Capitulo 3:Do what you want

Sometimes we are free to decide whether we follow someone else's orders.The most important think of this is to be aware of what,and why we decide it. We should think twice before taking our decisions. Because in some cases they can hurt someone in any way. The example that Savater told Amador about the soldier makes me feel ... so uncomfortable, you know.. Ican't believe that he obey these orders without questioning,he killed people like him like us, but of course most of us know that there a lot of terrible examples about this situations.It terrible!

Capitulo 2: "ORDENES,COSTUMBRES Y CAPRICHOS".

As teacher one of our most important goal is to teach our students as better as possible but sometimes it is difficult to reach it.
When I was at secondary school I remember a group of teachers who used to coloborate to"Escuelas de fronteras" in Salta.They told us they stayed in these schools during one month and they found most of the teacher who live there have the role of parents,doctors and clowns.Parents because they listened to children and parents' problems,doctors because child live in extremely poverty so most of them health problems.And clowns because whenever they go there they organise celebrations and try to enjoy these days with them.
I think of course ,they feel proud of their job,but if we think about Aristoteles' situation.We can saythe teachers are the captain of the ship and children are the crew and the storm is the extremely poverty in which they live .The teacher is oblige to decide if she has to just teach no matter what children's problems are or try to help these people inmediately and then think abput their education. This is a difficult and long travel to think about..

Capitulo 1:"De que va la Etica".

I think most of us had a rude awakening when we read some lines of this chapter.One of them that make me feel close to this lines was:"como no somos libres no podemos tener la culpa de nada de lo que nos ocurra".What Savater try to say to Amador is that some people think that we are not free really, so they are not responsible for their actions.

When we were at school, we started thinking critically, it means that we learnt that there are differents vision of the reallity,differents ideas and that we 've born in a society, so when we grew up our ideas are partly influenced by this society.

Ithink we confused the idea that our teacher want us to learn.For example I had the idea that our thoughts and decisions are totally influenced by the society and our cultural background and therefore I thought no matter what I do , no matter what I feel ,all my actions were a product of my surroundings.

So, the word "FREEDOM" doesn't take place in my life according to this thougth.But fortunately, during this process of learning I 've found the real idea of all what my teacher try to explain to us,as Savater try to explain to Amador.Now I can see that,of course we need to know our cultural background,different ideas,different points of view,but it doesn't mean we need to follow them or copy them.They are very important because they contribute to our decisions, these differents views, ideas help us to construct our own knowledge an dthen we are FREE to choose what way to follow, what kind of decisions we want to take.But instead of thinking about our bad luck,we can decide what can we do to fight against this bad luck! this mean to be FREE.
