How excited it is to think about the new year. Many of us evaluate our life rhythm and stick to new or unresolved goals. The possibility of undertaking a renewed and different beginning manifests the inherent transformation that also characterizes human beings. However, it is worth considering that there are many issues that we must face as a society and as humans, ones that we must change in order to at least achieve a more supportive and empathetic reality. Perhaps the proposals we propose for 2024 are more individualistic than collective. How many of us think about us to help us recover and sustain ourselves in the face of the excessive violence our country is going through?

The education of Ecuadorians, which is forged at home and in the community, shows irregular seams that are difficult to define. I highlight this social sector, essential for the consideration of the collective and the importance of education beyond academic and production goals. Formal apprenticeship favors constant renewal and formation of suitable profiles for the labor market. Everything that has no economic value seems to be relegated to the background. There are certainly institutions where spaces are provided for reflection, dialogue and training of individuals who are careful about their environment.

Learning to eradicate these situations remains everyone’s responsibility. Discussion and exchange of ideas should be an exercise that calls for critical thinking and building a more suitable environment for everyday coexistence. Theatre, podcasts, television series, films and various media offerings can be put to the service of training purposes.

The case of Metastasis: ‘satisfaction’ and ‘advice’ of two agents of the prosecution who belong to the unit for breaking the structures of organized crime

Recently, Cecilia Ansaldo, a columnist of this media, whose merits are recognized and visible, received a digital attack from Alexis Mero. It would be excessive to repeat what he mentioned, but remembering it serves as an illustration of how little we know how to argue with arguments that reject personal aggression. It is a great paradox that this event coincided with an invitation to Cecilia from a city school to talk with students. We celebrate how much reading changes us, how much we need opportunities to talk and recognize ourselves in others. We also see that a reflective and critical mind is a product of time and study. It was a clear example that educational practice includes the human experience in all its splendor. Every step to transform ourselves must go with a dose of shared well-being.
