Hello, Bonjour, Ni hao, Annyeong, Konnichiwa!

Recognizing someone, as male or female, is fundamental to our ability to interact with them. The difference between sex and gender has already been tackled in this blog, as well as the third-world genders. A problem to these genders is that becoming an androgyny is hard, it is hard to socialize with others without them judging you first. We must have in our knowledge that distinction of two sex and two gender is a socially created only, not a natural. Gender codes become the medium on communicating and on distinguishing genders. Today, advertisements and media have impacts on gender, as it becomes the way of communication to everyone. It shows how a woman portray softness and delicateness, and on how men portray power and control all through advertisements on magazines and etc, it also shows how men and women in there seem 'normal'. With the advertisements, it sparked the social idea that femininity, naturally a female sexuality, represents the codes of submissive, ...

I will dedicate this particular blog to my opinion/review on the movie entitled Bar boys . This is a Filipino movie and I'm very proud of it, and I am grateful that I had the chance to watch it. This movie gives the viewers the life of being a law student, what spices it up are the life lessons you receive after watching the movie.  Bar boys  is a movie that shows everyone how everything is done inside a law school, how pressuring it is to study law, and how your tropa  will help you get through everything. Of course the first scenes of this movie shows the best buddies trying to check if they passed entrance examinations to their law school, as time goes by 3/4 friends passed and then those three friends got into a lot of laughter, trouble, pain, and took especially a lot of risks just to pass their law school. They've been broken from their significant others, family, and most of the time they fought with each other. But at the end of the day, all they got are them...

Media have a very important role in the world today. Media is everywhere, and most people rely on media alone. In the early centuries, audience like us are called reader . Wherein we, as the audience, are known for being passive in a way that there are no opinion from an audience that matters. Nonetheless, in our century today, audience are now called users  which means that audience are no more passive, and is now active.

There are two ways of communication, the one-to-many communication : where information is gathered only from one source and transmitted to everybody; and the ...

There exists an account of third genders in the history of particular countries. Third gender/sex is defined as individuals that are categorized, either by themselves or by their society or culture and of their beliefs, as neither man nor woman.  This ideal is socially accepted by the society and by the whole world. However, no one can escape the negative opinions and comments about the third gender/sex. Some third gender/sex were traditions passed from one generation to another, some are being part of the third gender or sex because of their own objectives, or some would be part of the their socially accepted third gender/sex because that is the only way they could help their family and themselves.  In India, they have Hijra. Hijras are individuals born male, but they wear female clothes. There are only specific cities/provinces in India that they are able to express themselves freely because for example in the main city, Hijras are being considered low profiles. They ar...

Through ages, this has been a popular discussion for many debates especially when feminism is the main topic. Now the question is, does the society still bars women from becoming successful leaders? Now that we are in the 21st century, much have changed. 20 years ago is different from this year, all the beliefs, traditions, and the norms have changed as well. If women aren't recognized before, which includes their rights and roles, today there exists female leaders that are truly successful. Today women now have their complete rights. Today women are able to fight back to those that makes them weak, today women are able to stand up independently. With all these, women of today are able to rise up and lead. Lead her own family, lead her own town, lead her own organization, or even her own country, because women today simply can .  There are countries today that are led by women, successfully like how men leads.

Women suffrage were well known in the early 19th century and it is defined as women's right to vote, it is one way for women to gain a voice in that time where they were still being considered as child-bearers and homemakers only.

Not until 1937 where women in the Philippines have fully exercised their right to vote. In comparison to the 1st wave in the feminist movement that happened in 19th to early 20th century, suffragettes in UK and in US were still fighting for their rights to vote. Women in the early 18th century in the Philippines were still not given the opportunity...
