The role of a man and a woman in society

The topic of the roles of Women and Men in Society has been very important for history. Each country has developed differently and in accordance with their culture is the role that men and women have.

I think that in my country, Chile, the difference in the role of a man and woman is not as strong. I think people have been able to adapt to new needs, for example today is normal for women to work and every day is integrates a little more in the different areas, but still there are differences in pay for equal work and also sometimes women are discriminated against because they might become pregnant, which would mean an extra expense for the company.

Furthermore, although women have joined the workforce, have not neglected the housework. I think it is time that men are aware of the changes that has taken our society and understand that should begin to participate more actively in housework.

I believe in my country, the life is more  easier for men because  they usually focus only on work, but women must work, look after the house and if they have children must to worry about their care (but we must not be radical, because there are exceptions!)

Finally I think the full equal of men and women is not possible because everyone has different skills and characteristics that make it better or worse for tasks that are necessary in a society. However, I believe it is necessary that the door is open so that each person has the option to choose which role they want to have.

Cell phone ♥

If I had to choose which is my favorite piece of technology, I would say that I do not like technology, but in reality is a lie.

There are piece of technology that I like to use almost every day as my laptop or my mp4, but if I had to choose which is my favorite piece of technology, I would choose my cell phone because I can communicate with my family and the people I love, because I can send messages, store photos, listen to music or play.

I have my cell phone since last year, I think that from September. Was a gift from my dad because I stole my dear and old cell

I use my cell phone every day, especially the alarm to wake up. But what I more like is that with the push of a button you can be talking to someone who is far or you can contact in case of any emergency.

Anyway I think I could live without my cell phone, but I would feel as disconnected from the world.I think you should  be good sometimes to feel the freedom of not relying on technology and to enjoy those things that sometimes we ignore.

Hello, in this post I want to talk about the friendship in general and in my experience with that.
For me, a friend is the person that you can trust and you can share with them in the free times. In general, your friends have the similar tastes or things in common. Friends help and accompany in the most difficult situations, but also in happy moments (:

I like meeting people, but I have trouble making friends because It’s very hard for me trust in the people.  However in the university I found beautiful people that show me that, friendship is something simple that just come spontaneously.

 I love my friends because they are very happy and sincere, behave most of my day with them, study and also have fun together.

For my friends I am able to do many things… in this moment I do not remember anything crazy I've done for a friend, but I will never forget my crazy friends who followed me in an unexpected trip. That day I learned to value more!

My Blog

Hi, my name is Javiera, I`am 19 years old and I study Public Administration.

Have this blog will be a great challenge for me. In general it is difficult for me to write what I think or what I feel and more even if it is in English. However, I want to use this tool and opportunity for improve my writing and to learn from my peers.

Blogger is a tool that I had already used before and I think it's a good way to motivate us to use English in all aspects of our lives.

I hope you visit me!
