I really admire Sebastian Salgado‘s work because he allows people to see with his eyes, I mean, with his photographs. His photographs not only display images; but also they depict feelings, ideas, questions, suggestions and many other things.
I saw the top photograph 30 years ago or so. I haven’t forgotten it since then.
The bottom picture is also really powerful.
What can you learn from those images? What can you teach by using them?
Is there anything that should we learn or teach?
How can you use these images to promote dignity, hope, and courage?
How can you transform cruelty into compassion?
Dignity deals with developing the best of yourself to promote the best of others.
¿Por qué admirar la belleza que contiene la vida me hace sentir más libre? ¿Por qué sentirme más libre me anima a admirar la belleza que contiene la vida?
¿Aprender a amar la vida estará relacionado con reivindicar la belleza y la libertad en nuestro quehacer diario?
¿Qué puedo decir yo de la belleza?
1. ¿Tal vez, que lo bello es algo diferente a lo que me imponen las modas basadas en el consumismo, con comprar y vender?
2. ¿Tal vez, que lo bello es algo diferente a lo que llamamos bonito o decorativo?
3. ¿Tal vez, que lo bello tiene un matiz que me hace participar de una experiencia íntima, irrepetible, singular o especial?
4. ¿Tal vez, que en lo bello reconozco maestría, perfección, genialidad, grandeza?
5. ¿Tal vez, que lo bello me impacta o me sobrecoge, produciéndome una admiración, seducción o encantamiento que no me deja indiferente?
6. ¿Tal vez, que nos conecta momentáneamente con lo que anhelamos o deseamos?
7. ¿Tal vez, que nos engrandece, nos dignifica su presencia?
8. ¿Tal vez, que nos enseña que la vida merece ser vivida, pese a sus dificultades?
9. ¿Tal vez, qué nos muestra qué es bello y qué no y, por tanto, nos mueve a replantearnos críticamente todo lo que somos y nos rodea?
10. ¿Tal vez, que nos muestra la brevedad, lo desgarradoramente efímero, fugaz, del enorme privilegio que tenemos de estar vivos?
11. ¿Tal vez, que nos enseña a amar, a sacrificarnos, a luchar, a ser libres, a tener respeto en la búsqueda de lo que anhelamos?
12. ¿Tal vez, que nos muestra que somos creadores, y que nos podemos recrear a nosotros mismos?
Sebastian Salgado, puede enseñarnos algo sobre la belleza
I invite you to think about it. Make a list of the 10 worst problems in the world. Do it in groups and, later talk about it all the groups together in the classroom. I suggest you to use the following website to introduce this subject to students:
Write on Google browser: «The 10 most critical problems in the world, according to millennials».
At present, scientific and technological progress is connected to an irrational and irresponsible consumerism. Let’s think about it.
I invite you to watch this first video called: «Plastic pollution, Our Oceans, Our future…»
This second video deals with pollution and destruction of the environment. Life on earth is in danger: Species are going extinct at alarming rates, rain forests and coral reefs are disappearing, pollution is haunting the entire planet and global temperatures are rising at unprecedented levels.
Ethics move us to think about our real possibilities to transform our world into a better place for all.
Do you know any ONG which works to defend environment?
Let’s watch the following videos so as to understand the process of socialization a bit better. First, you can watch the work of kate Marshall: «Agents Of Socialization»
Second, let’s pay attention to the mass media with the video offered by Erik Velasco:
Our main similarity is we are exclusive and different from each other. It is a great natural and cultural chance to be happy, however, on many occasions, we use it as a way to increase suffering and misery.
In the following video, some groups of people share similarities that they didn’t know they had in common (TV 2 | All That We Share. TV 2 Danmark) We live in a time where we quickly put people in boxes. Maybe we have more in common than what we think? Introducing All That We Share. The English version.
We Are All Different – and THAT’S AWESOME!
| Cole Blakeway | TEDxWestVancouverED
We are all equal beacuse we are all different, we all share the same human rights.
The video I invite you to watch is called: «FairPhone: Binging Ethics To Western Technolgy». It is about all these things: ethics, business and science. In the Western world we are constantly surrounded by technology and everyday there’s something new. We often feel the need to keep up with the latest gadgets and cell phones, but in order for us to live these lifestyles, people in other parts of the world are paying the price.
Let’s use technology as a mean or tool for human development, not the other way round: people as a tool or slaves to develop the technologic industry.
Wars are the main cause of misery and poverty. Let’s struggle with work, education, ethics against wars.
I invite you to watch the following video displayed by United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Conflicts and persecution caused global forced displacement to escalate sharply in 2015, reaching the highest level ever recorded.
UNHCR’s annual Global Trends Report said 65.3 million people were displaced as of the end of 2015
You know many people work to change the world into something better. We need hope, and you are our hope. Your education will be a tool which will enable you to improve our world into something better, with few wars or without wars.
In this video, Kal Raustialaexplains what International Law is. In a time of globalization, International Law rules relations between countries. If we work on International Law we have a great chance to transform the world into a better place.
