Muchos de los grandes luchadores de los derechos humanos se han enfocado en el beneficio que traería consigo la descentralización del poder de los grandes gobernantes, de las expresiones reprimidas o de discriminación en general, que si bien son infinitas alegrías y bendiciones que nos podría traer, también hay resultados no esperados que podrían surgir de estos cambios. En el caso de las libertades de la mujer, la gran mayoría de las personas se enfocaban en que la mujer tenía capacidades limitadas por la sociedad, ahora estas libertades son tan grandes, que el tiempo se ve escaso. Menos tiempo en familia, más familias separadas y niños que no crecen con sus padres, es una de las consecuencias no esperadas por las grandes luchadoras de la igualdad y un tema que nos afecta como sociedad y que tiende hacernos cada vez más individualistas.

Hoy en día, la gran mayoría de los seres humanos, como parte de este mundo globalizado. Tienen la necesidad de tener una etapa a lo largo de la vida. Que si bien, no es una obligación, si es un asunto vitalmente inevitable, para la subsistencia en este planeta. Y que será, un fiel acompañante por la mayor parte de su vida, hablamos del trabajo laboral. Esta fue por siglos, una labor asignada a los hombres. Sin embargo, en la actualidad, y en nuestro entorno más cercano, esta realidad varió con el paso de los años. Donde la mujer pasó a tener un papel social, y relevante dentro de la humanidad. Es ahí, donde me refiero a la independencia de la población femenina, que fue negada por muchos siglos, y la anhelada igualdad sensata entre hombres y mujeres. Pero todo esto, en definitiva, ha traído consigo repercusiones culturales y sociales importantes, que no tienen motivos valóricos para haber ocurrido. Como por ejemplo, el aumento significativo en la tasa de divorcio y madres solteras, y una disminución en el número de parejas casadas. Entonces, desde un punto de vista valórico, ¿Es esto una buena manera de mejorar el mundo? Si bien, la discriminación del género femenino es un tema difícil de abordar. Debido a los variados factores sociales y culturales del mundo en general, y las tradiciones preestablecidas de una sociedad determinada. Me enfocaré en cómo, esta se fue desarrollando a medida del tiempo y que factores intervinieron, sus beneficios y repercusiones.
La inserción de la mujer en el trabajo y en la sociedad en general se fue dando progresivamente. La mujer dependía del “rol” que la misma sociedad le había inculcado, y esta se limitaba al trabajo no remunerado del hogar y al cuidado de los hijos. «En un concilio del siglo VI se sometió a discusión si la mujer tenía alma. Y sólo por dos votos a favor quedó resuelta esta duda» (Belén De Zárraga, 1913). Los primeros pasos fueron dados luego que se produjera la gran guerra de 1914. Los hombres siendo la mayoría de la fuerza laboral, se fueron a la guerra. Muchos de ellos murieron en el acto y otros fueron prisioneros o desaparecidos. Esto produjo la entrada masiva e involuntaria de la mujer al trabajo, donde tuvieron que hacerse cargo de muchas labores e incluso de la administración pública. Esta situación, inédita en la historia, transformó en definitivo el rol de la mujer, que dejó entrever sus capacidades en la ausencia de los hombres. Debido a esto se cuestionó la situación de la mujer ante la ley y las actividades fuera del hogar. En Chile, se crearon Centro Femeninos, que buscaban dar respuesta a esta situación de dominación, y que no sólo se veía reflejado en el ámbito laboral, sino que también en el político, social y cultural. Fue una intensa lucha por lograr la igualdad o la realización del principio de igualdad. El que se basa en que “más allá de las diferencias que puedan existir entre dos personas, ninguno de ellos debiera gozar de una mayor -o sufrir de una menor- consideración hacia el otro” (Singer, 1993) y esto era el objetivo deseado por ellas. Ya que en aquel entonces, se pensaba que al abrirle oportunidades a la mujer, le crearían conciencia, lo que perjudicaría su tendencia conservadora. A inicios de 1949, es cuando se concede la plenitud de derechos políticos a la mujer, o derecho a voto, y se da un paso gigante en lo que parecía una interminable lucha.
Entonces con esta conciencia generada. Es que el género femenino, cada vez va ganando más poder, y va desarrollando valores que estaban reprimidos por “el rol” que le tocaba vivir. La dignidad entendida como “el derecho innato de respeto y trato ético” toma mayor fuerza en la vida de todas las chilenas. Pero no solo la dignidad, sino también el liderar la libertad, y el estar a la par de las condiciones de vida de los hombres. Esto es, lo que les traería verdadera paz y placer, que según Mill es un estado deseado y un placer elevado, por lo que es un bien para aquellos que lo desean. Pero ¿Será que todas las mujeres deseaban este tipo de placer? Si lo analizamos desde otro punto de vista, vemos que esto trae consigo ganancias, pero a la vez pérdidas. Por ejemplo, el trabajo ligado a la mujer antiguamente se sujetaba al trabajo doméstico y al cuidado de los hijos. Algo que era de vital importancia para el desarrollo del núcleo familiar, y el que es vital para formar lazos en los niños desde pequeños e inculcar valores y virtudes desde la temprana edad. Sin embargo, hoy en día en promedio, la mujer de clase media que tiene hijos y que posee un trabajo remunerado debe dedicar a lo menos 10 horas diarias al trabajo, a lo menos 2 horas en total en el transporte, lo que demanda 12 horas diarias que pasa fuera de su núcleo familiar y de la felicidad que conlleva tener a su lado a su familia. Es decir, tiene menos de la cuarta parte, que antes la mujer poseía para el contacto familiar con hijos y esposo. Entonces, podemos decir que la mujer adquirió poder laboral, político y se desligo del patriarcado y también es más libre (hasta cierto punto existe libertad) pero ¿La felicidad que conlleva la vida familiar y su estabilidad? No sólo hubo un cambio de tradición, si no que la mujer al desligarse del régimen machista que las limitaba, ahora pasan a un régimen económico que les limita el tiempo en familia y les reduce la calidad de vida. No podemos decir que esto les trajo como respuesta felicidad y paz interior. Son muchos otras repercusiones también están involucrados con la independencia de mujer. Un estudio del 2012 arrojó datos alarmantes sobre el matrimonio de hoy en día, se calculó que por cada hora que pasa, se casan 28 parejas, mientras 48 inician su separación legal. Esto si bien, puede ser un alivio para muchas parejas con problemas, los que se ven gravemente afectados con el divorcio, son los hijos, y peor aún, es asemejar la tendencia a que esto aumente con los años. Pueden ser muchos los factores involucrados en una separación, pero es un claro ejemplo de las consecuencias que ha traído el cambio de pensamiento del género femenino en lo que se refiere a sumisión a su marido. Hoy en día los problemas que antes eran motivo de una pelea y posible solución, ahora son motivos de separación y divorcio. Y esto se incrementa con las infinitas posibilidades que hay para comenzar y financiar un trámite como este. El mismo estudio arrojó un dato aún más interesante: “a nivel país, las esposas serían más infieles que los maridos: ellas gatillan el 56% de las separaciones por engaños extramaritales, frente a un 44% de los varones”. La infidelidad es un sinónimo de libertad de expresión que tanto aquejaba a las mujeres, pero no es la mejor manera de demostrarlo.

Me Before You Suicide

...The book “Me Before You”, by JoJo Moyes, addresses an issue which seems to be at the forefront of today’s society, the issue of suicide. Before I read this book, I believed that a person should have the right to end their life if they weren't happy with they way they were living it. This book did manage to influence my view and partially change my position because it showed me how much a suicide can affect other people’s lives. While I still believe that people should have the right to do with their life what they want to do with it, now I believe that suicide must have a valid reason behind it. Will Traynor became a quadriplegic after a skiing accident and ever since then he was bound to a wheelchair and a guarded life. Will conveyed in the story that he wasn’t happy with the life he was living, weather it be through the fact of his attempted suicide or his general distaste for life. In this novel I was able to understand and feel where Will is coming from. I wouldn’t doubt that I would feel the same way if I was in the same situation as him. Coming from Will’s point of view, I believe that suicide is just. Before the accident, he was a very active person, he had friends and he loved to be outside. Will knew that he couldn’t live the life he wanted to after he became bounded to a wheelchair. “You only get one life, It’s actually your duty to live it as fully as possible.” (239). After Louisa began to spend time with him, they began to develop feelings for each other. The feeling...

...Classical Conditioning Paper Nicole Young PSY/390 January 23,2012 Dr. Steve Lazarre Classical Conditioning Paper In the mind of B. F. Skinner learning is considered to be a relatively permanent change in an individual or animals behavior due to practice and experience. Classical condition is a type of learning generated by a response from one stimulus to another unlearned stimulus. This form of classical conditioning was founded by Ivan Pavlov and he is most famous for his experiment with dogs and the bell. In Pavlov’s experiment with classical conditioning it involved the salivary glands of canines. The scenario for this paper will teach a dog to not chew on furniture, using classical conditioning and, vinegar in a spray bottle. Classical conditioning was discovered accidentally by Ivan Pavlov, who was a Russian physiologist. Pavlov discovered this form of learning while researching digestion. Pavlov’s classical conditioning is a form of learning through acquired experiences. Classical conditioning is where an earlier or previously neutral stimulus causes a reaction or reflex to a physical response (Olson & Hergenhahn, 2009). As he observed dogs beginning to drool when food was shown Pavlov could then begin to predict the other forms of stimulation. As Pavlov further researched the response from the canine, Pavlov found that when he presented a bell to the animal he could then reproduce the animals’ reaction to salivating with just the sound of the bell and...

...Anna and Jojo Name: Institution: Lecturer: Course: Date: Anna and Jojo Question one Indeed, Anna’s current predicament in her early adulthood stage can be linked to cognitive problems developed during her course of development in the childhood stage and adolescent stage. From the Anna and Jojo scenario, we are able to learn that Anna was subjected to resentment in her early years be her mother. In this case, we learn that her mother instilled in her a negative self-esteem of hopelessness and low confidence. Anna’s mother made her believe that she was an overweight girl who could not offer any assistance to any problems. Consequently, Anna became obsessed with her physical appearance and desired to please her mother by working towards achieving a slim body physique. My knowledge on the cognitive information processing theory suggests that there are three stages of memory involved in a person’s development: sensory, short term and long term. I would associate Anna’s case with the long-term memory stage where information and experiences with her mother became a long lasting memory that would determine her character and the way she related towards her peers and later on, her daughter (Grossen, 2004). In addition, the scenario lets us know that Anna was subjected to further resentment in her adolescent stage as she tried to date a football player. In the case above, Anna was made to believe that she was an ugly person who would not attract any suitors...

...In physics, acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of a body changes with time.[1] In general, velocity and acceleration are vectorquantities, with magnitude and direction,[2][3] though in many cases only magnitude is considered (sometimes with negative values for deceleration). Acceleration is accompanied by a force, as described by Newton's Second Law; the force, as a vector, is the product of the mass of the object being accelerated and the acceleration (vector). The SI unit of acceleration is the meter per second squared (m/s2). For example, an object such as a car that starts from standstill, then travels in a straight line at increasing speed, is accelerating in the direction of travel. If the car changes direction at constant speedometer reading, there is strictly speaking an acceleration although it is often not so described; passengers in the car will experience a force pushing them back into their seats in linear acceleration, and a sideways force on changing direction. If the speed of the car decreases, it is usual and meaningful to speak of deceleration; mathematically it is acceleration in the opposite direction to that of motion. Acceleration is a vector quantity, so it has a magnitude and a direction. The sign of a vector quantity indicates the direction that the vector is pointing. Acceration = dV/dT or change in velocity/change in time Positive acceleration means that the change in velocity over change in time is positive, so the object is accelerating...
