Tiempo de pensar

Abstract

In the complexity of today’s world, so abundant with terms as over used and unclear as globalization, multiculturalism, inter-culturalism, sustainable consumption and suchlike, with teaching staff burdened by exhaustive and unclear regulations and complexity mentioned where there is only confusion, it seems appropriate  to restore terms and concepts to their basic meaning by assuming the paradox of simplifying our mind in order to accept complexity as the sum of elements which, together and not separately, create reality. This is not about a juxtaposition of elements, but about their overlapping into a guiding thought. A world through the vertiginous process of transforming itself, in which knowledge emerges almost daily already obsolete or incomplete, demands answers with an open, comprehensive and flexible mind; one that is both wide and humble in its awareness that we live through constant learning and that, we find our identity in the development of that demanding exercise of meditated adaptation, while trying to cooperate with those in the process of acquiring an education to achieve it. Thus, I vindicate both the teaching staff’s obligation and right to think, assuming responsibility for their thought.
