"Yet still, along with my life and if I live 100 years, 100 years I think of you"
Pedro Infante, Singer of the golden age of Mexican cinema
It is well known that Mexico is an unparalleled natural wealth, where the fields, valleys, coasts, forests live daily with the development of urban activities on the part of Mexicans, the ancestral lands of Mexico have a rich ancestral heritage allows us to identify a magical past, a town full of culture that is recorded, which was written and passed on from generation to generation, from grandparents to grandparents, parents and grandparents to parents to children.
However, new challenges have come from globalization, the Mexican feel that there are new discoveries to be done and not done, problems to solve and have not been resolved, to respond to new generations that have become trapped in a historical parenthesis between the past of a political party hegemónico1 that has marked the history of our country, these generations have been envisioned by a 2cambio democratic change 3a market liberation a commercial that made unprecedented gains in living standards, and the future not yet displayed by generations of Mexicans in the next 5 years are to be converted into the workforce of a country facing both competitive and governmental, educational, business innovation, these same generations are like Captain Hook, are unused eye and just see what happens in the future dull, gray, without a light to guide the new masses of Mexicans who have technology in their hands, a career services of the past that will break or a case history consider doing this to break the historical cycle that we have to answer three questions.
1. Do we have any future as a country?
2. Does the education of our country, we can release?
3. Is there a new generation of Mexicans?
Institutional Revolutionary Party that ruled Mexico for over 70 years
2 Alternance power was raised in Mexico
3 Signature of NAFTA on Mexico
Do we have any future as a country?
"I remember is we just live and live more" part of the letter of the Mexican rock group of the Tri Alex Lora.
The past is present in our veins, from which we are going to visit the grandparents, the past is a reminder of the mistakes of this paid by future generations, while new generations charged as a cross pyrenees greater weight by errors of the grandparents and parents, two generations followed, leading to a vicious cycle no vision for the future, just live the present and remember the past is our heritage, on the other hand, if we really want to build a future, we must learn from the past, or is commonly said, "He who does not know its history tends to repeat it" even though knowing this, the cycle repeats itself, bearing children has become the industry's future in Mexico, from the lower classes where the concentration poverty is greater, the sum of having 2 meals for 8 mouths to feed, in the calculation Mexican if possible to do that, the grandmother who is the one responsible for caring for children because the mother has to go to work 8 to keep children from different fathers are a boon to the Mexican home, the cycle of the past tends to repeat itself, this is the grandmother who makes the children live a past full of regrets and no learning and child development, trauma of the past remain in the limbo of this new generation of Mexicans on the other hand, middle-class Mexicans have learned that a child or a maximum of two required less attention, which maximizes its economic benefits, since these children received attention from their parents, television has been the main lesson, they learned of the jokes, the talk shows, gossip, in turn, this generation grew up with television and the benefits of the duopoly communication systems.
In Mexican TV, the Televisa Company atacks facebook, they argumented that facebook is used for a Kidnapping, in other hand, our financial culture in the TV is the 30 secods, news about Exchange rate and the lows of financial mecxican markets is not enough for create a financial culture in our country.
Antonio, your description of the current situation and its causes seems as sharp and elaborated as Dr. Dresser´s, and probably true as well.
Your three questions are excellent and "on the spot", I would like you and others to respond them.
Interestingly, fixing the whole system through political reform -changing a 70-year old culture and its institutions- can be a drag -particularly if it puts entrepreneurs in a passive position, depending from politicians.
Now, how you (and your colleagues) would answer your 1-2-3 questions? (I´m interested particularly in question 1)
YES, WE CAN
Barack Obama New Hampshire, Presidential Campaign
For the answer to question 1, I have two books to consider, is one of Samuel Phillips Huntington and the other from Malcolm Gladwell, first deal Huntington academic relationships neighboring Mexico as U.S., a major thesis in the book "The Clash of Civilizations and the remaking of the World Order" is that the civilization and culture with their Mexican securities Mexicans "lack of ambition" and "acceptance of poverty as a virtue necessary for entry to Heaven" are incompatible with the ideals Anglo-Protestants (which mentions Christianity, religious commitment and the Protestant work ethic), generating a clash between Christian philosophy and Protestant, on the one hand, from the time of conquest the arrival of the Franciscan monks established a root of poverty and obedience as a virtue that was passed from generation to generation until today, without knowing how to differentiate the Christian values correctly applied to each stage of the life of the mestizo Mexican, on the other hand, the Anglo-Saxon culture in the U.S. European immigrants were of a medium rich class that was not agree with increasing taxes on the British crown, and emigrated to the 13 colonies in the U.S., these immigrants arrived with ideas of freedom, justice and economic development, with a known potential and foundation of universities to enable universal knowledge. The U.S. declaration of independence made by Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin is the only place that happiness as a goal of every human being.
The other book I have been discussing is the Malcolm Gladwell of Tipping Point, this book highlights how to generate an epidemic, when we think of the emergence of an idea, product or behavior of consumers, we tend to do so in the form of cause-effect relationship . Ie, the results are directly proportional to the effort to do so.
According to the concept of tipping point, it is better to think in terms of an epidemic.
An epidemic has three key features:
1. They are highly infectious: a small group of people can spread throughout the population.
2. Small changes can have big effects, once the epidemic has spread.
3. Changes dramatically, and not linearly.
To have your product, service or idea reaches epidemic proportions, it is necessary to go beyond the border, or the tipping point.
A few months ago, the crisis unleashed by the new global configuration, creates a negative perception on a global scale, however, the president Barack Obama, has focused on signs of economic recovery by generating a positive outlook on the economic growth getting positivism on the perspective of the end of the crisis, this is where we need to create personal success and contagion in the family, organizations, friends and academic institutions.
Here, I focus on what sets Maria Mallot subversive when changing environments to environments propositive, we can change behavior, from my personal merits, indepependiente where we human beings have the capacity to generate solutions to problems; But the shock between one generation and a generation that proposals developed in closed environments, is taking another facet, on the one hand, a generation of young professionals with a talent for organizational development that focus on solving problems, and the wall between the emergence of problems of an old way of doing things.
Is the generation of problems, Vs generation solutions.
Mexico has a future if the Malcolm X phrase is understood and applied in future generations:
"Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today"
