Hidden Curriculum of CES Don Bosco

I´m going to class at CES Don Bosco every day of the week, Monday to Friday, of course.  It´s my university and will be my work place during four years. Only I´ve gone 4 months to the university, because this is my first year in that place, but in this time y could see some things about the “hidden curriculum of DON BOS CES”.

To beginning and like say my sociology´s teacher “everything is clean”. It´s really true!! . The cleaner always are working, during the class, in the class where there are not any people. And when the class is over, they run to clean all the class to the next person for who want to enter to study, can do it in one place that there are very clean.

Other aspect of hidden curriculum, it can be the activities who program both “The direction” and “Asociación Bosmar”. In that 4 months that I´ve been on Don Bosco CES, I´ve been invited to 4 or 5 different extra-university activities. Differents representations on “salón de actos”, activities to go to visit to poor people or  elderly people in Christmas´s day.

The third aspect that I would want to comment, it´s the positions of the course’s class. I mean, the people who are studying the first year of the career,they are in the third floor. The people who are studying the second year of the career, they are on the second floor, and the people who are studying the last year of the career; they are in the first floor. So, that we are organized is one fact, but, in my opinion it´s one form to separate the years and to say “you have to pass the exams to can go to the other floor”.


Personal note to my teacher:

Thanks for everything.

Standford´s experiment

What do I think about that??

To beginning I have to say that I’ve never eared anything about this experiment, so the video that we watch in class, it was really strange to me. It was very interesting, and I learned how the human can her personality when you “give his” a specific role.

They was people of the same ages (more or less), they had the same social clash, etc, so… there wasn´t lot of differences between them.

It´s curious how one sunglasses, one specific uniform, in conclusion, ones roles symbols can to change the personality of one person. I´m talking about the polices and the prisoners.

It´s true, that they received some money to do this experiment, but, in my opinion, it´s one experiment very hard to life it, both polices and prisoners.

I have to say that I´ve never been in one experiment like that (uuuffff….) but I´ve to say that the tesis which the doctors wanted to prove… is a reality in our society.

One time, in one summer camp, the monitors said: “In this day, you´ll be monitor, and us, the monitors, will be camp´s kids”. I thought “GREAT! PERFECT!”. But it was not great and perfect. My personality with the other camp´s kids it wasn´t the same, my humor, neither. “I have the power” I thought, “everybody will do what I want”.

It was not very easy to me to admit that my behavior it was not the same, but some days after this day, I recognize that I was not be the same person. When I had the power, I was not “Ernesto”… I was “MR ERNESTO”.

To the people who read that blog and they don´t know anything of Stanford’s experiment, here you can watch it and then you can write me your opinion if you want.
