Tribus Urbanas

En la actualidad se puede encontrar una gran variedad de tribus urbanas, como los hippies, los punks, y muchas más. Con mis compañeras nos concentramos en la tribu de los Grunges. A continuación dejo una presentación donde presentamos los Grunges.

Retrato de un compañero

En Arte la profesora nos propuso hacer el retrato de un compañero en cuatro técnicas diferentes. La primera era en lápiz, luego con grafismos en lapicera y otro en color. Seguido de eso debíamos elegir pinturas en donde nos gustaba o llamaba la atención la técnica o la paleta de colores del dibujo, y a partir de eso debíamos utilizar lo elegido para crear el retrato de nuestro compañero.

En el último trabajo incluí la paleta de colores utilizada por Wassily Kandinsky y parte de Frida Kahlo. Elegí hacer mi dibujo en un círculo ya que el retrato quedaba más centrado.

Bias

In the subject of Thinking Skills we have been studying credibility criteria, which has many types. One of them is Bias. Bias is when one person or a source pre-judges, taking one-sided arguments which makes them reject any type of evidence that is against their beliefs. This leads to the distortion of evidence, where sources end up being unreliable. It is almost impossible to have an unbiased source due to the fact that everyone has their own point of view. As to work with this topic, our teacher gave us te following pictures:

 

In the first set of images we can se how Hitler and the media are criticising Jews because of the misfortune of Germany after the First World War. They are shown as demons, killers and trying to poison other Germans. Hitler also blame them for the hyperinflation of the 1920's. This is a clear example of pre-judgement, which helped Hitler to turn Germans against the Jews. These judgements are senseless as the Jews fought alongside other Germans during the defeat of the First World War. This images also overplay what the Jews did, as people do not make sausages out of rats or drain the blood of other people. Those sources are not showing how Jews really are. This sources are not credible as they are all based on hate feelings towards the Jews.

The second activity is about a British propaganda during the Gulf War of 1990-1991, between the Allies and Iraq. In this source the British describe themselves in a good and heroic way, meanwhile Saddam Hussein is shown as an evil person. This source is biased as the British show themselves as if they were going yo save the world.

Wrongful Conviction

Michael Kenneth McAlister was wrongful convicted in 1986 after being recognised by the victim as the man who attempted to rape her. McAlister was then released in 2015 as the man who attacked the woman, Norman Derr, confessed his crime.

Grito de Ayuda e Igualdad

En los últimos meses la tasa de femicidios en Argentina se incrementó rápidamente. Se habla de femicidios ya que no sólo se habla de homicidios en la sociedad, sino que además de matar, se nos viola y maltrata a las mujeres solo por ser, ni más ni menos, que MUJERES. Agrupaciones feministas y de derechos humanos y el grito colectivo #NiUnaMenos se unieron y llamaron a un paro de mujeres el día miércoles 19 de octubre. En este día mujeres de toda la Argentina que quisieron participar en la causa vistieron de negro y durante una hora del mismo día se invitó a cesar toda actividad por parte de las mujeres.

El Miércoles Negro en el Colegio nos juntamos en cursos de a dos y junto con los profesores analizamos diversos casos de cómo se le educa a la mujer y al hombre y al finalizar nos propusieron realizar carteles relacionados con el tema para pegarlos por los pasillos del colegio. Acá hay algunos de los que más me llamaron la atención y hacen una reflección de lo que ocurre con las mujeres en la actualidad.

Actualmente cada vez que una mujer es asesinada, violada o golpeada se lo justifica por la ropa que llevaba puesta en el momento, por dónde iba caminando, si iba sola o provocativa. Tristemente la realidad es que se nos mata, viola y maltrata por ser mujeres, el hecho de cómo nos vestimos, por dónde vamos y cómo vamos no justifica lo que nos hacen. Los pretextos que utilizan para justificar los femicidios se les queda en la mente a muchos, que después dicen que si la mataron fue porque estaba vestida para provocar, o que ella estaba caminando por donde no debía, y no, la realidad es que nos matan por matar. La sociedad tiene una idea errónea de cómo ven a las mujeres y cómo se las tiene que tratar.

The Importance of Being Earnest

"The Importance of being Earnest" is a play written by Oscar Wilde. This is a trivial comedy about the importance of being "Earnest" in high social class in the Victorian era. Through this essay how Oscar Wilde makes this piece of the play such a delightfully comic moment will be analysed by using the reactions of the characters, role reversal and the language used.

In this extract we can see how Wilde uses role reversal as to make it a comic  moment. We mainly find role reversal in the play in Lady Braknell. She is everything a man is supposed to be in charge of at that era. In this part there is a role reversal between Lady Bracknell and Jack. In the first and second act we can see Jack respecting Lady B. however, in the third one Jack feels he has more power than her and interrupts her and discusses with her. When Jack replies "I decline to give my consent" to Lady B. is very well shown he is the one with power.

We can also see how Oscar Wilde makes this piece of the play comic by the reactions of the characters and the language used. One way he makes it comis is how they change the conversation subject; they were talking about Algernon's disgraceful deception and all of a sudden they were talking with and about Cecily. "Untruthfull! My nephew Algernon? Impossible! He is an oxonian" said Lady B. and after discussing about Algernon she called Cecilia "[to Cecily] Come here, sweet child [Cecily goes over] How old are you, dear?". Wilde also shows comedy when Algernon says he could wait Cecily until  she is 35, however it was absurd because no one could wait 17 years to get married.

Throughout this essay the different ways Oscar Wilde uses as to make this piece of the play such a delightfully comic moment had been explaines. How he uses hipocrecy in the play let the reader to find this play a comic piece of writing.
