Max Weber.


He is a german sociologist. Born in Erfurt Prusia in 1864. Max Weber was the son of a lawyer and prominent politician of the Liberal Party. He studied at the universities of Heidelberg, Berlin and Gottingen. He had special interest in law, history and economics.In 1909 he founded the German Sociological Association. It was a great innovator in the social sciences in several respects, including the methodology: unlike the pioneers of sociology, Weber understood that the method of these disciplines could not be a mere imitation of those used by natural science, since social issues that involve individuals of conscience and intentions will be understood.
His work in social sciences:
Proposed the method of ideal types, subjective categories that describe the intent of the social partners through extreme cases, pure and free from ambiguity, but such cases never happened before in reality; Weber thus laid the foundations of the method of work modern sociology, and all the social sciences, based on building theoretical models that focus the analysis and discussion on rigorous concepts.
I like his work because of the great influence he had on the development of social sciences, including the science of management.He pioneered the field of social sciences. Great theorist of bureaucracy.Their influence is so important today, which is essential reference for any student interested in social research methods.

My Favourite page!

I studing Public Administration. When I need distraction visit many pages related to my career. Usually I visit the following page : http://www.e-torredebabel.com/Filosofia/Enlared/revistasenespanol.htm. Here are several academic contributions. You can find material on political philosophy. It's fun to understand through of the philosophy thinking the reality of our society. In this pages there are magazines, articles and abstracts related with policy, management and organizational culture.
In the page there are two sections that are essential:
The first: A sourch by subject. It have main function : search for articles by topic of interest.
The second: An index of publications. To this index gives direct access to journals and updated material.It is easy to select text to read directly accessing the titles of the documents.
Besides these features, the site allows my studies and intellectual development are complementary to the sites and authors already studied.
I check this site constantly (twice a month).Also visited other sites:
http://www.cienciapolitica.4t.com/ http://cienciapoliticauspt.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/vocabulario-para-ensayos-y-paginas-de-revistas/
I mostly use these pages to develop my work. Are very useful for finding references on various subjects. And as I said at first, to pass the hours of boredom.
I recommend them completely.

The play-station 3


The play-station 3 is a video game console. It has implemented the ultimate technology for the reproduction of images of high definition. It is a distraction for me.When I need fun I take a control and start playing. But the play-station 3 is not mine. My friend and me go a cyber-store. But not anything. We go to the store of another friend: Cristian. He is owner of the play-station. We only enjoy it.
Cristian studies in Valparaiso. He comes all the weekend. He has been my friend since childhood. Because of this every time that he is in Santiago we meet ( plus another friend ) to know how he is. I play almost every weekend but If I need distraction I may go for the cyber-store and begin to play. His parents are my friend too.
If I did not have access to the play maybe I would practice more sport or maybe not.
