Gender Stereotypes (Reflection)

-

It’s obvious that gender stereotypes are still present in society but, how do we end them? 

The solution is education. Most people are afraid to end them for the opinion of others. As human beings we always tend to judge the appearance, actions or words of the rest and we don’t realize that we inhibit their freedom of expression. So, we must educate people, especially children, to leave this prejudice called “gender stereotype”. Although it’s difficult because constantly the publicity and the communication media promote how a woman and a man should be and behave.

To generate this change, we must start by tearing down sexism.

What is your opinion about smart phones? In my opinion, Smart phones are equipment very used for people. Occupying them a lot can have consequences in sight.

Post 2: My best concert

A concert that I will never forget is Shakira in 2018. It was at the National Stadium on October 30 th . At that time I was living in Puerto Montt and had to travel to Santiago. I remember it was a Tuesday; I travelled the same day of the concert by plane. My mom had to take me out of school at noon while I was giving a test. To the concert I was accompanied by my cousin Natalia who was waiting for me in Santiago. The concert started at 8 p.m. and we arrived around 5.30 p.m., we were very anxious.
