WHO SHOULD DO DOMESTIC CHORES? (HOME AND FAMILY)

Cada 8 demarzo celebramos el "Diade laMujer". Decimos que la sociedad ha cambiado

y estamos promoviendo igualdad de los sexos. Sin embargo, la verdad es que seguimos viendo
a mujeres, que ademas de trabajar fuera de casa tambien lo hacen en casa.

(,Ha cambiado la situaci6n de la mujer? Si, ahora las mujeres han entrado en el mundo
laboral y en los puestos publicos. Sin embargo, esto no indica que los hombres hagan oficios
domesticos, ni que cuiden a los nifios. Hoy en dia los padres son mas afectivos que antes. Pero
algunos todavia no se involucran en las responsabilidades hogarefias.

Es necesario ensefiar a los nifios a hacer oficios domesticos desde pequefios. Esto creara
una nueva generaci6n de hombres que no sean machistas y compartan las responsabilidades
domesticas.

FAMILY AND DOMESTIC CHORES (DAILY ROUTINE)

Hoy la vida de la familia es muy agitada y los j6venes de ben responsabilizarse de algunas
tareas domesticas. Pueden organizar su habitaci6n y tender o hacer la cama diariamente. Esta
es una costumbre que viene desde la infancia. Si cuando eran nifios recogian sus juguetes, ahora
que son mayores, pueden tener su dormitorio ordenado y recoger la ropa sucia. Los padres de
familia estan muy ocupados, y no hay suficiente tiempo en el dia para ejercer su oficio y hacer
todas las tareas domesticas.

Los j6venes pueden ayudar, especialmente los fines de semana. Pueden poner la mesa,
ofrecerse para cocinar el almuerzo o la cena o ayudar en su preparaci6n. Estos momentos
hogarefios son ideales para charlar en familia sin presiones de tiempo, sin television o celulares.
La familia necesita pasar tiempo juntos involucrandose en actividades del hogar.

Hoy, tU dependes econ6micamente de tus padres. Sin embargo hay j6venes que ya son
independientes y gastan su dinero en tecnologia, ropa, comida y entretenimiento. Algunos hacen
sus compras en tiendas virtuales porque pasan la mayor parte de su tiempo en la red. Compran

como salidas al cine con los amigos, a comer o a los bares. Estas ultimas preocupan a los padres
por el posible consumo de alcohol.

no gastar mas de lo debido para evitar deudas. L,No te parece mejor ahorrar un poco ahora? Esto

REMEMBERING PLACES (TRAVEL)

Naci y creci en la Ciudad de Panama. Desde siempre tuve alli el oceano Pacifico: ex-
tenso, inmensamente espumoso y azul. Cuando tenia ocho aiios mis amigos y yo podiamos
bajar ala playa del malec6n. Alli recogiamos conchas y jugabamos a que escuchabamos voces
de sirenas y piratas.

Ya mayor, fui a Cartagena de Indias y alli tambien tuve como vecino al mar: pero esta
vez fue el mar Caribe. Caminar por las calles hist6ricas de Cartagena signific6 conectarme con
los lugares descritos por el escritor colombiano, Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Luego, visite Cuba donde goce infinitamente en el malec6n habanero. Alli, el viento
fuerte levanta lo que encuentra a su camino incluyendo las faldas de las niiias que se pasean por
el malec6n. j Viajar es la mejor manera de aprender!
