The truth about lies in politics

The truth about lies in politics Recently, I have heard someone say that once we believe in a belief or a philosophy, our objectivity decreases badly. We no longer try to discern whether something we read or hear is true and correct, we simply accept any information that corroborates our belief. This can be seen in the policy. Unfortunately, it seems a common practice for politicians and members of Congress to put themselves first, to play political parties, to accept money from lobbyists and big donors in exchange for their votes, while showing little concern for things that are good for our country and taxpayers. When these politicians are set up, try to answer difficult questions or get something wrong or illegal, which is rarely responsible. For too many politicians, the lie seems to be second nature. The main supporters of many politicians hasten to accept the political leader's assertions as the truth and go forward even when the claim is clearly false. Nowadays, it s...

The media: Do traditional media use slander to control people?

The media: Do traditional media use slander to control people? Before the advent of alternative media, the mainstream media had almost all the control. This meant that it was normal for most people to believe just about anything this source had published. Nowadays, thanks to the alternative media, this source no longer has the same control as in the past. But, while their influence on people has diminished in recent years, it would be a mistake to believe that its source is in danger. Old habits die hard â € People of all ages are attentive to the mainstream media, just as there are some who are not. What has definitely given life a lifeline is the ease with which a person can consume what they sell using modern technology. As long as someone has a type of device, he can download everything this source says, no matter where it is. It is not necessary for someone to watch television or listen to the radio because it would have been necessary in the past to collect informati...

System and lifeworld

System and lifeworld Regardless of how we value our work, there is a significant gap between our professionals and personal / social life. One of the main reasons for this gap is the degree of perceived control over what we are doing in both areas. In the first case, we usually do what we need. The social sphere, which includes our interactions with the family and society as a whole, in a professional and administrative sphere where we work or interact with institutional authority. This includes all aspects of life, including family life, culture and informal social interactions. It is a sphere in which we lead a large part of our social and personal lives. The world of life is based on a tacit pool of shared meanings and understanding that enables us to perform actions that we know others will understand. Therefore, our daily actions in the world of life are generally communicative. The lifeworld can be understood as a world of the obvious or the given, a world that subjects can...

Shamanism and transcendence

Image
Shamanism and transcendence In general, transcendence means experience that goes beyond the normal and the ordinary. It can be assumed that experiences such as "near-death experiences" can be classified as examples of transcendence. In general, transcendence means that one has transcended the ordinary limits of physical reality, that is, one has become integrated into a spiritual state. For the shaman, this means the potential connection with a particular mind in nature, in universal energy fields, domains, and / or parallel universes. Much has been written about the use of hallucinogens and shamanic travel. All shamans do not use drugs. They use, as I said, sound and hallucinogens. When I speak of shamanic transcendence, I mean a significant awareness that goes beyond what is normal for a human, especially a changed one. For me, this shamanic transcendence really means a transcendence of oneself. This, in turn, means being part of what is greater than you. I'm not...

Presidents and national crises

Presidents and national crises US reactions to Pearl Harbor and the September 11 crisis have shown that national mobilization under the leadership of a strong president is enormous. The totalitarian regimes surrounding the unwanted leaders are strong opponents, but American experience has shown that overwhelming limited powers can awaken the nation's extraordinary efforts to resist the threats to national security. We are in danger if historical similarities recall the 1920s, the methods of Hitler, the coup of the Soviet Cold War and the Watergate darkness of President Nixon. Jon Meacham reminded us of American experiences in the upcoming national debates The Soul of America. In his report, he stressed the importance of the presidency in the challenges of courage, determination and integrity. The purpose of this article is to extend Meacham's focus on the presidency as a good force by briefly reviewing its position in national emergencies. The aim is to clarify the risk...

New policies required for public discussion

New policies required for public discussion It does not matter if someone is a passionate supporter of President Trump or who can not agree with him on almost every problem or question, most would agree. We are currently experiencing very different moments in many ways. as just recently! The purpose of this article is not to support anyone, but to try to make America civil again so that Americans start talking to each other instead of meeting each other. We have had periods of considerable political discourse and disagreement, such as the civil rights parades of the 1950s and early 1960s, murders (especially of the 1960s), the anti-war movement of the 1960s, etc. ., presidential candidates, out of the United States, the political norm (as Goldwater and Wallace in the 1960s), the drama of the Nixon era, the Iranian Hostage crisis at the Carter era, the Russian antagonism in the Reagan era, the Clinton issues and the terror controversies of September 11 and the ugliness of racism, whic...
