About interesting career-related topics

This term I take an elective subject called “Social movements in Latin America” is very interesting; the professor’s name is Carlos Ruiz and he is one of the experts in history of Latin America.

The principal themes of the subject are the theory about the movements in the world and in America and three or fours cases of particulars movements in countries like Argentina, Mexico and Brazil.

I was attracted to this subject because I really like the history of Latin America, it is interesting, special , and is not similar to others continents or countries. This term I learned a lot of this social movement.

This year I was thinking to do my thesis in a topic related whit this subject, I don’t think do it in this particular theme, but something similar.

In the following websites are there information about this subject, the first one is a definition of social movements, and the second is the program about this subject.
