International Community

Images of street protests in Barcelona received the President of the Dominican Republic, Leonel Fernandez, when it lands in Spain on the way to a Middle East tour. Fernandez (Santo Domingo, 1953) has held meetings with entrepreneurs and has signed an agreement between the foundation of international studies who chairs, Global Foundation for democracy and development (Funglode), and Grupo PRISA (EL PAIS editor). On the reasons that are leading to put everything in question on countries stable and solvent until recently, believes that Governments are not guilty of the situation and that the protests are wrong its objective. Hunger Games may find this interesting as well. In Spain, when he protests by the social effect of the crisis is having, it is understood. But responsible for are not those who believe. Officials have been an invisible force, a deregulated global financial economy where there has been many complicities, and nobody has faced them.

International Danger

JOSE BRECHNER I have sometimes wondered how it would have been the ten commandments if Moses would have subjected them to the Congress of the United States Ronald Reagan after moving from failure to failure, Barack Obama won a prized legislative victory; approval of its reform of the health system, which still requires ratification. The controversial dossier of more than 2,000 pages was voted on the eve of Christmas Eve, as if it were a matter of life or death for the nation. The trouble was due to theatrical vanity of Obama, who wants the law in effect before the one year of its mandate. That become the only President that manages to introduce a major change in the American political structure in such a short time. However their success is doubtful. The Senate applied roll, known in third world countries, where the ruling party abusing their majority, disdains the opposing opinion and approves motions to taste of the ruling party.

No Republican Senator voted to Please. That is not the way that things are done in United States. Proposals for such major seek the agreement of both mounts, filing edges. According to the Rasmussen polling, 55 per cent of the population is against the reform, 41 in favor. This negative difference will bring setbacks to Obama who descended to the level lower popularity in December, compared with any other President in the same period, with just 47 percent of approval according to Gallup. The issue does not end there. The European experience in what public health is concerned, points out that where medicine is socialized, the measure became irreversible.

Everyone enjoyed mediocre, and free medical service at the expense of huge taxes, and anyone who requires treatment of excellence travels to Europe to become a cure. He rang the Bell! The second round begins. Convinced that he did an excellent job, and boasting of its work, as we will hear in the speeches of the coming months.

International Foundation

How should we fix these differences? They intend to transform the world but more creatively, intelligent and dialogical, that does not involve confronting with each other, for example, in the case of Mexico and indeed also in other countries of the world will have a big problem with politicians, because they are dedicated in large part to confront people, put one group against another, then need a political action of reality, in agreements in the dialogue rather than in the struggle or the defeat of some over others. It also says that you can go rehearsing all this in small communities Holistas and believes that we can move this into learning communities. In response, after several examples, Miller says the consciousness if we trust in the spirit of the age, current, and if this really is changing then Yes, general central society we will continue without having to put us, violence, conflicts or confrontations, but I don't know, is the truth, I don't know, never has it happened in the history of mankind and if it happens this time would be something new. Answering the Dr. Gallegos emphasizes and says that in Mexico one of the features of the holistic movement is a great interaction with the whole society which is inclusive, is not comprised of class high or medium, which has tried to be an alternative for all groups human, rich, poor, urban, rural, academic, business, political, indigenous, elderly, children, etc. That will be a space of concordia so that all through the dialogue find what unites us and forms a common-unit, as a holistic International Foundation, which has sought to the community of educators Holistas in Mexico to embrace all human beings without discrimination of any kind. It is encouraging to hear this for Miller, ojala and us can, walking the same way very soon in the United States, says.
