Finishing the semester...

We’re so close to finish this semester and is good to do an evaluation about what we learned and what things we should still practicing.

In the beginning of this semester I had passed a lot of time without practicing my English, so I was a little insecure with the class. However, when the classes started I could realize that it wouldn’t be that difficult because the activities were kind of funny and relax.

The first time when I heard about write blogs I was afraid because for me, writing is hardest part of English and the thing that I haven’t practiced that much. So that’s why I think the activity was a great opportunity to learn. Also, the topics were very interesting, and It wasn’t boring because were things that we liked and they’re a known for us, therefore I had fun sharing my stories, opinions and tastes.

Besides, I really liked the part about commenting the blogs of the classmates and teacher, because maybe was an instance to know each other more and have a closer experience in the class, we had the opportunity to share a lot of things and opinions about current topics, creating a nice environment.

I would like to continue with this form of learning in the future because was helpful and an interesting way.  I hope I will be able to practice more and more about writing and that we could take it to another level!

Education with a new point of view

First of all, I think education is the base of everything, so a good education that does not discriminate and understand the current needs of our society, could be the change to make a best and fair world. It’s well known that we live in patriarchal society, where the gender gap is huge. Therefore, the feminist movements of this year have opened a space to think about these problems, change minds and make a real change. The new generations could have the opportunity to grow up in a society where women are empowered and respected, because the way to educate is changing from these movements. Students who are continuously learning, can change the way to see women, avoiding the wrong stereotypes that sexist education has imposed.

I think the female movements and petitions are really necessary to evidence the violence against women. Women from all over the world are exposing the things which have to stop. The demonstrations pro-abortion in Argentina, the Hollywood denunciations for harassment and feminist revolution in Chile as well, have demonstrated that women won’t accept the violence and discrimination in any of its forms anymore. They have made the society could realize about the things that are wrong and a non-sexist education have an important role here.

I've enjoyed this Subject!

As I said before, I really like the audiovisual area. So this semester I’ve enjoyed the “TV subject” that it called “Periodismo Televisivo”, in it we have learned how television and their programs works. For that, we have learned about professional cameras, equipment sound, the TV studio and the most I like: the switch.

The principal activity, which we have worked, it has been to create a TV program. With my work group, we are doing a cultural program called “Santiago Culto” and It’s about show different artistics things in the city, the unconventional art contrasted with the conventional one. My work in the program is be the director's assistant, although it's stressful, I like it a lot! Having this charge means coordinating the program with the director, and work in the switch.

Santiago Culto it will be broadcast live, so we are preparing everything, it’s a lot of work but I think It will result in a good program.
