Introductory paragraphs: Immigration in Chile & Chilean education

-

Immigration in Chile:

Immigration in Chile has been one of the most relevant issues during the pandemic. The health crisis has made it evident that a large number of immigrants in Chile live and work in precarious conditions, generally informal work, without a contract and health insurance. Regarding their quality of life, they live crowded, with very high rental prices, and without social security. So, it is an urgency for the Chilean State improve its migration policies and ensure the well-being of migrants of all nationalities.

Chilean education:

 Some people say that education is the most powerful weapon. Education understood as an important part of the socialization of individuals, and as a vital component of social and cultural capital. Now in the case of Chile we must ask ourselves if this powerful weapon will be a weapon for personal growth and the development of our interests, or a business through which some are excluded for the benefit of others.
It seems that despite the contributions from the sociology of education we continue to be inserted in a culture where education produces and reproduces the inequalities of our society.

Obesity as a public health problem

Obesity should be considered a public health problem, since its existence shows us that there is a cultural problem: how we eat and what we can eat , a cultural problem that requires education, on the one hand, about habits healthy food and how conscious eating is an integral part of a good lifestyle, and on the other, the most important in my opinion, is that it requires a democratization of what we consider good nutrition, since not everyone can access vegetables all week, not everyone has time to plan their meals and not everyone has money to go to the nutritionist.

However, with regard to Chile, I do not know how feasible it would be, since economic interests are cro...

Prison and civilization: Concluding paragraph

-
In conclusion, I believe that we should rethink our prison system. Is it focused on social reintegration or only on punishment? What is the moral consideration that we are giving to those deprived of liberty?
