Education and politics or politics and education. That it is first? Evidently the education that takes charge of cultivating the human being.
Platon in his ideal Republic outlines an education, on two aspects, the gymnastics and the music, the first one has to do with the invigoration of the will, this is the spiritual part, the human values, the desire and the passion of making the things, the second it represents the muses the Greek goddesses of the science and the art that is the intellectual part, the knowledge, the abilities and the boy's capacities or young; that that nowadays, the experts in pedagogy competent citizens denominate in this order of things the concern of the illustrious one I philosophize of Athens, it resides first in the formation of good citizens for the handling of the thing it publishes.
This way the equation civic, good citizens, ruling igual, buenos is outlined. In general the good operation of the state leaves of the good principles. Next Sunday, with some traditional parties in decadence, the local political campaigns in Colombia, arrive to the point zenith.
In the one that is defined another opportunity more for each one of the regions of the país y their future for next three years; they have, also, the possibility to channel their course.
In this new political road, the first sentencia está in charge of their citizens who point out to those in charge of governing the destinations of their region in next period with their good or bad decision. Not being homogeneous the society, the politics is complex and dual, a candidate is good for some and bad for others.
The voter that chooses his rulers should make it in function of his civic competitions in a same way with ethics and study, being objective without interests matters and fleeting passions; for example to have listened their oratorical one, to see their virtues, facts and real capacities.
Platon in his lessons of critical politics to the democracy, for the Greek sage, the government of the town is headstrong, favorable the inmoralidad y ultimately leads to the tyranny of those rulers that they arrive gently to the power and they leave faking and they go staying as that general of the patriarch's autumn that lived and it governed per centuries reason the time it seemed him insufficient to govern.
The senile satrap, is the ruler's antithesis in the utopian state of big plate and in the reality of a city and unsatisfied society. In America empiezan a to blow light winds of tyranny.
In this political proselytism the expressions in fashion more listened they are: I develop, progress, education, health; not more walks of the death, worthy housing, I use, mesh vial; without holes, it dilutes drinkable, security for all and everywhere.
In summary, a waterfall of words and sentences that it picks up the project of construction of a happy world; it is like a true modern version of the utopia of Platon ideal state.
But without ethics there is not happiness. The philosopher from Athens outlines the morals as the main virtue to reach the happiness that comes from the justice, alone a city or a state you can build with fair, and alone men the virtue that comes from the learned knowledge it provides us the morals to make wise decisions to be happy.
Good, at the end of bills all the men look for the happiness but the problem is that not all are virtuous, then the immoral thing becomes tragedy and pain.
The surveys push slow and underhandedly to all the candidates toward a single decree or it mixes of parties finishing the principles and ideals.
Drop to drop, the opposition is drained; today we see as the traditional parties they weaken and they threaten their extinction and the hybrid, good appear yes, but not with the same orthodox principles of party or natural movement.
In a democracy, not all can be in the same bank; if there is not opposition, he means that everything is well, everything remains calm and anything changes. Without contradictores in the other bank, the democracy doesn't oxygenate herself.
After a campaign of positions, promises, jumps, tumbles, alliances and awaiting what they say the surveys, each one of the candidates of the different parties waits the favor of the voters.
Good, now what is is the virtue to know how to discern and to choose with reason. Of a good or bad decision the future of the city depends, his, and that of the other ones. Don't allow that another decides for you.
