SOCIAL ACTION. FIRST SATURDAY




















Our first time, doing social action in the “cooperativa Detodas” was very exciting for me, and also very interesting. We went on Saturday June 6, at 9 o clock. Since the socias where getting into their places, we started with a presentation of us, we explained our objective of going to the cooperative Detodas, They also presented and told us their experience. Some of the stories were really sad, but what is more exciting is to see how little by little they overcome, and to see the desire that they have to learn more every day, that make me feel very happy knowing that there are people who struggle every day to get ahead no matter what little resources they have. Also the socias told us that they are very happy to belong to the ‘’cooperative Detodas’’ because the cooperative has given them the opportunity to help them go ahead and also the cooperetiva has taught them to know value each one. Las socias commented us that the capacitation given by the cooperativa are very good they don’t lose any.
After hearing the experiences of all the socias, we asked what topics they want to learn in order to improve their lives and their business. They told us they wanted to learn about customer service, computer, English, marketing and etiquette. I am happy to hear everything they want to learn. I’m sure we will do a good job.
The objective in this meeting was to know about the socias, listen to their experience and also to know their interest and detect their needs in order to help them to have a better business.The purpose of going every Saturday is to help the socias and also because I feel good helping them, we know that are going to advantage this opportunity and we also.

DIET FOR A NEW AMERICA

Why have I asked you to watch videos about diet in order to begin to explore this topic?

In synthesis in the whole video is the truth of things. The videos are an introduction to this unit. In the videos talks about eating habits of many people, that is related with the unit “Investigation of the truth”.

This unit is about investigation of truth “is to guide an individual’s twofold purpose”, which means that individuals has to think in the interests and needs of the society not only in their own interest.

What relationships can you find between the videos and the reading?
The relationships between the videos and the reading are that the human has two aspects the material and the spiritual, the material.
The material makes consumer takes things to survive that were what was happening in the video that people cow meat; and in the spiritual humans can take conscience of nature and the environment which leads to decisions like the video that some people took the decision not to eat meat.

The unit talks about searching truth as purpose of life. Then the relationship is that in the video and in the unit the truth and the emancipation of that truth is out, the problem is that we do not want to see this truth, we ignore it, and we don’t do anything for searching it, for fear of changing our ways of life or person

What do these relationships imply about our role as individuals in our society?

These relationships imply about our role as individuals in our society that the decisions of every human being has implications for the world, and that the decisions we must make every human being should be more attached to the spiritual. Each of us is responsible for what we choose in our lifes.

SOCIETY AND THE ROLE OF THE INDIVIDUAL

WHAT DO I THINK ABOUT THE CLASS?

Before this class, I had no idea what was about this subject, I imagine many things but I never thought it would be so interesting and so useful for me. This class has taught me how important it is to help people, not just thinking about our self, also the importance of working together to form a better society. It’s time to change my way of thinking.

WHAT PART OF THIS LEARNING RETRIBUTING AND SOCIETY HAS THE MOST DIFFICULTY BEEING FOR ME?

My way of thinking was very different before this class. Now I know that the problems that my country has are not just government's problem, we are all responsible of it. We need to start thinking about what is best for others, instead of thinking our individuals problems or interest, it will permit to our society to reach in a maturity stage.

WHAT DO I WANT TO LEARN OR TALK ABOUT?
I want to know how abortion harms society.
