Wording An Invitation Pay For There Own Food
would be very easy to say that guy is OK, individualism is passed. But not about that thing. Individualism is not only a "extremism" of the individual, rather it is a trend that leads to the disconnection of the other guys. As such, moreover, a tendency is clearly enhanced and supported by the system, they have long feared a lot more groups than individuals.
The construction of the individual, personal freedom, liberation from social bonds and group, or put another way, the waiver of gregariousness as a role model, is a progressive conquest of the last two centuries in the West. A milestone in this process was the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, human rights can not be understood but as rights of individuals. Something very different are these much more abstract rights are the rights of peoples. Do not deny it, but it should not be understood as rights that affect them, individually, to a sum of people. When not, based on those rights come to commit many atrocities. With these disquisitions
previous, which I was away too much of my purpose, I want to talk about here is a movie I've seen few days ago, its title: Arcadia , and its director: Costa Gavras . Was produced in 2005 but I have recently viewing at home thanks to its distribution earlier this year by the newspaper.
Like most films this renowned Greek director who lived long time in France, it is a political film . It may not look like someone off guard, and may even have to think that this is simply a thriller with a serial murderer in the middle. But there is a political film, and the good. What happens is that politics in this day and age is not talking about strikes or mass major conflicts, is to venture a thesis on what we can do as individuals to not be definitely submitted by the system.
History Gavras tells us is that of a top company executive who, having lost his job and the possibility of collapsed definitely see their status and high level of life (big house in the suburbs, two cars, a luxury, etc, etc) decides to take a solitary struggle and beyond moral against what stands between your reality and desire. And what brought you, by an individualistic and wrong of the problem, there is nothing more than all its competitors, the candidates for the same job to which he aspires. Thus, after investigating who are the executives who have made the same offer curriculum work, decides to go off one by one until he be the only possible contract.
After many vicissitudes and a quite astonishing even to himself, does kill them all and go unpunished and beyond sopecha. Contributes to that the fact that one of those same candidates, in an even more depressing than yours, committed suicide before he gets to kill him, leaving a letter that was interpreted by its ambiguity, as a self-incrimination of the other deaths.
The truth is that the hero, and murderer, reaches its goal and was hired for the job. But the final scene shows through the weakness of false balance achieved, another competitor, in this case a young competitor, having reached the same situation that had come before him, stands on the company and ask to speak with him. The game looks no leaves doubt as to what their purposes: it is proposed to start the fight he rushed individualist, fighting to start by removing him as a competitor.
In our pursuit of happiness who are our enemies. " This foul system, probably very close to its self-destruction, has got embedded in us the competitive mechanism as a supreme value, supposedly the best way to reach our goals. The reality is quite different article because most of the things that can make us happy are only achievable in a group, family, couple.
Moral: the individual struggle, especially in the workplace, not a solution.

Comes After C6h12o6 6o2
A risk that I run to Gorraz for gay, here goes:
We fill the cauldron of laughter and wit,
costumes caresses fill the closet. We made the dressing
dreams and children, painted in the sky
flag affection.
Things get complicated,
if the affection is limited to moments of passion.
climbed the mountain of fights and battles, defeated the pride
weighing the words. We
by bridges and stories of jealousy, the mind
forbid
confused with memories.
swam through the waves of inertia and routine,
with the help of love.
always live together and die together, wherever we go
continue our business.
not let go the hand that the journey is infinite,
and I care that the wind does not uncombed your bangs, and it will be time
the confused souls in one heart ...

High Hemoglobin Sleep
With this title I have given the game post acknowledge that a little forgetfulness. If you had given it had, it would have been very clear. I mean I'm going to talk about fear of freedom, ie the well known book by Erich Fromm become a genre classic test. I read it during my participation in one of the test book clubs in my library.
First I have to say I highly recommend reading it, and not I happen to think that with these comments of mine could I make nowhere near the same enrichment that can give a direct reading of Fromm. I just want, if anything, to arouse interest in doing so.
"The fear of freedom" which was published by Erich Fromm in 1947 and written over the previous years, including the development of World War II, in my opinion was a primary objective: to explain the birth of Nazism and the support received to this ideology and this regime by millions of Germans and many more hundreds of thousands of Europeans from other nations.
A second objective as important as the first was the attempt to lecture and warn of the danger that threatens all societies, including Western democracy "consolidated" to see how large segments of the population may be attracted to authoritarianism as a political solution.
Fromm, which could be defined as a Marxist philosopher, psychoanalyst, he ventured to formulate a psychological explanation of social behavior. After the groups are not more than the sum of individuals, and for that matter, any relationship must be found between collective behavior and psychology of individuals.
Admittedly very complex social evolution explain the psychological basis. Occurs in this case, as in many other branches of knowledge, there are always several magnitudes from which to contemplate reality. For example, although we all know that the basis of all the "really existing" is the atom (below it, subatomic particles, and above, the molecules), one tries to explain the functioning of the digestive system or fluid mechanics based atomic but goes to another dimension elements to do so. Something could be said of Fromm attempted to explain social psychological basis.
But accepting this challenge, in my opinion is true, as Fromm says that "only a theory, psychological using the concept of unconscious forces can penetrate into the dark rationalizations we found when analyzing the individual or culture. A large number of problems, apparently insoluble, they disappear as soon as we decided to abandon the idea that the reasons that people believe are the cause of their actions, thoughts or emotions, are not necessarily those of reality that drives them to act, feel and thinking that certain way ".
Based on this formulation, Fromm tells us why and the how come the inclination of individuals to authoritarianism, conformism and other" mechanisms of evasion. "Everything comes from the discrepancy existing "between the purpose to ensure the smooth functioning of society and to promote the full development of the individual ", which as is clear, are very different things.
more stable societies and" harmonious "were those in which the individual was fully under a social and psychological order which determined the place and aspirations concerning it. Fromm refers to feudal societies. In these societies, lack of freedom led to totally frustrated and unfulfilled individuals from a modern viewpoint, but also On the other hand, the absence of uncertainties. It was with the rise of capitalism and, closely related, with the emergence of the Reformation and the vindication of Christianity more personal and internalized when the individual began to feel free but also unsafe.
Undoubtedly, it is reassuring to believe that your place in the world is defined and not up to you to change it, or future that awaits you after death, but in relation to it is a being called god who awarded it to you on a whim. With these beliefs, there was no room for anxiety.
Those times are gone, because there is no god and that we are obviously free, at least with respect to their psychological meaning. It is for this reason that the modern individual suffering from anxiety, depression, fears.
There is no longer
that established order, and Fromm's words:
- (...)" education too often leads to the elimination of spontaneity and the replacement of original psychic acts by emotion , thoughts and desires imposed from outside ".
- (...)" Modern man lives under the illusion of knowing what you want, when, in fact, want only what is supposed to (socially) has desirable ".
- (...)" We have become automatons who live under the illusion of being gifted individuals free will ".
To date we free in the sense that Fromm gives the concept of "negative liberty", for having got rid of what we were bound, but still are not free in the positive sense because we have not learned to be spontaneous, we have not learned to join nature and balanced reason, will and feelings.

"The walking dead." With this reference in its title to "The Living Dead" presents this new series on AMC, based on the comic by Robert Kirkman.
A priori series pulled me back (the zombie genre, despite what's hot, admittedly, and smells a little, forgive the pun), but in these first three episodes I was hooked bill for his brilliant technique and art (the dirty picture is flawless, and the interpretation of its protagonists reach unsuspected levels quality) and a smart script, which makes the viewer feel for the terror of zombies that slide in herds slowly but surely, dying and throbbing, looking for a piece of intestine to put in their mouth.
But in reality The Walking Dead is a series of zombies. The zombie plague is just the backdrop against which they move about characters that have been collapsed overnight your system of beliefs and values. Only those who have ties to a past that is worth (over) living are able to overcome the madness, despair and brutality.
A very long series that deserves punishment, at least as shown in the first three episodes. Would maintain the level.

NLP is based on a few assumptions. One of the most important is:
"The map is not the territory."
This phrase has a long list of connotations, but the general idea is summarized in that an object is the same mental representation we have of him. Ie, the same object is not equal for two different people. The object is the territory, and the mental representation that makes each object passes through the sieve of memories, experiences, prejudices, expectations and associations that the object is for each person. Your map.
Close your eyes and think of a cat for three or four seconds.
What was the cat?
Returning home I downloaded at Nuevos Ministerios for a ride back home. Four people have crossed with me just as he left the subway station. The four were talking on his mobile phone.
First: I would not have noticed the detail if it were not predisposed to see people (in) talking on the phone. Probably in my head was hanging around that thought because it was taking to the streets in search of oxygen and tranquility. Second
: my brain immediately prejudged there are a number more people talking on mobile phone on the street. This reasoning certainly happy comes again, my bias with the damn machine. Curiosity I entered and started to count the number of people that I passed, classified as "people talking on the phone" and "People are not talking on the phone." A binary target facilitated, for mathematicians. I started with a 4-0 in favor of the "talkative" and I finished with a 84-17 in favor of "non-talkers."
is so easy to remove prejudice and open your mind to the facts. The trouble is that the facts subjectively perceive, based on our values \u200b\u200band beliefs, if not our prejudice.
Unfortunately, not all the prejudices of the world are resolved counting. And in the world in which we live, even count seems complicated.
If not, look at the demonstrations.

Are Menigitis Rashes Itchy
is not usual to recommend a TV show because, as good progress Cultureta could never admit that I use the 37-inch TV to see anything other than Kaurismaki and Bergman films.
But, leaving aside the irony, today I come to recommend this series whose mere presence in the prime time (although it is the prime time of the 2) is in itself a miracle.
The series consists of sketches that take place in a city where all residents have an intellectual level "stupidly" high. In which the ladies of the salon talk about Twitter and social networks, in which parishioners have Augustinian theological debates (I think I just invented that word) with the pastor, or soap operas that take place in the accelerator particles of the French-Swiss border.
