. It call La Nelson Dominguez, because in Brazil squared live a vagabond, who recites poems and dances a lot when the band practice. Its's not a popular band, but it is very good, the best chilena band I think.

I like this band, because I like this type of music, but also because La nelson Domiguez is the band about my cousin and I think he is the best guitarrist in the wolrd. I don't know if it's totally true but I love him and I 'm his fan number one.

I hope that you listen to songs about La Nelson Domiguez and that you like a lot as mine. 

Here I post a link about them. It's a little documentary about the band.
