Trip To Wroclaw, Poland

Trip to Wroclaw, Poland

Hi there! I'm back, I know big break. Art project, history, studying and everything, but I'm glad that I'm here again ❤️

In Monday we started our school trip to Wroclaw, we came to home yesterday (and out train late like 4 hours, funny).

It was AMAZING. We were at many museums, just wandering around in a city, having fun. I bought "White Rose" by Seweryna Szmaglewska. I was at the Starbucks (pumpkin spice latte my love) and just hanging out with friends

That's all. Take care 🫶🫶

Stereotype - an innocent label?

What is a stereotype? The first thing that comes to mind is that it's just that women can't drive cars, men can't paint their nails and women shouldn't be mechanics. But is it true?

Let's start by explaining what a stereotype is. It simplifies certain facts, giving everything a label and sticking to rigid standards. But honestly, who likes labels? Nobody, they could be harmful. Yes, you can say that every stereotype has its reason, or someone can say "This is what the statistics show." But if we were to believe the statistics, then, for example, when you go for a walk with your dog, statistically, you have three legs each.

A stereotype is a tight envelope that often hurts people. For example, why can't a girl be passionate about car mechanics? According to society, she is immediately considered a "tomboy". Assigning an appropriate gender to a given occupation is nonsense and proof that our society still has problems moving forward and looking outside the box. However, harmful stereotypes are slowly disappearing.

So, are stereotypes accurate? Should we follow them? Maybe next time you want to judge someone based on their gender, think twice. As far as I am concerned, for you, it may be just words, but for the other person, it may be something that stays with them and brings them down

My article for school about gender stereotypes, I'm posting it there 'cause in my view it's important to say that here♥️

Guys they posted it two minutes ago I'm crying 😭

Okay but Aya Takano and this art>> it's just a masterpiece

I love the art of Zdzisław Beksiński, I love how vividly and mortifying he manages to portray his nightmares. In art I love the pieces that transmit emotion to me, be it a positive or a negative one, art is suppossed to tug at the heart strings after all.
