 My eighth post: Politicians and their lack of values, specifically honesty. THE CORRUPT FEAR US, THE HONEST SUPPORTS US AND THE BRAVE JOINS Classic definitions say that politics is the exercise of power "in relation to a conflict of interest. Politics is also defined as the art of impossible; that is, to make possible what seems impossible. But it can never be at any cost. The end never justifies the means. The expression that politicians should always demand compliance with the three H's: "honor-honesty-humility" is very reiterated. But as stubborn as the expression may seem, we must never stop having it as a reference, especially now that we are in pre-campaign times politics and we will hear as every electoral period the wonders "of all candidates. A politician who is governed by these three "Hs" is someone who views politics as a tool to achieve the common good. Honor and honesty must be intrinsic conditions in all politicians. Humility is a perso...

My seventh post: How do values ​​influence your critical thinking?  When we are children we begin to acquire knowledge based on what we see and hear, we do not invent, we learn from others, but as we grow older we become rational people, and little by little we create our own opinion, we create our positions regarding controversial issues, we adopt likes and dislikes and that's when we develop our critical thinking, but if the people I learned from have different opinions than mine, I'm wrong? Oh, of course not, congratulations! you have freed yourself from being a machine that absorbs everything that it hears and you have become a human being that thinks and analyzes for itself. But what is my critical thinking based on? How do I have one? I have it? Is my thinking good? This is where the values ​​you grew up with play a role. What is your concept of respect? Concept of empathy? The one with honesty? Do you even know them? Everyone defines their values ​​according to learned, ...

 My sixth post: Ancient Greek Ethics. Clarification: I have been researching a little more for my post, so I usually cite many magazines and research pages, I hope it is not a problem. "While the moral theory does not invent morality or even reflection on it, it does try to bring systematic thinking to bear on the phenomenon. Ancient moral theory, however, does not attempt to be a comprehensive account of all the phenomena that fall under the heading of morality. Rather, assuming piecemeal opinions and practices, it tries to capture its underlying essence. It is the nature of such an enterprise to evaluate and criticize some of these opinions and practices but that is not its primary goal." (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy). I read that the ancient theories on ethics are those of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Hedonism, Epicurus. The old ethical theories were based on the perspectives that each philosopher had, they dealt with the virtues that others pose physically and spir...

 My fifth post: GMO pros and cons. According to the non-GMO project: "A GMO, or genetically modified organism, is a plant, animal, microorganism, or another organism whose genetic makeup has been modified in a laboratory using genetic engineering or transgenic technology. This creates combinations of plant, animal, bacterial, and virus genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods". So, what is the problem with GMOs? Since everything has good characteristics, it also has bad characteristics. Pros:  1- Many crops have been genetically modified, in this way they obtain a gene that generates poison for pests, this keeps the harvest alive, and do not worry, the poison is not lewd for humans. 2-There is another gene in crops that have been modified to make them resistant to harsh environments, such as droughts.  3- Even genetic modification is used to improve the flavor of some crops. SUMMARY ACCORDING HEALTH LINE:  The main concerns aroun...

 My fourth post: Let's talk about philosophy! Did you know that "philosophy" means "love of wisdom" according to the ancient Greeks?  What name will that science that we use when looking for an answer have? So is! That science of thought is philosophy. According to the FSU, the department of philosophy: "who studies philosophy, is constantly engaged in asking, answering, and defending its answers to the most basic questions in life. To make this search more systematic, academic philosophy is traditionally divided into major areas of study". Many say that it is a complicated science, and of course, it is, we are talking about the search for answers through our mind, the mind is something complicated. Not even the human, who owns it, or the other way around, knows it, we know more about the ocean than about our brain, did you know that? And we don't even know half of the ocean, it's very funny that we know about something else that isn't eve...

 My third post: Is moral or emotional stability more important? What is emotional stability?  "According to the website Cultivating Emotional Stability:  Simply put, emotional stability is an individual’s ability to stay level headed in stressful situations.  It is possible to assist persons with disabilities in developing". What is moral? According Piscology Today: "Our results show that we consider  moral  traits so  important  in others, in part, because a person's  morality  can benefit us in some way.  Moral  traits have social value. ... From an adaptive perspective,  moral  traits signal to us whether we should approach or avoid and whether we should affiliate with that person". As you can see, each has different importance, but as such relevant. So neither is superimposed on the other, individually they are essential for a different field, but with the same objective: personal, social, or professional sta...
