Blog 6: How Can Your Major/Career Make the World a Better Place
Hi everybody :) Today we are going to talk about how your major can make the world a better place. I think teachers can make the world a better place by showing things that students normally don't see on TV. But to do that also may mean to teach things that the school authorities wouldn't like us teaching to students like for example, teaching about feminism and how racism works economically.
In the case of English teaches, I think we have to remember that nothing is neutral and therefore we have to take positions on many things, especially the role of the United States in the world. In class, I try to use materials that show how the United States has negatively influenced the world (think how Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship was supported by the USA). Also, it's important to show that English isn't just from the USA or England, but also from many Caribbean countries (like we have seen in class) and many African countries, as well. I think that teaching English is good because you can understand other perspectives and communicate with many people using this language. But we have to remember that we should teach to help change the world. Honestly, I think just teaching is not enough, we have to be an example for our students. For example, I am not only an English teacher, but also a union leader of the "honorarios" workers of the university because we need to change our poor working conditions. I think that is how my role as an English teacher makes the world a better place
