Blog Vlll: A subject I enjoyed studying this semester

Hi everyone, today I am going to write about CRITICAL PERSPECTIVES ON DISABILITY AND FUNCTIONAL DIVERSITY, subject that has made me a better impression from what I thought before starting this semester.

In a normal day of classes we often talk about a new concept given by our teachers that is related to being critical about our vocabulary, practices and situations that involves the disabled. The way we address this kind of experiences is an important and frecuently discussed topic that we might not give the importance that I think it has, considering its impact on society. 

Sometimes we have invited persons who talk us about their own experiences and and how they cope in a world that handicaps them. 

This subject really surprised me in a positive way, because it has made me reflect on many things and I have learned a lot in class. Among the reflections that I most value is to correctly understand the terminology, the symbolic charge that words have and how this affect the way we relate to and understand people with functional diversity.

I´m not going to lie saying it was easy, because it wasn´t. It is a career with a lot of academic load and living far away (about 5 hours’ round trip) is not very compatible. The first few years I literal...

Blog Vl: How can my career make the world a better place?

Hi everyone, today I am going to talk about how theatrical design can affect the world. Theater design is a career where it took me a lot of time and effort to find him another sense in addition to the aesthetic, the beauty or the spectacular. I'm sure that everything is political and this career is no exception, through of visual convention it is possible to propose political and social positions, criticize them and at the same time suggest possible solutions. I like to think that we can give a social role to a career that goes unnoticed but is present in every product/ audiovisual material that we consume. However, I feel that is not the only way to contribute to a better world, there are other options like pedagogy or artistic workshops, wich can granting expression skills to children, adolescents and adults,it can be useful to contribute to the social reintegration of grown woman's and grown men's, but also of those children whose rights have been infringed and who are...
