Language and Gender

The language take an important place in the world because is the way we can comunicate with others. As we know they are so many ways to comunicate, we have the internet, by writting, by signs, etc; but all that ways to comunicate is language like the body language and the sign language. Without language people wouldn´t understand others.

They´re so many topics we can discuss or even just talk with others, but they´re few topics that man and woman can discuss. For example, a guy can´t talk with a girl of her sexual life or imagine a girl discussing with a boy about her menstrual period! It is not normal, but it is normal to hear a guy talking with an other guy about his sexual life (when they´re friends) or a girl discussing about what is the best kotex they can use. Girls talk about girly things, and boys talk about kid stuff. I think that the reaction that can lead a girl hearing a boy talking about porno, probably, it would be the same reaction that a girl talking with a boy about how handsom is Brad Pitt (if he´s not gay)...HORRIBLE!

Besides that and thanks god women and men, i don´t how, but we can comunicate. It´s the language and the intelligence to use it, call it art if you want but that give us the way to express our feelings, to demostrate what we need, to help others with the words, with the speak, to show love and show angry, even to show authority.

Language in some words discriminate women like in the word fireman, policeman, chairman, workman, etc. that´s not ok, the language, the offices doesn´t have sexuality , not that i know! but thank to the cabinet in the 1995 those words are, in certainly way, eliminated and replaced by: Firefighter, police officer, chair person, worker, etc. I think thats fair. Remember that women can make some things that men do!

Counter-culture

Several years ago, were young people dressing differently than they behaved in a way unconventional in almost every aspect of their life. They are groups that disagree with the traditional way of behaving, thinking and being: are the urban tribes.

The counterculture is a urban tribe that express their selfs with movements. Their feelings get different meanings and ways to see it. They want to confront and transcend the mainstream and be part of a group.

The counter-culture comes because within each culture there are differences that are given by age, socioeconomic status, social class, ethnicity, etc. That is why the coutercultures take origin in the cultures.

The counterculture movements emerge as an opposition to consumer society and in the totalitarian control of the state in where individual liberty is the affected.

The term originated in the counterculture of the postwar era in the United States emerged as a rebellion against the so-called "stable men": conservative patriots were over 35 years, whose mentality is often contrasted violently with the countercultural movements such as hippie, punk, cholos and others.

Well as many intellectuals of the generation of the "onda", who are those who lived his youth in the 60's, these people realized that the urban tribes were more than Cultures, and this discovery or thought were counterculture.
