Position Paper

Global citizenship is the name that people have given to a new way to live in the world. It is a revolutionary way to understand the world where we live. It involves knowing that we are part not just of a little part of the society but we are part of the society as a whole. Global citizenship means considering all of our acts like thing that affect or help society. We have to take into accountthe responsibility for our acts and to contribute in order to change bad things. The goal is to turn society in a healthy, save and equal environment for everyone.

In the world and in the time we live, we find many requirements that society has imposed. For us to get a good job, a good social status and other things that we unconsciously have considered right and appropriate, is the priority. Weusually do not ask ourselves why we desire those things. Few people think through those borders and discover that society has been oppressing us through high government officials, people who have access to economic resources and gain control in the world. One of those kinds of oppression that affects all society because it has a direct influence over adolescents and children is education.Education is closely related to one of the most important desires; to get a good life. I think the actual education system makes adolescents and children depressed.

In my own opinion, the actual education system is thing of a century ago when society had to accept, learn (if it's possible to say this) and memorize everything teachers said and I'm really against that posture. Nowadays in the technologyage, that system still educating children and adolescent, prohibiting them fundamental activities and capacities that would mark the difference in a twice of years. We have to think in that, and in what we would like to be in the future. It's a necessity change or restructuring actual education because society needs people with the capacity of think over the logical things, people with thecapacity to create and innovate society with things that make our life more healthy at least useful for us.

I'm in favor of a several change in the actual education system of our country. We shouldn't allow that our children and adolescent even us continuing in the same mistake to believe that everything teachers teach is correct and is true because they said it. Actually children's first years areappropriate to develop capacities of create, imagine, deduct, and think in an open way. And the actual education doesn't allow them and doesn't support them to develop these capacities.

Nowadays psychologist and teachers have different criteria to classify the intellectual giftedness in people, the most famous according to the scale of intelligence of Stanford-Binet is divided in 5 categorieswhere in the top are people with the capacity to create and develop things just with hear, see, or imaging; they are the 0.00003 % of the population and receive the name of Intellectual Giftedness Deep which IQ (Intellectual Quoeficient), that is the international measure of intelligence in people, It’s over the 175 points and are approximately 2330 people in the world where totally are 7 thousandmillion people.

In a society where the most important thing is to get a good life style neither the level of creativity nor the way to analyze the phenomena of the daily life it’s relevant when other people without those capacities have economic power, family name or politic power. Otherwise the bureaucracy would be weak and the opportunities to people with those capacities to innovate andchange things with original ideas that in our society are “fossilized” such as the constant corruption, the environmental issues, the social segregation, the same case of not having access to education, gay discrimination, racism, etc. For that reason the helping of those special kinds of people would be of great importance for all the society.

Education has a very important participation in...
