The world woman…
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
The world woman I have used it of title because it is as this question in me began. What means that of difficult world woman… for which it has not listened to east term. But very interesting, it comes related man from world. For my he is somebody that is able to live here or anywhere on the world and yet what this implies.

He is interesting to know the cultures around the world, its food, music, beliefs and all those components that make of each somewhat unique and rich culture to learn. For example, I must say that the best experiences of coexistence than I have had have been in student Dorms or residences, and the only thing that come me to the mind is, the coexistence with many people is extraordinary.

I believe that he is one of the places where I have more enjoyed and which I have better memories of my trips to the outside, lived in departments with friends and friends but the Dorm or calls to account student is the maximum. You develop a very high tolerance. You learn to distinguish the things that can be changed, which are those that depends on you, and those almost always that you cannot change that in the individual they are your companions of residence yet what they include.

Also you learn much to think about them whenever takings decision, because somehow you know that if you move a piece or not you move it can affect the harmony of all the group, is what I call “Theory of the mind in action”, to think that it is what he or she or they will think if I do or I do not do that or that consequences will have. Difficult but necessary… the ethics and moral play much in this part.

But there is also the friendship sense and there it is when you know to the meaning of the friendship and the rich thing that is knowledge that we lived in a world with so special people and of which we can learn so much. They are those people who give life lessons us and that do a more human being to you, more flexible and empático.

I can say absolutely that the respect is one of the rules number one of coexistence, so important for the harmony. Second I believe that it is the empathy, sometimes to know how to put to us in the place of the other; to try to feel what the other feels. Of I believe there that our tolerance is born. The tolerance… the tolerance… the friend number one in the group coexistence but as I said to product of the respect and the empathy.

But good of which if you enjoy very many it is of the meals… each culture has its special season, and is a luxury to learn culinarios prescriptions and advice. This is of the best advantages to coexist far better in group of companions and if they are of different part from the world. This is something that me I do not lose it, learning a new prescription.

Another detail is the difference in thinking, it surprises you like the people can think so different and that this is what makes each unique person and therefore with a special value. It fascinates to me as it is possible to be learned of each culture when we spoke of the divine thing. I adore my Hindu, Buddhist friends, baptists, Muslims, Christians, evangelical, atheistic? Of each one I learned something.

The codes and habits are another point. I believe that of most complicated and it is there when so made famous communication and the privilege of being able to have a language helps us and us it makes so special….the human race. The communication is the best tool to solve the problems of this type. The codes some times are difficult to decipher but they are graceful when you get them to understand. Often there are codes that you do not know to distinguish if they are in serious or playfully… and is when they leave thinking and you say you will be or it is not… At those moments is better to make sure… or better to remain with the doubt in some cases, I say by respect or verguenza, ja… ja…

But good thus it is as we are learning and understanding the complexity of the coexistence and the so important thing that it is our respect, empathy and tolerance for a harmony atmosphere. It seems to me that this type of coexistence is a metaphor of which the real world is and what it means to be a citizen of the world or world woman, somebody that knows to live simultaneously surrounded by people but knows to respect, to be empático and tolerant with the human species, the species sisters and yet the planet… without forgetting the ethics and moral that this entails.

Dedicated to my sister, her captious questions and Happy mez of the Atmosphere:)

Online Education Today
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
“Online education is established, growing, and here to stay. For It is creating new opportunities for students and also faculty, regulators of education, and the educational institutions themselves. Much of what is being learned by the practitioners will flow into the large numbers of blended courses that will sees developed and delivered on most campuses. Pedagogical Some of what is being learned will certainly improve approaches and possibly affect to other important problems, such ace the lengthening Time to completion of to degree. Online education is already providing to better for Access to education many, and many dwells will benefit from this increased Access in the coming years ". (A. Frank Mayadas, John Bourne, Paul Bacsich, 2009)


Commentary:
It enchants to me to see as in several places of the planet it is being revolutionized in the education. It is incredible as the education is taking a turn, and is necessary an update. But first an evaluation necessity exists to know where we are. Lamentably, the way in how east message has arrived at the Ecuadorian teachers has created an atmosphere of risk and instability where they are threatened his economic resources, as they are it his jobs.

At the moment in Ecuador it is wanted to implant a process of evaluation for the teachers. But a strong opposition of the organized groups of teachers exists. I had the opportunity to attend a congress of teachers of UNITES it, where I could observe the opposition of them the evaluation implanted by the government.

They are not against the evaluation but of the dismissal threats that they have but they approve the evaluations. I believe that in this sense the government has not known to arrive at the teacher of a strategic way. The subject are not to have left we without teachers, the great objective is to form educating, not to disappear them. There is a great difference in dismissal and empoderamiento of the teachers.

It must distribute a new message again that transmits the necessity to take to a process more scientist in the education of Ecuador for which the support of the teachers to these initiatives of change is fundamental. By means of the threats the changes will not be obtained that the education of our country needs, we needed the union and consensus thus to obtain the changes that we hoped.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
The total attention helps us to restore our internal balance, taking care of of integral form the aspects of the person; body, mind and spirit. Practicing the total attention we developed a greater capacity of discernment and compassion. The practice of this attention opens the door towards new possibilities, brings us to here and to now, it invites to us to live a total life of way and in the present (Jon Kabat-Zinn)

What easy is to forget our attention in our being, we lived in the world of the illusion. Where what it surrounds to us and it happens it robs the attention of our center with much facility. The life happens to be a world outside our internal world, and is there, when there is a disconnection of our internal and external world. My question is when we lose it? when we began to pay attention more to the external world and to now forget our reason to us being here and.

During this week I received the news of friends mine in situations of much stress, that had taken them to cases of extreme health, as much as well as paralysis and problems of stomach where apparently something induced by its moods was no a viral factor but rather. For which I began to fix a little plus my attention to me. There when the question arose between the rubbish of my conscience, with the aid of a commentary of a friend on my behavior towards the life, made think that it was forgetting a fundamental aspect to me, went a call to my center, to my conscience but it commits, the self. During that same week I began to notice that I had been falling in this type of circumstances excess of stress and disease, somewhat surpassed but something still present, in aim. It is here where I want to begin speaking on the excess of importance which we give to our past and future.

I believe that the expectations are one of the factors that do not allow us to enjoy our present. Sometimes it can get to opacar it. For that reason it is important to fix our attention on which really we counted, with observable and the present thing. This is on which in fact we can count and live. To enjoy which we lived and we have now, to the maximum, because we do not know if we will continue it having or we do not have it. For that reason, this moment is only and valuable. So that to live what not yet it has happened, or what can that never happens? Many of our fears and anxieties reside here.

Now to live in the past can be another distraction of our present, can that we are living our present but very at heart on our hearts we live a past that already happened. A past that no longer is and that is not plus our present. Many of the causes of the depression are our thoughts of the past, of the lived thing. These are events that happened in a past; we do not have it in the present but nevertheless we lived in the past on our resentment. Of what it is worth our resentment? Don't mention it. To whom makes damage? To we ourself. This it is one of most difficult to distinguish, because it can be hidden of different forms in our hearts.

Good now the resentment is very well related to the wrath. If we spoke of the wrath that is something so normal and common in our days, we really wanted to know the meaning of the wrath. “This it is a feeling of intense misfortune, hostility, or indignation as resulting from a real or imaginary threat, insult, frustration or injustice towards our person or somebody important one for us” (Villas Stanley, 2009). But I do not say to that we do not experience it, at its moment. It can be that if an event of this type I cause wrath, sadness and I bother to us. But she is by health ours that an event of this type must be canalized of the best way, than does not get to hurt our body, mind and spirit. The error would be to follow it living although already it had happened.

Many of these consequences of living in the past we see it newspaper. The world wars are the turn out to live a past that already step, the circumstances have changed. No longer we spoke of such contexts, nevertheless still we lived the wrath that has happened of generation in generation.

It is sad but, often are broken relations with friends who at their moment, past, caused sadness to us but he is wise to know that that was in the past, that the things no longer continue being the same ones. That the same fact that we lived a new present gives the opportunity us to live a new opportunity with more understanding and opening.

Then when we spoke of the total attention, one talks about to the attention in us, the attention who we give our life. Thus, the fact to put more attention in our thoughts, attitudes and actions will help to give us account us when we are turning aside ourselves of the center. That means, not to lose the horizon of our internal universe the one that maintains to us eternally alive, without distracting to us in painful or future the past uncertain. To live the present! The only one which we have at the moment, this moment.

Mecanismos...
Translations available in: Spanish (original) | French | Italian | German | Portuguese | English | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Mechanisms…
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
The Ecuadorian young people will vote in these new elections from the 16 years, being a great number of the participant population. But now the great question is if they will know to defend themselves of the deceit mechanisms. That so hard they will be his beliefs, familiar influences, mental schemes, in aim will be very interesting to see the decision making in the Ecuadorian young people.
In the meantime if it wanted to contribute with information on another type of deceit mechanism, being that this time will be crucial young to know how to detect them these used mechanisms of deceit of many ways in political marketing and will be interesting to observe them and to analyze them as they are related to our lives and our decision making.
The exageración this is another method that has been used for a long time in the propagandistic messages. Of equal way it has been used by average union politicians and. The typical phrases? I will give bread, ceiling and use. The great question is, will be possible and realístico to say that it will do it for all the town, so that if it is therefore we vote by him. In the same way it happened in Ecuador where in the last presidential elections (2006) it was murmured of bought votes. For example, promises became of houses for poor people, ¨El that votes by my will have techo.¨ Is very little probable that they go has so fantastically to solve the problem of the house for all people, but the message makes outside seem as if for all people. Then the opposition to this political party made investigations on if this supply were possible and it spread it in the average public that was spoken of a deceit, the exageración.
Jose L. Leon in 1993 says that the exageración through adjectives and metaphors causes that the information is seen more tempting and accentuates the interest and the acceptance of the same one by the receiver. The author says that it is possible to be had two basic forms: made in subjective terms. For example, first it is affirmations that cannot be demonstrated like certain or noncertain? I am a servant of God. It will be that in fact it has like proving, has like asking to him God on this asseveration.
Secondly they are the exageraciones of the frank falsification that can arrive at the frank falsification. In this makes Leon reference (1993) in the case of the Lorillard cigarettes that they affirmed in an independent study on the quality of the tobacco, affirming to have the lowest level of nicotine and tar between the cigarette marks. The fact was certain was a difference but a very slight insignificant difference inducing to the error the consumers. The same one that is used to establish the difference between the cigarette levels within a same mark, that means? Malboro Light? it brings a this great difference in its cruel consequences, the reality, no.
Preston (1975) says that although the exageración does not specify facts, this communicates facts via implication and that literally in addition these facts are false, being in clear that a substantial percentage of the public is deceived through the implication. To imagine that a substantial percentage can be the degree of which many young people are catched in the deceit of the opened addictions to the public and readily accessible.
A group in individual that studies plus the commercial land, Levitt (1970) says that people wish something more than the pure functionality and has compared to the publicity with Literature and the poetry. Causing that hipérbole serves to communicate emotions and experiences. Not if in the recovery of addict patients hipérbole in great sense helps of something.
Of prudent a with Leon (1993) the exageración has the vile capacity to create deceit because the exageración tends not to be perceived as so on the one hand significant of I less even publish and if it leans in magnificent facts. In conclusion Jose L. Leon says that the literally created exageración is able to confuse the public and to affect its attitudes, conducts and beliefs. To what extent the world has been persuaded this way? Single we have left to study the history of the world and to see how hard has been this type of persuasion.

Implication…
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
In this article me refiriré in individual to a deceit mechanism, of which I create is important to share and I hope that many of you are careful of not falling, the deceptive implication.
One of the mechanisms of deceit in agreement with Jose Luis Leon, 1993 are the one of deceptive implication, in which apparently the people do not seem to fall as much in deceits reason why she is said but reason why she implies of the deceptive message. The people interiorizan the message and construct to interpretations on he himself and the source. The interpretations happen through a process that first stores in the memory turning to the inferences more important information that the literal message. Inclusively it says that the individual can get to forget the distinction between inference and literal meaning, being created a distortion between the own interpretation and the literal thing.
In an experiment made by Preston (1967) it mentions that in a 35% of the cases, the people are to us able to perceive the falsification of the interpretation being turn out to guess the intentions of the persuasor. This puts to think to us on the amount of messages that can have around a subject and which they can be emitted in this sense of different forms. Without the subject is conscientious in their taking of dediciones before the deceit.
Leon (1993) says that in many occasions the message is constructed so that it causes inferences leaving to respond to the truth. Of equal way it mentions that the deceit via implication can not only be in the persuasivo message but in he himself referring one of the message. This can be very typical in the Internet, where are many messages of this type where one is persuaded without sometimes seeing as it is the truth of the message.
In an investigation made by Harris, Dark brown Dubitsky, and (1983) the capacity of the people was observed to distinguish between messages with implicit load and messages that make affirmations literal. In this study they found that it was difficult to obtain that people made that distinction. Part of which to deduce inferences and to assume that they are truth are a natural and frequently useful function in the human information processing, in this way to the subjects of the training studies is requested to them that they let do something that is normal.
One of the ways to contrarestar this is to create a counterproposal to help the people who have been victim of these deceits. For this it will be needed to resort thus to studies in cognitiva psychology that study is area, helping to resist these manipulations.
