Facing addictions through society , business and family . J. Francisco López y Segarra Fundación Patim de la Comunidad Valenciana 29 junio 2011 Lisboa
"There is one place where past and present meet and recognize ... and hugs. That place is tomorrow “ "The civilization confuse clocks with time, growth with development, to the big man with greatness, and also confuses the nature with the landscape, while the world, a labyrinth without a center, is dedicated to breaking his own heaven“ Eduardo Galeano
Nowadays, Society, business and the family are three pillars in order to support the changes changes we need to face.
Society We need to be critical and retrieve values and principles that avoid ambivalence thinking we must encourage the development of civil societyWe should look reality in a wholeIn Spain, the dependence is not recognized as a diseaseYou should discuss the concept of time and spaceThe distribution of wealth, few have much and many have nothingOur poverty rate in Spain is 23% while in Europe is 12%. We have the right conditions to increase addiction
Corporations There is no lie on it. Transnational corporations and banks continue maintaining benefits. You have to reinvent the concept and the types of workWe must create new employmentWe must help the entrepreneurIt is necessary to enhance internationalization technologiesWe must boost sectors such as tourism, rural, adviceWe have to promote financial literacy and create other new brandsWe must promote social responsibility Drug addiction is grounds for dismissalOur population is addicted and will be difficult to employ them
“Tomorrow we may have to sit in front of our children and tell them we were defeated. But we can't look into their eyes and tell them than trere present way of living is owning to the fact that we have never dared to fight”. Mahatma Ghandi .
Family The families should have other functions instead of being responsible for the financial crisis. The family or living units are required to ensure the citizens rights r attaching to their dignity and welfareWe have gone from the extended family to the nuclear one , from dependence to independence, we have created a new way of living the "neither- study – nor work “ people.In such a scene ,drug dependence is a major risk factorWe have shown that housing is an asset not a necessity. Today we have the "na-na" generation ( nothing to live ,nothing to do ,nothing to have) living in the family homeFamilies are about to drift off when they try to transmit values and humanitarian principles .
Reaching a conclusion… • “They are children of tomorrow while the others belong to past. They alredy live in a different world to the actual which is now ruined. May be capitalism is breaking out.” José Luis Sampedro
