Sex, Drugs & Psychological

Drug Prevention: welfare or bad deal?   
   
      The news talks about selected projections of drug research in the next 20 years, where as a contextualization explains the important development that has taken science to curb drug addiction and help at a time, to overcome this distressing phase with psychological treatments.

       It is assumed that in the future, technology will be sufficient for use in developing vaccines ineffective drugs, avoiding consumption and addiction in humans, as occurs today oppositely with addiction to cocaine and nicotine.
   
Given this scenario, the conflict over whether the measure is necessary because it would undermine the free albredrío people by depriving them of choice of some drug use. Or worse, question remains whether this measure should apply even to children, understanding them on one hand as potential consumers and the duty to protect, or other potential consumers to enter into the next twenty years the consumer market unnecessary items.



    As staff, I believe that those who are opposed to such prevention, are just intellectuals who advocate more for consumption and growth of their companies (do not forget that pharmacology is the third big business worldwide) than the welfare and health of the people themselves.

Human Education: Resist!!




Ken Robinson speaks about the importance of the creativity in the formation of human. He explains the present system of education is so locked in the delivery of knowledge for our future work, leaving forgotten  the creativity the persons,  even make when we children the most curious, creatives and the most conviction persons in the wolrd, but when we grow, our own social system we lose that ability dreamy and transform it in “breeding machines”, without having any choice to seek an alternative route of such prototypes as even the current system is responsible for discriminating against those who leave the "normal".
The crisis of the education system through not only a matter of creativity, I think the problem is both meaning and structure. On the talk, I totally agree with the idea put forward by saying that Robinson neglects the arts and virtually through them, to exploit this type of expression could overcome this education as conservative, but still do not think solve this educational problem, since the main problem of education is the market model, ergo it must be extirpated from curd, proposes an alternative to house all disciplines precisely alike and also go towards the subject and society, and not with a view to further commodify.
Finally, note the importance of considering social subjects and provide for it in the growth of society, to get to that is necessary to depart from the rules communes and be able to be more creative, and altruistic with our partners.

If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original.”
