Does the organization or the individual?

OR DID THE INDIVIDUAL?

Astegher Nelson.

The American psychiatrist Ralph Cook says in the book "The Country corrupted? American citizens have left their personal morality a collective moral, institutional ¬ lizada. That is, have abandoned the belief committed reflexive emotionalism and popularity, ie, responsibility for compliance. Bitter medicine, indeed.

There are at least two types of moral influence to American citizens today, (and the world), social morality and personal morality and individual morality. And it is the social moral sentimentalism proposing compromised.

Personal Morality: Can you begin careers in business or with your feet on the bottom rung of the ladder is up to you to acquire the strength to climb to reach the summit. You can do this if you have the force and will ¬ za pushing. Succeeds the man who calls it ... as soon as they start to make money, formed the habit of saving part of their salary. Set aside ten dollar earned. The time will come when you have some money saved can control the circumstances, otherwise the circumstances control you. If an individual has earned his money with energy and successful efforts to encourage its neighbors down ¬ work harder. In America is the only merit test. The birth does not mean anything. Merit is the supreme and only qualification is essential for success.

Personal Morality emphasizes the laborious, hard work and self confidence. Mo ¬ Announces individualism. It teaches that each person is responsible for its

own achievements, and if he is diligent, honest, hardworking and independent, to achieve the things you value.

Social morality is well expressed in a given ad in a small town to foster the development of a neighborhood:

"You belong to San Javier.

By the time he reaches the place know it's welcome,

What is a part of the group.

That may have friends who will appreciate and dis ¬ fruits of your company?

And also:

"A cup of coffee is the symbol of San Javier. The boiling coffee all day in that place?. This sign of friendship shows you what the neighbors go ¬ zan each other's company without tiéndose ¬ happy to share the daily tasks and difficulties.

Social morality emphasizes the union, and camera ¬ Deri. Instead of original proposed agreement. Prefers integration into the group before the individual rather than individual responsibility encourages group activities, replaces curiosity about complacency is the greatest value security before freedom. The individual even though it is a guest of the prevailing opin ¬ NION.

Most people in America today accepted social morality rather than personal morality as sociological assessments. For example, people's attitude about money. If a young couple not to collect purchases $ 500 and then made in cash, instead of using the monthly payment plan, they may have things they want $ 150 plus interest accrued at the end of 10 years. Conversely, if you buy exactly the same things with credit and facilities, not only will not win any interest, but will pay approximately $ 800 of interest and be in debt for a period of approximately 10 years. Yet many people these days take this approach. Why? It's easier to buy with a credit scheme allowing other people to manage the money for us.

Consider the problem of higher education. People are attending colleges and universities more than ever, but instead of studying harder science or study of the humanities, are turning to the studies that have to do with business, personal development, or the group ¬ towards dynamic and communicative skills. They want to learn to manage people rather than things or ideas. Support this statement graduation figures, the Office of Education records that the United States between 2000 and 2005 physical science doctorates has decreased from 45 to 18% in humanities from 27 to 7%, engineering, education and agriculture increased from 15 to 50%. And in 2005, of 783,000 college graduates, only mind ¬ 22.000 were in mathematics, physics, biolo ¬ ogy, social sciences or humanities, while more than 144,000 were in engineering and more than 136,000 only in business, these figures indicate that students are more interested in techniques that knowledge, in preparation to be accepted by society than in learning to live a full and meaningful life. Ma ¬ The majority of students prefer to learn rather fundamental truths that will make them more human, prepare for a job that will allow them to get a good job.

What about jobs? It is now an accepted practice for all companies, the payment of wages not only for the work done, but also providing medical aid, retirement plans and other good benefits with the ob ¬ JETO to remove all concern the lives of their employees. Large organizations move their young executives from one city to another, pre ¬ always paying the expenses of moving, often providing new homes. Many companies even provide recreational activities ¬ facilitate their employees and families. The reason given by companies to act in this way is that employees remain so loyal to the firm and maintain good relations with the rest.

To employ people, many companies are based on test results of a staff, but the final test is indicated by his ability to work on a committee, well suited for man has no ideas of their own, but transmits those of others.

What about the spiritual life of man? Religion is being won by social morality. People no longer dis ¬ cuss like theology, or the articles of belief, because such discussion inevitably leads to disagreements ¬ two breaks the harmony of the organization.

The use of psychiatrists to help people resolve emotional problems running this fashion in many churches.

Parties, fun, friendship and a place to escape the worries of the everyday world, are the characteristics of the modern religious scene ¬ sa. Concern for man's soul, discussions about sin, evil, or immortality, yet the importance of the church to influence significantly CIAR ¬ moral behavior - everything is lost: the church to become a social institution useful, emphasizing its efforts to improve human relations, while dwarfs the magnificent thought and friendship

These support the conclusion that so ¬ cial morality expresses the value of most people today. The analysis is certainly unique, because since 1960 San Javier a lot of studies have been conducted over the same point, having been preceded by numerous articles and books recording indi ¬ vidual that was missing in front of a. the complexity of our society. But if you doubt the accuracy of the findings of sociologists, only pegúntese himself that kind of morality is more in ¬ fluence in their lives or those of their friends. He find you stubborn, domineering individual security dominate list ¬ or ¬ mind most frequently is the predominance of the desire to be accepted by the group, harmony, adaptability and security mentality conformism of social morality?

If you agree with the descriptions are true, the next time, questions have to be concerned ¬ cause of the phenomenon-Why is it so ¬ aside the ideals that prompted the founding of America?. Apparently the vested interests of business are the cause of all, because in their desire to increase profits have tried to stabilize its workforce, leaving nothing to covet. Others see ¬ ces, the increased ease of travel is the cause, because members of a society moving ¬ Dad live in a physical world that is continually changing, and because they can not find more secu ¬ authority in a home village, emotionally they find complete acceptance of the organizations to which they belong.

Some writers have tried to find different explanations ¬ TES. For example, Aldous Huxley, the study suggested that ¬ development of science is the cause. Science in itself is morally neutral but continues to give us control over nature and people, without providing any understanding of the purposes for using this control. If we do not care about the goals to be achieved, the result would be a na ¬ tural "Brave New World? (Brave New World) in which babies are taken from a cell line post co ¬ line, adults trained to do one job and free time is dedicated solely to the enjoyment of sensual pleasures. In his book "1984?, George Orwell said that the march towards more power is so strong that eventually lead to a few mobs and use all the scientific methods to their psychological and intellectual, willingness to maintain this control, , The man ¬ BRE organized is just another step towards full control of actions and thoughts.

Consider the analysis fromn Erich, who is one of the most penetrating and. Psicoanalis Influential ¬ TAS this time, says the desire to conform or adapt is a kind of insanity that comes from man's inability to solve human existence. On the one hand humans are animals and as such seek safety, feeling happy when their physical needs are met and how the medium ¬ do not manifest around them hostile. But man is something more than an animal, it is also rational. Can you think of their experiences and this element, thought, is a new dimension to human existence. Instead of certainty is uncertainty, because it can doubt that the medium is really a friend in place of safety, ¬ is inse curity, because they may wonder if the satisfaction of physical needs is all you need. In other words, man is carried from the safe, warm and peaceful animal life of insecurity, and uncertainty of animal life,

In this way, says Fromm, many people are afraid of being human and become instinctive ¬ tive to the desired security for all animals, they act ¬ do in many ways, giving unconditional support to a go ¬ bernante or leader, allowing a regularly organizing their lives, making a living in some impersonal task and then vegging out all day watching television or a computer. The roads to escape the uncertainties and responsibilities of human existence are unlimited, but we do not consider how all these actions demonstrate the unwillingness and inability to be human.

What explanation is correct? live as human beings and we make choices, we should try to go deeper than the causes and treatment of in ¬ against the answers, how should we act? What do we value more, the Personal Moral or social morality? Should we pursue our own abilities, be personal and laborious work, or should we adapt ¬ being of the members of a group, ami ¬ latter and without contention? And especially horn thoughtful members of society, why should we value more?

Personal Morality seems to be at the heart of the concepts relating to the purposes of life.

Accordingly, should be encouraged in all human activities, self-assurance, independence and initiative, because as they develop the ability to accept responsibility is the person worthy of their success in life. But individualism can also guide us to the hardness and coldness toward the complicity and deceit, to the mere materialism, to the ava ¬ jaundice, depriving people of all sensi ¬ human activities and camaraderie for which the mem ¬ bers of the Church are distinguished. The extreme individualism is incompatible with any form or ¬ ganization. Not everything should be personal morality.

Social morality is also important, because both the friendship and the camaraderie necessary for a full life. Also a concern for our fellow man you should be continuamen ¬ promoted, and developed.

But social morality can also lead to significant errors. You can encourage compliance unreasonable and superficial understanding.

Can make us believe that the acceptance of forms and prac ¬ policies of the organization is enough for a good life. You can reject as undesirable to those in their search for the truths of life have not gone the way of the group. You can discourage learning and continuing education needed to give meaning to human life. Extreme social morality can be as dangerous as a Personal Moral extreme, because it would exclude some people from the organization in the name of the organization.

Social morality and personal morality are important for a meaningful life and both are part of the manifestation of the human personality. But at this time how do ¬ sociability prevails in our organizations, it is important to remember the individual ...

The choice is then between the organization or individual ¬ tion. But should be the organization to help the individual, because one ¬ mind when a person recognizes and accepts the re ¬ sponsibilities against him in relation to itself and with other human beings, becomes manifest fully, directing their behavior toward spiritual vision of life.

We must remember that man can do ¬ spiritual mind or not. When spiritual work, set his conduct with reference to their individual interests or those of the group, but have all the objective world, widely extended in time and space, choosing and deciding in view of this panorama, whose magnitude depends on illustration and understanding of the subject. When man acts spiritually, its action is also regulated by standards and objective interests, but makes his own personal reasons for the universal nature. In the first case the man has become independent of articulated mechanisms ¬ sides of instinct and the oppression of immediate circumstances, but their behavior is governed according to the benefit of the individual in their group.

In the second case their emancipation is much higher and reaches the limit, as it has also freed his own singular reality, the mandate of their specific interests, their tastes and needs as an individual to behave according to norms and universal values, as person.

Evaluation and monitoring of this necessary balance, in manifestation of our ego states leading to the objective assessment of reality must now be our task.
