 INTERNATIONAL WOMEN´S DAY 2023

Are you biased? Are these subconscious biases in everyone´s mind?

This week I conducted this social experiment among my students and teachers in CPIP Castroverde to solve this riddle. The results were shocking. Out of 45 respondents only 3 said the answer was a woman. 

Sexist stereotypes and biases are in our subconscious in a little perceptible way.

But without a doubt, the most shocking response was the total silence in the class when they heard the correct answer because they were dismayed and shocked to realize that sexist biases are much more deeply rooted than we think.

We need to continue training in gender equity and equality in order not to reproduce sexist patterns in the next generations.

 GROUNHOG DAY, 2nd FEBRUARY 2023

This morning Punxsutawney Phil, the most famous groundhog in Pennsylvania woke up to see his shadow and then returned to his burrow, which means, according to legend, there will be six more weeks of winter.

According to the legend, if the groudhog doesn´t see its shadow because it´s a cloudy day, it will leave the burrow, which means that winter will end soon. On the contrary, if the groundhog sees the shadow because it´s a sunny day and goes back into the burrow, it means that the winter will last six more weeks.

Unfotunately, the grounhog is often wrong. Since he made his first prediction in 1887, Punxsutaweney Phil has been right 39%  according to Stormfax Weather Almanac.
