Globalization, Ethics and Human Development

In the city where I live, Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina, settled for some time a new General Motors plant to manufacture automobiles. The state government provided free of charge to the new plant of the land, the electricity, water, gas and taxes, for an initial term of 5 years. This included the construction of the neighborhood free for executives and access routes. After five years, taxes and services they provide 30% of its real value. The reason for these gifts, was due to the instal-lation instead provide manufacturing, jobs for hundreds of employees, thereby alleviating the participation in empty Argentina. In reality, the company justified the 80% of its staff of foreign nationality, under the guise of specialization. Only 20% was personal "native?. I will say and you and imagine, is that there are such facilities for businesses, Argen-tina.

This is the reality of a globalizing context, with many parallels in Latin-America, which is totally lacking any component balanced. Is this globalization that we proposed as something random that happens, as what was to come, without the intervention of the human hand. Certainly not, the facts are produced by men.

If we do this globalization story, remember that the oil crisis transnationalized the economy prompted the countries to the ex ¬ pansion and the search for markets. Especially, do not forget the constitution of the new financial megamarket ro. A series of new phenomena changed the face of the economy and society, Rand a configuration ¬ unrecognizable to the aging face doctrine of the social and economic development. It's the end of the experience of State indicates that developed de Gaulle in France, and the postwar Japanese government. State policies are invalidated suggest, encourage, retain, encourage and discourage a state ¬ of strategy that is oriented to the private sector.

Rent seeking bends to the conquest of markets, it is sometimes sacrificed for a while to settle in competitive areas. Im ¬ portant is more markets to maximize profits.

The oil crisis gives an unprecedented boost to a technology that was in the begin-zOS, computing power, total intensity, which is the mainstay material knowledge.

It finds that poverty was no urgency in the early stages of economic development is not an emergency remedy, that its solution depends on the growth and it appears once it heals.

At this end of this show is the new management, a new liberal art, a legacy of the ideals of the Renaissance, in which the greatest artists, these was also a maker of airplanes and a student of our physiology. Art it is the practice and application, liberal as it relates to the fun ¬ fundamentals of knowledge, the discernment of the self, reflection and bevel of the behaviors, and leadership as individual ability and social commitment.

At the peak of his time, management announced that draws on all the know-how of the humanities and social sciences, psychology, philosophy, economics, history, physical science and ethics. But the manager, director, entrepreneur, not an academic who is satisfied in his scholarship, is the opposite of the spirit-templates.

On the contrary, his knowledge has directed CIA ¬ effectiveness and achievement of social projects, which range from the construc ¬ tion of a bridge to the cure of a patient, the educa-tion or design software. From there begins to be measured success in pesos or dollars, the motive of all actions is the goal of a financial advantage, and busi-ness take the spectrum of saints. Those who are devoted to an ideal, those who work unselfishly, are seen as hypocrites or fools. The proposed profit-making everywhere. This brings us to a totally stripped liberalism so-cial components, and a man emaciated, entirely subordinate to the economy. And here it is discussed, without speeches that make us up, in a peaceful rebellion, but firm, as its Adriana Russo-suggests, because if the sound of the trumpet is feeble. Who is getting ready for the fight?

What are the proper terms of the indi ¬ vidual's power over himself? Where starts the power of society? What part of life corresponds administering to the subject and how much to society?

There is no doubt that everyone will receive that product, which has always pre ¬ which particularly interests you most. The uniqueness part that should govern primarily interested in ¬ dividual, and the company's main interest is to it.

The mere fact of living in society imposes ¬ Give everyone a certain line of conduct towards others and ourselves as we legislate academic principles to protect the foundations that make up the doctrine of the individual, the man ignored by the progress, which has no cell phone, notebook or PC, and may never reach them, but he loves and needs the bonanzas of life as we do. This is to ethics.

We must deal, for ethics, social capital and development in Latin America is the only way you can humanize a mercantilist system without social components. Recall that social capital is generally conceived as a set of norms of trust, values, attitudes and networks between people and institutions in a society that defines the degree of association between the different stakeholders and facilitates collective action and cooperation.

You can have several dimensions: individual, ie the degree of integration into your environment from the closest relations of a person, family or business, a sectoral dimension, ie the action of individuals or organizations in their environment wide-do , their interrelation and their relationship with public authorities (membership of Com-munity networks, unions, business associations, etc.)..

Finally, there is collective or national dimension, ie social capital under-do as a legacy of a society as a whole.

In this sense, the concept of Social Capital brings together notions of trust associated productivity, civic and ethical values ​​predominant, together, facilitate or difficulties as the development of a given society.

The great advantage of this concept is that it does recognize that the social relations of solidarity, cooperation and trust are producing wealth and sustainable social benefit (because it linked to the social fabric) that could not be obtained from the very market. Allowed to criticize the absurdity that is, from a strictly economic standpoint, the fact of destroying social and cultural relations replacing them by mere economic relations by encouraging the commodification of all aspects of human life.

From the standpoint of academic disciplines, the Social Capital is the theoretical bridges between an approach will merely economic and a social and cultural development of society.

In short, the more social capital, more long-term economic growth, less crime, more health, more democratic governance.

The notion is not intended to replace the weight in the development of macroeconomic factors, but calls attention to be added to them this size.

The simple economic reductionism is a narrow and leads to inefficient policies.

When we speak of development, Emphasizing Sustainable Human Development:

It is a key term that must be carefully defined for the RSU. We break down the definition in three adjectives "human?" Fair? "Sustainable?.

• Human development means the "process of expanding the capabilities of people expand their options and opportunities? (UNDP). But not limited to access to employment and education and health services, but encompasses other dimensions essential foundations for humanity such as "the enjoyment of civil and political freedoms and participation of people in the various aspects that affect their lives ?.

The human development concept includes therefore the issue of democratic governance, citizen participation and oversight and the creation of social capital. It should be noted that the concept of "development? differs from that of "Assistance?, which refers to a humanitarian assistance to people or populations in emergency or extreme vulnerability.

As such, the assistance must be seen as timely and limited in time, because it does not in itself the possibility of expanding capacity, and can lead to "welfarism? which is a process of "anti-?.

• Equitable development underscores not only the need for all persons, without distinction or exception whatsoever, to obtain these capabilities for human development, but also the fact (well known today) that economic growth does not necessarily mean improvement for all , ie "development? which widens the social gap is not a "development?.

In contrast, recent decades have shown us in Latin America as "good-we? macroeconomic performance could mean impoverishment, exclusion and increased inequality.

Development "fair? means then the moral duty of justice and social inclusion and solidarity with those least able to develop their capacities des. This solidarity can mean ethical preference and priority in addressing the problems of the most excluded, but it can not mean exclusive focus on them (as is the case in the narrow vision of welfare charity) since, almost always, the exclusion has multiple roots and requires a complex approach and holistic approach to diagnose and eliminate its causes.

The inevitable tension that is, from the moral duty of solidarity between the participation in human development of other vulnerable and the risk of welfare, is a valuable source of critical reflection, and the question "What best serves the initiative the promotion of human development of the most excluded?. This critical reflection should be permanently accompanied Nar support all initiatives and assess their quality and legitimacy.

• Sustainable development means "development that meets present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs? (Brundtland Commission). Reaching the goal of human development to all people who live in the future, "sustainability? introduces requirements for sound management of available resources on the planet, ie complements and balances the social and economic perspectives to environmental and ecological perspective. Sustainable development is not merely "caring for the environment?, But" complexity? in lime-lar modes of benefits and costs of human actions, to include the interests of future generations and the issue "Green? in the reports "economic?. The sustainability approach allows us to conceive the problem of development in terms of management of the common house (oikos), trying to balance satisfying the interests of all its inhabitants in interrelation and interdependence.

In this direction, the first idea that we believe should be put in parenthesis is the traditional association of social change and development. The reformulation of this partnership goes through a critique of the implicit notion of progress, derived from the philosophies of histo-ria and evolutionary paradigms, through a critical use of social history and a comparative perspective. The economic power of minorities is more than clear the huge gap between rich and poor in our century.

It is certainly a huge need for professional attend college to become an administrator aware of the need of the individual and social justice must get rid of a fair society.

"The purpose of higher education is gaining wisdom, and this is the knowledge of the principles and first causes ...? And this he said Robert Maynard Hutchins. I think this is what we discussed: that the university is creating self-sufficient behaviors. That is, a scholar endowed with the intellectual tools to interpret reality, to act in accordance, and accentuate these changes. This must be our task without hesitation.
