Gender Role

This topic comes from the sociology of gender, this is about how a person can self-identify her or his role in life, or in their relationships.
This is a very interesting topic because it's about how nowadays there's a feeling and an attitude to the woman that seems that comes from many centuries ago. I mean, there has been an advance, now women can work outside the house, but there are still gender roles that are established in the mind of the society.

Well, I started to search for this topic since I took an assignment about Human Rigths and the holocaust. One of the units of it was the role that women has in the relationship with men. It has been always a relation full of violence, symbolical and physical, 'cause men always had thought them-self as superior.

A song that I love

Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of lyrics

I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard

I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company

I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing

I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep

I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass

It's just a moment
This time will pass

Well This is a really great son, it touch me, because when sometimes somethig goes wrong, lying to dead is not the only answer...
Think abou it and listen to this really good song

A little bit about me...

Well, I'm not very good doing this, but I'm gonna try to do it right.
My name is Pamela, I'm 19 years old. I'm the firs of two brothers, he's name is Andrew.. I really mist him. I'm from Curico, I've been in Santiago since last year.
Moving here have been an extremely weird experience... First, leave my home, my fiends, especially my family, it's been hard. Second, enter to college, try to keep up whit everyone, start over with people that I didn't know... like I said a weird experience.
But not everything has been bad, I foud a really great goup of friends, our classemates call us "banda curicana", but two of us are not from Curico, Ruben is from Santiago and Seba is from Temuco, only Javi and I are from Curico.
Actually I was born here so is like return into my old life, I'm living on the same flat that I used to when we leave Santiago (when I was 5 years old)

Well, that's my life, actually a little bit of it...
