IMMIGRATION

We watched  an interesting documental about immigration.


EL TREN DE LA MEMORIA   

(http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/videos/el-documental/documental-tren-memoria/1797667/)

In this documental appears a spanish people who leaves to work to another countries.

In the sixties, 2.000.000 Spaniards leave the country searching a better future, as today do the young people. They went to Switzerland, Germany, France, and the Netherlands.

Half are illegal immigrants traveling without contracts. Eighty percent are illiterate.

The story centers in Josefina who was in Nuremberg, Germany.

BAZTARRIKA AND KOTTAK

We made in pairs or in groups some question about Baztarrika's text.

Translate and give an answer tot he following quiestion from the Bazterrika Reading about the evolution of the Basque revival:


10. What part of the poblation is more bilingual? Explain if there has been always like that.

Nowadays the biggest bilingual part of the poblation are young people, like the graphic shows children between 10 and 14 years old are the biggest amount. It has not been always like that, in the past the older were the more likely to be biliingua and the younger were the more likely to be monolinguan in Spanish or French.


15. How has the educative system influence in the euskaldunizacion process? What are the ikastolas and what paper they have there?

It is the education system that has contributed most to spreading the Basque language. In 1980 were created the ikastolas which are monolingual private schools where it was only teached Spanish or French.

We could see that in the three educative models the Basque is integrated but the best results are shown in the B and D models.

23. Define the characteristics of the applied linguistic politics.

BILINGUALISM: It keeps the Basque language alive and it aims to normalise the us of the Basque using it normally in both formal and informal settings.

POSTIVE ACTION: It is to support the weakest, to support the Basque. And that is the reason why our linguistic policy is not neutral.

PUBLIC RESPECT: It must warrant the complete respect of the public. That is why it makes refrence to the linguistic rights of citizens, and does not impose obligationon them.

FLEXIBILITY: The cornerstones of our linguistic policy are progressiveness, flexibility and taking account of socio-linguistic diversity. But different socio-linguistic circumstances require different solutions. Because it is not only inappropriate, but pointless, to force the will of the people, we practise flexibility, but without falling into complacency in the name of flexibility and without turning our backs on active policies to promote Basque. Finally, linguistic Darwinism is the enemy of diversity in language.

KOTTAK 

Build a question and its answer out from paragraph number:

7th paragraph:

QUESTION:

In the past, Basques were known to traditionally work as farmers, herders and fishers. However, where do majority of Basques work today?

ANSWER:


Majority of Basques work in business and industry. 

After this, we start making the groups for the second presentation.

INTERSECTIONALITY: ABLEISM AND PRIVILEDGE

We were working around intersectionality making some activities, as defining some concepts.

Intersectionality: It is a concept often used in critical theories to describe the ways in which oppressive institutions (racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, xenophobia, classism, etc.) are interconnected and cannot be examined separately from one another.

Opression: is the exercise of authority or power in a burdensome, cruel, or unjust manner.It can also be defined as an act or instance of oppressing, the state of being oppressed, and the feeling of being heavily burdened, mentally or physically, by troubles, adverse conditions or people, and anxiety.

Ableism : This is a discrimination against people with disabilities, including the expression of hate for people with disabilities, denial of accessibility, rejection of disabled applicants for housing and jobs, institutionalized discrimination in the form of benefits systems designed to keep people with disabilities in poverty, etc.

Discrimination: Is when something or someone is distinguished from someone or something.

Privilege : It could be a right or benefit that is given to some people and not to others, a special opportunity to do something that makes you proud and/or the advantage that wealthy and powerful people have over other people in a society.

Analysis of sources:

CIS questionnaire: Is a questionnaire where are some questions related to discrimination experiences that you could suffer in some public places, services or the profesional field. But we can find political or economical questions as well.


How priviledged are you?: Basing in race, sex, orientation, gender, religion, status, disability etc. how you feel yourself,discriminates, in oppresion or priviledge.


Priviledge form: It's very similar to the previous one, here are questions related with your race, sex, orientation, gender, religion, status, education etc. And according to these areas, we can see how much discrimination, oppresion or priviledged a person receive.

Reflect on how privileged are you as a person and as a professional in the next future:

Based on the scores I received from both privledge quizzes and in how I feel myself, I deemed privledged. I consider myself to be privleged because of the life I live and the abundant opportunities I have, and had received. Ihave cover all the basic things which nowadays aren’t as normal as they have to be. And I feel more priviledge specially because here in Navarra we have better live than for example in Andalucia.

Also, I’m priviledge because I’m studying in the university and working and for a young peoplr it’s difficult to do it.

I strongly believe that in the future I will continue to be successful and very privledged in the profesional field.

How is my Working Group Presentation related to intersectionality?

In the case of our working group, I think that is very close to intersectionality because all of us did the work according to a foreign person. The people that we had interviewed were integrated so they don’t suffer discrimination. But in some cases when they search a job they have some difficulties because they are not Spanish.

Conclusion:

I realized that I’m very privilege first of all because of the right to study and more in the university whereevery day is more difficult to access. Also because I have a home and a place to sleep hot, things that we see very usual and normal but nowadays is a very big priviledge.

From my point of view, to be a female is an advantage even we have setbacks (as violations for example) and more things comparing with women from another countries that they haven't have to stay at home doing home care things or that they have to get marriedge very young with men that they don’t love and the sufferabuses. I feel very lucky because my family and my country give me the right to choose.

The questions asks if the individual has been discrimiated in any of these ways in numerous situations during daily life.

Analysis of sources:

How privledged are you?: The form scores you based on various identies. Race, sex, orientation, gender, religión, staus, disability and attractiveness are specific áreas that directly relate to if a person will experience discrimination, oppression, or privledge.

Reflection on personal level of priviledge: Based on the scores I received from both priviledge quizzes,(45 it was my score) I am deemed privileged. However even without taking the quizzes, I still consider myself priviledged because I think that I have a lot of good things in my life and the abundant opportunities.

SEX, GENDER AND SEXUAL ORIENTATION

We worked around this 3 topics and the differences between them.

We watched an documentary ISNA: Is it a boy or a girl?(60')

First of all I want to say that the video makes three tipes of sexuality according to their chromosomes:
This are: Men's chromosomes: XY; Women's chromosomes: XX; Intersexual chromosomes: are both.
Also we can find men with XX and women with XY chromosomes. This could happen if the man doesn’t develop a lot of testosterone.

All of the human start with the same gender, what people don't understand is that the penis and the clitoris are the same thing. The difference is that with the Y chromosome is created the penis and then that chromosome goes creating men's capacities like testosterone for example.
It is possible that a person has a clitoris and something like a penis or that a person has ovaries and testicles. Around 75.000 children born like that in a year according to the European Union.

                 


And we worked with the chapter number 9 as well, Sex and Gender.
Here is the link and the picture of my mindmap:
