article About Liliana Moreno (Clarín newspaper of October 18, 2006), some reflections ...
And the point is that the current information revolution affects society, culture changes even to the area of \u200b\u200beducation, we must not forget that a new historical period is entitled to a new education.
Perhaps to explain what positive and negative is the current reality, the key be able to distinguish two different fields: the social issues (culture - thinking) and technology. The technology is overwhelming us and wonder, but in the cultural world or thought not show more progress.
What is happening to us then?, There is an inner strength that each of our actions, is present to support or hinder: that force is the will.
Imagine a well, by understanding, which is also subject to the will part, we will determine whether the good is good or bad if loved will act to achieve it. Will not feel like but rather that understanding brings.
The starting point of any process is in intelligence, is the conception of an object as good or bad, right or wrong. The intention to reach to the search results means capable of leading to it, which is an intellectual work. Then when we consent to the media in order to end this is a net measure of the will. Moreover, the media analysis, what is the easiest, which is the most effective, intellectual work. Finally, the discussion ends with the election of half, excluding others, is the central act of will, choice or decision. Well, we know then that man has intelligence, will and freedom to choose an object or another mode of action or another, one solution or another.
It turns out that this man is embedded in a society that is in crisis and whose characteristics are as follows: questioning the values, ideals fade and beliefs, there are mismatches between what is said and done , incoherent behavior, it undermines the authority and always looking for some guilty .
Then and
Finally, we will be understood that we are not facing a problem of procedures ("are inexperienced in handling appointments) or to a technological problem (Internet), but rather against the culture of instant, the fleeting, compared to the absence of commitments and permanent links, compared to the culture of Least Effort compared to the absence of the ability to reason with rigor and critical thinking, compared to the absence of values \u200b\u200band face a degree of permissiveness and relativism as a dangerous level that could obliterate the best intentions and ideals, making out new rules, norms and behaviors merely subjective.

If these lines were issued to a teacher, I would say that the task of the home are recommended two courses of action: to cultivate the intellect and the will of their students.
intelligence so they can distinguish the true from the false, truth from falsehood, right and wrong, and the will to choose the best decision, the best choice, or what is the itself, contribute to form a character, a personality, in short a man with a sense of transcendence .
