My first entry on English IV :)

Hi, this is my first entry of the semester, sorry if I’m a little out of training, but let’s start.

Well, I have never love journalism and I’ve been saying it since the first year, I’m not in love with my career and I don’t feel any anxious for working as a journalist, but there are some topics that I do like. Some teachers taught me a lot of things and made me grow in different ways.

One of those topics is non-sexist communication. An optional subject on ICEI where you can learn how to communicate using an inclusive and feminist language, how to show stories and news in a different way, being careful on how we talk about gender, bodies, violence and diversity.

The teacher, Cristian Cabello, taught us how to problematize and find sexist symbols on television, movies, newspaper and even in our lives, with our families and friends. We read a lot of books, analyzed different news and television shows. I think that subject is important in our career, because as journalists we need to be able to communicate in an inclusive way, avoiding to reproduce the sexist patterns installed in our society.

This is why I think this subject needs to be obligatory, because every journalist and movie maker needs to be aware of the sexism in this society and needs to be able too, to fight against it.
