Investigation of Truth

"Nothing is more powerful than an individual acting out of his own conscience, thus helping to bring the collective conscience to life.”
- Norman Cousins

This Reading was about the truth of the aspects of the human being. It said that the human being had two aspects the material and the spiritual. In the material aspect, continuing his nature of survival, man’s can be very cruel and egoist wasting the nature resource in their own benefits like we sow in the videos, man can lie to other people affecting their health just to sell more products or waste deliberately the water to feed animals in poor conditions for money.
But the reading also said that the man have other aspect that it’s the opposite, it’s the spiritual aspect that contains love, mercy and kindness that struggle with the material nature to create a balance between the two aspects.

The most important message about these videos and this reading is that we have two choices here. We can work for ourselves or works combine these aspects that we got thinking in the benefits of the whole society. We have to act like if we were only one and to believe in the human kindness, that accomplishment are built on the sacrifices and achievements of others and have the determination to eliminate injustice from society . The social action is infused with the feelings of love, harmony and kindness by an unshakable belief in the unity of humankind.

If we want to live in a better world we have to be better persons and open our eyes and start searching what’s going on with this planet, we don’t have to believe in the mass media because obviously they are not being honest and they are not projecting the truth and the reality and this incredulity are killing the nature causing global warming and even wars.

Planting the seed of contribution

Conclusions of the presentations in the class

First of all The De Todas Company wants to help and build strong bases in the woman’s selfesteem giving them the opportunity to learn and to start their own business overcoming their own expectations. The most important thing in this project it’s about teaching women’s with low expectations that they can put their efforts and to sustain their homes helping in the same way their communities working in a group when everybody wins.

Then we have a talk about the Wong foundation and for me this is the best project because they teach the children of their workers and at the same time this children teach their parents too. It’s a case when everybody wins too because increase and form an economy in places that are forgotten for the government and others institutions.

At last but not less important we have a group of volunteers that re join adolescences to teach them how they have to take their decisions to help the other people and show them examples every weekend of how they have to act for good and how to reject the bad actions keeping them away from drugs and make them the good persons for tomorrow.

The three organizations have in common that they teach people how to improve and make good actions that teach them how to help and to contribute benefits to the society. In the three organizations we can see the part Win - Win.

For me the best project is the Wong foundation because the children learn how to cooperate with their society working together and that’s something that they will transfer to their own children making a change in the way their think and that’s exactly the purpose of the project and its something that i would like to do.

About the class

For me this class opens my eyes and shows how i can help keeping out the excuses to say myself that I can’t do it.It shows how the decisions that we take are important and how change myself being an example for others. Now I think different because before this class I was think that the social work only was for the big company’s and never think that I can help too and now I learn that if I change my behavior I’m helping and if I do something lasting I’m helping even more.

I prefer to do the social labor in groups because in that way we can feel more safety teaching childrens. Its an experience that i never did before and i prefer to do it in group.

Cooperativa De Todas

In my visit to “Cooperativa De Todas” I did the next interview to Jaqueline Guano Guano:

How this credit have influenced in the development of your personal life?

The credit has no influence in my life because for me it’s just money. It’s the Cooperativa as an organization that give me the opportunity to learn about myself and my own skills that i forgot that i have. They give us the opportunity to change our lives with our effort contributing with our homes and families.

How do you feel being a part of this project?

It’s good to know people that work for helping others like us. Like i said they don’t give us the money they give us the knowledge, the selfsteem and you feel grateful when you look your past and you’re present and you can see the change you made.

Do you think that you can help other people like the Cooperativa help you?

Yes, I don’t know if I can help a lot of a little but I’m going to teach my nieces in my family that they have to surpass themselves and I will teach them how to invest in a business.

Before you meet Cooperativa de Todas, you thought that you can have your own business?

No, I always wanted to have my own business but I never thought that it can happens, my fear first was to lose the money but they give us trainings to do everything correct.

My experience to do this interview to this woman was that we can help the people as an individual person but if we work in group like the partners of the Cooperativa did we can really change people lives. These persons work together just to help the women’s that haven’t issues to start to do something for their own initiative and these are problems that we can’t see like selfsteem and just fear to fail. They teach to these women’s to fight for themselves and the most important thing they teach them to work for their society and always sustain a win to win relation like we discussed in class, we can win more working Cooperative than competitive.
