The most incredible dreams



Everyone has dreams. From the earliest age the people has dreams about their future activity or trade. For example when we child, we wanted to be a doctor, astronaut, firefighter, pilot, musician, etc. but when we were growing up ours dreams change. Ours dreams of child are fulfilled but the human person needs the dreams to continue the life. In this moment appear the most incredible dreams that go beyond of the trade or the daily life. 

For example, Martin Luther King was a person concerned for others. He says, "Life´s most persistent and urgent question is, what are you doing for others?" He struggled unremittingly for the equality rights. He has a dream that his children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judge by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.  This kind of dream I like it. Dreams that go beyond our personal, but that project to the benefit of more people. The incredible, despite the sad end of Martin, is that today has achieved that equal rights for both "whites" and for color.

 The most impossible dreams can transforthemselves into reality if who to promote is persistent.

My old fotoblog




Is very difficult to say about my old fotoblog because everything that appears in the fotoblog produce in me shame, nostalgia, happiness, and sorrow, many mixed and strange emotions. The Fotoblog is a website when I can upload different pictures or gifs. On March 25, 2005 was the first time when I upload a photo to my fotoblog. I was 13 years old and I didn't know what to do. I was extroverted and childlike. Despite this I like visiting my fotoblog and remember who was and who am now. 

Usually I edited the photo because is more entertaining. The photo appearing at the beginning, I did upload on July 20, 2005 and show when I was child on vacation in the Rio Laja. I like the stars and the different colors, that´s why edit this photo.  

Then came fotolog.com and stopped using the photoblog. Used increasingly less and less each time rose photos. Appeared after Facebook, a platform that not only could upload pictures but chat, comment statements, etc.

Despite this occasionally to check my fotoblog and remember what you see as I am now and that made me think that things change and still remain.



Max Weber, an expert in the bureaucracy



Max Weber was a German sociologist, philosopher, and political economist whose ideas influenced social theorysocial research, and the entire discipline of sociology.

Weber described many ideal types of public administration and government in his masterpiece "Economy and Society". His critical study of the bureaucratisation of society became one of the most enduring parts of his work. It was Weber who began the studies of bureaucracy and whose works led to the popularisation of this term.

Weber in the economic level, regarded himself primarily as a "political economist", and all of his professorial appointments were in economics, though today his contributions in that field are largely overshadowed by his role as a founder of modern sociology. As an economist, Weber belonged to the "youngest" German historical school of economics. The great differences between that school's interests and methods on the one hand and those of the neoclassical school (from which modern mainstream economics largely derives) on the other, explain why Weber's influence on economics today is hard to discern.


The importance nowadays is the concept of bureaucracy because today the governments in the form of manage use this model. But the bureaucracy is not always the best form, because it involves excessive hierarchization.

The first time I heard Weber was before studying Public Administration. I was looking for some text that involved Protestantism with the economy and I found his book "Die Protestantische Ethik und der 'Geist' des Kapitalismus" (The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism). It is very interesting what expresses in his work and from there I learned more about him.
