Many thanks, to locate us for share this experience.
What it worries to us and it fills to us of hope are the activities and opportunities that offer the alliances, the friendship and the excellent exchange of information, for the human development, from the perspective engage in a dialog multicultural and to multidiscipline?
The exercise 19th articulate into the Universal Declaration of the Human rights, has stopped being an issue, beyond specifies of journalists, researchers, teachers, communitarian leadership, and peculiar by the new features, to enthrone itself like the channel, to be citizen person and, collaboratives learning, skills, and thoughts for social and virtual networks motivated or inspired by social action, learnings and impulse of the reforms and modernization inyour own organizations, companies, cooperatives, municipalities and governments, from a border to another one of the planet earth. I sound of the humanity, has become possible.
That to make bloom the tolerance and friendship, and the expression of preferences, vocacionales tastes, priorities, life styles, passions - expresseded honestly or implicits-, as an alert sign for our mind in each case: individuals, fighting hard trying to orient itself in the maramagnum of differences, proposals, trivia and fascinations that is the Internet and whose point of evaluation macro is stock-market of values of the e-commerce, at world-wide and regional level, but that from the operative point of view, it rests in the vocation to share and to create continuous improvements of the individuals in each culture-society, that is to say, in the base of the one of a historic, linguistics, axiologic community, economica and culturally determined.
1. To demystify the search, production, circulation and consumption of information, meaning this process as an alternative for the elevation of the quality and style of individual, corporative and communitarian life.
That is the main factor has motivated popularizacion of blogs, the discussion lists, multiple memberships in communities or networks, the flexible, the search of affinities and the creation of thematic subjects and portals in the Internet, integrating opportunities for children, adolescent, housewives, unemployed, managers, politicians, artists, old people,people with handcaps, "to say their own word", to enunciate you limit and the demands related to the navigability, the accessibility, the usability, under the guarded threat of which those places that do not take into account his possibilities and limitations, you would feel lossed to each one of those individuals like potential clients, like potential Co-authors, in the on demand contents production of contents, adapted to the measurement, of their capacities and boundaries for effective participation.
The multiple infinite rolls and combinatories of the preferences of the life styles, have forced, as much to developer of spaces or Web portals, to create and to facilitate the encounter work, by means of filters and different levels from personalizacion friendly interfaces, one of but recent yahoo 360.
1.1. Benefits of the flexibility and personalizacion in friendly interfaces, for the common citizen or ordinary, real people.
Personalizacion, when it is exerted with imagination, and on the base of goals, objectives and strategies of communication, in function of the understanding of the specificity of this type of channels, can allow that a user of a virtual community, like the previous one:
1. Crystallize the interaction with authentic friends and colleagues, although never they have been seen personally, they live to thousands on kms, and not even they speak the same maternal language.
2. Improve the contact and possibility for empowerment customization, during the process for provide services with your clients and suppliers, present and potential clients or suppliers.
3. Diversify the options of work, coproduction and projection for your goods and services in the regional and global market.
4. One ties with organizations, associations publications, academies, essay, researches, articles, audio-visual material, data base accesses, inaccessible contents for an individual or family, if they had to acquire them in traditional supports, and to market prices.
5, Contextualize in a better way options for optimize your connection time to Internet, developing abilities, interest, potentialities, nonsingle for the reading, but also for the observation and registry of the lived time, in its district, in its city, region, pais or continent, to the heat of the passion by engage in a dialog and the analisis of the factors that in the internal and external context, probably can help or to put in risk their carrers goals, their aspirations of improvement, production or circulation of goods, products and services, in massive means of communication, at local level, regional, national, international or global.
6, Internalice the Internet, like a communication channel, that if it is administered, from the perspective of the paradigm of the human development, could, thanks to its potential of defense and projection of the diverse thing, to generate options "on demand", for a kid, an adolescent, a family, or a community, who wish to learn to develop empowerment levels and participation in useful, imaginative and funny : formatives, on the leisure time, educational, recreational, of search of use, interchange of resources for the improvement of the human resources, technologies and its contribution to reinvention or reconvertion of the productive apparatus, or simply, to stop being unemployed or to get rid of the poverty...
7. The complexity, is the distinguishing note of the way to make the things in the present time, of way, that generally, an isolated individual, does not reach to see, all or the best options available of the life and the virtual world, for their personal, familiar, enterprise, communitarian development, like lider and in the rest of their rolls of the public or private life... the Internet, head the channels where all the spheres of performance coexist, best and the worse thing of the human beings, has space in some Webs and communities, reason the one that if the connect time is considered that, it costs effort and better always will be money... to be selective, or join groups who that looks for with passion, the satisfaction of your objectives, within humanistics or commercial aspirations, social, politics, religious, cultural, sharing values like solidarity, useful references with capacity to make relaxing your anxieties during the internet search, good experiences you practice mainly and by, methodologies, that facilitate the construction of reliable results in the process in your humanistic, social sciences or contextual research, for solve problems, take decissions, or planning actions in individual, corporative, communitarian or familiar fields.
In my case, for example exist too many links to the land, the mother land: La Vega, the neighbors, the Cibao´s Region, born in Dominican Republic, habits, life styles, cook, socialization as Caribbean guy, Latin American for mother language, Iberoamerican for the same question and inhabitants of the time on the Earth: the decisions quality, the probability to be success in our dreams, projects, tasks or multiple agendas, represents one unrepetible opportunity for make new friends, and rescue old friendships, too.
Its impossible to survive alone, totally isolated and keep running the hope, in current world. If you believed or not, own interpersonal relations, help us to feel satisfaction, to keep running together for conquest new path, loyalties, goals, and develop fraternity and humankind.
You and me depend each other from decissions, and dessions depend from quality in inputs coming to our brains, system of preferences and references,they depend on the quality of I ooze that formerly single it harvested in but the distinguished universities and centers of central knowledge into the nations: the information.
1.2 The information, its quality, the present time, veracity and contextualizacion for the solution of concrete problems: it is I ooze I criticize for the decision making and the knowledge´s production.
The ways in which we were educated predominantly, when you had born citizens and before 1990, in anyone of the calls paises of the world nonindustrialized or Third and Fourth Worlds, had correspond with a foreseeable future, of but of the same in all the spheres of the reality.
With the leadership traditionally opposed the uncertainty, the innovation and the change, with perceptions of the education and the personal empowerment, like one ´herejia, challenge, to status quo or unnecessary luxury, for agroexports and traditional societies, like those of the Caribbean.
The world that commanded the world-wide, continental and local motivations and leaderships, with the previous visions is a construction and perception reality is dying today, if the reader relies to think about the differences of the present scenes to the lived ones in 1945, 1955, 1965, 1975, 1985, in any Earth place.
How were they the main elements that characterized the world and fordist paradigm, in the education, the administration, marketing, the familiar, communitarian or individuals projects for development, in the non industrialized cultures and societies ?
In which measured, differences the opportunities, challenges, risks or threats, stablished in previous paragaphs, for the human development, in the pluralists and participatives societies, that should to be organized, planned and you develop in the present time, like transition to the flexible specialization, desmaterializacion of the interchanges, the creation of shared in common networks, to compete, to share and to coexist with the permanent change, the obsolescence plans and the world-wide demand of quality and permanent update of vias of relationing- between clients, suppliers, and mass media opinion leaders- actors in the economical areas, citizen, projects, organizations, governments as invisible supports of the confidence, transparency and the solidadarity, in the exportable goods and services, towards a market without borders, at least in theorics terms?
A scene of uncertainty and change demands, quality and diversity of information, but not so much as so that we remain paralyzed, in individual, corporative, citizen, productive the responsibilities, since the information is single variable, for the process of decision making, but is not not the concrete or pure knowledge .
2. From which world we come the been born ones before 1990? And as these familiar, cultural, educational and experienciales antecedents affect, in our sucess level or disagreement to orient to us in the present paradigmal transition?
If we observed with attention, our children and grandsons, been born after 1990. They are better provided and oriented than us, about what to do and do no do for survive in current world.
They know probably better than you and me how to puncture keyboards, to contemplate and to react, to a world where each factor seems to turn with the freedom of the browmonian movement or the perception of the free radicals... many of them have been socialized in the world of the electronics games and consider that we reacted with slowness in the "battles" and "worlds" of such.
The new features were so agiles, in technology, sciences, the businesses, the systems of hiring or the labor surroundings, neither in our childhood, nor in ours the first youth.
Sometimes the potentiality and the macrotendencies of present world, should to get to defy the imagination and the forecasts of many of us and we, like imagining, that in I engage in a telephone dialog, the people could be seen nonsingle with photos, but until in video format.
The possibilities of access, appropriation and use with sense of the habiles previous tools for the teleconferencings and the video conferences, anchor in the memory, from very remoted times. The concrete reality, today, yesterday was science fiction.
We saw in our childhood,early 60s, telephonic without threads (moviles phones and localizers) like something overwhelming in science fiction, Lost in the Space or Star Trek, or the teleseries like Batman.
Nevertheless, although no of us comprises of Super Friends League, nor we lived into the undedround home place for Batman, messenger, allows that anyone benefits from those options with an investment, equal or inferior to $100 U.S. dolares, acquiring a Web cam, head Seth and paying monthly its connection to Internet.

Internal or overseas, Migratory Flows: Rural-urban emigration rural-urban, is a recent phenomena (1961-al present); whereas successive swelling migratory the international, are originated for same epoch, as it is demonstrated in the Migration Law - 1930s, where not slogan, the migrante status international-locating in societies-huesped like the North American, Europe Mediterranea and from first half, of 80s, also in Central Europe, mainly Germany.
Indispensable competences for survive as citizen: To shut up the mouth. Not to put or to forget and not take action in comments the events of the surrounding world. Not to listen to international transmitters, with soft radio, nor of short wave. Not to think, nor to speak about politics, outside familiar circle.

One classic greek author defined slave, as one "machine with hands", exactly the same notion or profile for "ideal workers" represented by dictatorship: elemmentary actions, not questions...energy, routinary tasks, easy sustitution on the market, when the boss decides.
Quality level in public education : Ever since the Trujillist State, in the Dominican case, for example I disassemble the ultimos surpluses of the hostosian educational system and its, standards -about one scientific and contextual vision, relative to teach/learning the process, like a util, exciting, amused and qualifying adventure for the exercise of citizenship, just like the incorporation to the work market, in surroundings of change and modernity, had come in backward movement. Factors: the ridiculous teachers wage, the little capacity of recycling of the goals, objectives and educative politices, on the part of and the professionals of the sector, have been gravitating against the opportunities of fortification of the capacities, the leadership and types of contribution of the withdrawn ones of the system to economy and the communitarian agendas and to the tidying-up of the Dominican daily life, from their, respect, assume, listen as local and specialized leader in the mass media melting pot, in a society where "mayority of people, never complete 6th degree of the primary or elementary education" (Source UNDP Dominican Report in Humuan Development, 2005)... Horrible scenary for be insert to global competitiness mainstream and to share in the world in network, where the minimum schooling are , are 12th degree or years into the formal education system (Source:IDB., 2001,2002,2003)... that means, the double of which at the moment we exhibited.
If we are planning be better is essential: elevated Educational strategics, educational budgets, plans, programs and improve national skills, in scientific thought, solve unedited and low structured problems, improving creativity and analitical view points for build the future.
2.2. The information power as critical tool for human development model, or peaceful ways to transition to modernity (1978-1992).
Even with the return to the democratic life, the paradigm of the information shortage not desapears quickly and easy, or the same rate that abolition of the administrative ties, for the freedom of thought, the association freedom and of access to the right briefed by articulate 19 of the Declaration of the Human rights. A mental structure had lodged into the adults mind: a relevant per cent, the life of the adults born and bred under the inherited frights of a childhood and youth, in the splint of the dictatorship, or the disquiet, lost of national souverany (1916-1924) and indefinicion of a national project of development thought about the interest and the priorities of all and all, inside or outside the territory.
As far as the information as I ooze to make decisions, within the options for the citizen average and in the ambito of the paradigm of the shortage, the authoritarian visions, of the wise professor-well informed about all, the informative sources and channels that we took by reference, for buld one cosmovision, one omnicomprensve approach to the problems of the individual, its thought, its relation with the nature and the society.
The difficulties with the first great crisis of the provision of I refuel on the part of OPEC, just like the long development of tecnologias fruit of and numerous investments and investigations, until ending at corn sugar and of beet sugar, striked a mortal blow to the forecasts and scenes of export of all the nations that had bet to the grey hair of azucar, as product star, to position itself like suppliers in the world-wide market.
To find solutions to the decrease in the generation of convertible currencies, occupied almost all the luminous minds in a decade period of almost one, being from its visions, the present model of development, that combines: Turism industry, the maquila model, for industrial processes, agriculture nontraditional export (flowers, fruits, and vegetables), mining, Reception of remittances, coming from the international, dispersed migrants in its economic exile, that beginning being political (1961-1980) and origin in economico-cultural, in less than a generation of incremental impoverishment of the population and proletarizacion of once, proud average layers of society.
Today in opinion coming from UNDP and its scholars (Report of Human Development, 2005) the exhausted model or this, with some ingredients that have put to eat an a but of a manager or lider communitarian... "in that foot we are stopped" at the beginning of 2006 and partly the call to the inventiveness, to the capacity of proposal of the present space of reflection, is inspired by this report.
2.3.What´s happened in our society, culture and economia, between 1978 and 1992, that motivates to look for ways to accelerate and to re define with greater clarity, as is the type of future that we will leave to our children and grandsons, been born and educated, in the transition to the third millenium?

Jobs, for example), product of its own process of the life cycle, changes on the global organizational environments, and low prospective in old generation for understand the codes and opportunities came from new paradigm (Khun, 1962).
Start up of the world-wide movement of social and virtual networks. Increase of the world-wide demand of destinies and activities of leisure. Increase of the conscience of the impacts of stress and the boredom in the health and mental hygiene of the worker and the citizen, in industrialized nations. Increase services, enterteinment and abstracts jobs within industrialized economies and nations:rediscovering the client, and starting to serve his or her interests, supporting these decissions with statistics, new data bank tools, as data mining or data bank marketing. Increase of the demand of products and services 100% handmade. Birth of the green, nonpolluting product movement. Political empowerment for green parties, participating in Europeans coalitions Growth of the world-wide movement of conscience on corporative responsibility. Increase of the exigencies of personalizacion and flexibility, to take care of the specificity of the necessities, desires and priorities, conscious or unconscious of the client. Refining of the tools of the trade by attributes and data bases. Change of the expectations about how markets work, adopting mechanisms of flexible hiring...
Dependency of the monoculture, using sugar cane and the so called ¨desserts economies" becomes a sector but that contributes some proportion of currencies. The competitive scene, for the businesses becomes urban. Increase of the activities on watch: B2B, B2C, even in non industrialized, to endorse the modern activities of economy.... But on 60% of the population it lives in cities, although within them, it exists a segregation of the space, real estate, pushing simultaneous the offers available in government and municipal infrastructure for provide it, and of the urban furniture, as a result of the increase of descampesinization,and the rural-urban first emigrate generation, motivated among other factors, by the concentration of the investments in the main cities, impelling Lozano´s and Aleman, in separated sources denominate "the cosmetic" urbanistic development".
Discharges rates of illiteracy High rates of poverty and poverty criticizes, increased after the agreements with the International Monetary Fund (1984) .Increase of prices and shortage of fuels (until 1980-1992)
Substitution of the Model of substitutions of import goods, for "connecting us" to the world-wide evolution of economy and the market, leaves of side the situation of effective nonaccess of the citizens in poverty and poverty criticizes, its potential contribution to the development of the market domestic servant, of generical goods and services.
Commercial and professional sucess, related to the service of sectors oriented to the surpluses of traditional economy, in parallel with emergent or new sources for obtain fortunes, so called new economy, like the financial services, maquila model, for assembles and exportation to central nations, tourism and land nontraditional export.
Persistence of Antiexporting slant in all the legal and administrative frame, for the rest of iniciatives, nonexistence of a Ministry of Foreign trade, in one economyoriented to the export of goods and services.
Institucional organization and management respect to the human rights, in spite of the persistence of difficulties and denunciations of fraud in decisive electoral processes and to the denunciation of police excesses like the extrajudicial executions, to impel a modern turn of the nation: the freedom of information, the safe nocturnal life, the study or the independent productive investment, increases.
Deepening of abysmatical asimetries in the distribution of educative opportunities, of access to the use public or private sectors, the entrance, or the international circulation of the citizens (trips of pleasing, study, businesses, just like the international emigration), from the privatization of the educative services.
Non violent ways for alternability in political power. Not without resistance, in all the cases.
Familiar values: Beginning of the axiological migration, towards urban families, with different levels from contact with foreigns nations, cultures and models for social organization. Appearance of theCable TV, earlies 80s, al single principle al reach of sectors of average and high entrance. The Mtv generation. The X generation.
Changes in consumption habits and priorities, as one of the impacts engage in a dialog between international emigrants and their relatives and circulate of friends.
Changes in perceptions and symbols of sucess: from inherited modest life style coming from 31 years under dictatorship, to the ostentation, consumerism, vleblenian principles, made in the USA.
International migration and urbanistic and real estate renovation. Beginning of the predominance of the American Way of life. The "yipetocracy"- preference and popularity from all ground and 4WD jeeps, luxury vehicles in ruling class- and the rupture of the coexistence bows, with the "poor relatives" on the part of the international returned emigrants.
Consumption habits: Please try to re listen "The designers" song, by Dionys Fernandez his Team (1980s) . Internaciona bursts in the synchronous fashion with the contact, in the entrance segments nonsingle means, but even, those of low income. Alteration of the axiologic system and aspirations, in ample layers of the urban population.
"The jevito" a new character on urban life, is born. It is made popular inhale to "dolce vita", without mediating the values, or practice them that they are due to adopt, to obtain success.
Beginning of the anomic cycle -into the urban Dominican society- Demostrative-Effect : the migrante of return, its the expensive chains, their automoviles and popular or mediatical doubts about the origin of their fortunes, increases the persecution in United States, of drugs economy and nonsingle of its consumption, during Reagan's administration. Unlike many nations, that have migratory flows and of remittances, providing to them an institutional compass on like, where and because to invest, we left numerous fortunes, they were destroyed by lack of consulting and accesible services, adapted, or, so that they finished into the hands of the leisure industries and suppliers -casinos, organizations of leisure, consumption- and very barely in the saving and the investment, for the development and the radical change of communities, like Janico, San Jose of Matas, Baitoa or Sabana Iglesias, that being of the first able ones to produce a well-known volume of international emigrants, in the postwar period (1965-1978), have not managed to retain an appreciable percentage of such capitals, for his eco or selfdevelopment, with the honorable exception of San Jose de las Matas and the Cooperative San Jose, Inc.
Internal market: The poor men became but poor, in those two decades, but the urban habits of the middle-class and high were modified, radically, separating of but in but in the activities - places of diversion, nourishing habits, frequency of pleasure trips to the outside of the rest of 75% of the population. They arise great malls. The first tax exemptions from the Mac world. Europe and United States, arrive enthronized in increasing segments of the middle-class and high, like the ideal of life, consumption and development of axiologic marks of reference, in the social moral, the social moral, the consumptions of audio-visual products and even in the patterns of planning and raising of the children. Increase of the competition. Definitive abandonment of the "boys affluent", any contact with products like indumentaria, cosmetics, "look" of national manufacture, to take refuge in the advice coming from the global market, in damage of the producers local and national economy.
Purchase capacity: Capacity to enjoy the supplies to prices of market in national currency and currencies, for 25% of the population...
Diversity of information resources, access and appropiation: Elimination of the censorship for politicas reasons, although pervive a creation of the dictatorship, like the National Commission of Public Events and Radiophonic Broadcasting (CNEPR), which for moral reasons, can act and even prohibit, we say a song, a concert, the entrance of an artist to Dominican. Some of the State does not exist monopoly to control the readings or the imports of documents, oriented improve research, leisure reading or citizenshi processes... although the international mail, always are slow... It does not unfortunately even exist in the academy and organizations of Human rights, the vocation to seat with the takers of decisions of the sector government decissions takers, to transform the CNEPR, in a development instrument, of the health, the familiar life and the democratica life, following international precents happens, in the Spain, after finish of the dictatorship of Francisco Franco, where the unions, the associations of mothers and parents of students, and organizations described as Literary and Arts qualified Critics - something different than ACROARTE, and including their speechs, articles and contextual visions, into the mass medias, helping to build a contemporary public opinion- social sciences, lectures, scholarsde, Psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, and other well educated and well informated members to the community, representing and acting within professional colleges, or civil society organizations, with smaller level of prejudice and greater freedom, to identify, to regulate and to design democratic strategies for works of art exhibition, violent contents, erotics or porno, tele and radio sweepings, protected by deontologics codes and scientifics foundations, not in administrative interpretations and discretionality.
Childhood Situation: CONANI, birth. Few government policies, channels and organizations for its effective protection, promotion of its rights, its vocacional, educative, artistical, scientific development and fortification of learning by doing, facing its rating responsible and creative to the market and adult world of remunerated work .
Situation and status of the women in the world domestic servant: Incremental incorporation from the woman to the work market, the academic and cultural life. Specialized organizations are born in the investigation and the proposal of politicas you publish of I generate, like Research center for Female Accion (CIPAF).. abundant violence domestic servant, little social organizations in capacity to represent its interests in direction of the empoderamiento. Reliefs in levels of conceptual or economical independence, just like in the visibility of its particular genre issues.
Situation and status of the women as opposed to the remunerated work: Increase of the women home female leaders. Increase of its participation leading micro and small companies. Gradual exit of closet, the modalities of the alternative sexual directions. Organizations of women. Denunciations and demands of regulation of sexual harassment. Beginning of the works for the overcoming of the sexist language. Attempts of sensibilizacion of and the takers of decisions, on the Human rights of Third and Fourth Generation. Production of texts, speeches and researches about labor discrimination based on genre reasons . The woman begins to run, by the merits of the social, academic, economic fields and work and to demand her space of political participation in the in favor and professional organizations. Increase of the percentage of women who finish the high school and is registered in the university. Changes in the composition of the sociocultural profile and aspirations of the urban woman. Beginning of the process of visibility of executive women, in all the professions, traditional and emergents.
Handicap people and citizenship: Legal, social and politica Desprotected, little level of organizacion of the sector in pressure groups, or you lead of public opinion , about explain and sesibilize the rest of society -congressmen and municipal leadership included- on its special necessities.
Matured people (40-64 years old) situation and citizenship: Absence of social security design with universal coberture, same cover that of organizations dedicated to research, the production of alternatives for this sector of the society, from the educative system or mass media, little level of self-organizacion to defend and to prover its rights and I interest special, in the polices and initiatives of human, social, cultural, scientific, economic and political development.
Situation of the old ones(65 years and more): Desproteccion in front of the publics and private organisms, that benefitted from their talent, ability to work, laboriosidad and loyalty, throughout all a life, or in the rural spheres, or urban. Little level of selforganizacion and visibility, as special segment of public opinion, in the activities of leisure or education throughout all the life.
Scenes for exercise of the right to dissent: All parts. Although the autocensorship of the producers and journalists in mass media even stays in certain subjects. Now they are not afraid for consequences on political-ideologic repressions, the risks, but the fear to lose the emloy, to be fair, product to face economical, politicians or monks as powerful people and social actors, who later pressed mass medias directors or owners, so that he is freed of that voice or he is present at infuncional to its aims. Incremental process of the mass media opening, granting of licenses to operate the radioelectric spectrum. Beginning of the process of concentration of mass media, in oligopoliess....
Risks exercising the right to dissent: descredit, blame campaigns, public descalification; "to fall in misfortune" or social and political ostracism.
Average citizens & contact with organizations, authors, projects and proposals overseas: Normal, for the pluralist society and the State of Right, although the limitations of access persist product of the prices of science texts, management, arts, humanities or any specialized information, by virtue of the little development of the publishing industry, which forces the permanent import of such insumos of the process of knowledge production. The step jump of a rate of change, of 1,17 pesos to dolar (1978) to 2,70 (1986), I end at the scandalous one, for that then 15 by one (1990)... factor that indoubtly caused that the capacity of individual and organizacional purchase of materials was suffered, for the personal, professional and managemental, update.
Social leadership: Mainly coming from the urban and rural middle and upper class; the social ascent by via of the exercise of the government function , the military specialty, the exercise of traditional liberal professions. Beginning of the ascent by means of emergent professions: trade, publicity, consultancy, and similars...
Corporative or enterprise leadership: Hybrid sources, of ascent and visibility industralist, since in ahead traditional mechanisms coexist, like those of the previous period, although these are combined with other strangers in the previous generation, like the related ones to the tax exemptions, the emergent levels of the new call economia, the insurances, the financial services, the operation and administration of the turistic industry, agroindustry, the informatics services, and to a lesser extent the calls cultural industries - editing, audiovisual, multimedia, advertising or similars- among others.
Referential points/concentration of the processes, strategies and methodologies for the knowledge production: Public University , Autonomon Santo Domingo University, leading socio-cultural research and proactive social actions more than 50 years, NGOs, private emergent universities- as Catholic University, Technological Institute of Santo Domingo (INTEC), Pontificial Catholic Mother and Magister University (PUCMM), Ibero American University (UNIBE) or APEC-, private and public Research Centers, cultural centers. Resurgence of the academics freedoms, although in all the cases, the same of the leisure like of recycling of knowledge, the monetary devaluation, rest speed to the production processes, circulation and consumption of excellent information for the decision making, in multiple fields, in partnership with the civil society organizations (CSOs).
Well educated ellites ....Attitude to socialize and to share its knowledge with share news with common citizens, in and from mass media: divided positions, in function of the level of approach of the individual to the high management of means, assumption of an proactive social roll, and availability of time...
Check & Balances System and its application (Montesquieu, Rosseau): Normal, although always in periods of elections ripples, rumors, threats occur... the nation becomes paralyzed, until it recovers the breath when the electoral court declares a definitive winner.
Consumers Movement: Nonexistence of a legal frame that will protect the rights of the consumer as opposed to, the trick advertising, the coporative social irresponsibility, the low quality of products and services supplied and consumed , in the cases in that such problems could be verified, by one impartial and objective a judgment or expertise.
Migratory Flows: Emigacion rural-urban, is a recent phenomena (since 1961-today), although this in this period is used like springboard, fragile boats for try to arrive at Puerto Rico; legal or illegal insertion in United States territory, or Europe, perceived in imaginary the popular one, like mecas, to which there is to aspire: "to emigrate to green nation", a popular methafor for refer to existing dollars or convertible currencies. Changes in the composition of the profile of the international emigrants, to begin to include in increasing, individual levels and families of middle-class average and average discharge, disillusioned of the blackouts, the tails of fuels, the difficulties to make businesses modern, or simply to offer opportunities them of education, immersion in other cultural codigos of modernity and learnings of new languages to its children. Beginning of cultural exile or exodus or "brain drain" towards Europe, the United States and Canada, fundamentally.
Indispensable skills, and competiviness to survive as citizen: To be connected, "enllavado", to have a contact of being able, a goldfather in the official party and the enterprise leadership, in every moment and differents administration. Popularly called "The game to the 7 heads" .
To listen and to agree at any moment with the employer, that was always completes word on the innovation, the organizacional change, the definition what to be well done, to trade and to position products and the services.
The cycles of rebellion against the previous logic begin and the deaf organizations... emergents blossoming of the activity of free lances, providers of interorganizational and competitiveness channels, strategical changes, human resources upgrades, partnership, coatching, mentoring, tutoring,and relative services linked with new techonologies for coporative development.
Beginning of the creation of the culture of the payment per time of listening or work, in the liberal professions. Indispensable competitions to survive like employee or liberal professional: The model begins to leak of which the employee or the employee, does not pay themselves to think to him, but to execute.
Beginning of the recognition of the value of the client, external in principle and later, of the treatment of the employee like internal client. Entrance of the fashions and the administrative speeches and of marketing, coming from non industrialized nations.
When watching towards the base of the society, in the childhood, youth and the scholastic system fall in account that neither the kids, youngers manager, CEOs and executives, are developing in the classrooms, capacities as the association or interrelation, sinthesis, analysis, creativity and autonomic thought. It initiates questionament of the bases of the fordist system and low quality educational standards. Closing of universities that did not guarantee estandards. Liberal arts professionals and civil society organizations , knock down the pulse to the State when evaluating the low quality to him of public education. National Movement for the Educational Quality Standards. The Educational Decennial Plan birth (1992).
Quality level in Public Education: As it is the scene, of life, communitarian development and labor insertion, for which it qualifies the scholar system? Then one that does not exist: the one to listen and to obey, the banking conception of the education. Decennial Education Plan makes enphasis, in the development of comunicativas pluridimentional personality development and multi task, multi skills, multi roles and challents to afront for personal, familiar and communitarian insertion to modernity codes, essential modern languages to survive in the global world; also in the dominion of the new ABC principles and experiences operating new tech of the information and comunicacion(ICTs) and within them, the use of the computer.
It outlines the changes of the scientific-technical revolution, but not it necessity of artilacion in networks for the collaborative learning (for this towards lack that in 1994, arrived internet)... " mayority of people, never complete 6th degree in the primary or elementary education" (Source: Human Development in Dominican Republic, UNDP, 2005)... Horrible scene to compete and to share in the world in network, where the minimos of schooling, are 12 years of formal education (IDB., 2001,2002,2003)... that is to say, the double of which at the moment we exhibe to multicultural and scientific youth exchange.
Thinking in all the previous one, to have begun to attend the public or private school, after 1990, marks a dividing line, as far as concerns the abilities, surroundings and methodological and learning approach to new technologies and images, competences, and manage or provide original contents, with the generation of post II World war until that decade.
Fortunate youth, but we are not going to resign to participate, because when all those kids were born, mayority of all of us that now we have thirty or but years, already had become adults.
The point is that they are living, nonsingle its moment, but in the surroundings who are seeing from their early childhood, whereas mayority of us, in many cases we resisted to include/understand that the world of our own childhood, that learned and the cattle, has put itself in risk, with the changes of the international scene and single if we put to the carreers, to depth, to run, after the new features, we will be able to reach the quick train of the present time: Unique ticket, to visualize and to participate in construcccion of the future, our company, our nations, our districts or neighborhoods, county, municipality in which we lived.
In order to obtain we have it to do with magnifying glass and detail that has passed in the ultimos 15 latests years, and that type of attitudes we exhibited in front, to critical factors for build sucess, communitary participation and diversify resources for export, promoting our products, ideas, projects, good or services on the cyberspace, such as:
1. Technology. Attitudes about technological change, opportunities and boundaries self concious. Competences. Goals. Capacities for improve our carrers and arise communitarian quality of life, within jobs and leisures environments, using popular appropiation and adopting creative and rational strategics for meaning and uses with sense to these new possibilitities.
2.Collaborative learning and wisdom recycling Networks. The groupal, multicultural and pluridisciplinary, works: task forces, teams or similars, in our family, church, leisure favorite clubs, activities, relations with mass media, school, union, university, relations with government and municipal life, or similars.
3. The modern languages as critical tools for visibility and exercise global citizenship, interregional integration and multicultural interactive channels for interchanges (Caribbean -Latin American- Third World)
4. Join your name, projects, resources in durable multidisciplinary alliances, partnerships, re-learn how to trust in unknow people, based our decission not in their words, only in their values, actions, quality and diversity of responses, solidarity and integrity. This process start admitting that each one of us get not ubicuity, omnisapientia, and capacity for follow with successfully, all the multiple aspects or variables to the tendencies, in world wide changes, opportunities and challenges, in a reality similar to a puzzle with unlimited external factors outside our own control.
5. The creation and proactive participation on self-help groups, for the partner-occupational knowledge management & recycling...across al the rest of our lives.
6. The reform of the labor surroundings and the carrers priorities , facing benefitting to us from the technological and scientific change, before to perceive it as a threat, or a field that we can avoid, like the ostrich, closing the eyes, putting the head in a hole and saying "no, no, no, this cannot be".
Hey do you remember the film, brocasted in Cinemax "Good bye Lenin" ? Then like who wakes up of a long time wasted in a hospital, in the case of that lady in the GDR, like her practically exist the same fears in everywhere, in each soul about, tendencies or risks to the future... the point is that we are making to let feel to us perplex, in unpower and acting, to put to us to tone with the circumstances... or to perish.
7. Finally, what kind of influence, we can exert - to me in individuals or familiars terms, corporative, gremial or in favor so that each one of our representatives, in the parliaments, the government, the municipalities, is sensibilized to make agile the march of the process under a descriptive sketch , as much in favor of the people of our generation, like of greater age, in order that the exclusion, the info-poverty, does not reduce competitiveness to us- our own continent, improving the social inclusion, in the ways of appropriation and uses with sense for ICTs resources?
