Before the course starts, write a few lines here about a topic you would like to be addressed during the course.
In order to promote gender diversity in an organization, both women and men need to participate in the process. In what ways men can effectively take part in an organizational setting to bring a positive change? Do men need to overcome their own stereotypical gender roles?
For some time there has been a discussion on the use of gender-neutral language or gender-inclusive language, I would like to know the opinion of participants in the course because, for some, this type of language violates the grammatical rules and does not bring anything of significance, whereas for others, is the expression of a need to name what language does not name, with the idea that language is a reflection of society, a society that is not egalitarian.

I think that a theme to discuss could be the vocabuary, beacuse when I have to write something about the gender issue I don’t know if it is better to use the term “equality” or “inequality”. In my 3 years studying of Psychology I understood how important are words, because they can really change the people response.
Another topic could be “When starts gender inequality?”, because in my opinion we should change the way we see men and women since the very beginning, with new generations. We are in 2018 and we are making some progress, but there are still many stereotypes which are emphasized by social media.
