Taking Valium Exercise

Our software and hardware.


Bridging the gap and for the sake of an explanatory model simple and affordable, I would make an odious comparison between man and machine. I do not intend to equate the pure mechanistic machine to human complexity, their cognitive processes and emotional conditions that make a unique human being exceptionally convoluted and complicated. Rather, I intend to determine the elemental bases that could justify the confusing process of personal development and their integration or their cultural socialization.

Put simply, human beings understand from the duality of body and mind. In other words, the body is the hardware, of varying quality, which sustains the mind, which is the intellectual support that develops knowledge through the cognitive process based on the data and form, principles, values, repression, guidance, moral, ethical, etc. culture that determines where you insert the subject.

whereas I am not an expert in computer, try to make a conceptual abstraction, and according to Wikipedia, "... software is known as the logical or software of a digital computer, includes all necessary software components that enable performing tasks specific, as opposed to the physical components, which are called hardware. " So the software makes reference to operating programs or ways to compute and analyze the data, being related to the basic purpose for which they were developed. Each program has its complexity and requires more memory and processor. We're talking about, therefore, ways and means to address and resolve the process. For the installation people would compare with the educational process, training to be given to each individual face my life and the events they might encounter there. That is, the computer program is installed according to the objectives pursued and the subject is education and shape.

Certainly, the hardware, compared with the physical body, refers to the intellectual capacity of the subject, quality and genetic component, more memory, IQ (Intelligence Quotient), more intellectual capacity ... A more likely smarter install programs higher, ie more likely to understand and understand the subject better, to be more capable of reasoning and critical to process stimuli that will better perceive that their potential will take you to be a scientist, philosopher or high intellectual level ...

That said, I want to focus on the objective target of this reflection. The substantial difference between human and computer, as I said excuse me for the simplicity of comparison, is that we can erase the computer and install other programs better than we discover or develop, as long as the hardware can support , while in humans we have to work without modifying the already installed can delete, but could be relegated to the cache memory. That is, can not escape the educational schemes that we were installed throughout our childhood, but leave them in the deepest subconscious. So we have to work modifying the existing software, but within the possibilities they leave us.

We can not erase your hard drive, format it and start installing a program from ignoring the previous higher level. We have to work on existing and adapt to new times, new demands. Therefore we understand and evolve from the initial program, which affects the absorption capacity and development, as the learned patterns are not always adapted to social evolution.

In these cases internal conflict may emerge as a result of a collision between a value established in our childhood and a new principle, rationally, try to assume. This principle can be assumed without problems for another generation that has not been our educational process and constraints involved, but we are condemned to develop and manage the conflict referred to manage the process fault that is generated by it. These schemes

children in place during the years of national Catholicism, for example, have marked a whole generation who have been responsible for a transition from the submission to the system and these principles inculcated in childhood, into a state of idealized freedom mimicked the European environment. It took the generational conflict, confrontation of these young eager that freedom, with the dominant group, marked by the principles and stale and anachronistic policy of the establishment. Interestingly this bum had their exhaust valves, uncontrolled spillage, which made many people think that free education was to allow each to evolve at will, without imposing a certain order or principles that cultivate constructive values \u200b\u200bresponsible for securing that emancipation was intended.

Indeed, the law of the pendulum is inexorable. Only one force is neutralized, which places the pendulum in one hand, if you oppose one of greater power for the other, leading, once broken the rope opposite to the displacement of the pendulum in an uncontrolled manner to the opposite end. Striking a balance is often a matter of time and strategy to release pressure and put in the right perspective the pendulum to which itself is held in balance, without pressure from any quarter.

I return from the hills of Ubeda, where I walked in the two preceding paragraphs, to focus on the impact of children's schemes in the life of the elderly today. I mean fifty people up, according to cases. I refer not only to the willingness and ability in handling new technologies and their application, which demonstrates the great differences between the young and adult, but to their own principles and values \u200b\u200bthat were instilled and that condition behaviors and attitudes.

The new positions and attitudes towards certain issues such as sex, relationship men, women, family role, intransigence, impermeability to other arguments and a wide etc., which formed positions that have undergone a significant change in their social and cultural, have been studded with fresh in the minds of new, educated in infants in these generations, while the adaptability of older generations has required more effort, if not inter-and intrapersonal conflict to assimilate a new situation that the old forge on with their conditions. That is, the old schemes inoculated in childhood continue to permeate and condition our behavior to a greater or lesser extent, as and. Our old program does not support the changes with the ease that required again. Our old software can not be adapted to the same result as the present. To this should have been deleted and installed the old and modern.

Funny, but I have discussed some respectable old friends, who have been champions of change, including me, "Sometimes, when I do something wrong or offensive, a taco or a loose shit on me ... with some unease , reminded me, automatically, the "you're going to condemn" that small, I told the priest, the teacher or more of my people to these events. My old software still works and that I do not believe in God or religion. And sexual experiences and not talk ... "Will the end was near, my power is off and return the fears that persist in the depths of being, those fears to God's Righteous Judgement.

However, since these programs to be installed throughout childhood, used to manage life and relationship with the environment, the question arises: What should be the principles and values \u200b\u200bto instil in young to ensure that no impediments to personal development, to be adaptable and assimilation of the changes that may arise, to ensure the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing human to avoid the stultifying and ignorance, to cultivate the essence of social and human solidarity, the peace, involvement, responsibility and understanding between peoples?

I think that's the challenge of the education system, develop programs, software, men and women to make free and responsible, involved and supportive, without traumas and dogmas conditions and defeat them in the future. Each have our hardware more or less quality, but there must be a basic program, a software, which puts them at the same ramp, which allows continuous improvement without limitation and versatility, then other software may be included as each ability and motivation.
