Blog 8: Isabel Allende


Today I want to talk about Isabel Allende


    She’s a Chilean writer born in 1942 in Peru. I pick her because I love her books, specific how she can transport you to other place far away (make you feel that you are climbing huge mountains or maybe running into the jungle) or how make you travel to other ages.

She’s part of a genre called magical realism where the writers mix magic elements with reality making this mix natural.

Is famous for novels like “The house of the spirits”, “city of the beasts”, even the house of the spirits have a American movie film in 1993 (I don’t like it really cause I thing that Americans stole our Chilean sold, because when I see it I don’t thing on Chile, it’s more like Mexico).

I met her books when one summer on 2006 I decided complete a challenge: Read all the books from my house, when I did it I found like 6 books from her cause my mom love it too.

She won more than 30 awards from different countries on Chile she won the literature prize.




I recommend read her books! 


Blog 7: Taylor

                

Today I’m going to talk about Frederick Taylor.


He had born in 1990 on Philadelphia, United States. Was a mechanic engineer and economist and he’s the founder of a current of thought on management, called “Scientific Administration”.

This current wants to divide the work and standardized it creating different kinds of workers. These workers have a specific role on industries for being more efficient and controlled. Also wants to appoint some kind of bosses, giving us some important theories about organization. 

Every idea was written in a work published in 1903 called “Shop Management”

I found him at my University because for my studies he’s really significant for the Public Administrators because their ideas are the foundations for the contemporary theories about efficacy, efficiency and effectiveness.

I met Taylor on my second semester of University (last year), in a class called “Organization Theory” and then I have to study him again this year on “Administrator Theory”, I thing that I’m going to study Taylor every year cause his knowledge its crucial for us.
