Actually there are many challenges for the sociology. These problems have to be resolved by the sociology to continue developing as a science. First, about the technology, the sociology and the social sciences in general, have developed a lot of instruments technologies to make investigation, like the statistic softwares . These programs have mean great developing and facilities to make investigation, increasing the speed and precision of the investigation. But there are many challenges about this. For example, the actualization of the softwares, the high cost and the complex use of them. You have to be an expert to use them, and the licenses to use them expired in a very short time. The solution is the expanding of this kind of programs, a deep teaching in the universities of them, or the piracy…


About social matters is important to develop a real integration of the people, decrease the inequality in the society, in the education, the health, the opportunities. The sociology has to give answers to this kind of problem. There are many others problems like the poverty, the discrimination. Some of these problems are reproduced in the education in the university. Differences between social classes played in education in university. People who get more social level have higher scores on the psu and therefore have easier access to university. This inequality can be seen also in materials that are available for study. Actually is necessary to generate more discussions in the career about social problems. I think that this is the solution, make more spaces to discuses about themes that are in the social context. This is similar to the education. Is important consider new theories and discuses about the sociology. This is apply in the last years of the career, but I think that is important do it in all the career, since the first year of study. Also, is important to include more Chilean theory, closer to our reality, not only European and north American sociology. For this reason are important the congres that are being developed in Chile and latinamerica.
