THAT STARTED IT'S TIME TO CHANGE ... ...
José Cañizales Márquez in his book "So we Venezuelans", play a song that logically and according to him should decrease over time as The population of professionals was increasing, but it seems that in modern times has gained force this behavior as shameful.
Cañizales seeks a psychological explanation of the phenomenon and in the chapter called "The rastacuerismo the Venezuelan" exposes the possible causes of this complex felt by many compatriots in the presence of a professional or a foreign worker, especially if coming from the North or Europe.
inferiority complex as suggested by the journalist Jose Canizales, I have witnessed very closely during my career then and now. In one of my first posts from the Blog titled "Are we Venezuelans can do it right?" denounced in part to this painful behavior that seems to not want to leave.
However, this behavior that I denounced in this list that seems to only touch practitioners actually extends to the whole population in general, and we witness the same behavior by observing that many people assume when in the presence of a person who represents the "power" that here in Venezuela is usually limited to politicians and some other influential figure.
This attitude partly stems from an inferiority complex, I also believe that another reason that triggers it is the insecurity that has most of our professionals in the foreground, insecurity product combined with an education inadequate training for deep flaws in our educational system has created a contingent of professionals unable to defend or defending against an "expert." This paralyzes the professional insecurity precisely because he does not believe in their knowledge or their abilities or skills.
I have personally seen as professionals who perform with authority and imposing on colleagues become violently in a few simple grocery boys face an "expert" foreign, accepting unreservedly and critical comments or ideas, and ignoring or silencing anyone who tries to demand explanations. This behavior would not be worrying if they were isolated events, but unfortunately seems to be widespread in our population of professionals.
Although the intent of this post is not to create a rejection of other nationalities, or the irrational rejection to the expertise required for the nation, it is a call to my fellow citizens to self-analyze when these negative feelings emerge , breaking that mental brake that much damage we have done and try to take a critical stance against the professional "expert" to discuss or rebut what he says with respect and command of the cause.
All Venezuelans in some way responsible and we have to minimize and try to eliminate this abhorrent behavior. Clearly the primary responsibility rests with those who hold the reins of the country and all managers or business managers through the modeling lead by example through greater reliance on their intellectual, technical and professional. This is the first step to undermine this behavior currently has no basement.
parallel to the change in attitude of the political and business leaders must strengthen education (education) and vocational training, educational policies should be promoted where value to our minds, our scientists, our artists Our technicians, etc. a system that denigrates us so veiled or direct, allowing the intellectual and emotional development of children and youth, we are taught to think and as Dr. Luis Alberto Machado, who has taught us to be smarter, something that has already been tried in the past.
We have to give us the opportunity to prove to ourselves our abilities that have nothing to envy to the rest of the world and thus begin to get out of this desperate underdevelopment we are stranded, out of spiritual poverty and mental marginality that every day seems to gain ground.
People who have that responsibility to the country must find the methods and procedures in conjunction with our great thinkers and listening to everyone somehow want to change the attitude towards the "criollo vividness" that is a face of opportunism, which wants to change its attitude towards knowledge, studies and work to shape a personal development plan, individual and group in order to seek more independence, wellness and the vaunted sovereignty. .... We can not be sovereign if we are a nation dependent on others, a nation that does not produce enough to keep its population fed can not be sovereign, a nation that does not believe, or care, or sit in their intellectuals, professionals and workers can not be sovereign. I could not be a sovereign nation that does not develop technology. Sovereignty is closely linked to technological development, not the purchase of technologies.
The task is not easy, since we must fight against a culture, an idiosyncratic way of life that is the anchor that keeps us from developing as individuals, collectively and as a nation that aspires placed in the world, we must fight these dark feelings of envy and resentment towards our compatriots that somehow stand out and show skills and attitudes that are the engine for development, Venezuela is full of genius in all branches of knowledge that have been silenced, abused, ignored and even literally banished by the absurdity of rejection behavior the individual who tries to stand out from the mediocrity that in the end people have strengthened the sovereignty of other nations and not ours to work and thoughts ... ...
... They say that the future is in children, but Who will educate?, who will train them?, "the same people who believe in themselves or their countrymen? ... The task is not easy because there is no recipe or magic wand to get us out of the quagmire, the only way out is to commit ourselves to ourselves and to start changing attitudes, trust your skills and knowledge in him and mine, if we change change as individuals and collectively.
Despite how difficult it seems the task, I believe that change is possible, a change of attitude in people, those that dominated his art or trade, they have developed and strengthened their knowledge in a consistent and conscious to keep it in place regardless of who is in front. All that we somehow managed to overcome these feelings we have to step forward as people, as workers and professionals, providing a bit and setting a precedent for our integrity and sovereignty.
Personally, only justifies the presence "experts" imported into the fields beyond our capacity for being cutting-edge issues or unconventional and even some conventional are in disarray and out of control with the idea to provide solutions that currently can not see , the expert is the perfect opportunity for us to develop a little more acquiring the skills and "stealing" the knowledge, making it ours, so we can justify and use the figure of the expert without having to feel inferior.
is time we begin to change ... ...
