Error Message F61 Technics

.... (Column in www.independientesenred.cl)


you are no longer the same as before, that his intentions are beyond what is reasonable, who lost the "mystical foundation" that are interested legislator. These and other comments have come from the new wave of demonstrations by students in recent months. The truth is that they raised them before, today I give it hard for the sole purpose of get rid of them.

Juan Eduardo García Huidobro, chairman of the Advisory Council concluded and education, said in a radio interview discomfort over the current draft of the LGE. The academic said the institutions in this area must be built by those who make education every day and not only by political actors. Without going any further, UNESCO took an unprecedented public statement which points out the need to take into account the social actors in making definitions of the new law. But instead of listening to experts and stakeholders, and participatory and inclusive decision-making, our political class does water presenting an agreement that leaves all happy, except to them that should not be ignored.

We must remember that reform structural educational system was an outstanding issue since the return to democracy. Successive coalition governments have not played mostly the subject, primarily by how difficult it would raise it to an adverse political scenario. Had to be "victims" of this event who put the issue on the table. Without the intervention of the Penguins in 2006, none of this would happen, and would still trapped in futile debates with the publication of the results of SIMCE or PSU.

Today, the Council completed and submitted the bill, we see that none of the information and requests of this movement - and none of other relevant stakeholders - was taken into account. It may or may not agree with his ideas, but that does not invalidate their position. Education is a public good, like it or not, and as such criteria must be participatory. An education reform reflects what we as a society, we want to be in the future. If what we want is what was approved in Congress, the future looks very black.


However, regarding the current protests, there is much to say. You have received a very powerful tool for social actors. We have seen that it does not move or paralyzed, gets nothing in return. If the truckers do not block the roads, no increase in the tax return. Therefore, if the students and teachers (ironically the segments involved in the educational process) do not move, then it is unthinkable that they can express their opinion. We have tried to reassure the child by giving them the notions of power, integrating the work tables or generating negotiations with them, but when adding their positions or at least explain its absence, they closed the door. We can not expect to sit quietly in the classroom as they see their future shattered by political agreements over priority courageous and determined action. Urge

in Chile, then processes effective citizen participation, to enable all sectors of society to express their views and opinions to decision makers. If we want to avoid demonstrations, strikes or shots, the choice is not disqualified or attack, but accept and understand. In short, getting the public to endorse the country's future.

WHY OBAMA (by Hernán Larraín Jr.)


Taken from www.independientesenred.cl

something seems to be agreement in regard to cross U.S. elections: what comes next George W. Bush, the better. Now the question is who, Obama or McCain. And while both have good reason to be elected, Obama represents the best option today, preceded by a phenomenon that is not just elections, but political and even social.

Obama has come to impose a political project is, above all, epic. Faced with this, good reasons or financial strength alone is not enough. In contemporary societies, the politics of emotions is necessary, and Obama is the best example.
is now repeated, but true: the current U.S. presidential campaign has already become a landmark historical, and that is just beginning. The central factor of this fact is called Obama. Chanted the explanation so far to describe his victory over Clinton, in addition to an innovative campaign and a clear message of hope and change, has been his charisma and aura of inspirational leader. But it goes much deeper than this. The primaries have managed to rescue the U.S. encourage the down anymore, due to the war in Iraq and the fragile economic situation. In this context, capacity has been key to revitalizing the ailing U.S. policy as a legitimate place to dream the future. Against the cynical and disaffected from politics, both at home and in el resto del mundo, el candidato demócrata ha venido a imponer una revolución que es por sobre todo simbólica. El liderazgo de Obama es emocional y sistémico, pues vuelve a demostrar que al inyectarle épica a los desafíos públicos, la confianza de los ciudadanos puede volver a los políticos y especialmente, a la democracia y sus instituciones.

Pero la emocionalidad de Obama está acompañada de buenos argumentos. Un ejemplo  de ello es su visión de política exterior. La postura que ha asumido acerca de la guerra en Irak y las relaciones exteriores de EEUU con sus pares, representa un elemento diferenciador medular. This has imposed in his speech the primacy of diplomacy over military force. For his part, McCain is a strong proponent of the invasion of Iraq and wants the U.S. to maintain "a peacekeeping force" indefinitely. Obama, who opposed the war, today proposed a withdrawal over 16 months. The message is simple: Obama is peace, McCain is war.
Another example is the freedom of action as a potential president Obama. The use of new technologies in his campaign has not only been a blow to the chair in the mobilization of bases, spatially among young people. The makers of 'Yes we can' have generated a grants to avoid Obama being co-opted by large corporate groups and lobbyists in the case coming to Washington. A single statistic: 94% of their funding is for grants of less than $ 200. The message? Obama is an independent, not McCain.

Examples abound and point to the same thing: Obama is a phenomenon and its story is not just marketing and rhetoric. Obama's narrative is, at heart, the heart of his project. And to beat this weapon, of course, will take more than good political rationality and traditional. But just ask Hillary.

Solidarity is not for sale.


Something is happening in the world of foundations and NGOs who are dedicated to overcoming poverty. From the various Managers of Social Responsibility and many companies look favorably upon mere philanthropy actions of giving money to these agencies. The sense of the Social Responsibility corrode from the moment we do not assume a full challenge of the company, but as a marketing strategy and, in some cases, clean image.

These NGOs, with emaciated coffers, willing open their doors to these funds without asking where they come from or why. Simply decide that their mission is so important that they are willing to reach a goal through any means. Years in Chile solidarity seems sold. From a telethon that accepts money from companies such as Leader, known for its poor labor practices, even as America Solidarity Foundation (for whom I have the utmost respect) that have recently agreed to be sponsored by Barrick controversy.

Someone might say that the system is well and that overcoming poverty is clearly more important than protecting a glacier in the desert. But clearly this is the mentality that Social Responsibility approach aims to break. Not to sound alarmist, But in a world where the fuel becomes a scarce commodity, where food prices are rising steadily and where global warming is no longer a little paranoia, it seems unreasonable to think about sustainable development as a second order issue.

is not feasible to maintain a Cartesian view of the problem. We can not think that overcoming poverty or exclusion are so indifferent to maintain a more balanced in their resources and needs. And the relationship between economic development and environment are in constant tension also is the issue of obtaining resources from the non-profit organizations. For more laudable the cause, it is irresponsible to initiate such an adventure without the challenge of making a full contribution to society. One organization, whatever it is, must take charge of their environment, their employees, their beneficiaries and, in the same measure, the country and society we are.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, so goes the well-known economists said. Today this is reflected in some people try to "buy the sky" by paying some mediaguas or maintaining a volunteer to absolve their sins.
