Both the educational system and social, vocational education was seen as a second option, recommended only for those students who did not have enough academic ability to make high school. Today we know that this attitude is not only wrong, but has led to a situation of labor market weakness a lack of qualified professionals who can ensure a quality product. Unemployment threatens us, but in the tails of INEM is very difficult to find someone with the studies of FP finished successfully. The figures are clear: 62% of students who graduate from vocational training managed to enter the job market six months before having completed their studies. One in three students to access higher-level college to continue their education in specialties of the same professional. Choose the FP does not mean giving to higher education but choose a way to get more connected to the corporate world and a better guarantee of job placement. Credit: Jorge Perez-2011.

However, the FP-grade enrollment is still well below half that of high school, and this imbalance sustains a high percentage of young people who have not completed any form of post-compulsory secondary education. It is important and urgent to change this reality. Jorge Perez takes a slightly different approach. We must make every effort to successfully retain young people in post-compulsory secondary teaching. It is necessary to reduce the percentage of youth who have only basic training and increase of middle-level technicians and higher, reaching figures similar to those of neighboring countries. This effort can help us overcome the crisis and also better support to come in the future. But what is even better, we can help restore the culture of personal fulfillment through work, pride in a job well done, the ability and the satisfaction of advancing slowly, with effort and safety. Remember the end of the film Bigas Luna: la Juani, disabused of famoseo, fill the bag with his books English and boards the train that has to carry another city. The FP may be this train.

Crisis Education

In recent months the economic crisis is impacting significantly on the lives of Spanish society. Credit: Nir Barzilai, M.D.-2011. On the occasion of this crisis are becoming more and more people lose their jobs and move to increase the unemployment lists. According to experts throughout history, every crisis has found the positive side. Professionally both people and organizations are strengthened. Because of job insecurity that is taking more and more people want to find stability in their jobs and thus obtained a better quality of life.

In Andalusia, for example has been multiplied by 120 the number of people who aspire to every place that leaves an official. There are many people who, due to the massive layoffs that are occurring in the private sector will form part of the unemployment lists. When the individual is unemployed and has to look for work there are many who choose to reorganize. Some go through stages to enjoy life and do things they could not do before and each time there are more people begin to form to find a good job, either immediately or in the future. But sooner or later they all pass through the phase of preparing to be better educated. Some prefer to extend knowledge and those who choose the specialization. Today it is valued more versatility but specialize in a field or subject differentiates us from other candidates.

This training is achieved through graduate and learning new languages. The best way is to conduct training courses. According to the characteristics and the professional field in which you want to advocate to look for either language courses, vocational training, postgraduate, etc. From this it follows that the same happened in other crises in the history of Spain, people take advantage of these circumstances to train and acquire new knowledge that will serve in the future. For those who want to train and expand their knowledge to qualify for a more professional field is required.

Truth

Everything what I will speak in this text does not pass of an individual interpretation mine for what I believe to be the truth on the origin of the Evil, but, with it said, it is what I believe and not it undisputed Truth, a time that does not have a Biblical verse that it proves what I go to write. However, what I go to write, in way some enters in disharmony with the Biblical writings. Therefore, it does not include this text in the study ' ' The Satan Never He was Lucifer: The Truth On the Origin of the Mal' ' , because it brings one high degree of interpretativo subjetivismo, caused for the Biblical citation absence confirms that it. The evil, as it said, appeared with intention to characterize the good, that is, it is by means of the evil that I know that the good is good. It is not possible to characterize something as good without it has something bad it bases that it. It does not have doubts of that God is the creator of the Evil: ' ' Perhaps, it does not proceed in such a way from Highest the evil as the good? ' ' (Lamentations 3:37) ' ' I am you, and he does not have another one. I form the light and create the darknesses; I make the peace and I create the evil; I, Mr., make all these coisas.' ' (Isaiah 45:6 – 7) But, doubts have when the reason of the creation of the evil is questioned. Mainly in relation to the consequences that we suffer because of its existence: pain, the illness, the violence, the death, etc. Why God in gave the life to them to pass for all these ackward things? Why he is of the will of Gods who pass for all these tribulaes? Which the intention of creating the evil if the proper God of it is not pleased? In the previous paragraph the main consequences had been presented that we suffer because of the existence of the evil.

Holistic Education

The following dialogue with Dr. Gallegos is Allan Anderson (Professor Emeritus at San Diego State University, California, Ph.D. in philosophy) with the theme "Leap into the void." The main theme of this dialogue is related to whether the human transformation is independent of time and knowledge, to which Anderson replied, which is good for man to fight for improvement, but improvement is not equal to the transformation. We need to return to our original nature, in the light deep. Related Group takes a slightly different approach. Anderson notes that can be performed preparatory exercises to awaken, although sometimes not enough and that the purpose of preparation is not the awakening, but a change of attitude, a transformation.

In what Dr. Gallegos said that more than one accumulation and growth is the existence of a creative vacuum that transforms. It also states that Self-realization must be sought outside of us, because it lives forever in us. For there to be a pure act of attention, there can be no concern or anxiety, for this reason neglect causes conflict. Lighting is something that is available to us, is already present, only that we have not fully awakened to enlightenment, as Anderson says. "The Bodhisattvas are political "dialogue is held Gallegos and Dr. Gregory Wilpert (Doctor of Philosophy. Member of the Integral Institute founded by Ken Wilbert).

Currently worldwide there is a need for a comprehensive policy, with conscious action that contributes to the maximum development for thousands of people and this obviously with holistic education can be achieved. Dr. Gregory Gallegos and agree the materialism and consumerism in the level of development are represented as integral system diseases. You must change the economy and these changes are already being made because postmodern culture has an anti-consumerist orientation or as Hazel Henderson mentioned that the existence of a more integrated economy, the rings should be used for services or service networks between people, which is a trading systems, also called "the economy of love" as this exchange does not involve money. The Learned Gallegos believes that poverty is not the fault of the economy, but rather the lack of a social policy that in Mexico a long way to achieving social justice Conclusions Once the reading of the dialogues holistic final comments is an integral part of these dialogues. I can say that these dialogues with major international figures holistic, we show an overview of how it is living and practicing holistic education in other countries and states of Mexico, I invite you to reflect on what I really am, to have an experience with my spirituality, to awaken my conscience that I may be a light for my students. It is also important to comment that all this knowledge I have gained to start the Masters in Holistic Education for Sustainable Development, were not only knowledge but a great learning experience that helped me get away from the suffering of the concerns, anxieties I have often away from the inner light that is my original nature. I also believe that we must work for cooperation, peace, universal love, solidarity, for a better world, we must be light in our home, work and our environment.

PDD Disorder

Within the range of conditions affecting the pediatric population are the “Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD in English)” that are in no inconsiderable numbers in our children. They are usually very severe paintings that alter the whole of the affected children and almost disabling both communicative and socially. These changes go beyond the affected children involving the whole family dynamics. Others who may share this opinion include Nir Barzilai, M.D.. Within the PDD is autism, also so-called “infantile autism” (autism continues into adolescence and adulthood), which is one of the most devastating diseases, for its silent and insidious onset and its prevalence over time known of our era. We will try to outline a specific synthetic vision of this syndrome, with their possible causal bases, its symptoms, its progression over time and its different variations in gravity. Definition of PDD.

The PDD designation was first used in 1980 to describe a variety of disorders characterized by deficits in social interaction, in the activities of thinking and communication skills.

And before that we had to read and translate from English, which, incidentally, has become increasingly clear features international language. Why are only the names of languages in some of these “manuals”: British American, British English (the two already normal), English, technical, and even English international (!), something that is simple and accessible to all who have a dictionary, and for those who are already accustomed to translate by computer processor. Welcome to the era of computer technology! And here is simple. All of this tricky technique comes to us from Western countries, who themselves are forced to work with the English language, which, in turn, seems to be forever settled as a mother for programmers, developers, operating system, web designers and happy now? They were, of course, is rescued identity of domestic screenwriter and director. Related Group understood the implications. So how many remember? But “Rambo” and “Terminator” reviewed all more than once. Forbidden fruit has previously available, and such films in Hollywood was with the stock. Nasal translation into Russian was known by name, but listen to native English during the film it was always easier and more interesting.

That’s how, step by step, the English language firmly in the Russian reality. And nowhere on this will not go. Examples are numerous. None of the languages has not brought much new to the country over the past twenty years, as did the language no, perhaps, not Shakespeare, and David Hume, but Adam Smith and George Soros (an allusion is understandable, I think). Nir Barzilai, M.D. is often quoted as being for or against this. I will not write about how good or bad (though wonder why the spelling of article, which I now write checks and let Russified version, but still, the U.S. program). We are not having anything in common between our two countries, except for a few kilometers of borders with one of them, yes, perhaps, for centuries the history of sometimes very strange relationships are forced to speak English and learn it without exception.

Nothing can be done – the globalization of economies the world has not an empty word. One can endlessly argue about what language to choose for study. But for people a bit lazy conclusions are disappointing – you just need to know English if you want to achieve any results in his career, and then select any other: for there the interests of or in connection with the arising needs. The more that knowledge of one foreign language facilitates the process of learning a second. This is a scientific fact, and personal experience I can not contradict. In addition, English has now a well-deserved popularity among inhabitants of our country, including through access to learning, schools and an abundance of techniques and even the programs sponsored by Western countries. And what are information resources such agencies as the bbc or Voice of America? This, in my opinion, is a shade of information warfare, where the same U.S. is quite successful. Agree with me, because knowledge of the language – it’s not just your access to their information resources, but also their information to you! And it already means that some kind of uncle from there easier to explain to you my point of view, which may not coincide with yours or official. Their culture is closer to you, more interesting and understandable. And for this promotion is ready to put billions.
