The most serius problem in our society

Sexism is the principal and the most violent social issue in this society and particularly in this country. 

The negative differences derived of the separation on duopoly genders conform in my opinion, the most important form of inequality because, gender roles have repercussions in all aspects of our life for being the most archaic form of separation between human beings, and the historical overlaying of the masculine gender over the feminine one seem to increase over the years.  For example, in Chile, the inequality between man and women are concrete: the access to education it’s clearly less than what their male counterparts can opt for.

Sexism also affects the way the work is distributed, we know that today the labor market is dominated largely by male forces, according to OCDE studies, women has 23% less possibilities to find a job compared to men and the quality of the jobs that are available for a large number of women is quite precarious: the most of them are informal jobs, half-days jobs or jobs with few social protection guarantees.

Continue with the focus on the differences in the world of the job, the gender pay gap is terrifying, the average monthly income for the men in Chile is $543.996 and for women $382.253, for exactly the same job, the same is repeated independent of the level of the studies analyzed. It’s almost naturalized that women should earn less because they’re still considered as the second income of the family nuclei or because the mere fact of being women.

In conclusion, the inequalities created by the sexism seem not to have a close end. This social issue is the one that the most deeper transform our society because it seem to be completely normalizaed by all of us.  

Santiago: Main problematic issues

Santiago is the capital of Chile and like a globalized capital city, has a lot of problems that affect his entire population. Firstly, It’s the most concentrated city in Chile and all the spaces are hyper populated, it’s common to see in these days how big structures are rising up everywhere lodging a thousands of people in each one, in very narrow spaces.

Secondly, Santiago has a stress of “green areas” for the same reason that I mentioned in first place, the huge zones of built areas have reduced the natural landscape to a little portion of the city. In some communes (generally the poorest ones) the percent of parks or squares are greatly reduced in comparison with the percent related to the built areas, for this reason everyday we see a scenery all in grey colors.

Finally, the city of Santiago it’s a so globalized one that all the events on it happen extremely quickly and the people tends to be always stressed. And as we know, the stress bring with it the anger and the disgust. For example, when you do something as simple as shopping or when you’re using the public transport you could see how hard-set  people are and how they fight with any other for no reason at all. 

As a conclusion, Santiago has a lot of social issues mainly derived from his condition of a capital that has been insert in a context of globalization characterized by accelerated flows and a need for inmediacy, and it's so true that in this days its kind difficult to us live here, but we have to acclimate anyway and try to improve our territory as much as possible must be our purpose too.
